With athletes retiring at the top of their game due to CTE concerns, then yes, it is a very real issue.
My wife wouldn't let my kids play Pop Warner due to injury concerns and such. I see Cal Poly football players almost every day walking around since I work close to the stadium and football offices, and see a lot of casts and walking boots.

The current decade we're in though is a complete wash and waste for music though.
IMNSHO, the "diversification of metal to pink and grunge and on and on" = "complete wash and waste for music"

Onions (grilled), mustard, catsup (for Merkin), jalapenos, pickle relish, ancient kraut on a theater hotdog of dubious space/time origin. This is America for fuck's sake! Some things need an optimized toxicity in order to be right!!!

But I love scones, so go figure. Especially with clotted cream and jam.
I agree, in general. Scones >>>>> biscuits.
However, a biscuit as the 'base' for a strawberry shortcake cannot be beat - scones just don't do it.
Any sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.

I've eaten at famously good places all over the south, where people go nuts for the biscuits, and I don't like them there, either.
The only biscuits I've ever liked were ones I've made from an Anson Mills recipe, using a flour type and ingredients that used to be traditional but died with the Great Depression.
Any Italian restaurant that uses cream in its carbonara should be subject to deportation.

Bagels are evil. Rather have two glasses of claret.

I lived there for a year prior to the Tucson move. Went to three or four of the legendary bagel places. As you say, they were fine. Wanted to be blown away, just wasn’t. Let me double down here—New York pizza? Also . . . fine.

I grew up in NY (Westchester). Lived a lot of places since. Haven’t had bagels, pizza, or patty melts better anywhere else.

I always found the best places for things like bagels or pizza by asking some guy or girl from the neighborhood. They’ll point you to the place where the bagels are so damn fresh and it’s a sin to toast them.

Yeah the hyped up legendary places usually are a disappointment. Places in Tucson like El Charro are not worth the trip, but the hole in the wall south side ghetto taco shop is worth it.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.
I had pizza all over town, holes in the wall included. It’s the only affordable meal in NYC. It was fine, no complaints.
I’ve had Guinness in Ireland. That is really something that lives up to the hype. Way better than whatever it is they send over to us. I’ve had Arabic food in Yemen, Indian food in India. These are things that are far better than you can imagine until you experience them. New York pizza and bagels will fill your belly in a satisfactory fashion and that’s about it.
After a couple of mornings eating bacon, egg, & cheese sammies on everything bagels from Bo’s in Harlem, my very hard to impress wife wrote an email practically begging the owners to start shipping them overnight to us poor deprived folks in the Midwest and was pretty heartbroken when they politely declined.
There’s something more there than just a belly full of carbs...

I’m sure there are great bagel joints in NYC. But I can find a great Mexican restaurant in Dubai (as unbelievable as that sounds) . . . that doesn’t make Dubai the home of great Mexican food. To me, having to search the City for bagels that are so much better than everybody else’s bagels invalidates the notion that New York bagels are better.

That makes no sense to me.
We picked the closest bagel joint with seating to where we were staying. The bagels there were worlds better than anything in Chicago, LA, Arizona, or anywhere else I’ve lived. No search needed. NYC wins.
