I think the worst part is that our reality is shaped based on where we fall in the political spectrum. 30 years ago there were like 5 outlets for news and they were all basically the same. We could largely agree on some basic "facts" or "truths" even when they were wrong. Now we have algorithm dictated infotainment delivering a 24/7 feed of confirmation bias. Whatever you engage with the longest is the truth. Whether its deep fakes, rage bait, conspiracy theories, outright fabrications, mainstream fluff, it doesn't matter. Whatever keeps your eyeballs on the screen the longest determines what "news" you get and therefor your reality. If the news tells you the earth is round and that doesn't tickle your fancy, keep scrolling and you'll have no problem finding a community of flat earthers that will take you in. You are never alone no matter how far off the reservation you have wandered. Every viewpoint is now equal. All "facts" are equal. Very few people question their feed when its reinforcing their world view. Its increasingly difficult to find common ground and I don't see that getting better. Our political discourse is increasingly shaped by the raging debate between the lunatic fringes on either side. And now they have their own social media platforms. Which echo chamber do you prefer: every piece of art made in the past 1,000 years is a misogynistic, racist, transphobic microgression giving bad vibes OR 10 million Guatemalans have attacked the Lincoln Memorial and are eating dogs? Here's my conspiracy theory: Social media is the greatest psy op in recorded history. Soviet level cynicism incoming.

Letās rank the starting QBs in 2025
FireChans replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hurts has two things working against him. He may be the worst skill position player relatively on his whole offense. He may be the QB asked to do the least, at least among the best. Hurts has the backwards career arc. Usually, it goes young QB learning, stacking numbers/accolades, then finally a ring. I would argue that an MVP or 2 AP seasons would do more for his career stock than another Super Bowl ring, as crazy as that sounds. -
I read he turned down more money because he wanted to play with his college buddy. Sometimes that just how it is

Moss wasnāt a perimeter player. At his size and skill level he wouldnāt even see the bench on an NBA team. Take his own word for it. EDIT: and those āterribleā pros would school him and 99% of other basketball players. -
