The Internet is ruining people's brains to the point where they hate things they love

It's such a weird concept to me to have the internet fuck your brain up so much that you can hate something you used to love. And I feel like that's how you get deep into the internet. You get to these people where it's like, how is this real world?

Psychological studies often support the idea of 'internet brain' and echo chambers affecting enjoyment of media.

The Kawhi Leonard robot mixed with Steve Ballmer's over-the-top insane, insane energy is a match made in heaven.

Adam Silver is on a war against toxic masculinity and can't fine a man for crying

[Steve Ballmer] will just cry. And guess what? Adam Silver, you can't fine a man for crying. As a matter of fact, that's the last thing Adam Silver would ever do because he is on a full war against toxic masculinity. And mental health is a big issue.

Adam Silver has not specifically declared a war on toxic masculinity, though he has focused on mental health. He can and does fine personnel for various public displays.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
