Fakebook. Dude. Stop using Facebook as a source. It’s literally 13 year olds in moms basement 

13yr olds? maybe 10 yrs ago. Mostly 30+ now

[Goalie]

People with the mentality of 13 year olds. 

[Goalie]

Argos sign Janarion grant to new contract. 

[Goalie]

Here’s a question 

 

has any team signed any potential free agent receivers yet? Cuz I don’t recall any being signed yet. Couple releases league wide but no receiver signings.

Philpot, dukes, coxie, hardy, Addison, and Begelton is the biggest name. So none of the guys who would set the high water mark. But a few notable names and 1 higher tier guy. 
 I think it’s going to be a battle of who blinks first among the teams. No one wants to give the massive pay days any more, but I don’t think a bunch of teams will want to miss out either.

I still think we should just sign Lewis and Lawler...to go with Mitchell..Demski..Clercius and Wilson if he gets cut...if he lingers around there then some unknown to us yet rookie so groom....You couldn't fail going to war with that group and BO

Reddit is all over the place and many areas are full of crazies.   Mostly old liberal folks.

I wouldn’t say no to that. I’d love mccinnis. 
 I do worry we will blow too much on wr/rb/qb again. I get the desire to build that way, but I’d rather spend that money on 3 dl and 5 ol. 
 

If we really want to go 30 front full time, I’d go get one of Hendricks and ceresna. Rotating heavily on the dl with wj, vaughters, woods, Lawson, 1 of those two plus the best of Adam’s, Garbutt, fox and Jake would give us a devastating front that could collapse the pocket consistently with out blitzing.

reddit has sections with every wing and type you can name. But almost all the worst people of those groups. 

[TBURGESS]

The only folks left on X are Nazi's, Proud Boys & White Supremacists. 

Facebook is for old people who don't know how to change to Reddit & who think everything they read is true.

You know the algorithm is based on your searches and internet history.  So if you are seeing that kind of things then its based on what you look at. 

The only place that is dedicated for those kind of people is kiwi farms.   

X is pretty good because you can easily block and see only the types of things that you want to see.    When I'm on X/Twitter I only see video games and cat memes and nothing else at all.

I still use Twitter, but have it very carefully curated (as with all my social media). Bluesky is also nice but not quite as good as Twitter. FB is really just for staying in touch with family and the group chat function with buddies.

I don't see anything on X because I got rid of it when it was bought by Elon F'n Musk. 

X is run by a Nazi for Nazi's & MAGA's.  If you're still there, you are supporting them even if you don't agree with them. I'm certain you can find video games and cat memes elsewhere.

I moved to Bluesky.  I'd like it if all sports teams, government agencies, celebs (Sad but true), & businesses would move too.

What’s the difference lol. To be fair I’ve never really used twitter so idk. I think we get some sports news from it occasionally don’t we?

Qft when it comes to curating social media experience. Each one is shade of dumpster fire or another.

it’s not based on what you look at, but what you will react to, especially negatively. Social media algorithms love hate clicks. Angry people engage way more than supportive.

Are you using a Windows desktop/laptop,  Google Chrome browser, Google search,  Amazon, IPhone, Facebook, Uber, Paypal, nearly all Oil companies....... if so then you support  companies that have supported and gave money to Trump and are crazed Nazi's as you would put it.   

Have you ever purchased any product that originates from China where they source and also employ terrible slave labour conditions?    This is only scratching the very basic surfaces of many many more companies that are associated to "bad things".     I'm certain you can live your life avoiding all of this and find your alternatives elsewhere. 

 

With a take like you have... this is exactly why your internet history and social media experience is full of whack job takes.

Wait, so nobody is using Myspace?

Linux/Windows/Android, Brave, Brave Search for me. That being said, giving money to T-Rump is supporting a Nazi, which isn't the same thing as being a Nazi. Musk is a both a Nazi & a white supremacist.

Probably a good time for mods to trim the quasi Poli-talk here and get things back on track...

[Noeller]

Taking into account that it's Hodge... This is a giant "fwiw":
