Nostr Web Client

Pro tip: if you want to make a post that gets zero engagement on nostr, talk about sports. The nerds on this protocol have zero interest in sports.

Not saying that’s good or bad (actually I am saying it’s bad), but people like what they like.

The remedy for this is I will post more about sports. As Steve Jobs said, don’t give people what they want, but what they don’t yet know they want. My entire timeline is what you don’t yet know you want.

Step into the future you autistic little bitches. You will be betting life-changing amounts of sats on NFL by the time I’m through with you.

My posts get zero engagement without this pro tip, but thanks

IMO, pro-sports are part of the problem (bread and circuses) regardless of whether the betting takes place in fiat or sats.

But I like the determination in your last paragraph!

Chris Liss 3mo ago

I think a lot of people on nostr agree with you, but you are mistaken. Sports is the last bastion of meritocracy in society where excellence and greatness are rewarded. In almost all other human endeavors politics and marketing plays a huge part, but in sports, it’s about greatness, and the price for greatness is devotion to craft at a level people in other domains could only dream of.

halalmoney 3mo ago

Fair counter! A great athlete may inspire people to exercise.

Still not sure about the gambling angle.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

That was (mostly) joking!

Dissident Sound 3mo ago

except that in America the only sports shown on TV are the ones in which Niggers win

90% of medals in Olympics go to Whites but turn on the TV and it's basketball and american football all day because that's what niggers are good at

that's not meritocracy

Prince Aleph 3mo ago

Yes - and the moulignon does not even come in second. East Asians are the runner ups in quantity of Olympic medals won.

Dissident Sound 3mo ago

Yep. Blacks are only good at Running, Jumping and Throwing objects. Tiger Woods is Asian. Lewis Hamilton's mother is white ( just like Obama's mother is white )

blacks claim the achievements of anybody with a single drop of black blood. no Asians claim achievements of Tiger woods ( even though he is mostly Asian ) and no whites claim achievements of Obama who is genetically half white and raised by white grandparents, making him more than 50% white.

Serena Williams is one of the very few black athletes successful outside of designated black sports ... and her husband is white as snow.

Race mixing is a good thing when done right. I support Serena Williams or Candace Owens having white husbands. Truly exceptional blacks should be allowed to contribute their DNA to the human race, which doesn't change the fact that Blacks are animals.

Strong words Mr. Liss but if a father and a step father weren’t able to beat football into me your fancy talkin isn’t gonna do it either. But that first sentence in the last par. Had me cracking up. It’s so aggressive lol.

Brunswick 3mo ago

The problem with football is the object isn't self explanatory.

Soccer, Hockey, golf, basketball are all very simple: THROW BALL IN HOLE.

Baseball is a little more complicated: HIT BALL AND RUN TO SAFE SQUARE.

Football is not like any of these because it involves physical contact, and "downs" and "rushing" and "passing" and clocks... But in the end the point of the game is: CARRY BALL PAST OTHER GUYS

Once I realized this in my 30s, I could actually tolerate the game enough to figure the rest of it out and begin enjoying it.

I still don't watch sports unless my kids are playing.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

football is like war — it’s about capturing terrritory.

mrclownworld 3mo ago

lol that last paragraph confirming what the nerds sensed - there’s always a threat behind sports lol

YODL 3mo ago

If you have legit picks during the season you feel strongly about, I'd make some wagers. Will be keeping an eye out

Chris Liss 3mo ago

Ha, will let you know, but taking betting tips is usually a good way to separate from your sats! Gotta DYOR!

YODL 3mo ago

Reading the post will be the research... and I'll cross refeeence with my sports buddies. Guaranteed profits

vinney...axkl 3mo ago

nah. just tell us. the "research" will be worthless

Bahahaha LFG 🔥

You probably know by now but I’m a huge New England sports fan. And I am fully prepared to be disappointed in my New England patriots 🫡

Also hot take but American football is the closest analogous sport to chess

NFL is one of the faggiest sports out there so this post makes complete sense

Rugby in combat gear and loads of ad breaks. Nice.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

The ads suck, can’t defend that, but it’s way faster and more violent than rugby.

inpc 3mo ago

It’s a fine line between sport and invading the Middle East that’s for sure.

vinney...axkl 3mo ago

what team should i be watching today?

Chris Liss 3mo ago

Depends -- Raiders-Patriots have some great, exciting rookie backs I want to see, but Bills-Ravens (night game) are the best teams. I have them on all at once, probably will focus on the Giants as that’s my team.

Johano 3mo ago

Looking forward to watching my Lions 💙🩶

vinney...axkl 3mo ago

i'm in new england and every other maniac around here is crazy about the patriots. can't hurt i guess

billybigpotatoes 3mo ago

I love playing sport, but I hate watching sport as a spectator. But if I have to watch sports, then I'll put a bet on to make it interesting.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

gotta have some skin in the game (or emotional attachment), it’s true

DagzTagz 3mo ago

This is strange because it does not seem to translate in real life… so many athletes, including NFL players that I know who are giant protocol nerds

Marc 3mo ago

I like to ride my bike, but would rather stab my eyes out with a fork than watch the Tour de France. What's so bad about that?

Sports, like Hollywood and shitcoins, are distractions. Bread and circus for the sheep.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

“Bread and circus” — mantra of the nostr herd.

db 3mo ago

Yes, generally speaking, #nostr and #bitcoin is an awakening that exposes the bread and circus smoke and mirrors distraction that is manufactured to keep the masses ignorant. An enlightenment journey of truth, freedom and sovereignty.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

Yes, I am familiar with the nostr and BTC platitudes

db 3mo ago

If the nostr and ₿ ethos are cliché to you, I’m not sure what to say. We hold different values. It takes all kinds. ✌️

In college, Philosophy 101 caused a crisis of faith that led to me stepping back from the religious tradition in which my family had raised me.

I explicitly remember thinking to myself that I needed to find SOME way of keeping myself distracted from “the big questions” or else those big questions would constantly weigh upon my mind.

So, I picked up fantasy sports. There was always a pro sport going on that I could focus upon instead of wrestling with questions I didn’t know how to deal with.

After the events of 9/12/2018, my focus on professional and fantasy sports dissipated like a fart in the wind. Now I intentionally focus upon those “big questions” and I am finding answers.

That's too bad. Sports are the 21st Century gladiator. Individuals who work their asses off to become the best. People who take risks.. People who lose sometimes because of the risks they take. Maybe not watching sports is because the idea of an individual excelling in something goes against the hive mentality of Communism. Maybe we should all realize those athletes are the ones to emulate. Work hard and you'll succeed and make society a better place at the same time.

Great, the only reason I made this npub is to post about sports/fitness 😂

Posted something similar today. Not sure why incels who still live in their parent’s basement hate sports so much. Maybe they got dominated during PE in school haha

Cheering for other men to run around in spandex while enthusiastically slapping each other's butts is gay.

I'm a straight man, so it doesn't interest me.

But to each his own.

Chris Liss 3mo ago

To anyone who appreciates the NFL, that framing is preposterous. You can deconstruct ANY activity to make it seem absurd.

Robert Allen 3mo ago

Perhaps, but some activities are easier targets. 😅
