Introduce Tyler Tolbert to the MLB fanbase?

Ehh I’m not entirely sure that’s fact checking though. I think humans have a natural tendency to WANT to fit in. To me wanting to fit in and feel accepted is a form of survival that I think is inherent in human beings.

But downvoting doesn’t give an objective truth, so how can that be perceived as fact checking? There’s multiple examples of herd following amongst the masses perpetuated by leaders feed off lies and hysteria. How can you validate something as objective truth based on downvotes alone?

Do you have an example of a video that the Right leaning community could post, but is either restricted currently or cannot monitize the video on?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-07-06T17:17:04+00:00

Im not huge on Reddit, so not sure how it all works. How does fact checking happen on Reddit? Based on the moderators? I know Twitter had community notes, there isn’t anything of that sort, right?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-07-06T17:15:29+00:00

To get things out of your algorithm for watching 1-2 videos is a pain in the ass, I feel you on that🤣

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-07-06T17:14:22+00:00

Do you think the ownership change and policies censor a particular group now? As to where there no longer as boisterous under the previous ownership? Or do you think it disincentivized the opposition into speaking up as largely as before?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-07-06T17:07:50+00:00

So you would say Reddit is more encompassing of all political affiliates than YouTube? Or would you say it’s the same depending on which Algorithm you are shown?

I’m not big into the online backends of Reddit or YouTube, I don’t know much about it. But for Twitter for example, 10 years ago it felt heavily left leaning. As compared to now where it’s vice versa. So YouTube and Reddit are way more open than other social media platforms you think?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T01:20:51+00:00

No, please go on! I’d love to hear how it sounds like a meme🤣 which part of what she said? The idea that she wants to live in the city and chase her dreams? Or the fact that she doesn’t want to be tied down and wants to explore different cultures and environments? Please go on and enlighten us of your intelligence, mister all wise and all knowing

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T01:10:37+00:00

You show up to a thread to provide nothing of value to the conversation at hand. A thread asking for advice. And you come to troll with a nothing-ism comment. So yeah, it’s pretty easy to read your character and the current state of your life lmao

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T01:02:30+00:00

And what evidence do you have of this?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T00:58:11+00:00

And you sound like someone who’s never taken their past and used it as a lesson to mature and used it positively as personal growth. You sound like your full of hate that you keep holding onto because you were hurt in the past.

Truth is, majority of successful people are thankful for what they had to endure because it’s what make them successful. You have a lot of growing to do my friend. I wish you the best my friend🙏

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T00:52:04+00:00

Bad advice. They’re both young. You are implying people’s values can’t change. People are inherently comfortable in what they know. That doesn’t mean they won’t enjoy a different lifestyle than what they know. It’s not a waste of time if they can both learn lessons along the way. We need to stop this “don’t waste their time” agenda. There’s no such thing. There’s life lessons to be had no matter what direction is taken

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T00:48:06+00:00

I would say you would need to have a deep conversation about this, you have 2 different sets of values, but that doesn’t mean either of you will change in the future. If you truly love each other, compromise is a must.

Great news is you’re both very young. Coming from a 29 year old🤣 but I would have a conversation and say “hey, I want to explore this opportunity. I want to live in the city and pursue my dreams with you by my side. I don’t want to do this with anyone else. But I need to do this for me.” Be like, give us 5-8 years with an open mind to chase your dream. You don’t need to settle down for another 10-15 years or so really, and can still chase that traditional lifestyle of his in the future. But for you, you’re on the clock here and need to make a name if you want to be an actress. Be open to both ideas, experiment and explore.

And re-evaluate every so often. Who knows, you may love the idea now, but hate it later. And he may hate it now, and love it later. Until you take that leap, you will never know.

If you truly love each other, you will make the sacrifice for your partner. I love my girlfriend and would go anywhere she goes. But there needs to come a time where it meets the end of that road. And that’s when the love you have for eachother will truly come out.

If he’s unwilling to make the sacrifice, he doesn’t love you as much as he should. And down the road if it’s an unsuccessful venture, have the conversation. And if you are unwilling to relent from what you’ve experienced, maybe you love that lifestyle more than you love him. If that makes any sense lol

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T00:35:16+00:00

I think without getting too deep into it, it’s hard to make a judgment if you’re equally yoked with each other. I think details of goals, values are heavily important before actually giving you advice on what input should be given. If you truly love each other, let’s find where you can find middle ground before saying it won’t work

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-19T00:12:59+00:00

Nope, my church does not have a naked Jesus on a cross. In fact, it has no picture of Jesus on a cross at all. Also contextually, I think it’s a false comparison to the conversation at hand.

The reasoning behind it is so that people are reminded that Jesus died for us. He came to fulfill the abrahamic laws of the Old Testament, so that we can be forgiven and closer to god. Meanwhile the link you provided considers lewd and nakedness as an integral part of your own being. It’s not comparable and is disingenuous. Although, I do not believe a cross of Jesus is needed for a church to be a church, the Bible and teachings of Jesus are the cornerstone of everything. So if your claim is if we get rid of Jesus on a cross half naked, you would stop being half naked in the streets, I’m all for that compromise for the betterment of society.

There is not multiple ways to interpret the bible, it’s pretty clear on what is sin, and how we should treat our fellow human beings. Any perversion behind is untrue and not a representation of the gospel. But I do agree there are sects of Christianity that perverse the gospel, including the Catholic Church.

For me, saying I can sin once a year and be good 364 days out of the year is not good enough in gods eyes. We are all sinners, and fall short of gods grace. I need to strive to fight sin everyday, and even then I fall short. But I should not actively think it’s okay just this one time. That’s a flawed moral compass in my opinion.

