Strange, because aside from when they closed my gym for two weeks at the beginning of all this, and then for a couple days some months later, it was open the entire time since last March. Including those handful of restaurants I went to, and the bowling alley, and the fun park. None of which, nor the customers, were dependent on any mandate or vaccine whatsoever.

There are some &^@#ing weirdos out there that do.

Gyms, bowling alleys, fun parks, weddings, the local waffle hut, literally any and all other public venues?

275 felt a little easier. 275 x 4 with potential for a couple more, I tried 300 again, 2 reps, 4 sets, back to 275 x 4, and then 225 for a couple sets of 8. I was feeling brave and wanted to try for the almighty 315 but my upper body was feeling soreish, the good kind of sore, so I didn't risk it not being at 100%.

It's not difficult to figure out and you don't have to look beyond this message board. There are fundamentalists on both sides of this equation. Many vaccinated possess a superiority complex bolstered not only by the media fear mongering and poisonous government rhetoric but by the plethora of lunatics on the other side of that equation. This results in them demonizing ALL people who do not have a vaccine or are opposed to the mandate regardless of the reason. Ergo, you are an "anti-vaxer" and the greatest threat to humanity. The greatest irony of this is that these same vaccinated individuals continued to enjoy ALL of the non-essential activities they wanted for the past 15 months prior to vaccine availability despite they themselves posing that same grave threat to everyone else that they now detest others for allegedly doing. It doesn't matter whether you wanted to "wait and see" how the vaccine plays out before getting it yourself because you have some allowable doubts or concerns about it, whether you are simply hesitant for some other reason, or whether you disagree with the government in what is supposed to be a democratic liberal society extorting its citizenry to making personal health decisions against their own conscience.

Rupert's indefinite mood and reaction regarding the inevitable reality that he's always going to be around unvaccinated people in some capacity (even though he's supposed to be near immunity himself, allegedly). Don't you get tired of living in fear of the viral boogeyman, or your common man for that matter. I guess not, obviously. Your incessant whining around here, among others, would certainly give that impression.

Sorry to break it to you but actually this is not drama but rather an accurate assessment of society. The part multiple boosters was hypothesis but based on the science and current trends, that's the way this is going.
-
Of course. Not that it matters. You will be required to provide proof of a third shot soon enough otherwise you'll be excommunicated from society until you do. It won't be long until the booster recipients accuse the double dosers of not doing their job and they're shunned from anything and everything. It will become the way of life going forward: being pumped with a pharmaceutical every quarter to keep up with the ever increasing scope of bureaucracy in your private life, especially if you want to keep your job. You think it sucks now? Just wait until you're on booster number three or four by the end of 2022. Nothing speaks of effectiveness of a vaccine like regularly requiring it; and with that it is an inevitable collapsing house of cards because it's unsustainable path going forward as discontent grows when there is a constant requirement and ever increasing scope of what is unacceptable.

Today seemed like a good day. Focused entirely on strength. Bench 275x2 285x2 295x2 300x2x3 275x4 (this almost killed me first set last week) 225 x 8 x 2 Almost got in a fight too for the first time in over a decade going to the gym. &^@#ing kids with big attitudes; some kid not using the bench other than to sit on it between sets for something else he was using got upset I parked my gear there without asking if he was using it. Benching with no weight? Clearly you're not using it. I can see across the gym you're on back day. Get lost.

[Report] Mailloux suspended indefinitely by OHL
Tortorella's Rant replied to qwijibo's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Likely to be the case; a sincere effort to make amends in the way one can simply isn't enough anymore. You're guilty forever, basically. -
Probably opening day. And a shutout.

Wouldn't be surprised one bit if Seattle pummels us. Not necessarily because they're a good team but this team is so awful some nights it's tough to fathom they're an NHL club.

Doing something positive, making actual positive change, actual progress, requires actual work. Who wants to work. It's far easier to sit on social media and virtue signal all day long which is all this ever is -

Racist. Why not black washed? What do you have against black washing? Clearly bigoted and privileged. -

They have operations in Abu Dhabi. I recall seeing a news piece on it some days ago. Unfortunately I can't comment more as I hadn't paid much attention to it. -

Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino said Canada and its allies have received word from the Taliban that those with proper documentation can leave the country, "Over the weekend, Canada and its allies received assurances from the Taliban that Afghan citizens with travel authorization from other countries would be allowed to safely leave Afghanistan," he said. "We have a clear commitment from the Taliban, and we are going to hold them to it." I mean, lol..
