There’s something different about McD this season…
ExiledInIllinois replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
Worked over?... The Bills have only lost by more than 6 point 3-4 times in the last 50 or so games... Injuries are bad in tight games. -

OR... Go old-school and call the librarian @ the reference desk of your local public library. She's gotta be pretty lonely these days!

Gotta be what it claims it's own criticism is. Most likely political too... I mean... It's not like things aren't sourced. It is nice for finding stuff that's usually set in stone... Like who won the 1981 SuperBowl... Or who was drafted in the 15th round of the 1972 NFL draft...

Why are we so late to adjust defensively?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Ramza86's topic in The Stadium Wall
Olsen made the comment they were "run blitzes"... To get negative yards downs where they may be running. But Olsen is an idiot... Said Burrow was gonna come out firing & won't be rattled. 💥 Phillips puts his "hands in the air like he don't care!" -
I asked AI why people hate Wikipedia... This is what it gave me.😆🤣 "People often hate due to fear of the unknown, insecurity, and a desire to protect their in-group from perceived threats. This intense aversion can stem from personal experiences, social conditioning, and emotional responses like anger and fear." AI is quoting Wikipedia!😆 "Understanding the Roots of Hate Fear of Differences One primary reason people hate is fear. When individuals encounter something or someone different from themselves, it can trigger feelings of insecurity and anxiety. This fear often leads to hostility towards those perceived as outsiders. In-Group vs. Out-Group Dynamics The in-group versus out-group theory explains that people tend to favor their own group while viewing outsiders as threats. This instinctual behavior is a survival mechanism, where love for one's group is accompanied by aggression towards others. Projection of Self-Hate People often project their own insecurities and undesirable traits onto others. This psychological phenomenon leads individuals to attack those they perceive as embodying what they dislike about themselves. By hating others, they deflect attention from their own flaws. Social and Cultural Influences Amplification Through Technology The rise of social media has made it easier for hate to spread. Online anonymity can lead to more aggressive behavior, as people feel less accountable for their actions. Hate often generates more engagement online, further fueling negative sentiments." Loneliness and Insecurity Many individuals who express hate do so out of feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. This emotional state can lead to a desire to lash out at others, creating a cycle of negativity that is hard to break. Conclusion Hate is a complex emotion rooted in fear, social dynamics, and personal insecurities. Understanding these factors can help in addressing and reducing hate in society." Add a simple ? to that question and you get this: "Reasons for Criticism of Wikipedia Lack of Authority and Reliability Wikipedia is not considered a primary source for research. Critics argue that the lack of authoritative oversight leads to unreliable information. The open editing model allows anyone to contribute, which can result in inaccuracies and misinformation. Systemic Bias Wikipedia has been accused of systemic bias, where certain viewpoints are favored over others, often unintentionally. This can lead to skewed representations of topics. Specific groups have organized campaigns to address perceived biases, such as the pro-Israel group CAMERA, which sought to correct what they viewed as inaccuracies in articles related to Israel. Content Issues Articles can be edited to reflect personal biases or agendas, leading to a lack of neutrality. This is particularly evident in politically sensitive topics. The quality of articles varies significantly, with some being well-researched while others are overly simplistic or incomplete. Community and Editing Practices The standard of debate among editors can be low, often devolving into squabbles rather than constructive discussions. This can hinder the improvement of articles. Some users feel that the editing process is dominated by a small group of active contributors, which can marginalize diverse perspectives. Exposure to Vandalism Wikipedia is vulnerable to vandalism, with a study indicating that a small percentage of articles contain damaged content. While many edits are quickly corrected, some misinformation can persist for a time. These factors contribute to the mixed feelings many have towards Wikipedia, despite its vast repository of information." Isn't this really everything in life?
