    Yeah I agree. Speaking of, was at a recent grilling thing, and a guy is there and p sure he's also into the damn soccer team and works for Apple (not retail) just to give you an idea, and it's last weekend so fire works are a topic and this guy shows me what Taiwan did with Taipei 101 for the lunar new year...

    "Hey did you see the big-ass light shows that the mainland did for the 100th anniversary of the CPC"

    He had not, but said he would check it out.

        No but they both like the new soccer team and that's enough to associate them in my mind. Soccer is the game of white-collar tech and other PMC-types; I mean they built the stadium where most of the tech companies' offices are. It's not really there for most of Austin, IMO; it's there for the Silicon Valley transplants.

          Ah, american soccer would be more “pmc” sport, gotcha.

          Tbh, I understand frustration, people have weird quirks, it’s like search for one true leftist :meow-cactus:
