I'm gonna say it, Parton is universally respected, not universally liked... There are too many people in her original target base now that are constantly grumbling when she takes the opposite side of some of their more horrible takes on things. She also puts her money where her mouth is...seeded against Williams is damn near impossible match-up in 1st round like that.

Man...you still made some bold picks, like taking out Keanu in the 1st round. Same time I remember right before COVID I took a trip to LA and heard similar rumors about Reeves from more then one person (LA basically jus likes him too much to out him). Not that that matters, jus your post reminded me of that. BTW, I'm not convinced Faser is universally liked right now, because he certainly wasn't between The Mummy and The Whale... 1 over 16 | 8 over 9 | 5 over 12 | 13 over 4 | 3 over 14 | 11 over 6 | 7 over 10 | 2 over 15| 8 over 1 | 13 over 5 | 3 over 11 | 7 over 2 | 8 over 13 | 7 over 3 | 7 over 8 I believe there has to be some recency bias here with respect to why Ross may seem the easy answer, there's enough young people that don't know who he is right now that also unfortunately makes Martin an automatic out. Reeves is all over the place jus doing nice things while seeming humble enough to not be looking for the attention (basically being caught being normal and kind all the time) and dropping wisdom bombs. He said something the other day that floored me "if you're lover, you have to be a fighter, because how can you love it I'd you won't fight for it?" I respect anyone picking, but today he comes across as a minding his own business sort of kind, and while I respect that, you can jus feel the world gravitating to a more pragmatic approach to making the world a better place. Shaq out here making affordable shoes for kids and central figure on arguably the best sports show if all time (I have a pair for my daughter because they made nice, look nice, and hard for her to get off on her own). But Irwin takes the cake for giving his life trying to save the earth and all living things in it as we know it. Not only that, he's universally liked outside the United States and laid the ground work for his kids to carry in his conservation efforts. I've never heard a bad word about Tony Hawk, but whens the last time you heard from Tony Hawk? Foxx is criminally unappreciated so also pleasently surprises me seeing him in a universally liked seeding. Opinion...

So fitting KAT made sure this was over...happy for him. Give me Luka vs Ant...future is now...

Rainbow Killshot...

Feelings are getting actively hurt this round...

Man...only thing reasonable about this one is The Rock is the 16th seed and an easy out...

The wild ride that has been the redemption arc for Mike Tyson probably only possible in this country... https://www.reddit.com/r/howtonotgivea****/s/K64HGCrZ9F

Trying to find a nice way to show that I noticed Nats and Yankees having back to back series against the same White Soxs team...that one struggled and the other *checks notes* kinda didnt...

For switching back to team I followed first in a year following they didn't make the playoffs and all my others are teams are local? Whatever helps yall make sense of it, KD would force himself to the Dodgers, in your heart you know this to be true 😆

That I agree with...

I'm not trying to process an Israeli asasination attempt on Iranian president...so I wont...

I was a Nats fan in 2019, came back to evil empire this offseason after Soto went there (i have his away jersey with no name on the back now : ) Last Orioles World Series win was before I was born, so could be worse, I guess...any tips or wisdom on how to get though that?

Classy standing ovation in New York... It's one thing when your opponent is on historic fire, but when your MVP candidate stars player goes out for game on injury, too...brutal way to have your season end...

Damn...wellness check @Die Hard 😟

Bad game to have an off game...Brunson needs to wake up.

Cats do be like that, though...

I believe you are underestimating the amount of influence the far-right has in Israel and its not like they got into office via magic... I'm also not sure what should be the expectations for an "effective government" in an occupied territory. To make sure I'm on same page, when is last time Israeli government formally supported a two-state solution? I honestly don't know, think I Remember Bibi being open to it, but last I checked hes a hard no right now (open to correction, my point is it take two to tango, it cant jus always be someone elses fault for 50 years.

I can dig it. It was pointed out earlier a couple times in this thread that more effort on education around eating and preparing meals needs to be done. Its been trial and error adapting how much we feed our kids to keep from underfeeding or frankly overfeeding and them throwing it up (even if they like the food doesnt mean let them eat until that happens, that has happened with us before, not in a long time since). Having two under four sometimes means they get different meals (aka two different leftovers to pick from) to avoid "fighting" and them becoming scared of mealtime. Read about this and asked about this. Then they become teenagers and its hard to "make them" do anything....basically caged animals counting down days to legal adulthood. Why I empathize with efforts to make this easier for people versus overemphasis on need for them to "try harder" in regards to eating healthier. Call me compromised, I can only go so far there with a straight face. Hopeless when cadillacs are same price as shorts...(least they were when I smoked pack a day)...

I see.... You used my own link against me to make my point USDA is saying too much versus clarifying scope of the problem: I get your point, Its almost too much math to be basic and case can be made a lot of it isnt helping. Please explain. I'm not an expert, but my Pediatrician said NOT to do that with my kids: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32060806/ Whats your definition and point then? ??? We don't live on calories alone, Peter. I would die of hunger eating that for lunch.

@redskinss Well...did you look at the cat's browser history yet? I see a laptop and more shame then I expected from a cat...

Please prove this before I have to believe it. A minority of Americans in food deserts is not the same as minority of people that obese. Its estimated now 1 out of every 10 (some as bad as 1 out of every 7) child in US live in poverty....47% of children in poverty live in the south... https://www.childrensdefense.org/tools-and-resources/the-state-of-americas-children/soac-child-poverty/#:~:text=see Table 2).-,Among the 74 million children living in the United States,poverty even deeper into poverty. Arguably the most obese states in the country are either the south or midwest (depending on where you look). Before you go trying to prove this, I have concerns you don't consider this part of the problem, I never said this was soul root cause. Your meals don't make sense for a family with toddlers, what you describing as a "meal" sounds like grazing to me, honestly. We're going to need to.

I'm convinced through life experience its not that simple and gym deserts are a real ting, too: https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a34449599/fitness-deserts/

Look at you being all redistribution of wealth : ) I think we should be putting more effort into teaching healthy eating habits and how to cook (even with limited resources) in school. Algebra 2 go brrrr.... Just begs the question should more of our food be required to be healthier in how its produced with respect to it being so easy to get yet its killing us? Why is so much of our food killing us? I want to not care that people do that. I cant because I'm not convinced chipolte is actually healthy despite advertising as such. I got a veggie bowl a cople months ago, trying, I havent been back since. Something is wrong here, and its not just what we're choosing to do, its our "choices" as well..

What if he identifies as one to pay his rent?
