no matter what side you support, I find it weird when there’s these little kids at political rallies and stuff like that. Clearly their parents are planting ideas in their head and I think you should at least wait until they’re old enough and able to make up their minds on their own.

⚾ has been RIGHTLY criticized for being BORING for the reasons below. Is there any way to make it more engaging?

Pace. There is no clock in baseball, for teams and players to race against.

Action stoppages. Baseball has many gaps in action, even beyond the inaction between every out or successful base hit.

Game intricacies. Too much knowledge needed about history and fine details that announcers talk about.

Less violence. Among the major team sports, baseball has less body-to-body contact, which thanks to the television viewers have become accustomed to receiving.

Unfavorable television portrayal. The baseball field and game are not well-suited for TV. Most action comes from pitcher to batter, so the main view comes from centerfield. Then it jumps from angle to angle, with a lot of stops. The other sports have perfect rectangles for the tube.

Over-emphasized home runs. To compete with fast-scoring sports, as well as for television viewers, HRs instead of contact leads to a lot of strikeouts and standing around.

Low scoring. Broadly, scoring in baseball is low, probably behind both soccer and hockey in that realm. Modern audiences like to see scoring often.

Celebration scarcity. Baseball players and teams just don’t celebrate like those in other major team sports. Maybe it’s just part of the sport’s tradition, maybe it’s an unspoken word among players, but a little more hootin’ and hollerin’ could make fans more excited.

Lengthy games. Baseball contests are just too long, mainly in terms of time. Pro games have stretched from 2 hours in the 1960s to 3- and even 4-hour affairs today.

Overly cerebral. Attention spans went from 3 hours with the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1860 to 22 minutes with television, then 7 minutes with the internet, and down to a few seconds with social media and smartphones. Baseball is called a “thinking man’s game" perhaps not fit for modern audiences.

If you’re not white you’re just NOT seen as attractive unless you’re an extreme minority. It’s like 30% of white people are considered pretty/cute/handsome.

Whereas like 3% of non white people are considered cute and even then we’re not given priority over looks to a white person.

I have seen how us Asians (Chinese, Indian, East Asian) people typically are single and have very little dating experience compared to a white person.

I have done howdoilook questions in the past to prove it. It’s just hard for a person of colour to be considered attractive, unless he/she’s like 1 in a 100.

I feel so negative about it. In some ways we’ll have some cool things and cool inventions, but people will become crazier, like imagine the left of the future

Read daily, cook often, iron clothes, do their own laundry, uber/drive themselves to work, pay off their own bills, pay their phone bill, clean the house.

What is the purpose of what I would call "soldier boy cosplay by the Gravy Seals"?

Non USA Americans would you turn right around and leave ASAP?

LEOs how do you react if at all? What if it were minorities?

Is this liberal created stereotype false, unfair or erroneous? If so please explain, or better still, if you have a stereotypical conservative created pic / meme of a lib ❄️ I would really like to see that too!

I just realized Madonna’s last studio album, Madame X, was released in the summer of 2019. It’s been five years, and, outside of a greatest hits album and the Celebration tour, there hasn’t been a lot of new music from Madonna since.

It’s weird to be halfway through the decade already and not have any cultural impact from her. Do you think this will be the first decade where Madonna is primarily a legacy act? Or will she successfully reinvent or reintroduce herself like she’s done every decade before?
