Come on children you’re acting like children every generation thinks it’s the end of the world

Hey one’s gotta be right eventually

Listened to this live and it was hilarious! They asked him what fashion he’s like to bring back, and he said hooks, but that would mean someone had to lose a hand, so he settled on swords, and different kinds of swords for the occasion!! Was pure gold!

Yeah, but they won’t be able to brag about it to the next generation…and that’s all they really want.

 

[volbeast33]

For example: it's not always the loudest and strongest frogs that mate. Genetically inferior and younger frogs often mate by being smart. They get close to a loud male, intercept females on their way, and pretend they're the big tough guy they came to see.

I forget the term for it, but it's a reference to how in the days of yore the court jesters often fathered many royal children because while all the royal men did macho things and got drunk and distracted at gatherings the jesters would swoon the women.

That still happens today…. The alpha male doesn’t work for it bc the chicks come to him….the nerdy guy pulls out all stops.

 

[BarnesIsCaliparisDaddy]

I don’t care what anyone says, I love this guy

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yeah, I’m sure there weren’t any dumb warnings back in the 80s. I was talking about why they don’t go into how to tune the valves on modern cars

Yeah. We had the ones about not using bubble wrap as a flotation device. That was a classic. Stupidity knows no generational bounds.

 

[Rizzo924]

Every generation has always called the newer generation pansies.. somebody said the same stuff about our grandparents generation decades ago

For the most part, I’d say it was always true.

SEC Media Days 2022: Preseason bowl projections for every team

TAMPA BAY — NC STATE VS. TENNESSEE

(Photo: Calvin Mattheis/Knoxville News Sentinel)
Formerly known as the Outback Bowl, this game in Tampa pits two teams with extremely high expectations. NC State is a borderline top-10 team with one of the nation's most favorable schedules after nearly winning the ACC Atlantic last fall. With 17 starters back including one of the nation's top quarterbacks in Devin Leary, this could be a special season in Raleigh for the Wolfpack. And Tennessee oozes with confidence heading into Josh Heupel's second season as a potential second-place finisher in the SEC East behind Georgia. Should the Volunteers play here, that likely means an eight-win finish and top-tier spot in the SEC East race.

 

[Devo182]

Yep, but much easier than they were a hundred years before that, and so on…

Exactly.

All those folks that never endured slavery, whether in America or England or anywhere else...geez...so soft

Probably because society has gotten progressively softer with more pansies for 80 consecutive years.

It's not just talk when you can look at your grandparents life and objectively see things were tougher back then.

It’s not the people. It’s the environment.

America has advanced so far, so fast, that people can’t adapt to it. People innately need something to bitch about. Even the poorest Americans have it better than 95% of the human population. When you have nothing of substance to bitch about, you invent things to bitch about.

This isn’t new. It happened in rome. Life there became so boring and stale with luxury that they inadvertently collapsed their entire civilization from within.

 

[Devo182]

If each generation has to “be as tough” as the last we have failed as a species.

And much of it is nothing more than sensibilities.

People from the 1900-1970s believing baseball should be some purely wholesome, gentleman's game without celebration...doesn't even make them softer necessarily. It is a different opinion.

That's what I don't get about many recent attacks against varying opinions. It's as if "if someone doesn't agree with my set of sensibilities or what one ought to be sensitive about, then they're "soft""

I mean...maybe that is the true weakness, in and of itself. The inability to accept varying viewpoints.

So is the former Outback bowl (Tampa Bay bowl) now bigger than the Citrus? It looks like they list the bowls in ascending order and have us guesstimated to the second highest non-playoff bowl for which an SEC team is eligible (trailing only the Sugar).

Grade of slaw applies, of course.

In nature, in very small communities, sure. There can only be one alpha.

But human environments rarely ever work that way and we can rise above such basic thinking as well. We also shift roles and are more dynamic than animal communities. One can be in an alpha role in one environment and not at all in many others. Regardless, alpha roles are so rare because only one exists in each.

Would also be a false dichotomy to say alpha vs nerdy, as if they are opposites. The intellectually superior are alphas in many scenarios in human environments.

I hear that. Pretty cool they're already using the VOLS stadium letters in their designs. I kinda like the plain white sweatshirt a lot, must remind me of the 80s-90s.

They're all kind after you pet them...

In nature there are no alpha wolves. Subsequent studies have only observed that behavior in captivity (which is where the 1947 study occurred.) The philosophical question then becomes, "how much of an alpha can you be if you aren't even free?"

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Always pet the kind bears.

Be sure to feed them too. If you have food to give them, they'll know you're friendly and they won't be hungry either. A great way to avoid them coming after you or seeing you as a threat.

 

[Jackcrevol]

ive found it best to box them on the nose, esp Kodiaks.
