This is quite the graph from a new retrospective cohort study in Neurology: “In conclusion, football is the leading cause of sports-related traumatic brain injury in children and young adults, and its risks are amplified by institutional promotion despite decades of accumulating evidence of harm.”
Figure one: age breakdown of traumatic brain injuries by activity. The graph clearly shows that American tackle football has the highest number of traumatic brain injuries.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Chicago police ran a black site no one knew about. Lawyers and family didn’t know where the their clients/family members were. It’s the same apparatus. It couldn’t happen unless this already existed, not to mention people disappeared throughout US history.

Such a narrow minded definition. A lawyers primary purpose is to advocate for their clients best interest by any means necessary (within bounds). At the core a lawyer is a “special-purpose friend” who adopts another’s interests as her own. LLM’s are structurally incapable of doing that.
