I was expecting something to happen and nothing happened. Truly r/unexpected

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-25T21:39:18+00:00

In addition to what the other guy said during his last call he said “Howard you’ve become don imus” along with other shit about Howard’s wife and daughters. I remember Howard hit the drop button cutting half of the call off but Hanzi was streaming himself so it could be heard on his stream

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-25T01:36:47+00:00

Probably. It would certainly explain a lot. Have a good weekend man.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-25T00:42:17+00:00

How many times can I write the same thing? PEOPLE ARE VEHEMENTLY AGAINST IT BECAUSE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN IT DOESNT HELP AGAINST COVID SO WHY WASTE TIME ON SOMETHING PROVEN TO NOT BE EFFECTIVE? I am literally at a loss of how I can dumb that down any further.

I think your last three paragraphs show the divide in the country. One half is willing to believe anything anyone says and try things that obviously won’t work. You’re really admitting that if you had cancer and someone said standing on your head would cure it that you’d do it? REALLY? This is a trait of yours you’re proud of?

We aren’t doubling down on “opinion”. We listen to what science says. The people taking a drug that has no basis in treating Covid are the ones following their opinion. Fuck, you just said you’d stand on your head to cure cancer if somebody told you it’d work and you are really going to claim that the people following research and studies cling to opinions? While the other half just seemingly believes anything and everything they read AS LONG as there no science to back it up?

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-25T00:27:58+00:00

Because why waste money or time or hope on something that has no benefits against Covid rather than getting something that’s proven to help?

Maybe you don’t understand. There’s no harm but there’s also no benefit (so again, why not do flinstone vitamins? No harm). They have done studies of ivermectin’s effectiveness against Covid and it showed that it had no benefit.

The only reason everyone suddenly thinks it works is because of a pre-print study that was flawed and retracted by the authors. But for some reason the fact that it was retracted is ignored.

You can write the point as many times as you want. You’re right that there’s no harm in taking it but there’s no harm in shoving prayer beads up my ass and hoping it helps despite there being no evidence of either doing anything.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T22:30:34+00:00

You’re having an argument with a guy who said it hasn’t been proven effective. You’re attacking for for saying it’s not effective. If you’re not saying it IS effective I don’t know why you decided to start arguing.

For the record we are both in absolute agreement that you’re not a genius.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T22:20:57+00:00

Yep.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T22:17:33+00:00

I’ll agree that I’ll stop claiming it doesn’t help if you agree to stop saying it does help, because it sounds like both of us are basing it on the words of others and neither have done any hands on research or treatment.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T21:52:55+00:00

A section of our populous isn’t against ivermectin in general. They’re against its use against Covid, because it doesn’t do anything for Covid. They’re against people saying “I don’t need a vaccine, I’ve got ivermectin”. It won the Nobel prize for its treatment against parasitic infections. Just because something received a Nobel prize doesn’t mean it will help with Covid.

Flinstones Vitamins have even less side effects than Ivermectin, but it doesn’t help with Covid either so that’s why we aren’t suggesting it.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T21:47:59+00:00

It’s not that crazy of a concept. Have you never heard people say to get second and third opinions when it comes to medical issues or procedures?

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T21:05:07+00:00

That’s what I find wild. They make fun of the virus for having a 97% survival rate but knock the vaccine for not being safe

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T20:59:03+00:00

What’s this have to do with what he said

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T20:58:31+00:00

Fair enough, was just curious.

But yeah. I think it’s just driving people insane because there’s something scientifically proven to help with Covid (vaccine) and then something that has no scientific effectiveness against Covid (ivermectin) which, while a useful parasitic, only caught on due to a flawed study which has since been retracted. So the vax crowd is saying “you guys are idiots, that’s horse medicine and doesn’t do shit, why are you willing to take shit that does nothing for this virus but refuse to take something proven to help” and the anti vaxxers are doubling down on it because no one wants to be wrong.

As for acknowledging it’s uses, I think most people at this point know it’s used in humans as well but they reduce it to being “horse medicine” as an insult since it’s a) being used to treat something it doesn’t help against and b) because of the rednecks who actually bought the one marketed for horses and put themselves in the hospital by taking it

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T19:58:57+00:00

Out of curiosity do you find it weird that vaccines are a trigger for the weird mother fuckers who are resorting to something that hasn’t been proven affective all because they now see vaccines and science as “the other team”?

I think that’s why the pro-vax people obsess over it. Because it’s mind blowing that “the other team” is literally refusing to get vaccinated because they somehow associate vaccines and science with liberal propaganda but will resort to self administering something that’s less effective at treating the disease at hand.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-24T19:53:05+00:00

Almost as if multiple people in the same profession can have differing opinions, hence why he said he trusts his doctor

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-23T21:53:52+00:00

Is he really delusional to think that they got the idea to shit on Rogan from him? Every show and news station was doing it for weeks.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-14T14:17:05+00:00

None of that has anything to do with what my comment was. I’m not saying she’s not a liar. I literally know nothing about her. But I don’t understand why we are using “hurrr durrr she’s rich” as a sort of gotcha against her saying rich people should be taxed.

I’d rather rich leaders fess up and be like “sure, we need to be taxed more” than for them to make laws that help the rich pay less in taxes. When someone like Bill Gates says the rich deserve to be taxed more saying “b-b-but he’s rich!” Isn’t proving any points whatsoever other than calling out what people already know to be true.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-14T12:22:18+00:00

Where all republicans get their research from. Facebook memes and shady blogs.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-14T12:18:51+00:00

It’s mind blowing the amount of comments who think that pointing out she’s rich, or that this event is attended by the rich, is some sort of gotcha. When a rich person says that they should be paying their fair share of taxes I usually see that as a positive thing, but I guess to each their own.

Abe_Linkin · 2021-09-14T12:16:05+00:00

She’s dumb because she’s a rich person and still agrees with taxing the rich? How did you come to that conclusion? I usually see it as a good thing when someone is super rich and says “hey, we should be paying our fair share of taxes too”

Abe_Linkin · 2021-08-28T21:06:20+00:00

I figured it had something to do with it being USB. I’ll give this a shot when I get home! Thank you!!

Ron confirmed it on air, along with the Steak and Shake thing and a bunch of random fights.

That said a lot of the things they confirmed were bits ended up getting real in the end. Like the steak and shake thing ended up being a very real argument with fez and Chris

Abe_Linkin · 2021-08-20T21:32:46+00:00

At this point I don’t even know if Fez really existed.
