For the sources you cite, please inform us why they should be believed. For the author of the sources, please inform of of their perfectly uncriticised and non biased background. What specific criteria do you use to determine the reliability of a source? How do you reconcile conflicting information from different sources? Can you provide examples of situations where skepticism has led to valuable insights or discoveries? How do you assess the credibility of an author or expert in a particular field? What measures do you take to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the information you share with others? Have you encountered instances where your skepticism has been challenged or proven wrong? How did you respond? What role do personal biases or preconceptions play in your evaluation of information and sources? How do you navigate situations where there is a lack of authoritative sources on a particular topic? Are there specific types of evidence or research methodologies that you prioritize when evaluating sources? How do you distinguish between misinformation, disinformation, and legitimate sources of information? Not a full stop. Just getting started with questions. Signed, Bigot Brigade

Absolute bullshit that Griffin did not get his near-fall points on Surtin in the Big12 quarterfinal. Crazy match after that to sudden victory. Crazy scramble in sudden victory and Surtin wins. -
Biden Just Confirmed Hawaii Was A Targeted Attack
jross replied to Husker_Du's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Follow the links in this article and check out the aerial photos to see that blue-roofed homes were also destroyed and other colored roofs remained. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-conspiracy-blue-items-maui-wildfires-118319149774 This article shows a red metal-roofed house that survived despite everything burning down around it. https://www.npr.org/2023/08/24/1195331310/red-roof-house-fires-lahaina-hawaii "We removed five layers of asphalt from the roof," Millikin said. He added that the new metal roof included an air pocket to allow heat to dissipate. At the ground level, they removed all vegetation along the house's dripline and added a stone buffer—a step taken to thwart not fires but termites. I have not listened to Biden's mumblings, but he could be referring to that story. There are enough elements of truth to believe the blue roof story. Blue protection from lasers is real. DEW is real. Powerful people burning out the poor to acquire more property is a repeat of history. The USA is having issues with DEW on land so a space execution seems premature. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106717 Outerspace DEW warfare is in development and perhaps China has that technology. But why target Hawaii when it would trigger a massive USA clapback? https://thediplomat.com/2017/01/how-china-is-weaponizing-outer-space/ The "laser" photos in the Hawaii DEW stories have tracked back to incidents outside of Hawaii. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3A41XX/ -
MAGA is a tricky word. Some, like me, appreciate the MAGA slogan, but this is not the same as red-hat MAGA. I've never met a red-hat-wearing MAGA, but I know many people with TDS. I don't believe I've met anyone who likes Trump, but I know many who respect his policies and business background. TDS is a blue uncontrollable contagion. MAGA is contained.

Coaches are not free, and folkstyle is high school wrestling. But why do girls wrestle freestyle, unlike the boys in college?

Tweet: 1 point red for unsportsmanlike behavior from blue. Inner drive, resolve to succeed 'in spite of', and the capacity to resist impulses are 90% of what makes success open to anyone in America. This is otherwise known as motivation, determination, and willpower. If you do not like your life, then [continuously] choose to change your life. ...but climate, money, food, time, knowledge, skills, competency, access—you name it. These are masks for "I don't want to." But X-man has resources and privileges, and it's unfair to those with less. AND? Take that weak mindset out of here. An accountable mindset does not exclude helping others and having compassion. I love helping others achieve. I hate feeding an undriven lifestyle to those that don't care to better themself. Outside of health issues and 'acts of god'... with rare exceptions, anyone can succeed if willing to sacrifice. You know what your true desires are when you go get it or die trying.

Please read Will's post in full to expand one's thinking of how travel influences more conservativism. "(Will) I firmly maintain that true global travel will turn anyone into a raging conservative. It did me." As for me personally, travel has make me more open to some social services but still largely a bill-of-rights conservative. Been to 49 USA states and about 10 countries.

Non-Binary Student Beaten In a Bathroom

Deep Thoughts This observation is overarching and not directly related to this post. It does not disrespect the sad story of the eventual student death. OP's tendency to perceive others as victims is intertwined with maladaptive coping mechanisms. We've seen its impact on perceptions in a wrestling forum; imagine the effect in person. OP likely harbors unresolved conflicts and anxieties, projecting them onto others, hindering their ability to confront their own challenges. The cycle of negative thoughts is endless, fueled by confirmation bias and shielded from contradictory evidence. It's essential to acknowledge that not everyone sees themselves as victims, and many feel slighted to be perceived in that way. Let's focus on fixing the mindset. People move forward 'in spite of' obstacles rather than fail 'because of' them. Please refrain from labeling everyone with challenges as victims and avoid characterizing contributors as bigots. Contributors may simply be frustrated with takers and redistributionists, who have the potential to become contributors if they so choose. My personal time has been encroached upon since Feb 10th, and I've quite literally worked 90 hours weekly through the early morning to meet a deadline. I missed family obligations, community commitments, an annual friend fishing trip, and lacked a colleague's assistance. Despite my requests and efforts, I couldn't secure more time and missed the deadline. I shared a sincere apology with senior leadership. I am not a victim of an evil corporation or a profit-driven society. Nope, I chose gainful employment and to fulfill my responsibilities. I don't seek sympathy; it's about maintaining an accountable mindset and making self-directed choices in my responses and actions. Choosing to see victimization in everything, all the time, is a negative choice. It's as simple as altering your mindset. 'In spite of' this challenge, what will I choose to do? This mindset doesn't eliminate sympathy, empathy, or helping others. Remarkably, it leads to better outcomes and more significant opportunities to give back. A cognitive-behavioral therapist can assist OP in identifying and changing negative thought patterns, leading to improved well-being and coping strategies. A victim heart will read this post and instead of gratitude, will believe they have been bigoted by the bigot brigade. -

By "let's play this out," you could have provided a mature response, recognized why one might misread your intention, explained... and I would have apologized. I form the wrong assumptions all the time and will do it again. -

Non-Binary Student Beaten In a Bathroom
jross replied to ThreePointTakedown's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Let's play this out. What was your original intent behind sharing the post exactly as you did? Stating a nonbinary student was beaten and died without providing any context? When I posted the video of the deceased explaining their role in the fight, still healthy, and said 'trust the news,' why did you ask a trollish question, "whose narrative?" The answer was plain to determine. Why did you ask to find an unbiased source? What is a better source than the 'victims' own video/voice? Why use this incomplete story to make a point about violence against transgendered children? -

Has the original poster acknowledged their mistake? OP consistently asks others if they will admit their errors. Some of us do admit when we're wrong. -

The Link between Age and Conservatism is Breaking
jross replied to uncle bernard's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
Conservatives promote the idea that people should take ownership of their actions, decisions, and outcomes in life. It encourages personal initiative, accountability, and the cultivation of skills and competencies necessary for success. When people take responsibility for themselves and help out in their communities, everyone benefits and things get better for everyone. There are many forms of leftism and definitions of socialism. When USA citizens deflect their overall station in life due to reasons outside their own merit, they lose my respect. Deflection from personal responsibility makes my skin crawl. I wouldn't trust them in the trenches in any facet of critical life.
