Let’s raise the game of the discussion above single minded tribalism. Let me toss out one of the thousands of studies that show that there is danger in communicating rhetoric. Ready? I doubt you are because a few of you did what the studies show. 

The attitudinal or behavioral outcomes of media use can be expected to influence selection of and attention to media content. This process can be conceptualized in terms of mutually reinforcing spirals akin to positive feedback loops in general systems theory. This reinforcing spirals perspective highlights the need for longitudinal modeling of mutually influencing media selection and effects processes; study of the impact of such processes in youth and adolescent identity development; and analysis of social and psychological factors that control, dampen, or eventually extinguish the influence of such spirals. This perspective may also, more speculatively, be extended to address the maintenance of social identity for political, religious, and lifestyle groups. The relevance of a reinforcing spirals model to theories including spiral of silence, agenda-setting, framing, cultivation, selective attention, and uses and gratifications is also discussed.

Phone isn’t cooperating, but the block above the APA citation is not my original work, but a copy of the abstract. 

Wubsy! I am doing great thank you for asking <3

I agree. He's an admirable UA student. 

Yay!

You found someone? That's a feeling that you deserve ma'am. 

Man dude has not clue what subtle is.

Yas!

No, the more you say you are an adult, the more toy stores die. Pls .... stop!

Nope. Not easy at all. The remaining three teams all were built very deep. 

Birb!

He talks about that in his About Me

@Blazelicious Why in heavens name does age have to do with a person liking a cartoon? That’s kinda absurd. I turn 42 this month and no one is ever going to tell me what I can watch on my devices and TV and enjoy. This site have quite a few my age and a few older so ... I suggest that you drop it. K thnx 

Also Moon landing is why Fhaolan likes BSG and Buck Rogers confirmed! He was weaned on space!

@Captain Clark you mean an entertaining game not a good one. Each punt means the Defense kicked ass. I’m biased since my top five favorite players are Linebackers and Safeties, but balance can be boring too. Most of those play calls by the DC were brilliant with each DC almost perfectly anticipating 3rd down calls from the offense. Even with Goff holding back until the mic drop didn’t stop it, even though that was a great attempt at trying to get the Parts D out of their head.

Oh and it was a VERY clean defensive game. Very few penalties on D and no real unsportsmanlike moments. This is old school football that I grew up watching. 

Congrats. I’ve said this before, I live for good defensive games and this was a crazy good defensive game. So many drives killed by stellar plays on the ball! Many people who have become used to offensive affairs will hate this game, but like a pitching duel in MLB I quite loved this one.

No! 

Poor doggos 

Oooh. I want pie!

Oh man. Madison watches that just for background atmosphere 

happy trees with happy birbs 

Wait. Three hours ago D:

Distract yourself with music or games? Sometimes works for me. Also going out back and throwing rocks at glass bottles, screaming into a pillow, and finding a reason to art helps. 

Pretty good in general. 

Just sitting her putting together projects for my classes that start in 10 days and also randomly trying to learn how to read sheet music.
