  • I’ve come to realise that Americans don’t like sports per say. They like the spectacle. It explains why they prefer American football to football. Four hours of show to one hour of actual sports.

    It also explains their attitude to expansion teams. From a European perspective, getting a fanbase to “love” your team within a year of creation is wild. Most newly created teams in football are detested and get labeled as being “purchased” rather than having fans, even if they win. A fandom is something you get from growing up with a team, and you never, ever change the team.













  • They objectively take longer. And honestly, nuance is lost in text. Especially if you rush it and dont use grammar, use abbreviations slang without context.

    Text is good when you need to convey things that take a long time to find. In IT that means, ip-addresses, fqdn, configs etc. But if i need a yes or no answer, i wont be sending an email or even a dm. People have shit to do and they might be waiting for me/the response to get back to their own thing.
