Curved relative to what?

Edit: Nvm, I understood what you mean. But I think it's a pedantic take. They obviously mean it in the context of the surface of the sphere.

I didn't know handball was played by doing handstands.

But seriously, that's the first time i hear that argument. 99% of field sports are played on foot, that's a terrible criteria. Football is obviously called that because you use your feet (primarily) to manipulate the ball. In handball you manipulate the ball using your hands. In basketball, you put the ball in the basket. Name contains words that are directly related to the activity performed. Besides having no ball and not using feet (primarily) American football plays nothing like a football game. It's definitely a misnomer.

I don’t think you’re approaching this extremely serious argument with the necessary gravitas.

You hardly can fuck around with language more than calling a sport played primarily by hands, using a prolate spheroid "football", mate.

Judging by that video, Bottom is like if Mr. Bean talked more and lived with another Bean.

You mean "Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami"?

Thanks.

And from what I've seen, the entire cast of characters are psychopaths and terrible people, so it goes without saying.

To be fair, pretty much anybody who'd use Messi's name in context is gonna say "football" and never "soccer".

Explain the context, please.

P.S. I tried watching Always Sunny, but couldn't get past second season. I feel like being an American is a soft prerequisite.

– Look at that subtle ivory leather, the exquisite firmness of it. Oh my God, it even has custom stitching. [ sweats profusely ]

I gotta say, kudos to the photographer, Trump almost looks like a normal person on this one.

I don't remember if I tried Plex/Jellyfin, but I'll check vaapi thingy when I use it next time. In Firefox settings, right? It's still weird that it works fine in Windows Firefox, but not Linux Firefox.
