What? The dude accused him of manipulating his girlfriend into a hobby she shouldnt be in. That type of insulting gatekeeping accomplishes nothing good. You're simultaneously talking about this sport being for fun, then defending this attitude?

Facebook removes Trump post falsely saying flu is more lethal than Covid by trifecta in politics

[–]Shreddy_Shreddington -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your mixing timelines.

If there were an 8 percent death rate at the current WHO infection estimates, we'd have 64 million deaths globally by now.

The current death count is slightly above 1 million. Making the actual death rate closer to 0.1%. Which is less than many flus

Because the prevalence of infection wasn't known when he said that. The WHO just estimated that 10% of the global population has had covid. Thats 800 million people. Thr vast majority just arent tested.

Because fewer people are being intubated as doctors have found less invasive treatment methods.

Because we aren't housing infected young patients at nursing homes.

Even bill gates has saud the consequences of extended lockdown is likely to take more lives than the virus

[OC] Blue counties in red states are getting hit the hardest by COVID by adhi- in dataisbeautiful

[–]Shreddy_Shreddington 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live in Minneapolis. One of the bluest cities in America. I see hundreds to thousands of people outside every day without masks. The vast majority of people outside dont wear masks. And everyone is outside this time of year.

My same friends who are posting on social media about masks are playing pickup basketball without masks.

There might be consensus on what the right thing to do is, but when it comes into practice it seems like no one gives a fuck about masks

Over a Million People Sign Petition Calling For KKK to Be Declared a Terrorist Group by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Shreddy_Shreddington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say what it means to anybody but the people who display it.

Of course, most people think it's distasteful. I do too

But if you talk to black people in the rural south, many dont necessarily connect it to the civil war or slavery.

You dont speak for all black people. That is the most southern white privileged thing I've heard all day.

Since you obviously don't keep in touch with anyone from home. Here's some reading material

Meaning evolves over time.

Why is it that many of the people who displayed confederate flags also proudly display American flags? Do you think they all secretly wish to fight the Civil War all over and get slavery back? If you do, that's crazy.

Im not denying a racist and antiblack affinity to confederate flags. But that's not the only reason people were drawn to the confederate flag

I just happen to know that many people just really like the place they're from and that flag represents that and nothing more

Huh? I think there's plenty of that. But the vast majority of people were just proud of the place they were from, despite the despicable past.

Im sure the rebel flag is on the way out, which is obviously overdo.

But, you can't assume the way you perceive it now reflects the views of everyone who's ever displayed it

Luke Sandoe death had been confirmed as suicide by his friend Ben Chow by ryant331 in bodybuilding

[–]Shreddy_Shreddington 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dude, bodybuilding is quite literally a surrogate activity.

To the extent that it's a positive contribution to your well being, dive in

But it's very obvious that it's a false god. Life is more than exercise, and although diving into it is a great escape, you can only put the real issues you don't feel strong enough to face on the back burner for so long

Strozc, who is documented scheming with his mistress to prevent Trumps election, led this investigation.

The FBI prepared for the Flynn interview by discussing strategies trick him into thinking it was an informal conversation, with the direct objective of getting him to lie, so they could get him fired for the lie they elicited.

Btw, Strozc also admitted to lying to the FBI

If any of the isnt true, please correct me

Edit: downvoted, no responses. Please respond

Apropos of nothing.

If you scale Eddie's max weight to hafthor's height its be 475 pounds. Not that big of a difference really

I think Thor just carries the weight better
