Guy, go and watch the best of Australian Rules footy.
Seriously, just get some beverages and watch a whole season of a sport you don't know and try to work out the rules as you pick a team to follow.
Aussie Rules is a dead-set beut game, with lots of the things you like about basketball. There is high mobility with an emphasis on ball handling skills and teamwork.
Start here.

Pick and choose chronological games from this play list.
For bonus points get a decent aussie meat pie and eat it with tomato sauce. Make yourself some meat pies for the match. You can expand your culinary horizons at the same time you detox from b-ball.
I disagree.
We should just go the other way and allow Ficus trees or other botanical specimens to hold office.
At least we can be honest that they are a useless puppet.
CDPR will burn to the ground before they admit they were wrong.
It was alternatively universe Bashir and alternative universe Cardassian.
The producers wanted head-pats for making a beloved character into a cocksucking faggot WHILE having plausible deniability.
Remember, the target audience for this series is tweens. Kids under twelve.
You can keep Lower Decks. I hope you two are very happy together.
Dom, some days you are slightly less of a massive faggot.
Can Captain Trumpet solidify his position as Clown In Chief? Will the Fantabulous Instigation Chuckleheads discover who has been diverting all the jellybeans from the factory? Will Senile McSmiley start Clown War IiI before he moves to the retirement home? Will anyone ever hear from Camel-Ha-Ha-Ha again?
These and other exciting questions will be answered on the next thrilling episode of...
Clownworld!
The term "Racism" was invented by fascists in the 1928 to refer to the doctrine of racial supremacy.
The modern concept of racism was literally invented by Socialists.
Guy, I take it that you've never worked in the courts. You certainly haven't worked in domestic violence court.
As soon as "I was drunk" or "I was on drugs" removes responsibility, then suddenly everyone gets off, because the overlap between criminals and addicts is huge.
There is a legal concept called Diminished Responsibility. It has a long history.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/diminished-responsibility
Almost no legal jurisdiction accepts the defense.
I'll give you an example. In central Australia there are Australian Aboriginal communities where addiction is rife. People drink themselves unconscious every time they have access to alcohol.
The rate of child sexual abuse and family violence is the highest in the western world, per capita.
Now, you tell me. Should a man who had an blood alcohol content high enough to kill most men be responsible for raping his daughter? Or should he receive no sentence or a reduced sentence?
This is not an academic question. Cases like this happen fairly regularly.
Regardless of your answer, I'm done. Your combination of utter certainty and willful ignorance makes you hard to like.
Have a nice day.
No, I take 100% responsibility for all my actions. Drunk, sober or otherwise.
Strangely enough, I haven't killed any babies.
Naw. The best Hulk Hogan cameo is in the Muppets Gonzo Movie.
I do not subscribe to the doctrine of diminished responsibility.
If you take the drugs, that is your decision. Everything that follows that decision is your responsibility.
Women who get drunk and bash their husbands with a wrench are evil.
Stop infantilizing drug addicts etc.
Saint Floyd had a history of eating his stash so as to be diverted to hospital rather than jail for processing and charges.
He knew very well that respiratory distress ("I can't breathe") is a giant fucking red flag that causes cops to call an ambulance.
It worked really, really well. Saint Floyd had avoided arrest at least once with this tactic. It caused the rookie cops arresting him to stop putting him into the squad car and taking him to the station where there is a medical officer and Naloxone and instead follow SOP which was to call for an ambulance.
The ambulance was stopped because there was an angry mob waiting at the scene.
Remember, Blackstone's Formulation came about as an alternative to what had gone before; which was that accusations had the same weight as evidence.
Trial by Ordeal, being put to The Question, etc. All assumed that accusations were not made without evidence, and the whole process of inquiry was a political decision.
Someone has accused you of being a witch! Let's tie you up with weights and see if you drown!
Blackstone's Formulation made a declaration as to what kind of society we should strive for, where trials are based on evidence and courts strive for justice rather than political expediency.
Well, it turns out that the Neo Marxists amongst us would greatly prefer that they were in charge, and they got to declare who was guilty of what at their whim.
Not tax fraud. Chauvin failed to submit tax returns, for exactly the reason you suggest.
Chauvin was undoubtedly on the take, and he didn't submit tax returns to avoid leaving his bribes undeclared income. If you just don't file taxes, they can get you for a small fine. If you actually lie, you can do prison time.
I guess after the pardon the President can unstab him too! Then give him his job back!
Wait until you find out what % of African American ladies have STIs!
The point is that Harry didn't seek permission. He didn't think it was desirable.
You are right. Charles and Diana should have been better parents, especially Charles.
Like it or not, the Royal Family are representatives of their nation. Everything they do reflects on their people.
Charles has often been a weak little bitch, and so is Harry.
Correct in every particular.
Now do Anthem.
Are you joking? The Royals speak of family matters as "The Firm", and have handlers since high school to vet their relationships, specifically to keep them out of trouble.
Elizabeth's grandsons absolutely should have sought her permission to pursue relationships. I am fairly sure that William did, though indirectly.
I would argue that in general Americans don't see that political power comes with any responsibility at all. JFK was a celebrity first (who's family bought him votes) and a president a long way second.
Trump ran for president because he felt that he had a responsibility to make things better. He has been very transparent about it. He has been the only president who lost money since (probably) Raegan.
Trump is a freak of nature, and until very recently half the country hates his guts for not being owned by the political establishment.
Then jump head-first into the enemy combat scaling. The final encounters are easier as a brand new character with junk gear than they are with top-tear equipment and skills.
Enjoy.
If your game actually ever intends to make money, then it should stop sucking way, way before it looks nice.
First should come the pre-production, in which (among other things) the core gameplay loops should be defined, at least on paper.
Then, after greenlight, there should be several expansions of staff numbers, with the biggest being during testing / bugfixes.
If you can't get the core game play right before testing, then you have utterly, utterly fucked up and your budget is gone.
Nope. It is a loyalty test for true believers. Toe the line or be excommunicated. The party commissars will be happy to struggle those that are willing to reform rather than die be cast out.
So start a tradition to share with your son. Plan a trip to Melbourne to watch a live game.
Or go back to watching clowns kneel while the team owners continue to take the piss
Up to you. But you have choices
Do you know that the USA cricket and rugby teams are world class?
