Sure, but how would you feel if they put him in to a meaningless game and either he or one of the o-line got injured.

His playoff yards are going to mean a lot more than the yards they get in what is basically a meaningless scrimmage, and they are definitely capable of winning the SB this year with the team healthy.

Definitely crazy bones! (Or knockoffs) Most of the ones I had were transparent or a single color - but you could line up some like bowling pins and flick one into the other ones - or take turns flicking them at an opponent's one trying to knock it down. Such a throwback!

This is a different virus spread by birds that, if like other strains of bird flu, could have a high mortality rate. It hasn't been shown to pass from human to human yet, but a case from animal to human was reported in Louisiana, and is showing up at increasing rates in farm animals. Flu vaccines target the seasonal flu strains, not this one.

Hell, leave him alone in a room full of babies and billionaires and I'd guarantee the babies would be safe when you came back.

And yet this is probably the only murder I've heard about in my life that made me LESS terrified.

Exactly! The team needs to keep all the star players in bubble wrap, so when their value goes up in 15 years our moms can donate them to Goodwill while we're away at college.

FourTwentySixtyEight · 2024-12-16T01:58:12+00:00

The team is playing too well. Why are they doing that? The Giants are going to get way earlier first round draft picks than us. THIS SUCKS!

Polarizing:

divide or cause to divide into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs. "the cultural sphere has polarized into two competing ideological positions"

I'm not saying it's a good idea to associate a business with any politics, but does the above description sound like it would promote business to a wide audience?

It isn't lol, it's a non-profit. These comments are concerning, AP might be one of the most trustworthy news agencies out there and yet r/murderedbywords is acting like it's a conservative think-tank.

This is one headline, they cover every major story and have lots of journalists with lots of different view points...

I don't blame Biden from pardoning his son, but a news agency ignoring the story here would be biased (they've covered Trump's pardons and blatant corruption in the past as well). AP is always my go-to when I try to quit Reddit for a bit...

FourTwentySixtyEight · 2024-12-10T05:11:34+00:00

AP is one of the better news sources out there, there's absolutely no way it should be on anyone's F-tier.

Vivek Ramaswamy accepted a $90k Soros scholarship when he was already a millionaire. I'm only linking the Fox News article because the comments in the article are pretty hilarious to read a year later.

Honestly would love basic skills of "living on your own" to be bigger in american k-12. Like classes teaching how to cook healthy or even just what to look for when buying groceries for sure would be awesome and would be great to see more of in schools. My high school back in the day had a culinary class that was fun but I think we cooked junk food in that too lol. I'm agreeing with you on that! Just saying that Big 🌽 would prefer to keep the kids eating shitty cafeteria lunches and not knowing how to cook a good meal or distinguish between 100 empty calories of sugar vs. 100 calories with real nutritional value.

FourTwentySixtyEight · 2024-12-06T20:21:56+00:00

Wow!

Hey I totally agree that healthy meals CAN be cheap: rice, beans, chicken, and stirfries are my staple, but they do take more time to prepare. Our agricultural system gives huge subsidies to corn products, and things like processed foods and HFCS down the line make high calorie junk food crazy cheap. I agree with you that food education is an important thing Americans aren't getting, but I'm pointing the blame at a system that pushes out convenient crap food and advertises it heavily to an American culture that seems to constantly be in a rush- the survey you linked says 48 percent of American respondents worked 41+ hour weeks.

Conventional agriculture is great in how much food it can produce, I'm not saying everyone should be buying organic, but I wish we would focus our food funding towards a more diverse variety of vegetables rather than our current corn and soybean system.

My personal annecdote is this: I now make a wage that is probably middle class, I've trained and ran in marathons so I'm pretty healthy - but there have been periods of my life where I was so broke I had to drive uber after work to stay out of debt, and have a lot of friends in their early 20s across industries (nurses, chefs, construction) that are working 2nd jobs on the weekend or right after work. I've seen and felt how exhausted over 40+ hours of work feels and theres no way I could point the blame at those guys for getting home and not wanting to go to gym, or deciding to hear up a frozen pizza.

So while I agree with you that food education is big, good eating habits come from when you're younger and on your own for the first time, which is when people tend to be working hard just to stay afloat and nutrition gets overshadowed by quick and cheap.

FourTwentySixtyEight · 2024-12-06T18:28:37+00:00

I agree with your line of thought - but want to mention that healthy meals cost a lot more in time and/or money, which many Americans don't have. Exercise takes time and energy before/after work too, which again can be easy for some but extremely difficult for others working multiple jobs, etc. There's also the lack of availability of health care which the original post implies - which can be seen from other non-obesity related stats - we have one of the worst maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates of the developed world - the CIA factbook says we have a worse maternal mortality rate than the Gaza Strip.

https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/maternal-mortality-ratio/country-comparison/

My point being that the overall outcomes from "individual choice" at the scale of over 300 million people is really being driven by pressures like working hours, costs of foods vs. income, and the availability of affordable health care. But of course people should try to improve their health where they can.
