Haha.. I’ll stick to apps, but appreciate the advice.

Im fine. I don’t have an issue with the other sex and own a business. There’s a lot of truth to the viewpoint espoused of pick yourself up by your boot straps and make something of yourself. Go to the gym and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I’m simply speaking for a lost generation of men who have blinking red alarms going off and most on the left want to minimize their struggles.

Ok, and? We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about reality and why young men are withdrawing from society and/or becoming completely red-pilled. You want to downplay their struggles. Ok fine.. but while there are incredibly difficult things previous generations have gone through, you’ll never understand the modern technological age of isolation.

Our not too distant ancestors fought a world war for a country they loved, and they thought loved them back. There was pride in that. They had women they cherished and wanted to protect/make proud. They could buy a home, raise a family and have stake in the country. Please tell me you are not comparing that era to our current one. Just admit you are too far removed to comment on the topic at hand. Everything you respond with is a talking point from a bygone era.

What does that matter when colleges need to hit quotas and less qualified, less educated applicants get in over you? What does that matter when companies have had promotion caps on white men for the past 5-7 years as they promote less qualified candidates of color to positions staffed by HR departments run by progressive women? The pendulum is swinging, but if you’re a white man, your color has been a detriment to you in recent years, yet those like you want to pretend it’s privilege. Outdated bs. There are obviously young folks this doesn’t apply to, but what I’m saying has basis in polling and statistics, whereas you’ve given anecdotal evidence. But I do agree that your mentality ultimately shapes your future and what I’m saying is that young men are dying inside and letting rejection and disappointment shape them.

If it makes you feel better, given the lefts obsession with calling anything men say “incel based”… I’ve had plenty of numb, empty sex in my life. I get the feeling many of you aren’t in your 20’s and 30’s when you take issue with how young men frame the current culture. It’s not incel commentary to acknowledge the emptiness and bleakness of the modern world in terms of relationships between the sexes. You just have to hope you stumble across someone worth investing in and that, in that moment of time, both of you have buried trauma, exes, and commitment fear down far enough to actually try with each other. If you wonder why young men have no drive to compete in a economic environment that disadvantages them on top of it… it’s because their base nature to provide for a woman and family they love has been drained and replaced with a hollow realization that they won’t have what their grandparents had.

It is. There are some small running groups that people join to meet others, stuff like that.. but for the most part, anyone over college age is meeting on apps or semi-checked out of the dating marketplace, if not checked out completely. People aren’t dating. People aren’t having sex. People don’t approach each other in public. Especially true for Gen Z. 10% of men are sleeping with most of the women on apps, while 90% of men are checked out after constant rejection. The women sleeping with those men have a toxic ex they can’t get over or a roster that they circulate them through. It’s all dystopian and bleak, but great if you’re an attractive person who just wants to have empty sex to temporarily dissociate from the regret of what your life has become.

Lmao… no, young women are not more satisfied. Any man who is attractive and over 6’ tall on Bumble/Hinge in a big city will tell you what I’m about to tell you.. They are empty and sad. Most on SSRI’s. They drink wine and sleep around to cope with life choices they were told would make them happy.

The average right wing white guy doesn’t care about social security privatization or safety net cuts. You care about that. They do not. They don’t believe SS will even be there for them anyway and they haven’t really benefitted from safety nets. They come from a middle/upper middle class family and see a country that has told them they’re privileged and should step aside for minorities and women, and also not feel disenfranchised over it. They see a dating landscape that is completely f’ed .. so their base instinct to provide is gone because who are they providing for? They see multiculturalism celebrated, while whiteness is demonized. This has been taught to them on a slow burn in school, especially during BLM/Covid hysteria and they watched migrants pour across the border for four years to the constant defense by their liberal politicians as native born citizens struggle. They just want to work a construction job or middle management whatever, but a house and find a woman that isn’t on onlyfans or obsessively career driven in a corporate world that has elevated everyone but white men as of late. Your party has rained much of that down on them. They f’ing hate you for it. They don’t love Republicans but they hate you. And young black and latino men are starting to agree with the whites.. which should terrify Dems.

