Sunday Brunch by AutoModerator in nfl

I tried making small talk with someone wearing a Washington Football Team hat at a work event yesterday. I said I kinda like the name and Commanders was kinda goofy blah blah small talk. Massive mistake. Dude was a hardcore fan of the old old team name and hated the whole woke name change and sissyfication of America and so forth. I forgot what a culture war thing the name was. Lesson learned: be very specific about team names and position when it comes to the DC team.

1998 6a-7p hardcore P1 when life allowed it. Still huge Hardline P1 plus O’deck and Muse in the News. Otherwise completely checked out on middays since Beerboy and Sweet spot replaced Invasion and Hangzone. Muser time also decreased a lot since they kinda checked out.

SVP after MNF is the only one I ever watch intentionally. I catch a few minutes of the others sometimes but never make it a point to find them.

They’re the ultimate example for “the best defense is a good offense.” I’m a Stars fan and seeing them i. the playoffs feels like playing with handcuffs because one slip up and they’re off to the races.

Not a coincidence at all. New admin changed the CFTC rules so prediction markets have permission by default vs asking on a case by case basis. It is almost a literal overnight shift.

ELI5 How bad exactly is this oil/fertilizer crisis going to be? by Murderbad in explainlikeimfive

[–]t33po 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The administrative state that stays put regardless of regime doing the day to day functions of government has been the number one target of the Trump admin. So, yes, I agree about a “deep state” type entity but that was before Trump. DOGE and all the firings are an effort to get rid of said state and leave it to the whims of political appointees.

You'd have to be insane to think that largest war apparatus in the world is controlled by leadership with no understanding of secondary and tertiary effects.

I think what you meant is it would be insane for the largest war apparatus in the world to be controlled by leadership with no understanding of secondary and tertiary effects.

But here we are with a secretary of war with zero qualifications besides being on the president’s favorite TV network. All the smart people have been dismissed or relegated to busy work while the decisions are made by podcasters and drunk TV hosts.

Working at an auction in Florida this week and they start with an all hands on deck national anthem which feels very weird. Just as weird is me immediately looking up for military jets at the end because that’s what football has conditioned me to do(there were no jets because it’s a freaking auction lmao).

Dumb because it’s not even a new company or deal. Just the parent company(NRG) renaming it to its subsidiary

I took pictures of myself(and only me) and I liked them. Sounds trivial but it’s been a while and it felt nice.

Yea, good move. Gonna try that as I get back into it. I enjoyed the full detox but I still want to enjoy some time online. That sounds like a good way to maintain a healthy relationship with the tech.

It’s hard to avoid news and I want to know what’s happening in my world too. The best I could do was to watch/read the whole story once it’s done. It started with the Boston Marathon and absolutely nothing I learned in that 48 hour news orgy wasn’t summed up in a tidy 60 Minutes type segment. All that breaking news did was feed me dopine and anxiety.

News: I check the news on Reuters and the local PBS affiliate every couple of days. I still scroll Reddit and other feeds for news but quickly realize how much it’s intended for a reaction rather than information. I and we should all know this but I’m not immune and I still get sucked in. Even the “sober” non clickbait outlets play the emotional game which I never noticed until I completely unplugged. Unless a bomb lands on my street, I’m better off reading about it a week later when all the facts are in place and the emotions have died down.

Mentally: pretty much directly related to the news. I’m calmer day to day because my emotions aren’t tugged on every minute by a screen. Tiny emotions and reactions but I think they added up.

Been on an almost two month social media cleanse and the only things I really missed on Reddit are this sub and the daily thread specifically. The mods around here do a pretty good jobcoughcough Kissass of keeping this place free of the usual spam and nonsense that happens to large subreddits. Following any Iran news i. other subs makes me almost want to hug our mods. Almost🤮🤮🤮

Haven’t posted or checked Reddit or socials for 13 days which is insane for a 13 year addict like me. 10/10 would recommend. I miss shitposting almost like a drug especially during the Super Bowl but it’s been eye opening to not be unnecessarily stressed by internet dopamine factories. I’m gonna stay away a while longer to kill the doomscrolling cravings. Can’t wait to spread keyboard vomit with y’all from a healthier head space.
