The one thing doesn't make the other true. Yes, a lot of missing persons cases will fail to get nationwide attention regardless of the victim's race. There are too many missing persons cases for all of them to be nationwide news, just like there are too many mass shootings for them to all be nationwide news. The ones that are chosen to get that level of attention very often, perhaps even exclusively, have primarily white victims.

That's where the problem lies, non-white lives are treated as less than. Is there a case of a non-white individual who was killed/kidnapped that's even more of a mystery and more of an interesting story than this one? Well, we don't know, because those stories don't get told in nationwide news stories. There are dynamics that make this story more interesting than the average missing persons story out there, but race is absolutely the deciding factor in whether or not a news network will actually "investigate" the story.

As I pointed out, 466 indigenous women went missing in the same state over the last ten years. Isn't there probably some very interesting story there? Isn't there something there that should demand more news and police attention? 466 women went missing over 10 years, but we don't know if their stories are "interesting" or not because they are non-white and so no one has looked into it to the degree those women deserve.

Well, if I would provide a counterargument, I would ask this. Who is more likely to get national media attention right now? A black man who got shot by police or a white man who got shot by police? The media panders to whatever audience is going to give the larger reaction. Just as people of color would get more worked up hearing about another unjust police shooting, it's very possible suburban white people are the most likely group of people to be interested over a movie-like mysterious disappearance story.

Let's not forget, this specific issue is a media problem first and foremost. They decide what to cover and what not to cover.

Let's not forget that there are a lot of missing white women who don't get this kind of attention either. I think there are other dynamics as to why this story got popular besides just the color of her skin.

When it comes to Avatar, there are simply two types of people in the world. Those who have watched the series and love it, and those who haven't watched it yet and wonder what all the hype is about. It took me years to convince a friend of mine to watch it. He insisted he did not like animes or cartoons and it looked stupid. Literally took like 4-5 years, but finally got him to watch it, and of course in no time at all he was hooked and it became one of his favorites.

The argument is that second hand smoke has been proven to have a negative effect on other's health. It's no longer just a personal issue when it effects others. Take the current COVID pandemic as clear example of that same issue.

Lions are gonna lions. Packers offense is just fine. It's gonna score some points.

The defense is a bit of a concern though. There's nothing there that wows me at all. Not a good pass rush or pass defense. Run defense isnt that impressive. Yes, they've played well in the second half, but this is a defense that's gonna need to keep improving to make us any kind of contenders.

Yeah, my pop music knowledge is stuck in 1999-2009, with maybe only the most popular stuff from 2010-2015ish. I have absolutely no idea who is popular today or what songs. If I were to listen to a current top 40 countdown, I'm not sure I would know any of the songs.

Damn, that's a hard fall for Seymour after those high placements recently. With his continued improvement, it seemed like he might have won this year.

That's a nice thought, but with only me and charon maining him this year, it was definitely going to be a down year for him. During his very strong run recently, there have been at least one or more additional people maining him. I was still hopeful for top 20 at least, but it is what it is.