It’s an interesting contrast because I don’t believe Gen Z men are ultra-capitalist.. they believe the system is broken for them and they will own nothing and never have a family. So what does it mean when polling shows they’ve drastically become more conservative. What that means is they’ve completely rejected the socio-cultural worldview of the left and support the populist right, which is more along the lines of a blurring of traditional right/left fiscal views in the mold of Trump, Vance, Hawley etc. with an emphasis on American citizens over all else. Where the Democrat Party has lost young men is in an area that will be incredibly hard to fix. Culturally. It’s looked down upon to be a Democrat male. There are societal connotations to it, especially as a white male. That doesn’t change overnight.

Bernie Sanders in 2019 “Of course I would use tariffs as President”. Obama tariffed steel, tires and solar panels to name a few. If you want anyone to take you seriously outside of Bluesky, you should probably shelf the “he’s gonna postpone the ‘26 elections” talk.

I don’t have a huge opinion either way on tariffs. It sounds like a lot of economists that were against this are begrudgingly giving Trump respect now. That said.. I see a lot of conservative accounts celebrating these trade deals. So what happens? Where does all this money Trump is bringing in go? Do we lower taxes further? Pay down debt? More job creation? Not asking condescendingly, honestly want to know what the end game is. We do know certain products will go up due to some of these tariffs.. so we incentivize buying American and building American or consumers eat price hikes. I think a lot of this sounds good. It does seem like Trump has a lot of momentum economically currently. So how do we, the America citizens, benefit from all of this. What are celebrating aside from Team Red big dubs and, conversely, Team Blue debasing themselves by hating all this when it’s quite literally a Democrat policy.

How would you feel if McDermott/Frazier whoever didn’t botch 13 seconds (Mahomes didn’t do anything - we literally gave him two free passes) and Kincaid makes the catch? We go onto win that game and Allen is immortalized in Playoff history for that play. And I get it.. what happened happened and we lost. The winners write history, but my goodness it’s so annoying having these discussions knowing Allen should be in the discussion .. not this Mahomes/Brady are one tier and then Allen.

Dawkins got beat clean, pushed back into Allen almost immediately before Shakir could clear for a wide open go ahead TD. Bass misses the chip shot FG to tie. Kincaid drops a miracle play by Allen. As is typically the case.. Allen is let down by those around him. Meanwhile, in Bills/Chiefs playoff matchups, Mahomes can count on his guys to make plays (both sides of the ball).

Party of single millennial women and boomers.

Yea.. it would be more of an idea if we found a trade partner for Samuel, but I think our front office and coaching staff really, really want Samuel to be a thing.

Massive news.. not just for his potential this year, but as an investment moving forward in the second Josh Allen window.

Quite the eventful day off from training camp

If the ACL tear rumor is true, man… Small DB, primarily drafted for speed and quickness. Might not be until Year 3 until we see what he can do, and that’s hoping he’s able to recover fully. Maybe not a huge hit for this year, but about as rough as it could be for the rookie contract maximization of a 1st Round Rookie CB predicated on speed/agility. Beane can’t predict the future, but he really needs a big year from Coleman and Kincaid right now.

Restaurant owners putting out a better united statement about what happened than any elected leader in the city. Unlike the elected leaders, they actually have skin in the game if nobody wants to visit or work in downtown Cincinnati.

Interpreting the first spiritual post .. ok, I think we’re good. Interpreting this second spiritual post.. ok, I think we’re cooked.

Wasn’t Gabe thought of as an elite blocker at WR? Seems like he’d be a perfect replacement for Mack Hollins. That said, if the plan is for Keon to be primarily outside, opposite Palmer, I’m not sure Gabe would want to come back and compete with Moore for the backup snaps. 11 Personnel looks with Gabe and Palmer outside and Keon in the slot is definitely intriguing to me though.

If the DL lives up to some of its potential and we can stay healthy at LB and Safety, I’m not too worried about Tre at CB2 based on how it’s reported he’s looked at camp. Was probably 50/50 he’d start the season as CB2 anyway, so hopefully Hairston can ramp back up and make a push later. Big opening for Dorian Strong too, who also seems to quietly be having a solid camp. The Deone Walker hype train might have some juice. That guy was a freak two years ago, before a meh past year dealing with the back injury.

As pointed out above. They typically know on the spot if it’s a tear. And while you can walk off with a tear, it’s not advisable, and a trainer who just performed a test would typically not prompt you to walk off like the video shows.
