Things are changing fast.  Probably at a rate we haven’t seen in decades.  (Certainly not in my lifetime) Every single nation is in the middle of unprecedented actions.  I wouldn’t put it past many governments to use this emergency as an excuse to grab power. But the truth is that once this is...

(This is not a thread to discuss whether global warming is happening) It’s very popular today for vegans to claim that going vegan will save the planet.   In fact, there are claims that livestock emissions produce half of man made emissions...

https://www.studyfinds.org/vexed-voters-8-in-10-americans-say-politics-are-biggest-source-of-stress-in-life/   Amazingly, politics is the biggest source of stress for many people (I can’t believe that this is true for 8 out of 10, but I know it’s true for some) Some things that stress us out...

I've been reading a lot of r/pol.  I always think it's fun to read the extremes, and trust me some of these people think Trump actually is Hitler.  But in between their bits of insanity there are some really good points being made about the power of the executive branch. First of all, the...

Presented with no additional comments or political agendas.  Sobering. https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/06/world/un-biodiversity-report-end-of-nature-sutter-scn/index.html

Most people I follow from Europe are angry about this.  "Big Tech" seems to hate it as well.  Apparently Article 13 is absurdly strict copyright laws for the internet Thoughts? 

Recently read The Obesity Code by Jason Fung.  Brilliant book.  I first read Gary Taubes years ago and instantly became a "believer", though I had a few questions.  Fung answered MOST of my doubts and has left me convinced that Insulin levels drive weight. I know there has been talk about this...

I’m well aware that many will hate this thread and mock me for it.  Don’t care. A quick explanation of why I’m doing this thread. For my entire internet life, cnn.com has been my number one source of news.  It’s just where I go to see what’s happening.   Over the years I’ve never had any...

Somehow in all the insanity of the Trump campaign, the allegations of 16 women got swept under the rug.  It’s easy to understand as it’s been one thing after another for an entire year. But looking back...that’s kind of a big deal, correct?  If you’re a Trump fan, how do you respond?  Is it...

It seems to me that outlawing offensive holding would fix some huge issues the NFL has.  First, OL play sucks.  Second, pass rushers are almost unstoppable.  Third, QB's are going to get destroyed if they don't do something. Why not allow holding?  This is in the free-for-all because people...

Job role is changing, may have to take 1-2 flights per week now.  A few years back, I fly all the time and I did southwest exclusively.  Booked a ton of points, got a companion pass for the wife.. In the years since then when I haven't traveled, I've talked to a lot of people who fly a lot and...

It's time to wax poetic about Liverpool.  As the greatest club in the world, I figured this team deserved it's own thread.   I'm a soccer newbie.  I haven't seen the ebbs and flows of football teams over time as I've seen in the NFL, college football, basketball, etc.  I can look back at the...

Too many rules, too many penalties, too much focus on what the player's are "doing wrong".   Celebration penalties are the last straw. Let these guys have fun.  I saw Dean Blandino say "if we allow things, they will take it to further and further levels."   Who cares!  That's the whole point...
