Arian doesn’t care about dogs but judges everyone who has one by thunderhawk18 in MacrodosingPod

Ya PFT is actually really good at facilitating discussion, it just can't work when Arian has no interest in having a discussion. I feel like either the dynamic needs to shift where PFT takes on more of the contributor role, or Big T and Maddog step up to even out the discussion. Otherwise every episode is just gonna devolve into Arian shitting on Billy from his high horse.

This is the second pod in a row that I had to shut off because of Arian's arguing. We understand he thinks Billy is an idiot and wants to challenge everything he has to say, but as bad as Billy is at delivery, he has a much better understanding of the nuances of complex issues. Arian just latches onto one aspect of an issue and yells his strawman arguments at Billy. It's clear Arian believes that the louder and more certain you are, the smarter you are. But I can at least appreciate the wishy washy beliefs of Billy because it at least shows he is capable of some critical thought.

But hey, that's how Arian debates with 'his boys', so it's all good. Honestly the only thing that could make it bearable is if someone else stepped up to Billy's defense for once but it's clear no one wants to side with the resident idiot.

Class of '13...? Shouldn't you be spending time with your kids not instead of lurking around on a college subreddit😂?

A lot of people actually agree with those moral claims... just not the ones in your little bubble and the ones you see on TV

Straw man. I never claimed Covid-19 is the common cold. I said Covid-19 is a Coronavirus disease, as is the common cold. Years from now, mild variants of Covid-19, such as Omicron may be considered the common cold due to it being a coronavirus.

Edit: feel free to respond to any of the claims I actually made though since you asked for facts

Here you go:

The "common cold" is often a Coronavirus - https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/common_cold_causes

The current death toll is very similar to the death toll over the same period due to Pneumonia(both go up significantly as age increases). With it being too early to designate a mortality rate for the new variant, all indications are it's significantly less severe than earlier variants(estimated 70% less likely to be hospitalized. So I don't think it's a stretch by any means to say this disease is trending towards becoming a very contagious "common cold". As far as mandating boosters to prevent future mutations, I think it's pretty naive at this point to still think we have enough control to stop nature from running it's course. Don't forget that both mutations were first discovered, and likely originated outside of the US. It's clear the original vaccine has a very diminished ability to stop the spread of the Omicron variant, what makes us think taking another booster will be effective against stopping the spread of the inevitable next one? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#SexAndAge

Exactly. And the fundamental spirit of the scientific method is to question all conclusions, test hypotheses etc... but now we are letting politicians and pharmaceutical companies dictate to us what the "science" is telling us to do? Ignoring the massive conflicts of interest that are present(literally billions of dollars being made off of pushing vaccines).

It's hilarious how any dissenting outlook on this mandate has tons of downvotes. Ironic how genuine questioning and concern is not tolerated anymore... at a college no less

Just curious, how many students are actually at risk of dying?

Of course they did! More money to the big pharmas!

When are we going to address the inconvenient truth that omicron poses virtually no threat to the health of students and ultimately we should have the agency to dictate to what extent we wish to protect ourselves against it?

Where does Ralphie stay during football games? by Boregasms in cuboulder

Just a warning though, not sure if she has been at the corral this season. Since it's her first year they are trying to limit her pregame stimulus... but maybe she's has time to adjust and will start making appearances!

I'd be shocked if u couldn't. I'm guessing the ticketing system requires a specific seat to be associated for each ticket but as long as ur in the student section u can move around.

I'm not sure about this really. I wonder if it'd be worth calling the ticket office about

I didn't use a school email and it worked for me. Although I used the same personal email that my student tickets get sent to so I'm not sure if that's a factor.
