Because the idea that your success and well-being might in some part be down to luck is too big a pill to swallow for some people. Folks love to flaunt success despite the disadvantages they faced, but are so quick to reject that they had any advantages. In this case maybe not everyone wants to be just like you (not you you but them you lol). Maybe they don't want your friends and your lifestyle, or somehow don't have as much access to those, but they still want a halfway decent support system.

What gets me is that it feels like whenever you try to express, in person or online, there are a lot of people looming to say "Well I feel fine and I have friends I can talk to, so it's actually not that you're a man that is the problem here. You should work on yourself instead of blaming others."

Thanks, wish I'd found this earlier.

Did some searching. You're referencing a podcast in which known propagandist and liar Tucker Carlson claims that an anonymous source of his implies the NSA broke into his Signal messages. Wish you'd qualified that in the post because that's important context.

Don't you think it's way more likely that the guy blew his cover some other way? Googling hotels near the Kremlin or something? You know, because he's a dumbass?

Is there any reason to believe the message and sender can be read from the data sent to the push service? From my understanding, that should still be encrypted.

I think the adjustment to the new format will make for a few deep dark horse runs from underdog teams.

Thanks for the list! Sharing this with lazy friends.

The American system may not be terrible from a sporting perspective, but the politics is awful. Top-flight teams can be run poorly for years with basically no consequences, and if your team is uncompetitive then the fans just have to deal with that until your team fixes itself. In a pyramid system, your team at least drops to a tier where it will be competitive again.

  1. I'm afraid of this creating complicated offsides calls brought about by a defender standing still with legs spread and then simply lifting the rear foot to trap attackers. It's a funny image but probably valid for set pieces.

  1. Refs should have the power to consider the context of the game when enforcing or not enforcing the rules. I agree that there are areas of the rulebook that ought to be more objective, and I agree that the refs are too often failing to be fair in their decision making, but a completely objective rulebook with no grey areas would mean players' professionalism would have to be so much higher than is reasonable to expect, especially of younger players. In other words the ref should be able to verbally warn a player who is being a dumbass, and then card them for a similar offense if they don't stop.

Ok, I think I misinterpreted yout comment to mean VPNs are not necessary. Thanks for the clarification.
