Are we being purposely divided?
Matt_In_NH replied to Matt_In_NH's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Tell us what “my side” is. Let’s see if you can read. You have no ability to stay on topic. -

Complete nonsense. Identical to what trump did? -

I don't expect you to understand or care, but your facts are just opinions. It seems you can only see things one way and I doubt that will ever change. When was the last presidential candidate who lost who did not concede and made up lies about widespread fraud. Do you believe there was widespread fraud? -

This is exactly what I am talking about, you can only see it one way. If I asked you which side, the left or right actually tried to unconstitutionally steal he presidential election, what would you answer? This is absolutely backed up by facts in terms of 60 some odd court cases in which every nook, cranny, theory was brought to court and there was no substantial fraud found which could have influenced the election. Those are facts. -
He sure did cost himself a bunch of money. I don't agree with some of his rhetoric but he made some great plays and gave his all as a Bill on the field. The Bills did what they needed to do for their organization and Beasley did what I guess he needed to do for himself and his teammates who could not stand up for themselves (his words). I think it is somewhat ironic he has turned into one of the guys who will pay the price for taking a stand, something I do not think he thought would happen.

Anyone else watch a doc called "The Big Hack" on Netflix? It's about Cambridge Analytica/facebook and it makes some pretty disturbing assertions. I will say that what they talk about and the conclusions line up with what I believe I have been watching over the last 6 years. Among other things it goes into the 2016 presidential campaign and how it was flipped using AI and identifying/targeting people who were persuadable in key states. They kind of get at how malleable people are in their views and they can be manipulated to hold a position. I think it is widely known but I wonder if most people don't realize how much they can be influenced by propaganda. I am sure people are reading this and saying to themselves "yeah I see it but I am immune to it, I am not one of them", I think its a good exercise to really keep an open mind about that, you may be more persuadable than you realize! If you think you are not being manipulated then there is a good chance you actually are! My opinion is that people on the left and right are all being used as pawns and we all need to open our eyes to it. I often see righties talk about lefties as being sheep and believing anything which I sometimes agree with but if you step back and look at what the Republican Party has become...they are sheep and believe anything being pushed that is anti left. I laugh when I perceive sheep call others sheep but it is getting to the point I dont think it is funny anymore. My background is historically conservative (Republican) but I am a registered independent and have been for many years. I am thoroughly disappointed in what the Republican parts has become. I live in NH where we have a good chunk of independents, they make it easy to vote in primaries as a republican or democrat and I like that flexibility depending on who is running and what the topics are. The AI technology could be state run to try to destabilize a Country and it could be just maximizing advertising revenue, the lines can be blurred a lot. Social Media has been weaponized to change regimes in other areas of the world, is the US immune to that? Could we be experiencing this right now and just don't realize it? I have read about the targeted advertisements and whatnot for years as I am sure many of you have. I do think a big chunk of the population is oblivious and does not realize the AI engines give you what you crave, they want to keep your eyeballs on their content. But there is a secondary affect which is that people get more and more ingrained into a political position because they see something that resonates with them on some level and then they may comment, a friend or relative may back that position up that you did not realize you were aligned on. This helps justify in your mind you are in the right and makes you less likely to consider a different viewpoint. The Trump campaign absolutely dominated the Social Media segment for that campaign. They were able to identify and target the exact people they needed to win the election and it worked. This is partly why the election was a surprise upset and went against the polls. They ask the question "can we ever have a fair election"? Which on one hand I get with the technology that is available today but at the same time, there has always been propaganda and targeted advertising. It's kind of like we used to use rifles and now we can fly a drone from a trailer in Las Vegas and kill a terrorist in Afghanistan on the other side of the world...the technology has just been pushing the limits. There was a time we were more able to discuss politics at work, at family gatherings, etc. My experience is that has changed a lot recently, its a taboo subject where people know generally if uncle Joe is left or right and it is not discussed anymore. My experience is the vast majority only listen to either right wing propaganda or left wing propaganda. There are "facts" on the left and "facts" on the right that we believe shows unequivocally our position is correct. We cannot even agree on what facts are. Do you think the US is being targeted and by some foreign government(s) that is trying to destabilize the USA? Curious what others think about this.

Did the infamous Wind Game effect the new stadium design?
Matt_In_NH replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think the climate affects the wind mitigation approach not “one day something happened” -
It's statistically proven. Blue pants are a bad luck charm

Causation? -
Sal Capaccio tweets starters... Spencer Brown and more...
Matt_In_NH replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
They don’t often have three RBs active not counting that Taiwan guy. I think it’s likely Moss sits. -
Jelly? What part of anything I said indicate I want to celebrate him? You seem overly emotional over a someone who has not had much of an impact on any nfl team.

I think you should direct your attention at those who selected him to play in games for the bills and not as much at him. He might be the worst qb ever but why hate on a guy who gave his best effort. I get not wanting to have him as your qb and even wondering g how is he still around but he’s just a dude trying to make the best life for himself. He made 5 million bucks in 6 years…. I bet he is doing just fine. And I bet he would want nothing more than a chance to bring those stats up.

This sounds great. They really are striking a balance of some vs outdoor and minimizing the miserable parts.

Bills have 5th oldest roster in the NFL
Matt_In_NH replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
This can be misleading....there are a bunch of vets on the OL along with the safeties, other role players. There is nothing to be concerned about. -

Which player on the roster baffles you that they are on this team?
Matt_In_NH replied to Wizard's topic in The Stadium Wall
Pretty sure they only kept Stevenson because he is injured. I expect him to go to ir today -
Caused by the brown eye
