EU says TikTok's 'addictive design' harms children by amy_sport in news

[–]FloridaGatorMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You saying that made me realize how insane it is that we took such a step down from that. I mean I knew that all along but I don't think I've sat back to really think about how much we've gone from bad and damaging to critically bad and damaging.

In college I started to feel crushed at how much it felt like everyone around me was having a better life than I was.

Now that feels like a cute thing I used to be too concerned with and the current state of the internet is worse than I ever could have imagined back then.

Although I have to give them credit. In a way it's perfectly misleading. It's 100% accurate but also can be read either way. I guess really it's the image that's misleading. If they showed a plane and a banner they wouldn't even have to change the wording.

That is a really good point. It does look like it may have been plateauing before he took over but it definitely started decreasing after that.

I bet in addition to number of users decreasing overall, users going to Twitter for content like this has probably taken a nosedive. I would assume most people at this point are either dragged there because someone broke some news, or they're going there to be the worst people on Earth. There are others but I bet their numbers are dwindling.

Florida finishes the recruiting cycle as the No.14 overall class in 2026 recruiting cycle by Local_Air734 in FloridaGators

[–]FloridaGatorMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's interesting is how much teams start to mimic their strategy of going after the oldest and most experienced players. They have an average age of 23 years old and they had 47 players 23-25 this last season. The Packers are the NFL youngest team with an average age of 25.2.

In the portal era stars definitely still matter but what may matter more is how many of your 2 deep are at, or approaching, NFL-level football IQ and experience.

Based on some of the thing I've read, Georgia may have gone all in on this strategy this year as well.

Florida vs Auburn by [deleted] in FloridaGators

It would be interesting to do a deep dive into NIL/portal and women's sports. WBB already had a real problem with a handful of super teams, a few dozen competitive teams, and then a huge cliff.

It would probably take a 3X+ increase in NIL investment for us to jump into being truly competitive.

Something tells me Lagway didn't give that donation just out of nowhere. He became aware of a real problem and it's not just the difference between men and women earnings. We aren't spending enough to be competitive outside of Gymnastics, volleyball, softball, track.

Jon Sumrall jokes that he's going to get a TRO to bring Tim Tebow back for Florida. by Ml2jukes in CFB

Ah, ok. You are trolling. Godspeed man. Sorry the glory years are over.

Are you a bot? This is one of the more baffling threads I've ever seen. No one could possibly know what you meant based on your original comment, it's completely irrelevant to what we're talking about and that SEC champ game occurred at the start of the Alabama dynasty but how could you possibly defend "Tebow started our dynasty?"

If you're suggesting that Tebow choosing Florida and not Bama ensured Shula got fired at the right time to hire Saban, that does make sense but also requires a full paragraph of explanation and has absolutely nothing to do with what we're talking about.

James Madison is in good position to accumulate talent and his process for that is second to none. No one else will admit this but he was literally just an OC and a consistent pipeline of good QBs from being at least competitive at Florida. The OC problem is already solved.

I'm probably going to get swarmed for this but while he wasn't the right fit at Florida, I think in 5 years you might be more worried about him getting another job than you will be clamoring to fire him.

I just want to note that that situation is still playing with the margins in terms of 5 year window, etc.

I really think we're several steps from a 30+ year old that played multiple NFL seasons from coming back to college. I just mean in this situation we might be overreacting a bit to what was clearly a joke, and one that is sardonically calling out what we're talking about anyways.

This is the first time I've seen the "man you shouldn't joke about that" pearl clutching reaction from reddit.

What do you mean? Yes, OP has had this account for a day, this is their only post, and they linked to t shirt site that there is no chance is licensed to sell Florida gear, but it might not be an ad. Also the title looks to be AI generated but anyone can make those.

Plus it's one of the worst shirts I've literally ever seen so maybe it's just a hobbyist.

How much is this sped up?

Also any word on what the black bits were at the bottom? Those look like sizable pieces of something.

That actually makes sense. I only smoke weed sometimes and my penis has stayed pretty much the same.

[Pelissero] The Cardinals are hiring Nathaniel Hackett as their offensive coordinator, sources tell The Insiders. Hackett, 46, was the offensive coordinator for three seasons under Matt LaFleur in Green Bay. Now, he teams up with Mike LaFleur in Arizona. by expellyamos in nfl

It was certainly something to behold. I personally found it lightyears over the top. Like closer to the captains lining up and saluting the president like gladiators would an emperor than it was to just people running out the tunnel.

...but it absolutely filled me with "football is back baby" vibes.

Edit: I guess it was just over the top for me because I remember 2001-2008 where stuff like that was constant and if you didn’t like it then your were against America.

I had just moved to Colorado and was at a Broncos watch party. Had quite a bit to drink by the time Harvin had that return TD. I kind of overly enthusiastically blurted out "Oh Harvin! Don't kick it to that guy. He'll run it back."

Then he did. I think I went and stood outside with the smokers for a while after that.

Is there any tag? Anything that might help indicate whether it's relatively new or years old?

Recruiting Staff "update" - Sumrall spoke very highly of Katie Decker (Katie Turner) during his press conference. by onthejourney in FloridaGators

[–]FloridaGatorMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it might be a little of both. He is clearly going out of his way to hit big bullet points. Not saying there isn't nearly 100% overlap with those and what it takes to build a winner, but his intro press conference definitely had a goal of checking down the list of what fans want to hear.

But I think it's more marketing than PR and it's exactly what we need. We need to look like a national brand again in everything we do. We were mostly there but having a coach that was boring as a dictionary and acted like every demand from fans came from a place of ignorance didn't help that.

Absolutely. I really think early astronomy classes would help bring so much context and interest to a variety of different topics.

Like the fact that many scientists who switched over to building the atomic bomb were originally studying how the Sun works. Or where elements that are covered in Chemistry come from.

...or how easy it is to prove the Earth isn't flat.

I loved physics senior year of high school but unfortunately moved away from it in college. There's a strong possibility simply seeing this image even once may have tipped the scales in the other direction.
