  1. Again and again, O'Toole is a magician.
  2. Unrolled https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1598853816874831872.html
  3. How soon would you allow brand-new wrestlers to compete in a varsity tournament? My local school has new girls wrestling varsity tournaments after a few days of practice, and I don't understand how this is good for retention. Should they hold off on competition until a certain status of technique, etc., is reached?
  4. Mr. Basketball. The front page has several articles that are simply reporting the facts, as you say. There is also a biased article coming from the CNN Wire. https://www.kwwl.com/news/national/hate-speech-dramatically-surges-on-twitter-following-elon-musk-takeover-new-research-shows/article_909eb974-60ba-52e9-a1d3-9f13b16b1ec1.html
  5. My previous research didn't clarify the PV article, and I'll look later. When researching that story originally and today, an overwhelming amount of stories focus on how PV is deceptive and skip the part of what is revealed. They describe how PV gets footage and interviews through deceptive practices (lying about who they are and what they believe in). They carry over that deceptive behavior to wrongly label PV's material as phony. If you look past how PV gets their videos and listen to leftists tell their own story, I hope it repulses you. As PV has grown in popularity, they are getting more whistleblowers telling the story, which is different from getting materials through deception.
  6. More crack pot studies. https://www.allsides.com/blog/wikipedia-biased
  7. Here is the left's activist. The Undercurrent https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfWDu0q3Ep7JXCcZor6l5Cg
  8. I'm incredibly grateful for PV and its findings, regardless of their deceptive methods in achieving it. Have you read what the Wikipedia founder says about Wikipedia bias being far-left? https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/
  9. What is the left's comparison to Project Veritas? It's biased to the right. It uses real video recordings of people to support its journalism. Everywhere I read about PV stories on social media, there is a leftist army that is completely dismissive of what their eyes see.
  10. None that I've found. Sites like these are promising, and then you look; the most unbiased news is still biased when you read it. https://www.allsides.com/media-bias Just the facts are unprofitable. One must read the shit on both sides and form their own opinion.
  11. Bo Maynes was an undefeated 4 timer with a 130-0 record that was never taken down in high school. He made the NCAA tournament once and was backup for several years at Oklahoma.
  12. Mine was Olympic champ and high school champ because Kansas did not have D1 college wrestling. I won a state championship at 8 years old in the 80s and didn't much care one way or the other. I dreamed bigger when meeting Senior World Teamers at the youth tournament avenue. The big USA flag. The real-life action figure standing in front of their poster with muscles bulging from a low-cut singlet. Watching the local high schoolers wrestle was also exciting. My entire family watched the Olympics every four years. None of us watched NCAAs or Worlds (perhaps no media coverage) Melvin Douglas, Kenny Monday
  13. Humanities courses are a requirement for most college degrees.
  14. Specific to wrestling, what do children dream of? Becoming an NCAA champion or becoming an Olympic champion?
  15. Cael Sanderson did not wrestle in his first World Championship hosted in Tehran, Iran, in 2002. Nobody from the USA attended. https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Wrestling/Features/2002/August/25/USA-Wrestling-decides-not-to-a-5472 https://www.trackwrestling.com/PortalPost.jsp?postId=333800076
  16. 2008 149 is the best, so I'm skipping its attention for some time.
  17. This article gets to why we can't change views in this forum https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327341#Confirmation-bias-at-work This article summarizes results from a group that surveyed 1000 students between 18-25 years of age. The majority surveyed were democrats. https://www.intelligent.com/72-of-college-students-believe-professors-influence-political-views/ The first article says these forum participants can quote facts at each and that our bias prevents us from listening and being influenced. The second article says that students believe professors have an influence in the classroom. Spot on.
  18. +1 At what age do people start standing up for what is right? Note: even the older umps under 25 can be swayed, but it is really neat to see a teenager act with confidence and control on the diamond.
  19. In baseball, making good calls is the umpire's job. Coaches can influence the umpire to change their mind when a questionable call occurs. During one game, the opposing coach told me on the side, look, I can go back to the umpire, and he will change back to my opinion. The point is that some people's opinions are easily changed in one conversation. Others take hours of exposure.
  20. I am your parent. Believe what I tell you. “Santa is real.” “God is real.” “Okay yes you are right… Santa is not real. God is still real though. Have faith.”
