Jared Young

See if you agree with my treatise on the best defensive teams in the history of MLS. Thanks so much to @jessemarsch @AlexiLalas Peter Vermes @eddie_robinson2 @pablomastroeni @DNewsPreps and Robin Fraser for the insights into these teams @AnalysisEvolved americansocceranalysis.com/home/2020/7/6/…

@enjoy_hoops @Psyentifik2 @CursiveCrow @Hoopss This plus the language in the rule book has been modified twice to be more clear. Language changes interpretation.

@JaredEYoung @Psyentifik2 @CursiveCrow @Hoopss It was never a travel. You’ve always been allowed to lift your pivot foot for a shot or pass. Guys have just gotten more creative with it over the years.

Name the player. Level: HARD

@Psyentifik2 @CursiveCrow @Hoopss That USED to be a travel and now it’s not. The transition was subtle and many missed it.

@CursiveCrow @Hoopss Yeah. The issue here is you dont know what a travel is.

@EamonatorZ @darwintojesus @kaizen000000000 If you exist, then you arrived here following events that need to be true. But you can’t prove that process.

@darwintojesus @kaizen000000000 What about atheism can be true? When was a god demonstrated to exist in the first place?

Christians How is it a flex to have 'strong faith' in something with ZERO actual evidence? 🤔 The stronger the faith, the stronger the delusion. I have more respect for someone who says they kind of believe but don't know for sure.

@Jewish_Zombie @AccountEightten @darwintojesus @JoshuaRojas19 There’s enough evidence for me that the resurrection is true. That of course opens the door to the supernatural.

@JaredEYoung @AccountEightten @darwintojesus @JoshuaRojas19 Not sure what caused the big bang? Better worship a jewish zombie born from a virgin..... Do you see how insanely retarded that is?

I’ve never seen an atheist actually prove this, they just say it. Make an argument.

@AccountEightten @darwintojesus @JoshuaRojas19 Totally fair. That’s just where my logic takes me. But that’s the key point, it’s only a path of logic. Theres no absolute proof of any world view.

@JaredEYoung @darwintojesus @JoshuaRojas19 just because you dont have an answer; doesnt mean the answer is god.

@darwintojesus @JoshuaRojas19 I beg my atheist friends to prove how we came to be, so I can stop wasting time going to church. Oddly, then never come up with anything. Actually, one admits they can’t.

@JoshuaRojas19 There’s no argument? You’re just making assertions? Well alrighty then… we can just dismiss that then

@Atomsmade @moneybren_nz For there to be love there has to be hate. For there to be purely good the pure evil must exist. I believe in God but question the level of evil He made us capable of. I know “love” to you is not real, it’s just a chemical reaction, but I think it can only be a gift from God

That's not a loving God. That's a sadist. If God *intentionally* created cancer in children, parasites that eat eyes, and endless suffering just so we could "experience all possibilities," then He's not all-loving, He's evil by design. You don't need evil to have good. You don't need kids dying in agony to enjoy ice cream. This excuse makes your God the author of every horror, then demands we thank Him for it. The world doesn't look like a perfect divine plan. It looks exactly like a cold, indifferent universe with no God in charge. Your "intention" argument just makes Him look worse. Try again.

I'm a convinced atheist and here is my drop: The world looks exactly as it should if no gods/god exist. Cold, indifferent, and brutally random. Stars explode and wipe out entire planets for no reason. Kids get cancer while rapists live to 90. One tiny rock in a sea of deadly vacuum somehow sprouts life that mostly suffers and dies. Atoms are 99.9% empty space, wasteful bullshit. Prayers change nothing. Miracles only happen in stories or blurry videos. If an all-powerful, all-loving God was running things, we’d see order, justice, and mercy. Instead we see chaos, suffering, and silence. Exactly what blind physics and dumb luck would produce. No divine architect. No cosmic parent watching over us. Just a messy universe doing its thing, and us temporary bags of meat trying to make sense of it before we blink out forever. That's reality. Deal with it.

@AntiSupernature @Atomsmade @scoshow23 @Hadsil13 If we’re giving a supernatural being super powers we can imagine they can create whatever they want. Certainly it’s a belief and can’t be proven. But the point is that “no God” is also a leap of faith at some level. I have yet to see proof of how everything came to be

@JaredEYoung @Atomsmade @scoshow23 @Hadsil13 What did God create the universe out of? Nothing? Scientists don't assert that something came from nothing.

