    OH GOD. Don't even get me started on this movie.

    My teacher made us watch this in fucking Statistics class. STATISTICS CLASS and we weren't even getting paid to watch this atrocity. In fact, my parents were paying school taxes so we could watch this. D:

    I could almost see this making sense if it were to show that fallacy about ignoring failures and putting successes up on a pedestal

    The only thing my teacher said before and after the movie? "WATCH THIS. IT WORKS AND YOU'LL THANK ME LATER"

    Edit: Oh and then after class she silently handed out photocopied pages of the book.

    this is from pages ago, but

    IN A STATISTICS CLASS?! god dammit.

    There's a big paradox with that thing. Why didn't the creator just visualize everyone believing it?

    I love it when shit like that happens.

    Although most of the time it happens because last month they charged you way more than they should have done.

    Home Depot sent us the wrong dishwasher. They can't even find the one we got in their database.

    They're going to get the right one to us, but this is trippy.

    so as a fan you just have to decide how much you care what other fans think

    well it's partially because you kind of make an emotional investment in a team and the payoff for watching them suck for a bunch of years is that when/if they do win, it's that much better

    where if you jump from team to team and root only for the ones that win every year, it's not as exciting

    hell, look at the atlanta braves, they won their division so many times in a row that their fans stopped even showing up for playoff games

    I'm a Panthers fan because of Madden 95!

    This is basically why I was a fan of the 49'ers for a while. I don't really watch football anymore though.

    Also I don't think I could look at an authority figure the same way again if I found out they truly believed in the Secret.

    I can't even really accept it as some kind of a faith thing. Because a lot of them believe it is firmly grounded in science and wuhghdkjl;

    The Secret to Teen Power makes the knowledge of the law of attraction accessible and relevant to today’s teens.

    oh god

    anything made "relevant to today's teens" will always be embarrassingly terrible

    I can only imagine what it's like when the starting material is so bad already

    uh...what?

    no, I want the team I root for to do well and I'm rooting for them to do so

    and if I'm not thinking I'm going to feel some excitement or any goddamned emotion at all watching them, then what's exactly the point here?

    being a broncos fan where I live sucks. they're never on tv, you can't get any coverage of them unless they're going like 13-0 or something, and in addition to that, they've been mediocre to terrible for like ten years

    but then shit like week one happens, and something ridiculous like brandon stokely catching a deflection to pull off a bullshit win isn't just some crazy NFL play, it's a crazy NFL play that a guy on my team just made and then it's hilarious and awesome and whatever, man, I don't even know why I bothered typing this post because the reason anybody cheers for something like a football team is fucking stupid and irrational

    I mean I basically root for the Cubs because my dad told me to, and it's somehow worse that I cheer for the broncos because I liked that they beat my fifth-grade teacher's favorite team? pfffffffffffffffffffft

    I tend to just root for local teams

    unfortunately that makes my team in my favorite sport The Rams

    but hey, we still have The Cardinals!

    who, in spite of their award-winningly awful performance in the play-offs this year, are still a great team
