If I hear anyone else ask me if I’m going to “watch the match”, I’m going to lose it. No, I won’t watch that extremely boring snooze fest of a sport played by overpaid divas in a terrible country, organized by the most corrupt organization on earth, even if it supposedly “brings people together”.

Because it doesn’t. It divides people, and it won’t change anyone’s life for the better, ever. Football is crap.

@thelinuxEXP Computers are a bit crap too, especially when used to make lofty judgments about millions of peoples tastes.

Not a fan of Qatar, but football is the glue that keeps many peoples lives together, rich and poor alike.

@blabberlicious It’s not a glue for anything. It divides people into camps, teams, countries. Once it’s over, it has 0 impact on anyone’s lives. It’s an illusion, and I wish people stopped selling it as something magical that brings people together. If that was true, the world wouldn’t be this shitty.

@thelinuxEXP As you like. We all live illusory lives, in some ways. You could say the exact same thing about the pointlessness of art, literature, and throwing random shade on peoples enjoyment of something you don't like.

I'm off to watch the match with my friends. Cheerio!

@blabberlicious Have fun!
@thelinuxEXP And you, doing whatever floats your boat 👍
