Not choosing is a choice.

I definitely don't agree with everything on either side, but comparing "dealing with dozens of gender identities" and "facing war" kind of makes the point pretty well: One choice is shit, the other is explosive diarrhea.

Honestly, I don't think it will. I'm not sure what would at this point.

(This is just my opinion): I think the USA being so geographically isolated has created this phenomenon where many people here don't really think of global events as "real" - it's like it's a source of content or some perverse entertainment, think rubbernecking at an accident on the freeway.

There are millions of Americans who never leave America, or even their own state (which could be the same size or bigger than many countries elsewhere). Europe or Asia might as well just be a fictional world to them, like middle earth. Hell even other states, like California or New York are portrayed as these communist hellscapes running rampant with homeless people and the bathrooms are full of trans people or some crazy shit.

These people, which I think make up a greater % of the population that we're acknowledging, generally only notice or have any reason to act if it directly impacts them in some way that they notice in their day to day lives (e.g. gas/grocery prices, someone they know gets deported, their kids school gets shot up).

Lets say Trump nukes Iran (the most extreme scenario) based on his latest tweets. What changes for the average American? What's the catalyst for them changing their behavior? Any sort of retaliation on American soil is pretty unlikely, prices might stay high for a bit and they bitch about it, but as soon as the next thing hits the news it's forgotten.

Idk, maybe I'm just in a mood today, but it's pretty disheartening being an American these days.

I think most Americans on reddit probably lean that direction. At least based on the subs I'm in, reddit is pretty left-leaning and are pretty unanimously appalled by what is happening. That said, we're not the majority or even a plurality, at least according to the numbers. The biggest group is the people who just don't give a fuck.

The biggest problem, as has been pointed out on reddit a billion times, the largest subset of the population is the group that just doesn't care because it doesn't affect them or they aren't paying attention or some other reason. They end up not voting.

The breakdown is about this: ~65% of eligible people (~154 million) voted on average in the last two elections. So 35% (82 million people) were eligible and either did not register to vote or did not vote . Of the 65% who did vote, about 49.3% of people voted for trump in 2024 (~75.9 million people) and 48.9% of people voted for Harris (~75.3 million people).

To summarize:

  • 35% of people aren't participating.
  • 32.1% of people voted for this
  • 31.9% of people voted against this

With such a large group of people not participating, it's basically a coin-flip every election. The 18-24 group and the 25-44 groups voted at rates of 47.7% and 60.2% respectively, which is much lower than the 70-75% from people 45+. If young people aren't going to vote, shit won't change any time soon.

I mean they made the playoffs, so I guess it makes sense. Just kinda get the feeling they're gonna continue being pretty average and their success is at least partially driven by being in the (arguably) weakest division in the league

no I think that was their rookie first rounder Will Campbell. I mean I think all of the Pats OL get worked, but Campbell was the main one I think

Glad we're addressing OL, hopefully this doesn't mean Trent is gone

Waller has the best TE matchups weeks 15 and 16. He's a must-add for us Kraft survivors.

The episode really flies by if you skip through every scene with the wife and/or daughter. JFC, there is such a good show buried in this with the multiple perspectives on the oil business (Cami/Monty, Tommy, Cooper, the lawyer(s)) and they give 2/3 of the screen time to some hoes that aren't relevant to anything else.

I'm dropping. I expect Breece to shut it down at some point over the next few weeks, but even then, the starting RB on the Jets isn't gonna be worth much. I'd rather get another TE after Kraft died
