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.
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.
basically other sports fans will look down on you if you're not loyal enough to a team even if they suck
just like gamers will look down on someone if they don't like a classic game, or like it for "the wrong reasons"
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

at that point what are you even rooting for? Cause it's not the team.

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

It was a bill, in the mail.
Shigeru Miyamoto has said on a few occasions he thought DK Country sucked

You seem like you would prefer a different breakfast cereal at any rate.
Actually I prefer regular cheerios.
I just cover them in sugar myself.
one time I got a check in the mail from the cable company, instead of a bill
it was for $150
I think something wrong happened but I cashed that fucker immediately
this is from pages ago, but
IN A STATISTICS CLASS?! god dammit.
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.
I wasn't even visualizing it!

more proof the secret works!
wait
you were actively wishing for this not to happen, right?
clearly you wanted it more
good job! you have won at the secret!
Rhonda Byrne is a best-selling author, but can she see why kids love Cinnamin Toast Crunch?
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 worst
it just makes me so angry
Because somewhere a guy visualized having a delicious cinnamon based cereal that kids love.
at that point what are you even rooting for? Cause it's not the team.
I love this.
Dichotomy, let me tell you about a man named Xenu.
but do you know about
The Secret
To
TEEN
POWER?
visualizing touching boobs
if indeed he could be called a man
"OH GOD MOM!?"
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
he also once said that video games about cars with guns was a dumb idea
twisted metal says otherwise
i never could get into twisted metal
i tried so hard even
uh...what?

welp, shigeru miyamoto is fucking stupid.
I was agreeing with you dangit
it's really one of those things that's either going to click for you right away or it just won't ever
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
