or you could not yap online at all, have better mental health, and have significantly more time to devote to actually being productive. But that's not fun.

this, find organizations that need people, offer help, there are people who need your help, and what you do CAN impart change.

Yapping online, historically, one of the least useful tools to convince people.

it should be inspiration, a model to base the rest of your life on.

public speaking works.

I don't know what to tell you, get out there and start talking to people, start talking with your representatives, make a case for what you believe in.

Stop yapping and moping about shit online, go do some real work.

Literally all we need is strong public speakers.

and then bapping them in the face afterwards, truly the most heinous of criminals.

that is the face of a criminal

that could be true, the opposite is true for people in larger vehicles though, you feel safer driving in a larger, higher vehicle, which is true, but the problem is that you're more dangerous to other drivers on the road as well.

yeah, the irony in protective gear causing more damage is due to players quite literally just impacting harder in general. You wouldn't want to do it without any protective gear, and you wouldn't and if you did impact, it was a lot more gracefully.

Though it makes sense misuse of them would also cause problems lol, reminds me of the DOT standards for motorcyle helmets, utter dogshit standard, and you should basically just ignore it, but it's also "technically better than nothing"

ok i see, i know that spots have changed over time, i'm just not really sure how they've changed. Obviously football has a lot of protective gear now, though it's debatable how well it works.

The sport was extremely dangerous at the time because of the way mass formations of players would impact into each other at full speed. More rule changes were needed to make it safer, and the field was made wider to give more room for players to run around the other team instead of ploughing through.

is this rugby or the variant of it known as american football?

yeah, most sports include increased rates of brain damage, weirdly enough, but to my understanding, as somehow who doesn't know much about sports, rugby is just football (the american one) but with more contact and less padding afaik. Is that accurate?

I don't have a problem with people voluntarily giving themselves brain damage, i think, but it's definitely an odd problem to have.
