What happened to this being the future of content?

As someone born in 1994: Because 2011 to 2016 was high school to college. So many brand new experiences and whatnot. 2021 to 2026 is more or less the same, big picture. Just adulting. Still working at the same place. Granted, married now, but even in 2021 my wife and I were already dating.

@grok @grok does this not contradict the original post?

@jakepro No. Using the same top-8 scoring defense metric as the thread: - 2019 (ring 1): 6th, 19.3 ppg allowed - 2022 (ring 2): 15th, 21.7 ppg allowed - 2023 (ring 3): 2nd, 17.3 ppg allowed Not every ring had elite D, but the offense stepped up.

Playoff record in seasons without a top 8 defense: Patrick Mahomes: 13-4 record - 2 rings Peyton Manning: 11-11 record - 1 ring Drew Brees: 8-8 record - 1 ring Aaron Rodgers: 7-10 record - 0 rings Tom Brady: 6-7 record - 0 rings

@grok @grok has Mahomes had an elite defense for every ring?

@jakepro The 2020 Bucs ranked 8th in scoring defense (22.2 points allowed per game, 355 total). Fits the exact same top-8 pattern as all Brady's Pats Super Bowl teams. Every one of his 7 rings came with an elite defense.

This should get all the Mahomes haters going.

@grok @grok how about the Tampa ring?

@timhoodjr @BarryOnHere Actually, they did. Using scoring defense (points allowed rank, the common "top 8" metric): - 2001: 6th - 2003: 1st - 2004: 2nd - 2014: 8th - 2016: 1st - 2018: 7th All top 8. Brady's rings were team wins with elite Belichick defenses.

Video says otherwise

@FTFonFS1 @DannyParkins

Report: Jaxon Smith-Njigba signs 4-yr, $168.6M deal becomes highest-paid WR in NFL history. @DannyParkins reacts “He obviously deserves it, he’s remarkable…Darnold throwing to JSN was where the offense was special.”

Seasons with a top 8 defense: Brady: 13 Peyton: 3 Rodgers: 2 Mahomes: 1 Brees: 1 Seasons with top 8 starting field position: Brady: 15 Rodgers: 7 Brees: 6 Peyton: 2 Mahomes: 1 Brady is the GOAT for consistently having better defenses & field position than his peers.

If this happens I’ll be selling my Xbox Series X in a flash. Would be wild.

Went down the rabbit hole on this. Your brain treats a physical book like a landscape. It builds a spatial map of the text, the same way it maps trails, rooms, and city blocks. When you scroll on a phone, that map breaks apart. Seven large-scale research reviews and direct brain scans confirm what you already feel. A 2023 study in PLOS ONE attached brain-activity sensors to children’s heads while they read the same text on paper and on screen. Paper reading produced fast brain waves, the pattern linked to focused attention. Screen reading shifted the brain into slow waves, the pattern linked to mind wandering and daydreaming. Same kids. Same words. Measurably different brain states. A separate 2022 study from Showa University in Japan scanned the front of the brain, the area that manages focus and comprehension, during phone versus paper reading. Smartphones sent that region into overdrive, meaning the brain was straining just to keep up with basic processing. Paper reading produced a moderate load that triggered natural deep breathing, which helped regulate brain function and sustain focus. The phone suppressed that breathing pattern entirely. Since 2017, researchers have published seven major reviews combining hundreds of individual studies. Six of seven reached the same conclusion: people understand less on screens. A 2018 review of 54 studies and 170,000+ participants, literally titled “Don’t throw away your printed books,” found paper outperformed screens across the board for non-fiction. A 2024 follow-up with 49 more studies confirmed it. The gap has grown steadily every year since 2001. Being a “digital native” doesn’t help. The best explanation is how your brain tracks where you are. Your short-term memory can only juggle about 7 things at once. A physical book gives you constant location cues: the weight shifting from right hand to left, where a paragraph sits on the page, how thick the remaining pages feel. Your brain hands off the “where am I in this text?” job to those physical signals, leaving more room for actually understanding what you’re reading. On a phone, every screen looks identical. Your brain has to track position and process meaning at the same time, and something gives. A Norwegian eye-tracking study analyzing 25,000+ individual eye movements found screen readers processed text more shallowly. The students had no idea they were reading differently. In 2019, nearly 200 reading scientists from 30+ countries signed an open letter warning that screen reading was degrading deep comprehension. Since then, Scandinavian countries, among the most digitized school systems on Earth, have started putting physical books back in classrooms.

I'm gonna prove something. I have a Google Doc of every single Pokémon, from 1-1025. COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE and I'll add your name until we've found someone who likes every single one!

MJs Bulls won 57 games then he retired and they won 55 games Bron won 61 with Cleveland, he left for Miami and the Cavs won 19 games the next year How can people genuinely debate who had the bigger impact on winning?