There are more flaws in Noah’s flood story than in most of the Bible put together. It doesn’t expose science, it exposes how little ancient writers understood about the world. They say the whole Earth was covered in water, even mountains. Simple question: where did all that water come from, and where did it disappear to after? Earth isn’t hiding extra oceans in a basement. Then forty days of nonstop rain somehow floods the planet. Rain doesn’t work like magic. If that much water came from the sky, the heat and pressure alone would turn the world into chaos. Then one wooden boat holds every animal. Think about that for two seconds: lions, elephants, birds, snakes, insects, cows, termites, pandas, parasites, all in one boat. Food, water, cages, waste, disease, fighting, cleaning. Eight people handling that is comedy, not history. Then after the flood, every animal spreads back across the world. So kangaroos hopped to Australia, penguins waddled to Antarctica, sloths crawled to South America, and none of them left clear traces on the way? Ridiculous! Then plants somehow survive months underwater. Forests drowned, crops ruined, land destroyed, but animals step off the boat to a ready-made buffet? Then two of each animal restart whole species. That means extreme inbreeding from day one. Anyone who knows basic breeding knows that’s a disaster plan, not a survival plan. Then fish are expected to survive too, while freshwater mixes with saltwater across the whole planet. Many species would die fast. And if a worldwide flood happened recently, Earth should show one giant mud layer everywhere. It doesn’t. So the real lesson is simple: Noah’s flood sounds exactly like what ancient people with zero knowledge of weather, biology, geography, or common sense would write. It’s not history. It’s mythology dressed up as fact.

@Atomsmade @scoshow23 @Hadsil13 Sir you have faith that something came from nothing. And many more faith leaps beyond that. If you could prove to me your creation story I’d believe it in an instant.

@scoshow23 @Hadsil13 Faith can't tell me life exists on exoplanet Kepler 442b Faith can't tell me the number of microbes present in a glass of a drinking water. Faith has nothing to offer than delusion. That's why you can defend it without benefiting anything from it

@Brady12Clark Explain Shaedon. Agree in general. Didn’t look overwhelmed. Hung in despite a coming out party for the home team and 5-6 from Wemby. Hopefully we adjust and make game 2 close.

The Blazers lost but I still went to bed in a pretty good mood because of the play from Deni, Scoot, and Shaedon. I woke up in a horrible mood once I remembered none of this matters unless Tom Dundon is willing to spend money like a serious owner. We’re not asking for much.

@RyneJones7 @AlexiLalas I see you’re not a fan of the tailgating experience. That’s fine. Others are.

@JaredEYoung @AlexiLalas So you could eat cheaper food with friends right before driving into the parking lot

It’s a bummer. Criticism is inevitable. But like everything, it’s about messaging. If you’re going to make an unpopular change (like banning a traditional pastime of a host country) you gotta be able to explain why, and offer/articulate an alternative of value as a replacement.

@RyneJones7 @AlexiLalas Uh because eating cheaper food in the lot with friends is kind of fun?? I understand I’m not forced to but the tailgating restriction is clearly because they want to make more money. No other reason. They might not get it from you but they’ll get it from someone.

@JaredEYoung @AlexiLalas You are not being forced to buy anything at the game. When I go to games I usually buy nothing because of the prices and eat beforehand. Plan ahead.

@AlexiLalas We’re apparently not allowed to party.

Hello, Sunshine. World Cup kicks off in 57 days. (Let’s have a) party. What are we yelling about?

@chelwig54 @MLShater It’s a terrible place for packed soccer games. It can handle the NFL because people know where they’re going and the tailgating spreads out parking. If people come in at one time, it’s brutal. I went to Argentina Chile and a 1 hour drive took 4 hours to park.

@MLShater Tickets for Germany v. Ecuador are over 1k for last ten rows in the stadium. And now the geniuses running this tournament also have banned driving to MetLife stadium and can only get there by mass transit. It’s going to be a disaster

Sure Holden, let me pay $4,000 to see USA vs. Paraguay 🤡

@GMottaTV He’s in the middle of a negotiation. He can’t give any leverage to the city by promising something to the fans. His intention is to stay. If the city doesn’t help then maybe they walk.

Sometimes you just gotta ask straight up... Are you keeping the Trail Blazers in Portland or not? #RipCity

@theoqb1 @PhillysFinest7 @FordsFootball @PrepRedzonePA Great weekend. Team battled. So so close.

Had a good weekend with @PhillysFinest7 we lost in the championship but im proud of my whole team and how we stepped up. 12 Touchdowns on 16 drives 5-1 Record Runner up @FordsFootball @PrepRedzonePA

@MaxBretosSports There’s some inherent belief from somewhere that we have to play progressive soccer. The talent isn’t there to make a run playing that way, and the humility is lacking to play pragmatically to give us a chance.

Remember at 2022 World Cup, United States 🇺🇸 had the 2nd/3rd youngest team and 2026 was going to be the arrival? What happened with that?

@SleeperBlazers You had me until #9. Murray doesn’t have a role on a playoff team. Can’t truck 26% from 3 out there forever.

My ranks (Based on potential peaks) : 1. Deni - Star 2. Clingan - Star 3. Sharpe - Star/Scoring Leader 4. Toumani - 3&D Specialist 5. Scoot - Dynamic PG 6. Sidy - Dynamic Spark 7. Yang - Offensive Hub 8. Vit - Sharpshooter 9. Murray - 3&D Role Player 10. Wesley - Guard Spark
