politics, hot take that I'm not really ready to defend(v0182 (SPON (ST means testing is a great way to get rich people to hate the government ) (ST cause, like, we all like getting free stuff from the government (e.g. welfare, business funding, tax incentives, etc.), and if rich people were paying their share of taxes they would've already paid for it tenfold, so we might as well let them have it too )))
(v0182 (XSTM (ST I am once again wondering why youtube playables are a thing ) (RQ I guess serving a shitty browser game is cheaper than streaming a video for the same amount of time spent? ) (QUERY do they have ads? )))
@southpaw1312(v0182 (INTE (ST tbf I'm more used to sports that are no more complicated than "a single object continuously moves and someone scores if that object enters a certain zone" but idk, I do inherently want to understand how a certain sport works if I watch it )))

(v0182 (EXTN (ST I still don't understand american football at all like why does it pause every 5 seconds and why does it look like a war zone baseball is a complicated mess but that seems comprehensible-ish )))
(v0182 (XSTM (ST baseball and american football are both very complicated and confusing games except it seems like american football lasts 10 seconds while baseball lasts forever )))
food(v0182 (SPON (ST google maps search has gotten significantly worse for some reason I'm trying to search for all food places in an area and "restaurants" only gives me some restaurants (i.e. not food court places) and "food" also doesn't give me all of them filtering by business hours still seems to work for now )))
