We whooped your arse the first half of the game and only lost to ourselves.

Was that your takeaway? Because I’d say your prolific offense only managing 6 points in the half against a defense that is but a shell of our more recent GREAT ones says otherwise.




Take that L, bitch.

Nah, Dallas still kicking. Just old as hell lol

Ah, yeah. I misread your context. I see it now. I knew he was old as dirt, so my first reaction was "he dead?!?" :lol:

Yeah, where you been man?

I'm around. I still check in from time to time, though I have not been a regular on the boards since the first of the year. Decided to cut a bunch of distractions out of my day and this is just one of those things I felt was taking up too much time. It's been a good thing for the most part, but I still come around when there's news breaking to see what all the gossip is on it. Colbie Young's disposition was the catalyst today.

Go to an endocrinologist and not a urologist. I had similar issues. My problem was in my adrenal gland and not my testicles. Started taking clomiphene and within 6 months my testosterone levels were back up in the 600s.

---

What, exactly, did you ask your endocrinologist to check? I already have one for managing a thyroid disorder. Figured out with recent bloodwork that my testosterone could use a boost as it was sitting at 261.

I’m in good health, not overweight, don’t smoke, don’t drink, sexual desire has never been a problem and getting it up never has been, either. Considering TRT, but the side effects concern me. I just don’t see a “natural” route here given that there isn’t a lot of change to make lifestyle-wise. And from what I’ve read, all of those things you can do account for small gains. Nothing significant.

Explain how I'm incorrect. There were basically two sides to most arguments around Covid: This or that would work or it wouldn't. Some people were going to be wrong.

quote:

---

Well, education and rationality would have eliminated that panic early on. But the uneducated, easily panicked sheep had the ear of government and media officials.

---

The average person in this country is very poorly educated, and most of them are incapable of educating themselves, especially where science is concerned. Reading random Facebook posts and articles from fringe media outlets is not the same as educating one's self. Both sides of the argument had PLENTY of uneducated morons parroting their beliefs and theories as absolute fact throughout (and it's clearly still happening).

quote:

---

No, not many hoarded anything and, as you seem to conveniently forget, that the board was filled with posts stating the irrational behavior and "guidance" being published by the COV-19 lunatics.

---

This turn didn't happen until a couple of months in. In December 2019 and going into the new year, it was totally different. And if you don't think people were hoarding en masse, you didn't try buying groceries during the early months of the pandemic. The realization that few people ever washed their hands on a regular basis prior to Covid was disturbing.

quote:

From the beginning of this the government left no room for discussion from any healthcare scientist that went even slightly against the grain of what the CDC spit out and a lot of what they did put out was utter nonsense and garbage science. Especially to people working in labs who knew enough to know what was ridiculous. Covid, especially the first two strains, did kill a lot of
folks. The majority of whom had a co-morbidity known or unknown to them at the time they got sick. There are other viruses that do the same. There have been some admissions of overreaction by a few . But the “what else could we have done” argument is weak when you consider the lack of scientific debate allowed at the beginning of the nightmare and the use of the disease for political advantage.

---

Not in disagreement with you. My wife works in healthcare also, so I saw a lot from her perspective. But I still think what we witnessed in the early phase was a reaction to what we could confirm was happening in real-time and a lack of any real plan to curb it conceived before it hit.

It was a clusterfrick of thought among officials trying to find SOMETHING they could say that would quell the mass panic taking place and prevent total anarchy. I think they saw that as a legitimate potential outcome and we know that doesn't fly. So issuing all of their guidance was them doing something in their minds. I think we can all agree that most of it was unhelpful (some of it downright ludicrous), but I don't think they felt there was adequate time to entertain a debate as things were transpiring. They started with the most restrictive measures they could and decided it best to loosen those as they figured out more along the way. I'm not saying it was the right way to handle it. I just think there would be criticism regardless of which way they opted to go with it.

Wild. So we should treat it like other respiratory infections? Not like it’s the plague? What a crazy thought. fricking idiots

---

So you're not clear on the difference between a "novel" pathogen and one that is no longer......."novel?" Got it.

quote:

---

How about providing a little more information as to why a carnivore diet is not healthy other than your feelings.

---

Seeing as how it prioritizes high-fat, high-cholesterol foods and omits a number of key nutrients found in fruits, vegetables, etc., it's not difficult math. Just because it can help reduce weight doesn't make it "healthy."

And I'll give you one of many articles you could locate yourself explaining all of this.

If only you could grasp the irony of your statement.

According to Urban Dictionary the rule of “Four Sixes” states that single women are looking for these four things to find a perfect male partner:

- At least 6 feet tall
- Has a 6 pack (abs)
- Earns a 6-figure salary
- Has a six inch peen

---

Well, good luck to all those single bitches as they remain perpetually single.

What? Is this a serious question? EVs are a disaster in so many ways.

---

Yeah, uh.....nah. They flat-out work incredibly well for commuter applications and the tech is getting better by the day. I'm sorry that your commitment to a particular political ideology requires that you spout this nonsense repeatedly.

That fad will die until something other than mined lithium is used for storage.

---

Yeah, again.....nah. You may WANT it to, but it's not. We may well get past lithium at some point, but like any fossil fuel before it, lithium will be around to bridge that gap between technologies. Some automakers whose bottom line is less staked in EVs will back off and get a little more conservative with their rollouts, but EVs as a whole aren't going anywhere.
