@RayTheGrouch The investor bubble of the 2010s definitely made image a priority for the industry

But it's downstream from the larger tech bro/silicon valley culture. Looking and sounding the part is a key strategy of theirs Remember when they all started wearing the black turtleneck like Steve Jobs lol

What chatgpt has revealed is that a surprising large number of people want to be “seen” as intelligent, profound or insightful. Many more people than you’d assume. But they profoundly resent intellectual work or reading or study or, say, literally anything you do to get smarter

@RayTheGrouch Tangentially, wasn’t this a big part of the college admission scandal where parents were buying fake athletic scholarships in niche, and overwhelmingly white, sports? With very few exceptions, football and basketball floats the whole thing.

The whiteness of the media, means their nostalgia is never directed at the talent exodus of HBCU's after integration and the wealth transfer involved in that They shed tears for PWI's in Bumblefuck, Nebraska not making some cinderella run
Amanda Christovich@achristovichh

The reason it's harder for mid-majors to compete is NOT NIL. It's the UNRESTRICTED transfer portal. NIL and the one-time transfer rule have existed for several years. The unrestricted portal is new in the past 2 seasons. That's what allows P4 to pick off mid-major players.

This is the real problem that needs to be fixed. The NCAA needs to remove power from coaches/schools and control schedules and conferences. But you won't hear that because it's not about controlling the players.

"The system should be better in a way where we can incentivize these teams to play really good teams like us at our level because that's what the fans need." High Point University men's basketball head coach Flynn Clayman explains his sentiments about the scheduling system in college basketball on the @RichEisenShow ⬇️

Fuck them midmajors and fuck them cinderella's. The media and these schools want these players under total control so the school can make millions from them under the scam of nostalgia for cinderella teams. Naw!

51 defense contractors have merged into just 5 companies. Has this not happened for every single industry in the country? Capitalism gonna capitalism.

@RayTheGrouch I'm curious as to how you think military procurements work. In order for a company to land a contract they have to convince the military that their platform is better than their competitors

What do I keep saying? lol The manosphere keeps these hacks employed. These writers have nothing of substance to offer, so they all piggyback on this trash creating a lucrative feedback loop that benefits both groups smdh
Magdalene J. Taylor@magdajtaylor

The Theroux documentary shows how the men of the Manosphere want to be alpha and victim, patriarch and bachelor, wealthy and jobless. They want to "have it all." They want, in other words, to be a girlboss. playboy.com/read/entertain…

@MarchVeryOwn4 yup, they all just steal tech from each other and it's retroactive too, so whoever was the most recent, essentially becomes obsolete within a few years.

Good pull. They purposely lean on the language and cultural power of science-fiction and the general populace believes technology is way more advanced than it actually is Stealth in real life is not the same as the powers of a superhero in a comic book lol
Traveling Pilgrim@Metatron2026dk

@RayTheGrouch The stealth technology that went into the F-35 is from the 1990s.China, Russia, and presumable Iran have developed technology to detect them. They are still hard to spot and hit, but they are not stealth the way most people think. F-22 is even worse. Below a 1998 magazine cutout
