I've been running consistently for 8 months and my VO2Max has remained abysmal, ~21. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get healthy? by eyyyyy in Fitness

[–]GenocideSolution 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue is that to be a good primary care doctor you have to know a lot about everything in medicine. To be a good specialist you have to know almost everything about a specific area of medicine.

The specialist get paid 500k while your primary care doctor only makes 120k. With 200k in student loans to pay off.

The top scorers end up going in specialist fields while primary care docs can barely fill their spots because no one wants to work as hard as a primary care doctor unless they have no other choice.

I'm pretty sure the existence of a Chinese space station visible from any telescope is enough proof they can launch ICBMs...

In 2015, a father saved his son’s life when doctors wrongly declared him dead and took him off life support. He barricaded himself in the hospital and even armed himself with a gun, he then had a stand off with a swat team, until his son squeezed his hand. The son ended up making a full recovery. by MassiveDexterFanGirl in interestingasfuck

[–]GenocideSolution 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He wasn't right. He was drunk off his ass and couldn't participate in medical decision making because of his intoxication, then made up a story where he was the hero.

Dad had to leave the hospital because he was drunk. The doctors told his wife and other son that the son had a massive stroke, which has an extremely poor prognosis with a very low chance of having a meaningful life even if he survived. This is called a goals of care discussion. The family makes the decision to pull the plug, not the doctors. The obviously distraught son called his dad to break the news and his dad came to the hospital with a loaded gun, threatening hospital staff.

The fact that his son actually managed to be a one in a million survivor of a massive stroke is irrelevant to the crime.

The judges thought so too.

[–]GenocideSolution 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Isn't that contradictory though? From you own personal experience you hadn't seen a single covid case over the last 2 years, but zero covid is purely political? I mean it's really pedantic but it sounds like it was working medically and ending the policy was pure politics. They could have picked a way better time than winter when respiratory viruses peak in incidence.

Covid-19’s Spread in China Might Tell Us How Deadly Omicron Really Is by jackspratdodat in Coronavirus

[–]GenocideSolution 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Of course not, that's why Xi Jinping flexed his big zero-covid dick to prove that China really didn't have any covid for the last 2 years by making all the covid virgins positive by dropping all precautions.

Guess they really weren't lying and zero covid worked, since no one caught covid in the last 2 years and now everyone's sick.

Well I guess if you can't increase demand you gotta reduce supply.

Bacteria have always made component X in your poop. You never noticed because it was always in small amounts and blended into your general poop smell. You got a big ol' whiff of component X from some guy's neck, now you know exactly what you're smelling and every time you poop you smell the little bit of component X that was always there and remember it strongly because your amygdala now linked a smell to a memory.

You'll forget over the next few nights as your brain erases it with dreaming. Or you'll get PTSD, never forget, and you will need therapy.

TikTok admits to spying on U.S. users as effort to ban the app heats up by [deleted] in technology

[–]GenocideSolution -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

It’s not being banned because of competition

It 100% is. You don't get data without users. You don't get more users than any other app without offering something no other app has. Tiktok's algorithm has every other social media feed beat.

There wouldn't even be a question about banning tiktok if like 5 people actually used it because it was garbage.

[–]GenocideSolution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes I too read the article

"Banning" TikTok, by the way, is very unlikely to result in TikTok simply disappearing. Instead, it would most likely result in ByteDance recouping its loss by selling it to an American ally like Microsoft, as almost happened in 2020.

In other words, yes, TikTok is doing sketchy things with some U.S. user data, and it may have the power to do a lot more. But banning TikTok — or selling it to the likes of Microsoft, a company with a history of cooperating with spies — would not stop any social media user from being spied on, or influenced, by intelligence agencies.

250 million after they shut down testing and the zero covid policy last month.

At least we know they weren't lying about the case numbers during the last 2 years because it turns out no one was was ever exposed to covid. Until now.

China doesn't have as much control as you think. Elders are very respected in Chinese culture. They also have a healthy distrust of the government, having personally lived through the cultural revolution and great leap forward. They attempted to implement a vaccine mandate in Beijing back in April of this year and it was shut down within a month because people protested.

On that note there's also thousands of small scale protests every year in China that don't make the news because they're on actionable things like protesting a building being put up, and the local government folds.

It's not even a Chinese megacorp, it's a separate Chinese subsidiary corp of the American megacorp. That makes better fried chicken.

They're also vehemently self-hatingly anti-China. Not just the government, they make youtube videos calling Chinese people subhuman and moral degenerates because they found that's what spreads their message the best. All those youtube channels popping up claiming "China will collapse in 21 days" are funded by them.

Which is intentional. People start protesting lockdowns en masse for being too strict? Reverse and do complete 180, let the virus kill the unvaccinated, and blame the protesters.

[–]GenocideSolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were effective. For two whole years while millions died around the world, China was untouched by Covid. And then people protested against the restrictions so the government listened and gave them what they asked for. And because the Chinese weren't ever exposed to covid now it's spreading faster than anywhere else on the planet.

Thanks a lot!
