It's funny how covid was this big unprecedented historical event but they're never going to make any movies about it because it would make everyone look retarded
@Sam_n_Eggs@espn Reading comprehension must not be a strength for you. I didn’t say you were making fun of anyone. I indicated your attempt at a joke was at the expense of the victims involved in the Sandusky scandal. Imagine going through that as a child & logging on Twitter to see these “jokes”
@PitcherList Surely you understand the difference between revenue and net income. In your scenario, that owner is not taking home anything close to $4 billion.
Time to draft a fantasy football team that will be the primary driver in determining my happiness and overall disposition to family and friends for the next 5 months. This is the way god intended life to be lived.
Social media was one of the biggest scams ever sold.
A perfectly happy woman can scroll Instagram and suddenly convince herself she’s living the wrong life.
She sees influencers traveling the world, wearing designer clothes, carrying $10,000 handbags and stepping onto private jets.
Suddenly her stable marriage feels boring.
Her husband feels “cheap.”
Her normal life feels like she settled.
Then she starts picking apart everything he does.
“He doesn’t take me anywhere.”
“He doesn’t spoil me.”
“He’s not ambitious enough.”
“He’s not like those men.”
Eventually, she starts wondering if she married the wrong man.
But here’s what she forgets:
She’s comparing her real life to someone else’s carefully manufactured highlight reel.
The vacations are curated.
The relationships are curated.
The bodies are edited.
The homes are staged.
The lifestyles are sponsored by men who rent these “influencers” aka escorts strategically presented for attention.
You are not watching reality.
You are watching a performance designed to keep you watching.
And comparison is the business model.
Because a woman who is content with what she has is harder to sell to.
But make her feel inadequate?
Now she needs the new handbag.
The new body.
The new vacation.
The new house.
The new lifestyle.
And eventually, maybe even a new husband.
They don't need to convince you that your life is terrible.
They only need to convince you that someone else’s life is better.
Then you’ll do the rest.
You’ll create the dissatisfaction yourself.
The algorithm profits from your insecurity, your comparison and your constant need for validation from strangers.
Stop comparing your real marriage to someone else's curated feed.
Be grateful for what you’ve built.
And before you let strangers on the internet convince you that your husband isn't enough, remember who actually lives that life with you.
Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.
@JeffPassan I want your explanation as to why you haven’t commented on the Mark Walter story, arguable the biggest news in the sport right now. Oh wait, that’s right, you’re owned by the Dodgers. Unfortunately, that check might not clear this time.
