Most people use the term Science Fiction in a colloquial manner that means anything that has fantastical elements.

This also presumes that aspects of the root cause are changeable. I grew up with a guy who became an incel in the pure sense, not political sense.

The poor guy was hit with the ugly stick very badly, and then had an accident that left him partially disabled.

When puberty hit and everyone became horny assholes, he had a double whammy of being a horny asshole too, but getting ignored (at best) or out-right derision from the teen girls he expressed interest in. He was also self-aware enough to both know that he was a hypocrite because he only wanted to date an attractive woman, and that he understood that goes both ways (societally and biologically) so he went into a cycle of vocal self-loathing.

You can guess the rest. Those behaviors compounded and altered his personality to the point he was no longer the happy go lucky ugly ass dude and was now the guy who was just as ugly on the inside as the outside and no one wanted to be around that negativity.

I have no idea what happened to him after college as I never went back to my HS town after my parents moved away from it. I would like to think he is doing better with age and therapy, but I doubt it.

And the logo is a scorpion for some reason?

I also fell asleep in the third quarter, but google tells me it was a 19-3 win for the Red Stallions.

Steh auf!

I’ve been in multiple fantasy football leagues over the years that have had teams named “Orange Line Jumper”.

I am checking into a game time bot that will update a post in real-time. Not sure it will be ready this week.

I guess Gregg Williams was inspired by Ted Lasso and went to England?

No, but doctors are generally empathetic people. When I turned 45, I needed the exam for the first time. When I was bottomless and bent over the table, I told my doctor that I was very nervous about it.

He said to just try and relax and he placed a hand on my right should to reassure me. When the exam started, I said I was still nervous and so he placed his other hand on my other shoulder to continue to reassure me.

It’s one more, isn’t it?

I always wonder how long a fresh coat of paint stays clean there. Every picture I’ve seen has moldy and flaking paint.

Is Mattlanta going to be a thing again? I’m here for it.

 

I've been hearing about this show for a while, mostly via ads on NFL podcasts that I listen to. Has anyone actually watched it yet? Knowing how crazy some of the games were last season, I suspect there is some juicy stuff in there from the Falcons. I just want to see what people think before deciding whether or not to dive into the series.

I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to manually click into their community to block them.

Does the fediverse support regex use to block? I can’t find it anywhere. For example, if I don’t want to see anything related to “Bork” I would like to be able to use that regex to block all the “Bork” related communities (Bork, ActualBork, BorkinSmork, SmolBork, BorkCirclejerk, etc. ). Is this possible?

 

Buried in this story about new luxury boxes is the very important news that MB hot dog prices will be lowered to $1.50. I guess Blank finally went to a Costco.

 

It was refreshing to see a take the recognized just how bad Mariota’s passing fame was and that it affected the young star players last year. Especially as they saw the improvement with Ridder in the final four games.

I don’t believe in year to year momentum, but it is a good indicator that the front office is not just blowing smoke by sticking with Ridder as a Tannehill-esque upside for Ridder.

 

Two teams enter. One team gets to break the streak by winning. Right now, the Falcons have a healthy overall win record against the Panthers. Especially at home. Let’s hope that trend continues this season.

 

ESPN continues their skeptical narrative about the Smith/Fontenot Falcons. I personally think they are wrong. Especially when so many articles still mention Lamar Jackson. It’s clear that much of the national media don’t get what the Falcons are doing and that Ridder only needs to be a top-half QB not a top-5 QB.

 

Let's hope Ridder is on the right side of the Dalton line this season.
