ah, the knife cuts both ways. do you perchance enjoy a feeling of superiority when you use the term "sportsball"? how much more cerebral and refined you must be than those sweaty grunts! i find people who spend their days "coding for fun" or whatever tedious, but i don't attempt to ascribe their habits to sinister cultural forces or paint them as self-obsessed egotistical narcissists

  > do you perchance enjoy a feeling of superiority when you use the term "sportsball"? Yes, because I'm a grown man who doesn't feel a deep emotional need to watch a bunch of men wearing spandex running around on some grass. Playing sports is a really awesome thing, and everyone should do it. Enjoying the occasional game is probably okay. Following sports is IMHO a kind of mentally unhealthy extended adolescence. > i find people who spend their days "coding for fun" or whatever tedious I am tedious — but fortunately we live in a world where people with my kind of tedious personality are well-rewarded for our skills. A few centuries ago and no doubt I'd have starved to death.

>Do you perchance derive a feeling of superiority from your rigorosity? Guess again, I haven't been to the gym in some time so my ego isn't at stake here. I look down on this article precisely because it couches a malicious attack in pseudo-innocent terms, not because it has anything to do with me.
