yeah. anybody that took public speaking 101 knows that the attention span of your audience is about 7 minutes at best.

It's even worse if you're sitting at home in front of a screen watching somebody talk into a camera.

At firearm safety classes you try to lecture a little, then ask your students questions to regain their attention. Like mini pop quizzes.

At Squadron Officers' School, we had several speeches to research, prepare and present.  If memory serves, we were limited to 5 minutes per speech.  I would have my slides on the PC & displayed on a large TV (this was in the 80s, so i was the only one who didn't use butcher paper!).  i would place my watch next to the mouse with a list of topics and times.  That way I could check how I was doing time-wise each time I went to the next slide.  We all practiced over the weekend with each other to get feedback and to rehearse.  Since going over time was an instant Fail, students would help each other during the presentation by giving 'hurry up" signals when we were close to the 5 minute mark.

Even at 5 minutes, it was difficult to keep everyone's attention.  I could tell some were off in space within the first minute!   :geekdanc:

There was this one girl at work who would take pictures of me if I fell asleep at the computer.
They enjoyed making fun of us old guys. Some cousins posted pictures like that for Father's Day.

At Times market yesterday there was a shopping cart with many empty Bud cartons.
I also see many empty Bud cartons and cans at the park.
It looks like people here in my neighborhood don't really care about boycotts.

Some people will only drink what they are have grown accustomed to, which often means the brands they choose are in 99% of bars and stores -- thus ensuring they can always buy it no matter where they are.

it's the same with Coca Cola drinkers.  When they ask for a Coke, and the server asks if Pepsi is okay, about half the time they will pick something else like water.  Some do it because they really don't like the other soda's flavor, and others do it to make a statement - that the business needs to carry what they like or lose a sale.  Soda and alcohol have huge markups in restaurants and bars, so losing a sale cuts into the profits.

Bud Light executives LIED to the public about the business relationship (or to hear them tell it "lack of any relationship") they had with Mulvaney.

Also, the amount of money paid to him was not "four or maybe five figures" as reported by the intermediary marketing company Captive 8.  He was paid $185,000, which kind of debunks Bud Light's story that they only sent him "one can" with his face on it "as a gift", and that there never was any marketing campaign involving him.

Interesting to see how Crowder's investigative team unraveled this mess and shows how the media pushed the misinformation and lies in order to gas light conservative into believing the boycott was (a) not effective and (b) based on a non-existent Bud Light agreement with Mulvaney.

Never trust anyone with something to lose or gain when they tell you something that doesn't pass the smell test.

Dylan paid $186K (IIRC) for this. But pays $100 million to UFC to rebrand. People with money buy the stock as it tanked. Then will sell once it goes up again later. 4D chess.

Are you saying Dylan paid someone, or someone paid Dylan $186K?
