  • I tried to be the good guy last year. I paid for Sunday ticket so I could watch all the games. Then the playoffs come, and they put a fucking playoff game on fucking Peacock that was exclusive to Peacock. NBC wouldn’t even air it on the local affiliate. The playoffs have always been on network TV to get maximum viewing, and now they put it behind a walled garden on the worst streaming service. Fuck them. I cancelled my Sunday Ticket and will never give them another dime. I know /knew how to pirate, but again, I was trying to follow the rules, and they fucked me. Now it’s back to the seven seas.





  • My grandpa’s name was Larry. I had always assumed it was short for Lawrence. I just found out recently like 8 years after he died that it wasn’t even short for that. Apparently my illiterate great grandparents wanted to name him Larrington (which I’m 90% sure isn’t even a first name in the lexicon). Apparently my great grandmother wanted him to grow up to be Larrington the Lawyer. My guess is that was a name of a local law firm she had heard of something because it definitely sounds like a surname that you would hear on a law office advert, (i.e. call Larrington and Mitchell). Turns out they couldn’t spell Larrington and just decided to name him Larry for short. So his fucking birth certificate has a nickname on it for a name he wasn’t even born as. My mind was fucking blown hearing this.
