Thanks for letting me keep my sats. I’ll tell you this to make you feel better in exchange since I’m apparently playing the UK nearly exclusively against you guys.
I suck at sports, mostly ignored them throughout life; but, about eight years ago, I started watching sports that no one else does here in my neck of the world. I wanted to go into sports as a spectator and figure out the rules by watching.
It started with darts. Blew my mind that there’s people having a better time getting drunk and proudly giving up there job to be in attendance for Worlds Dart Championships. Makes the Super Bowl even lamer. 🎶Oooooooooone hundred and eeeeeighhttyy🎶
Now I’ve seen about 4 full cricket matches and I still don’t know what the wickets mean compared to the run count.
When ball hit wickets the batter is out. New batter until none left then teams switch places.
The lap count is the score.
Nobody knows how cricket works. They swing about for hours until boredom sets in, pretty sure.
Thats cool though.
Was never a huge athlete or sports fan, but played some here and there, always respected them. Sports at any level, if you're trying to get better and playing a well matched opponent, is the best way to get into "flow state" there is imo
You are correct. In cricket, one side hits the ball until they get bored, and then the other side does the same, and whoever is least bored by the end of their turn wins
Makes sense to me
What makes less sense is that I've heard sumo cricket is a type of cricket bat, not a different game
Was not aware of that.
Sumo is another odd sport. One think I'd dig if I understood it better. Apparently there's a pasty rising star from Ukraine taking it by storm
Do they get a lot of chances to practice their sumo wrestling in Ukraine? 🤔
Funnily enough, I've had baseball explained to me on more than one occasion but I'm still like, nope🤷🏻♂️.
Yeah a large baseball and cricket fanbase never seem to coexist in the same country from what I’ve noticed, but all in all they seem very similar.
It’s nothing too crazy hard I didn’t think. But American Football… now there’s some nonsense rules and they are constantly updating them too. I don’t even try.
Baseball players always seem like the least athletic people just standing around chewing gum, wearing jewelry, but fuck man can they throw and jump high when the time comes. And pitching a baseball professionally is some crazy stuff to see in slow-mo.
Don’t like watching it most of the time except seeing someone grow increasingly nervous when pitching a perfect game: that’s the most beautiful, nerve racking thing in baseball.
There are 11 batsmen, once 10 are out, that's the innings over (As one man can't bat on his own). There are 2 innings per side. You add up the scores of both innings. The one with the most runs, wins. If one team scores less than 200 runs in their 1st innings than the other side, the other team can make them bat again. You can also draw a match, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the scores are tied. You can be given out if you fail to get to the wicket within 2 minutes of the previous batsman being dismissed. Some fielding positions include "Cow Corner", "Silly Point" and "Fine Leg". There are a multitude of other eccentricities within the game but I'll just drip feed them to you slowly so as to avoid confusion. Clear🤔?

I learned ... something from this.
I played a game in a park once with some Indians I was with. Used a weighted tennis ball instead of dangerous rock ball normally used.
I was at bat for like 10 whole minutes. Racking up points without really knowing what I was doing. I decided to go for a "home run" and really swing for the fences instead of hitting grounders constantly, though that seemed to be working well.
Ball goes sailing high, guy catches it easily, I'm out. Stupid game
Yes, you're most definitely out if someone catches the ball. You can also be out if you're clean bowled, lbw (Leg before wicket), handling the ball or run out.
Just lame that I should have stuck with hitting grounders forever. I knew it was risky to go for the big swing, but dribbling grounders got boring
Yes that clears up quite a bit! Thank you 🙏
Good summary! 🏏
Hey bushrat. Saw you got sniped on the zap thing other day. Sucks. I'll give you a free GM
GM!!
Good morning and thats fine, just trying to get noticed on here, if you saw that i got sniped it worked all the same.

I swear this image of a Tatooine sunrise is my actual board.
That's a good one lol
Also how am I so shit lately?
You get what you aim for.
Did you know the word "sin" ... shoot, I already forgot the cool etymology I learned other day. Was related to shooting an arrow. Perhaps you know it and can jog my memory?
Yes. It means to miss the mark.
Thank you! It was a much deeper point the lecturer was making, about how aiming is done by being in a sort of flow state...think you'd like it.
I like flow states! So rare for me these days, but probably because I haven't mastered surrendering to my current state of being. I keep having delusions of worldly success instead of just going for this dad thing.