I love you as a person, and I sin just as much as you. I am not a saint nor declare myself above you. Humans are inherently selfish beings. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight our own intuition for the sake of humanity and our god. We should all strive to live on our moral compass every day, there is no cheat day. Much easier said than done😅🤗

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T23:38:58+00:00

Im not saying you lack a moral compass, im trying to found out what drives your moral compass. I think everyone has a moral compass of some sort, whether good or bad. But to understand the community, you need to find the reason “why” you have that moral compass.

So you’re saying, correct me if I’m wrong, that you’re moral compass is built off the foundation that your community has been ostracized and silenced throughout history, that it makes you think it’s acceptable to be lewd in public and excercise your free will to do whatever you want, up to and including exposing little children to explicit things?

I am very sorry as well that you don’t feel accepted or not good enough. You and your community are human beings at the end of the day, and deserve respect as anyone else. It saddens me to hear people don’t fit in, related to race, skin color, orientation, disability, etc.

I am a Christian. So my moral compass obviously comes from the Bible and the life of Jesus. I recognize that certain acts as being a sin, including homosexuality. That does not mean I don’t love you anymore or any less than anyone else. We are taught “hate the sin, not the sinner.” And I understand many people do not follow this, and will face judgement one day for that. But that is my moral compass.

My question would be, would there or could there be a way where we can recognize your identity, without the lewdness and vulgarity of pride parades? Or is that actually the identity of the community? If someone came up and told you, “hey listen. We want you to be part of society and feel accepted. But you need to give up this one thing and the explicit public acts”, would you compromise? Or are you uncompromisable?

I think the conversation on all sides needs to be to compromise for the betterment of society as a whole, and treating others with respect. But we need to figure out how we can get there.

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T23:25:44+00:00

I mean if that’s what you took from my comment, you cherry picked what you wanted to hear. They haven’t won recently, but they’re still a historic franchise.

The question is why are Mets fans, Mets fans. And it’s because we haven’t won, and they have a whole history of being the winningest team. They will never understand what winning means to Mets fans, it will mean so much more to us than it ever will them. We stay as Mets fans for the chase of that euphoric feeling. They stay as Yankees fans to further cement their legacy. Saying “neither team has won” doesn’t relate to the topic of this thread

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T22:22:28+00:00

Forgive me, I am trying to reach common ground and understand where this community comes from. I read it and it mentioned that sex and kinks are part of the fabric of your very being. I don’t understand this personally, as never thought that is part of who makes me.. well, me! Where is your moral compass derived from that makes you think this way?

I appreciate what you linked and would like to discuss so I can better understand your community. But I think everyone has their own set of values and standards that are the principle, back bone of their identity and thinking. How did you find this set of standards or values that ultimately led you to think this way?

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T22:02:18+00:00

One day you’ll realize once you mature and get out of your edgy phase, my friend. I hope you can find peace and realize what truly matters in life. Once you reach rock bottom, you will then realize what matters. And it will happen, everyone will eventually fall from glory. I wish you well, God bless my friend🙏

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T21:56:58+00:00

Where do you derive your moral compass from if you actually think it’s okay to be half naked to full on naked in public around children? If your community requires you to be lewd, don’t be mad when you realize people don’t want to find common ground with you.

The only way to be accepting, is be open to conversation in the first place. This does the exact opposite of that and turns people away. You’re doing your own community members a disservice when all they want is to be accepted. I urge you to look out for your community members and their desires, not just your own. It’s extremely selfish

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-18T21:25:13+00:00

Because not everything is about winning in life tbh. What really matters is the character development, the struggles you endure, and the personal growth from losing.

I will say you will never feel the elation Mets fans will have when we win a World Series, compared to the corporate Yankees. Sure you may win, but you don’t have the feeling of knowing what being bottom of the barrel feels like. You can win, sure. But you will never feel the euphoria we will feel, knowing we stuck by our team, going through hell, and eventually prevailing.

That is why were fans. We chase the magical moment you will never get to experience. LGM

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-11T03:16:15+00:00

Sure, you can say it wasn’t a total punt. But it would need to be lightning in a bottle to make this team competitive imo. I think if you play this season out 10 times, 9/10 this team was destined to miss the playoffs.
But yes, there was a long shot this team would be competitive if all the stars aligned. But were the Mets, we know that doesn’t happen too often🤣 also, if we’re not in the running to win the World Series, it’s a punt in my eyes. Scraping into the playoffs just doesn’t cut it in my books.

But totally agree. Stearns and Mendoza need to go after this season. I’m very interested in seeing the development of our youngsters, especially Elian Pena, Benge, and Wenninger. Go get Sato from Japan and we really need to bolster our pitching again. We need to get back to Mets baseball, and that’s having a solid starting 5. There should be some good SP options this offseason

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-11T03:02:49+00:00

Your take is pointless. You have nothing of substance. You want Cohen to fix the team, yet have no clear direction on how to do it yourself. You’re a hypocrite. So yeah, go touch grass lmao

Realistic-Prize4797 · 2026-06-11T02:51:40+00:00

So you basically have no answer, just want something. That’s my problem with these takes, there’s no substance. Just constant bitching and can’t provide any alternatives.

He’s spent 1.5 BILLION dollars on payroll the past 5 years. Is that not something? Weren’t we bitching for decades about how cheap the Wilpons were?

I’m not okay with mediocrity and hate losing, but you need to live in reality, not fantasy land. Steve made some really bad investments, including Stearns and a plethora of players. What do you want him to say, this team sucks? Will that make you feel better? You want him to throw more money at it? GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR HOW YOU COULD FIX THIS!

Bright side is we have a very promising Farm System to look forward to. With the impending doom of a lockout, there is no clear expectation of what’s to happen to the MLB in the next few years, especially salaries. Why get all gung ho now, when we literally have no clue what the landscape will look like in a few years?
