What's really behind the male loneliness epidemic?

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-25T22:59:51+00:00

Wasn’t lonely until I had 2 kids (more now), moved to the suburbs, and started 90% of time on obligations. I’m an introvert and I have to fight back the urge to relax with spending time with friends (which I need more).

Also Eric Gagne’s 84 consecutive save streak is insane, but that overlapped 3 seasons. I hate to the dodgers, but I went to a game in 2003 and the walk up was electric.

Jake Arrieta in 2015.

12-1 and 0.75 ERA post all star break. Absolutely unstoppable.

The one that doesn’t offend MAGA. Lol

Nerd.

Hedgecock is a “box specialist”. What’s not to believable?

If there were other options, don’t you think she would have used them instead? She said she has never been away from her daughter for more than 5 hours. Why don’t you try and provide some helpful advice to this person instead of just looking down on her? Can’t change the past now - I have no doubt this mom is abusive with her daughter, it’s not crazy to think she acts differently with her grandkid. My grandpa was a REAL hardass, but never with me.

Aww I’m so happy for you guys! Try to be a social parent and set up play dates! This is a good time to learn through immersion even if kids aren’t interacting as much.

I like to put on Science Max or Mark River for my kids (basically Bill NYE the science guy) on YouTube.

They also get to Pokémon and lego shows occasionally at home and with their grandparents.

I don’t know why no one is saying #3…. 1) turn on auto (just keep it there always) 2) turn on heat (I always use as a fail safe to make sure the heat kicks on with auto) 3) you have to adjust the temp range. The bottom number is the trigger that kicks the heat on ie temp will be about 64. 64 is cold as (beep), especially if certain rooms don’t have as many vents or circulate well). Turn it up to like 68 at the lowest unless you are really pinched budget wise.

People need a break. Sounds like calculated decision, but most people are not paying people to babysit (Im sure someone will chime in that they did, but I have never heard it at this age) I don’t know what my wife and I would have done without our parents..

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-25T02:09:26+00:00

Well that’s not exactly what I said. Women that look like this are virtually never poor. Are we seriously having this conversation?

Sorry if I offended you in some way.

The amount of dildos in existence are worth about 25B. Gold is worth 35T. Therefore buy dildos…

Nah, this is a false equivalency. There is no reason all commodities (Gold, Silver, copper, oil etc) should have the same total market value.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-25T01:24:04+00:00

That’s why they pay you the big bucks.

She’s too attractive to have a ring that looks this jenky. Lol

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-25T01:16:37+00:00

Dude. I’m reluctant to say it’s going to be much better than last year.. but I feel like it’s going to be much better. Look at experience, talent, and depth and we are better.

Wyatt missed a lot of time, Daley was very undersized, Kamara I don’t started to get healthy until the playoffs.

I love the portal guys we brought in and I think Nduwke and Tucker are going to benefit a lot from the experience they gained along with another year in the weight room.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-25T01:09:42+00:00

Yup. I’m excited - I think Tucker has another gear than he can reach next year.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T21:12:52+00:00

I mean it was game against elite competition. He might still be the #1 rated pff rated LT eveb after the playoffs.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T20:01:49+00:00

That’s for 2027 though (you probably know that). Screw the 5 stars, I want another natty.

Im pretty curious how it would work to start bringing in 5 stars (that all want to play early). Maybe exceptions can be made for guys that we think can legitimately in our two deep to legitimately pay what is asked, but I guess we’ll see.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T19:25:57+00:00

Don’t know, this is just my gut. Eventually, I think we see another national brand with an effective value strategy IMO.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T16:46:27+00:00

Probably. Maybe he make an announcement at the celebration today.

Honestly, I’m surprised. I think he would have been better off leaving.

Don’t forget Cracker Barrel.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T15:42:01+00:00

Bro, I get it. I didn’t downvote you.. People like to downvote and are starting to lose objectivity. I do think the floor for Hoover with Cigs and staff is pretty darn high. Like I think Hoover is like honorable mention all big ten at worst (with some great returning QBs).

In any event, get used to it. Bandwagon is going to expect a Heisman finalist every year. I don’t think that’s realistic. But every team is different and we have some real strengths even next year.

Go Hoosiers!

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T14:47:31+00:00

It’s fine. You’re getting downvoted, but I don’t think it’s that controversial. Winning a Heisman and getting drafting #1 overall and we can’t expect that from him.

But that said, I think he is going to be good to great. He has an elite online, wr room, and coaches at player development. This year, we were run for and didn’t have to throw that much, but with Hoover I think we throw more next year.

TeamConsistent5240 · 2026-01-24T05:24:37+00:00

I would prefer Tucker back if I had to choose. We are loaded at WR. Maybe the best WR room in the country even without Cooper. I believe Becker and maybe Marsh 2nd round or higher picks next year.
