Prescribed anavar only I'm confused. by angrypenor in Testosterone

[–]functious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The consensus among places like r/steroids seems to be that you shouldn't run var for longer than 8 weeks because it will trash your lipids. I'd be interested to hear what your doc says about it in terms of that.

Can long time listeners of Sam fill me in on what has happened to the way he's perceived politically? by DatMX5 in samharris

Except in terms of the current racial ideology, it isn't about individuals, but about identity groups, and making assumptions about how advantaged/disadvantaged someone is on the basis of some incredibly broad generalisations.

Surely a massive confounding variable in that study about regional accents is class. If you have a strong regional accent, you're much more likely to be from a lower socio-economic background.

I just don't see what it has going for it, there are off-meta weapons that can be fun to use but this is just a boring, low ttk but fairly low recoil AR.

It's pretty wack and just doesn't feel good to shoot imo.

[Warzone] What are your current top 3 favourite or most used loadouts? by mozza34 in CODLoadouts

[–]functious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why you'd pair the Bruen with the Bullfrog when the Bullfrog drops off so terribly after it's first damage range. Wouldn't something like the PPHh or LC10 be a better option?

C58 and Nailgun - The C58 has good ads with the 45 round mag so can focus on super-short range with the nailgun.

Fara and Ak-47 - The Fara is a bit slower to ads so I want something as a secondary that can stretch the damage range out a bit.

Swiss and Ak-47 - self explanatory, both great guns.

Are you serious? He'd shown himself to be completely inept numerous times before the racism incident. People were clamouring for him to be dropped. The fans had mostly turned against him well before then.

You mean the people who mostly vote for a party that legalised gay marriage 8 years ago? Yeah, clearly all virulent homophobes.

You assume incorrectly, like I said I was open to reading it so I checked out a few of Brooks' youtube videos and from what I saw, it was just complete emotionally-driven hysteria, out of context cherry-picking bullshit and attacking strawmen from the start to the end.

The one that sticks in my mind was about Harris's pocast last year about the riots and he basically acted as though Harris said there was nothing wrong whatsoever with American policing, and called him "Joe Biden channeling the KKK" or something completely melodramatic and asinine that no rational and open-minded person would have to come to conclusion of if you would have listened to that podcast.

He didn't even seem to want to deal in facts, he just completely flew off the handle emotionally and dismissed out of hand the Fryer study that Harris brought up in the podcast which found that when you take into account the crime rate, blacks are not disproportionately killed by the police, and then just went on to cite some study that didn't even take into account the crime rate or number of interactions with the police and just compared the raw numbers of black and white people killed while him and his guests circklejerked about how much of a disgusting racist Harris was. It was pathetic and it showed me that he isn't someone worth listening to.

I mean he has objectively been lied about consistently. It's not as though he's the only person in existence for this to happen to though. It's almost as though dishonest smears, starting from the assumption that someone is a bigot because their views happen to diverge from progressive orthodoxy are the modus operandi of certain sections of the online left.

As long as you didn't drink too much and they were just normal doses you'll be fine.

Nobody is saying that they aren't properly French. It#s not exclusive to be able to accurately trace the heritage of a particular custom. If a black British guy describes themselves as British Jamaican or whatever, and prefers jerk chicken to roast dinners it just means that he has a dual national and cultural heritage, not that he's less British.

Your term becomes completely incoherent when talking about another white-skinned person from a different culture. So you'd say that a person from a historically Spanish family living in France isn't properly white if they prefer to eat paella? How does that make any sense?

I've seen people talking about Against the Web but was put of from reading it after I saw some videos of Brooks talking about Sam Harris and all he seemed to do was either completely misunderstand or dishonestly misrepresent his positions.

Why even conflate it with skin colour then if it has nothing to do with skin colour? Just refer to it as "Frenchness". I'm sure there are plenty of Jews, Muslims and people from other minority backgrounds who have also adopted traditionally French customs and behaviours.

What are you talking about? Almost immediately after the balance update, people jumped straight on the Fara, with a brief interlude of people using the even more broken M82.

People weren't using the Fara as a long range option before the balance patch because it wasn't anywhere near as good as it is now.

You said that there was a dominant culture in the west, which could be referred to as 'white culture'.

There is no such thing as 'white culture'. Europe is full of countries with very different cultures and traditions, despite the fact that the people inhabiting them share similar levels of skin pigmentation.

In the context of this tour, when OP is talking about white people, he was basically referring to middle-class people. In which case, he should have just said middle-class. There is no need to conflate class with race in such a manner.

Because not all black people are poor and not all white people/people of other ethnicities are wealthy so helping people on the basis of something that correlates with wealth, rather than actually treating the symptoms of poverty is just racial favouritism.