It means missing something, most of all. Lack. The need to economize resources. The need to fight and the inevitable end.
It doesn't mean guilt. That's Catholic.
Guilt is Universal? Sounds right.
But I really am unsure what people mean by Catholic guilt. Sin is missing the target. The target is that which is good. Thus the lack induced by missing it is a lack of some good. Who's fault is it that there is less good? Whoever did the aiming. That's me. I am guilty. That is the reality of sin.
But guilty doesn't mean culpable and it doesn't mean shame. It is hard to fault someone for missing a target that they were unaware of. If you thought the target was the tree 3m to the left of the target I can't fault you for hitting that instead, but there is still less good in the world as a result and it is still your fault.
This is why Catholics emphasize the duty to inform your conscience. By studying God we can learn what we should really be aiming for. You might phrase it in a secular way like "be a little less wrong every day"
This is also why God seemed so selfish at Mount Sinai. The first commandment he gave was. "I am the Lord your God you shall have no other gods besides me." This sounds like He is full of Himself. But what is really happening is that God knows that humans focus on, or aim, at the thing they worship. If you constantly think about money, that is were you will aim, that is effectively what you worship.
Aiming at God means aiming at the purest ideals you can conceive of. Perfect love, perfect truth, perfect justice, perfect beauty. Never being satisfied with our understanding means we can get ever closer to hitting the mark.
Shame is not something encouraged by the Catholic Church. That is the Devil discouraging you from aiming higher. Those are feelings that creep in when we know the target, but miss on purpose, because we value something other than God. Add an "o" for the atheists. We value something other than the Good.
The real things you will find we emphasize are forgiveness and mercy.
do you think a merciful God expects a creation that is finite in its fundamental nature to be without flaws? you know what aliasing is in sampling theory right? you always get errors when you sample, even at planck length, most likely.
the logic of the catholic doctrine of universal guilt is a perversion of this understanding. the latin word "sin" doesn't mean "missing the target" it means "without" and what we are without, is perfection, which is impossible in God's creation.
you don't need time, with perfection, to mature something to an always better state. so there would also be no free will to decline the invitation, and that's what it is.
you don't worship idols, because you are wasting your time, and your life is a precious gift
you don't steal, because you are wasting everyone's time, destroying wealth
you don't dishonor your parents, because they did the best with what they had, mostly, unless they are sickos, of course
you don't lie, because lying wastes your brain in endless new fabrications that can't be used to learn anything new
you don't kill for personal gain (murder) because it lowers the wealth of your society
all of the 10 commandments, and the mandate of Jesus and the fulfillment of the law, are not cruel punishment. they are for your own good.
the reason i can't abide catholic (and its forks) doctrine is precisely because it contradicts the whole God is Love thing. no, i don't need an intermediary. i am called to pray on my own account and to use the gifts i was given to help make the world a better place.
the heart of the average catholic is in the right place but the superficial details, the doctrines, are outright lies.
Catholic doctrine does not contradict "God is love" it is the fullness of it!
Of course God knows we can't be perfect! But He also knows that we can strive to be.
That reality leads to a logical contradiction.
-God is love.
-Thus God wants to be united in love with His creation.
- creation cannot be God this is not perfect
- nothing imperfect can be united with God
Catholicism is the story of God making up the difference for us, so we can be united to him. But as you said, it is our choice, which God respects.
The church exists, not to come between you and God, but to provide a highway for you and God to come together.
The visual I have is that people look at the church and see a bunch of stones blocking their way. "Look at all these stones" why erect a wall between me and God. But if they lift their eyes from their feet they will realize that it is not a wall, but a smooth road straight to God. All those rules are there to bear your weight for you, not to get in your way.
God is making up the difference for all of us, regardless of allegiance to some self-declared mediator governing all the local parishes. inspiration doesn't restrict itself to people with some particular set of beliefs. i am only saying that the logic is not, with all those ornaments the council of nicaea put on the original texts, and the active suppression of understanding of the nature of the holy host whose job it is to help us out of our mess, because otherwise the people might start to think that maybe those "mediators" are actually predators.
the local priests, and deacons, they are legit.
everything in rome is babylon.
Putting pin in this exchange. Too early/heady for now
Sats are for the cricket cricket, not your pathetic #Wordle attempt😜.
I figured. I get them how I can.
This was the output of a simple got prompt. Not bad, kinda cute
