Meh…I’ll be surprised if anyone is talking about this swimmer in two weeks.

I’ll bet it matters to the women losing to a man in a women’s sport for years.

Just because someone says something isn't part of the Democrat Utopia doesn't mean that they're implying it's part of the Republican one.

 

The world isn't a binary defined by the two major american political parties lol.

I didn’t say it was, but there’s definitely a difference in how much each political party is pushing back on this kind of ridiculousness. I don’t doubt this Thomas guy feels like a woman, but that doesn’t make him a woman. And it definitely doesn’t give him the right to ruin the legitimacy of an entire sport, and make everything those women worked for throughout their young lives irrelevant.

If you think trans women dominating sports is part of The Democrat Utopia, you'd be wrong. The complex issue is hotly debated within the LGBT community as well.  

There’s a lot of odd/s#!tty things you can lay at the door of the Republican Utopia, but letting men dominate women in women’s sports isn’t one of them. It fits here just fine.

And it still showed zero efficacy for the treatment of COVID.  

And yet, it’s still not medication for horses.

They might as well have.  It would be just as worthless. 
 

This is a prime example of a study being done because of what idiots believe. 

But they didn’t, because the Ivermectin they used in the study is a drug intended for human use. Despite all the moronic jokes about it being horse medicine.

Good on Maher calling out the hypocrisy of the Hollywood Left, and our government as a whole.

Great point.  Maybe eating horse dewormer is the way to go then.  

Let me know how it works for you.

Well who could have guessed eating horse dewormer wasn't such a great idea?

They didn’t use horse medication in that study….

I think this explains the recent prominence better. When we were kids we weren’t coddled. Parents didn’t attend every sports practice with us. We actually had pick up games of football, basketball, baseball etc. that our parents weren’t even aware of (until sombody got bloody or broke something). But now we have parents who want to protect and control everything no matter how much it infringes on others. Their little darling angels are the only things that matter, everyone else be damned.

Yep.

Somebody find a white man to tell this guy how oppressed he is!

Good stuff.

Canada isn’t being very nice right now. Between this, and some of Trudeau’s comments. Yeesh.

Pieces of s#!t. I hope the family takes that department for all they’re worth

What the f*** do you expect a father to do if his door gets kicked in in the middle of the night and he’s got his two kids with him?

Was Brigitte Gabriel?  

Maybe? Probably?

Really?

 

You have Brigitte Gabriel tweeting out we should welcome all Canadian truckers as legal immigrants.  

 

As far as I know Brigitte has never tweeted out we should welcome all who would like to come in from the southern border.  

 

Brigitte Gabriel is also a well known Islamaphobe who founded ACT

And yet we're to believe that she's color blind and just forgot about welcoming in immigrants from the southern border?

I don’t know who that lady is….
 

So you were profiling the truckers.

Here we have @Archy1221 denying that Republicans are fawning all over the white truckers and inviting them to immigrate while building a wall to keep those they see as drug dealing, Covid infected, human traffickers from crossing the southern border.  

Are all the protesters white, or are you racially profiling truckers?

This isn't an explicit example of racism, but I found the execution and reaction to this Google Pixel Super Bowl ad interesting and problematic. Seems like a lot of other people did, too.

 

TL;DR for those who didn't see it: Google's ad shows photos of black people having their photo taken in dark environments, lamenting that it's difficult to see themselves because of their skin tone. Google then showcases that their new phone has skin tone technology to help bring out their skin color better.

 

The reaction to the ad seems to be REALLY hit or miss, particularly within the black community. A lot of people feel pandered too because many of the black people in the 'new' photos have lighter skin tones than the 'old' photos. Or that Google is (jokingly) calling other cameras racist. I myself found the ad a bit odd because it's pretty clear all of their new 'look we solved this problem!' photos were taken in like... broad f'ing daylight. So of course people are going to look better. Lighting is literally what makes or breaks a photo, so if you take a photo in a dark bowling alley... of course it's going to look worse than one taken in the middle of a park on a Tuesday afternoon.

 

 

It’s odd that this was the breaking point for some black people when it comes to pandering. The last couple years in particular, there have been countless moments where there seemed to be clear pandering from companies, celebrities, politicians, etc.

Also, don’t we all look worse when a picture is taken in the dark?

I watched the Super Bowl with a couple I didn't think were racist, and all they talked about was how Black people seemed to dominate everything these days. 

So making that kind of observation makes them racist? I think people are just tired of race being attached to everything, particularly in the media. Personally, it doesn’t get much more than an eye roll out of me, if I even notice. As mentioned above, most of it feels a lot like pandering.

So...doctors resign and go do what?  

In my entire life I can say I have never met a person that "used to be" a doctor and then left that job.

 

Nurses, a few, most went into teaching nursing classes.  

 

I know a dentist that left his practice to teach dental school.

 

 

It worked out for Dr. Dre !

By the way, people are overhyping that halftime show. Sure the music brought back a lot of good memories, but the show itself was pretty lame.

I’d be surprised if this were a Wandale Robinson situation. I imagine he’ll put up similar numbers, with a few more wins. After watching the bowl game, his RB  situation is way better at KSU. WRs? He had better WRs at Nebraska last year.

That's enough to overwhelm hospitals. We've been in the Red for a while now because our hospitals are full. No elective surgeries.

Fair and legitimate point.

The stats are in. The charts are clear.

 

But I have yet to hear the Antii-Vaxx response. By now it's easy enough to claim the CDC or any elitist healthcare agency is simply lying to protect their agenda. Or point to a vaxxed person who died of Omicron, as if that settles the case. That's what the brainwashed do.

 

But if you're an elected Republican pandering to a base, and if COVID is killing record numbers in your state, the vast majority being your voters, how do you respond to that chart? Are these people ever directly grilled on those numbers?

 

Even Donald Trump came out and recommended the vaccine, and he got booed.

 

Seriously, is there an anti-vax response to these numbers? I haven't seen it. 

The charts make an obvious case to get vaccinated, and they make a pretty strong case against a vaccine mandate as well. What is that, 70-80 deaths per 100,000 infections? And who knows how many cases go undetected/unreported , so the death rate is likely significantly lower than that. Just in my household, we’ve had Covid run through twice, and why wife is the only one that ever tested, the first time she had it.

Oh, she’s salty. 

She didn’t describe Joe Rogan fans. She described every mass reaction of defense of a public figure to ever happen on the internet.

That article veers into a pet theory of mine: the #1 fear of 21st Century Americans is leading a boring life. Or more to the point, they're afraid other people think they're boring. They will do anything to fight that perception, short of taking a real risk or making a personal sacrifice.

 

This has a huge influence on the messages the media feeds us. 

I don’t know about that. I think most of the people I know, and probably in a lot of rural areas, are perfectly content being boring. Personally, I try to avoid boredom way more than boring.

Reading through that, it looks like Snowden is condemning the people who are pushing back against Rogen and at the same time, pointing out that he's not someone to take seriously for information.

Exactly.

He's a comedian, who is curious, and  likes aliens, history, psychedelic drugs, and talks to super interesting guests. He also has a healthy distrust of government/the establishment. Take him for what he is, and enjoy what he does. Because there's nobody better at it (podcasting).
