It feels like every time the league hits a new milestone, my wallet takes a massive hit just to keep up. I love the game, but the barrier to entry for following a team is creeping up way too fast. Does anyone else feel like the "fan experience" is becoming a luxury item?

Look, I’ll forgive her whenever I feel like seeing her stupid face again in three months, but once I do, she’s definitely going to have to listen to what I have to say.

Anyway, I don't think you're going to deal with any lasting fallout from it.

It wasn't even about being malicious; she’s just plain, staggeringly stupid, and honestly, this isn't even the first time she's gone overboard like this.
I mean, it’s not like I’m in excruciating agony right now, but it definitely hurts when you press it, and I can feel this throbbing, pulsing sensation radiating through my face—just this constant, tight pounding that keeps popping up in waves. And yeah, assuming luck is on my side, nothing catastrophic is going to happen. But I’ve had friends grab me before and leave me covered in these green, yellow, and purple bruises, like five-centimeter blotches scattered all over, and trust me, nobody is enjoying that. Yesterday was just way too much, and frankly, this is officially the last time I let anyone try to "show me affection" in such a clumsy, painful way. I get this sudden, white-hot flash of rage when someone tries to force pain on me and won't let go while my skin is literally sizzling under their grip. I’m telling you, one of these days, I might actually lose it and deck someone right in the teeth. It takes a lot to really push my buttons, but right now, I’ve lost my cool and I'm genuinely pissed because I cannot wrap my head around how some total morons can be so incredibly oblivious and insensitive. They cross lines without even realizing it, inflicting pain that isn't just unpleasant—it can actually be physically harmful. Don't get me wrong, I know girls who will give you a huge hug or a playful squeeze or a little pinch out of pure love, but even then, they have the common sense to realize they could actually hurt you, and if they do go too far, they learn where the boundary is. This idiot clearly wouldn't listen to reason... maybe a kick to the head is the only language she understands. I can't even remember the last time I got this worked up, though it's happened before because of her. It's always that same tired garbage: "Oh, I'm a girl and you're a guy, so I can basically beat you up and you shouldn't care, don't be such a wimp." Like, seriously? JUST F*** OFF!

Profučako, this is your golden ticket to go all out and just blow past the finish line.😛

Oh, come on now, quit the whining—it’s not like you’re some total fragile little snowflake. The real issue here is clearly just that you don't vibe with the lady in question. Just chill out, find an older woman you actually like to pamper you and give you all that affection you're craving, and then everything will be five stars again.😍

Every single "older woman" I've ever encountered either gives me the cold shoulder, tries to mess with my head, or straight-up abuses me.
I'm always the one stepping up and playing the hero when things get messy, but the second I need someone to have my back, nobody's around.

stormyheron4 said:Is she actually that strong, or are you just being sensitive? I’ve never heard of some woman pinching someone’s cheek so hard that their whole face goes numb afterward.

Look, if part of your face goes numb, does that mean you're being overly sensitive, or does it mean you just underwent some legitimate physical trauma? Honestly, anyone with a standard nervous system would be feeling numbness after being grabbed and yanked like that; we're all pretty much built the same way, so let's not jump straight to me being "too sensitive."
Just wrap your head around the physics of it—imagine someone suddenly lunging at you, grabbing your face with two fingers, and using every ounce of their strength to wrench your skin toward them without letting go. Trust me, it hurts like hell, and in that exact moment, your lizard brain is screaming at you to knock every single one of their teeth out just to stop the pain. And it doesn't stop there; the throbbing continues, followed by this weird numbness where you can't even feel your own face for a while. Seriously... some people clearly have zero concept of boundaries and don't grasp the massive gap between a playful "pinch" and actual physical assault. And I'll say it again regarding that individual—they are a total moron. I doubt I'll ever see them again if ☕

In that scenario, they’d just pin some violent or sexual misconduct charge on me and let the media circus tear my life apart. I'd be hunted down by every news outlet in the country like some kind of rabid animal until there was nothing left of me.

Look, just run all the tests and see for yourself, because honestly, the results could be anything from absolutely nothing to something major. And hey, don't go spiraling over my mention of HIV—everything listed out there is just a symptom of the disease, so I’m basically just talking out of my ass.
On a different note, let's talk about this six-hour sleep thing you mentioned. I remember back when I was pulling some brutal shifts at a construction site for about three weeks straight; I’d try to crash before 9 PM just so I could drag myself out of bed by 4 AM, and even though I felt "rested" in the moment, my body started throwing a total tantrum. That unsustainable rhythm and those ten-hour days—including Saturdays—really messed me up. It manifested as this constant, jittery nervousness running through my system, and my vision actually went blurry and fuzzy for those three weeks. It wasn't until I finally got some decent sleep (well, right after I quit that job) that my sight cleared up and everything felt normal again.
What I'm getting at is... you really ought to be sleeping more. In my opinion, six hours a day just isn't cutting it; that chronic fatigue builds up under the surface, and eventually, your body starts reacting to the exhaustion even if you don't subjectively feel tired. I’d suggest trying to squeeze in a nap for an hour or two during the afternoon, or maybe just heading to bed earlier a couple of times a week to get a solid eight hours in. Give it a shot and see if things start looking up. Just a suggestion.

I’m starting this thread because of some absolute nonsense that went down yesterday. Some total airhead grabbed me by the cheek so hard she wouldn't let go, and I honestly came pretty close to decking her right in the face just to get her off me. Once I finally managed to shake her off, my face was absolutely throbbing, and a few minutes later, everything just went numb for a bit. It still hurts today, though thankfully it's just a "normal" kind of ache. Look, we can joke around and play-fight all day, but this wasn't playing—it was an assault. Thinking back on it now, I swear I’d love to rip those fingers off some mindless, insensitive idiot. I am beyond livid.
Anyway, what I really want to know is how much damage can a pinch like that actually do? Is there any real risk of messing up the facial nerve?
And what about pinching other parts of the body where you end up covered in bruises? Is there any chance of something dangerous like blood clots happening from that?

P.S.
What is wrong with some women? Do they seriously think men's skin is made of rubber or a heavy bag at a boxing gym??? You people need to realize that even with those thin, weak, little fingers of yours, you can actually maim someone... for crying out loud. 😠

Honestly, you’re sounding like you’ve got all the classic symptoms of HIV here 🙂
But hey, let's be real—it's probably not that! It’s way more likely just some kind of anemia. If you're one of those hardcore vegetarians or something, then honestly, it wouldn't even be a surprise. Maybe you just need to get off the couch more, hit the gym, eat some actual decent food, etc. Or maybe you're just chronically sleep-deprived. There are a million things it could be.
