tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 04/10/2026LOL. Yes, let's go to a Midwestern diner. Because the left needs to do more understanding and more conciliation. Sure. I bet this sounded good in your head, huh? 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This isn't ironic (massive new thing that fails). This is, "we can profit off of anything, including disaster, because people will watch". 020
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 01/10/2026That's a big assumption that can't always hold (see, eg, the last presidential election). People often do not vote their interests and vote their culture or identity. Second, yes, if our system were different, things would be vastly different. 150
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If it's objectively reasonable to choose the bear and almost no women do, then almost all women are objectively unreasonable? 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm not mad - I'm wondering why it's an argument instead of a choice. If it's safer to not be around men, then don't be around men. You do you. Be around who you choose. I'm not at all sure why this is a debate. Go live with bears if you want. 200
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 30/09/2026What??? Old people want to limit the mobility of teens??? That's not my experience at all. Generally older and middle age folks are talking about how kids used to go do things. This is a Karen take that is priors before reality, IMO. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I fear that that works like in the example (one on one) but not nationally. One person's pain often is another person's felt-need. 150
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That's why the Supreme Court held that Biden couldn't forgive those student loans. 071
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Offering nothing or offering nothing additional? This is very poor salesmanship of a bad conservative idea: never look at what is good, look who is getting more. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Enjoy the sound of my gravel scratchy voice after 5 minutes of me talking, or suffer the indignity of me sipping fluids occasionally. Oh, the indignity. Won't someone think of people who can't watch others drink. 030
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'm sorry, but if you think there's one rule for all humans, you're disqualified as a journalist. It's not hard to respect people, people. 130
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Had to remind myself of the collarary to a house rule: no booing/ridiculing low- or mid-paid athletes/artists...which occasionally means, if you likely got paid very well then you a valid target. So, for a pet goat, that's really great! Otherwise, thanks for embodying the idea that anyone can sing! 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We should be applauding that she used her imagination to express herself and create. This shouldn't be an either/or. AI makes more people creative who wouldn't otherwise be. That's an addition to good in the world. Don't like it? (It's not my taste.) That's fine, not everything is for you. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Because Democrats gonna Democrat. They will need to be pushed, kicking and screaming, to do it. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 23/09/2026No. This is theoretical thinking without real world analysis. Anyone can be as skilled as Obama is an assumption that I really do not think is true. Anyone can do what Michael Jordan did, as long as they have what it takes! See how easy that is to make a claim about possibilities without reality? 020
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I swear that the visible community-enthusiasm for the Sounders dropped by 50% when the MLS went to Apple TV. Betting on the diehards was a great way to brush off the casuals. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Some people need sun and warmth. Seattle has neither, even if you define warmth as welcoming and friendly people. Nice has a very hard stop here and politeness is what you wield against others. 030
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Can you believe that there's a range of opinions? This isn't a place for diverse viewpoints and so it's worth sharing when we encounter them. It really is remarkable, apparently, that some people think differently than the main. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 20/09/2026People could encourage fixing things later by acknowledging words like "self coup" today. IMO, unless that's normalized, there won't be political impetus to do anything much beyond kitchen table issues. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Something can be bad and still be the best of the available options. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 16/09/2026He's one with the predator. Both are set to come at you. 010
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That is the dumbest take I've read from the left in a looong time. 000

tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You created a strawman to defeat a non threat? Why not be honest? 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I don't think that was the goal. The goal was to show what your employment looks like after discussing this in a big way. Minimizing things by changing how you characterize them doesn't actually minimize them. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026You said the dog is just there to vibe! But an autistic dog (not sure there is such a thing) would be vibing to things you're not intending. Autistic vibes are not easily compatible with allistic vibes. Stick with the vaccine issue being snake oil. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026The vaccine issue is idiotic. But, aside from job issues, it'd be worth preventing if possible. Any social being that is among other social beings but has a brain tuned for intuition on a different frequency and processes information differently is going to have a hard time. 100
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah, the idea is that it's harmless .... *right up until it isn't*. Then the problem is that it is a technology built to act more broadly and faster than people do. So, yeah, there's no realistic harm today! But what's the plan for when there is realistic harm possible? Make plans then? 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 14/09/2026What? No, I thought it's good to block any and everyone? I thought we supported and encouraged blocking. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Look at how low the expectations are: you do not, in fact, need to agree that your team sucks in a debate where the point is to convince others to join you and thereby win a popularity contest. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 13/09/2026That's how trust works. This isn't a climate issue, it's a polarization issue. 010
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Dude went for a day hike and thought he climbed Everest. 0160
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 13/09/2026In current horse race style news we've had for decades now, that is her job. And she would certainly acknowledge that. 1111
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's NPR, that's what they do. Same as with outlets you don't trust, knowing the bias will help inform you about how facts are framed and what isn't being said. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Why do you think that no women hold ANY world records in track and field that are better than the men? Why do women only outperform men when bodily advantages favor them (long distance swimming)? It's a stumper! 010
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Because if you exclude one gender, you don't grow coaches and athletes who know those bodies. Now that women are competing much more, there's now generations of experience to build on. Your example demonstrates that there is a difference. 310
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I picked what I know. It's also the most foundational of athletic competition that I know about I know there's competitive difference because the results have shown that. Not my opinion. 140

tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Lol. Her name was Zoe. I don't smoke and I would have let Zoe have at you if you burned her. 010
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Wow dude, not cool. Take that and shove it. Creating safe space for women is not cool to mock. Go think about your priorities. 200
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026What does the history of women fighting for the right to compete have to do with the fact that if we erased the women's category most elite women become average? If the history were that women fought for their own category, would you want that erased? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_M... 200
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026And that 8-16% difference means that an Olympics with no women's category would have almost no women competing at all. If this thread has it's way, so many elite women competitors instantly become average. 120
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026You haven't spent much time in high level track and field or running, huh? No one is getting paid or getting much resources until they are at the top. 110
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Let me Google that for you. Apparently chess gives it's players CHOICE. People can compete in a gender category or an open category. Sounds like this grew out of social issues, women in gaming seem to socially get under some men's skin. So women wanted a space free from men. 410
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026If reality makes you think I'm a loser, that's on you. All I've done is share comparitive performance. 000
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Sure! Chess is not the same as throwing rocks. Easy distinction. Chess involves no physical differences that I can tell. It's purely a social decision. Happy to clear that up for you. 220
tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The crazy thing is that no one here is a rock skipping enthusiast. This is an outside group, moralizing about a group we aren't a part of. I'm a runner and a man. It'd be a shame to lose womens' competition. There's some excellent competitors who almost all will be irrelevant if we combine genders 120
