i feel like it could be an interesting insight in to the differences between the UK and the US. how differently we handle the boredom could have profound and need i even say profitable results

I have zero boredom - but i am so not leaving my house for at least the next two weeks. Too much work to do from home and too many art supplies, books and tv shows. :)
I also have more time to write and exercise and bike. No complaints. just dont wanna get sick or see anyone i love get sick.

Now I’m gonna leave this thread for Jose to moderate but drat this is wrong

come on the game goes on for like 10 seconds at a time.


Soccer has more continuous play.


and check out rugby sometime for that matter. American football players only run like a mile per game and only play an average of 11 minutes rugby players play for a full 80 minutes.

I think he means that American football constantly stops to move flags, gently caress around and get back in positions, so players spend very little time actually playing.

and its true.

Yeah there's no risk of virus drifting in on the breeze and it is less survivable in fresh air.

But let people out and apparently we all mob local parks, get too close, and start infecting each other.
