What "Choose Your Own Adventure" books in the 80s were for me then, Wiki is for me know.

If it weren't for work and this place, I'd be turning pages there all day.

I can't remember the last time I saw the phrase "Choose Your Own Adventrue". WOW

That's a throw back

This always happens to me. I love reading about Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. I know the leaders of Nazi Germany better than I do the leaders of the USA.

Personally I think interracial relationships are a bad idea but I don't think it should be illegal.

You don't say...

Please. The USA is one of the most racist countries in the world and has been for a long time. The Nazis were working with the Japanese for a common goal when the USA propaganda machine was calling the people rats and trying to brainwash its citizens into racist attitudes toward east asians while throwing the japanese people living here in concentration camps of their own.

Also I recommend you read about Jesse Owens who was a black man who participated in the 1936 Summer Olympics that took place in Nazi Germany:

The participation of Jesse Owens was controversial because of his race, at a time when segregation and discrimination against black people was a normality in much of the United States. Once in Berlin, Owens was able to freely use public transportation and enter bars and other public facilities without the difficulty he would face as a black man in the United States.

On reports that Hitler had deliberately avoided acknowledging his victories and had refused to shake his hand, Owens recounted "When I passed the Chancellor he arose, waved his hand at me, and I waved back at him. I think the writers showed bad taste in criticizing the man of the hour in Germany.” He also stated "Hitler didn't snub me—it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram." While Hitler did not personally congratulate Owens, he did not congratulate any other athlete (including those competing for Germany) after the first day either, in accordance with IOC guidelines that he should maintain Olympic neutrality. Hitler did, however, leave the Olympic Stadium just before another African-American athlete, Cornelius Johnson, was set to receive his medal.[8] Journalist Siegfried Mischner claims Hitler did shake Owens' hand behind the honor stand and that Owens carried a photo in his wallet. Although it can not be verified as he is the only witness still living, Mischner stated that "The predominating opinion in post-war Germany was that Hitler had ignored Owens. We therefore decided not to report on the photo. The consensus was that Hitler had to continue to be painted in a bad light in relation to Owens."[9]

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
