History major here. Do you honestly think that is an accurate portrayal of how society as a whole reacted? Because, wow... it's wildly inaccurate.

Woah...flex check.

You don’t think there are a lot of parallels with the way people react?

You have no scientific evidence to Back up anything You just said. Enjoy drinking your mikes hard lemonade.

What's your beef with Mike's Hard Lemonade? Yeah, it's a girly drink, but the black cherry one isn't too bad.

I don't disagree that there are a lot of similarities in the reactions. My disagreement is that society largely just ignored the Black Death and went about life as usual. It resulted in wide sweeping societal changes.

well, psychology would say that he isn't comfortable with his masculinity to say something like that.

also sounds like a person who thinks they're never wrong, and will believe whatever the right's competition says.

I get that people don't want to be stuck in their homes forever, they want to be able to get back to a somewhat normal life. That's perfectly understandable. But damn, at least be responsible about it.

 

Its like I've said.  The longer this thing goes on, the less compliance you are going to get out of people.  The less concrete and realistic the goals of getting back to normal, the less compliance you are going to get out of people.

You can fight it all you want, but that's reality.

my new favorite thing is going to be seeing all of these reports of large gatherings / people going back to normal / having fun - only to never hear of any sort of mass outbreak or spike in numbers.

report after report, video after video, then silence. no mass outbreak or spike to follow. but before anyone can be called out, a new video will surface.

rinse, repeat. this thing is heading in a positive direction for the time and people are still trying to stir poo up and keep the misery going lmao.

I really wish the world was this pipedream. Sadly, it's not.

      Big changes coming

      By MechaZain · Posted

      I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.

      There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring.

      I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
