The Olympics never had that same feel after the Cold War ended. Remember in 1992 when they had the "Unified Team?" War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

I never watch TV anymore, I watch mostly YouTube. You watch sports because it deadens your brain, it's jerking off for the mind. It feels like you're accomplishing something but you're actually accomplishing absolutely nothing except wasting what's left of your life. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I am amazed how much YT has replaced TV as I do near the same. Every now and then I may get Hulu or something from the firestick and binge a month or two on older stuff. But I watch the Crypto news every morning, the auto news midday, and other regular stuff. They do at least as good as the news has done. I want to find a YT show like "Bulls and Bears" was 20 years ago when they actually talked investing and not all politics. I even yanked Netflix a year or so ago, was just seeing the same suggestions over and over. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

YT has true a la carte viewing (so far). Maybe they will ruin that eventually. Cable TV selling packages is one thing I really hate. They push channels I don't even want, but end up with them in order to get others I do want. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Not even close to his biggest ‘changed mind’. EB admits to voting for Obama first term. He changed his mind on Obama subsequently. |
