"Female" swimmer

Dec 08, 2021

Faster, bigger, stronger, and faster:

A 22-year-old transgender swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania continued her dominant performance this season — setting numerous pool, meet and program records at a three-day event in Ohio last weekend.

Lia Thomas blew away her competition Friday night in the 500-yard freestyle preliminaries and finals at the Zippy Invitational at the University of Akron, according to results posted by the school.

In the finals, Thomas notched a winning time of 4:34.06 — good enough for a new Ivy League record. The swimmer continued smashing records on Saturday with a nearly 7-second victory in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:41.93 — representing the fastest finish in the country, the school said.

So fierce. So brave.

Zero home advantage

Dec 08, 2021

Rain washed out most of the Test match and somehow Bangladesh went down by an innings. They almost had their most humiliating result:

1291 Balls bowled in the Dhaka Test, the second shortest Test match in terms of balls in Bangladesh to yield a result. The shortest completed Test was 1287 balls long, between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in 2018, also in Dhaka.

Another close one:

87 Bangladesh's first-innings total is the joint-lowest in Bangladesh in Test cricket. Bangladesh equal their own mark, against West Indies back in 2002. The 87 all-out is also the joint-fourth lowest total for Bangladesh in this format.

It must be painful for the fans.

Reality is racist

Dec 06, 2021

It's a similar story with terrorist acts. Look at how many people have been murdered by Islamic terrorist acts in this century in the US; the murder rate of that 0.5% of the total population is stunning. But, of course, the real danger is HUWHITE SUPEMACYSTS!

Just say no!

Dec 06, 2021

It poisons the whole atmosphere where one can't even have a conversation with the average guy because the words you're using today could mean something else by the end of the month. Pure logic holds less power when you're branded as a VERY BAD PERSON.

Thanks to the Internet, we can actually see and point out these insidious changes in vocabulary.

Sacrificing quality and lives

Dec 04, 2021

The Daily Beast: How Boeing Was Set on the Path to Disaster by the Cult of Jack Welch.

This excerpt describes the human condition:

[...] McNerney, touting the Welch philosophy of “more for less,” ruled out the new jet and opted, instead, for what became the 737MAX, a hybrid of yet another iteration of the old airframe and the vastly improved engine that would give airlines much higher efficiency. The new program would cost $2.5 billion; the clean-sheet jet would have cost $20 billion. (As it turned out, the MAX catastrophe has cost the company well north of $20 billion.)

They killed hundreds, lost billions of dollars, and burned their immense reputation in one shot. That's some big-brain "savings".

It's also grim that a CEO who pushed the alternative (by making a brand new jet costing $20 billion) wouldn't have received any credit for actually saving lives, money, and their prestige. Most likely, he would have been fired for his "unnecessary" and "wasteful" spending. That's the Wall Street mantra; they only care about the short term: lowering costs and rising stock prices.

Sugar and sloth

Dec 04, 2021

Staggering. Soon, only one out of every fourth person will be at a healthy weight. The food companies sell sweet poison and the pharma firms provide you easy pills to survive for a while. It's an insidious system. Though, at the end of the day, you have to wake up and decide to change your eating habits. It's not easy but that's life.

A few suggestions from experience:

  • Limit your meals to a six-hour window in a day. Even better, move to one meal a day if you can; drink only water for lunch or dinner.
  • Drastically reduce your intake of carbs (bread, rice, pasta, etc.) and sugary foods and drinks.
  • Fats and proteins are your friends: butter, eggs, chicken, fish, beef, etc.
  • Walk. An average of half-hour per day will make one lose roughly one pound per month. It doesn't sound like a lot but it definitely adds up over time.

Remember, this isn't a diet plan for a few months. It's a consistent effort for the rest of your life. It's uncomfortable and most likely painful in the beginning but the mind and body will adapt and improve.

Their gain, your loss

Dec 04, 2021

Big Pharma wants all the profits with none of the downsides. That's why they'll keep creating booster shot #2, 3, 4, and beyond while people suffer through reactions, heart problems and possible cancers down the road.

Diverse shadow program

Dec 03, 2021

A super progressive program at Washington and Lee University:

“To promote equality of opportunity, the WIS has developed a successful diverse shadow program and we encourage you to apply if you self-identify with any of the following communities: Women, Black, Lantinx, Latin, Native American, LGBTQ+, Veterans, and Students with Disabilities,” the society states in advertising the program.

But, of course, they're totally not racist:

The private institution lists on the bottom of the homepage of its website a disclaimer that “Washington and Lee University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran’s status, or genetic information in its educational programs and activities, admissions, and with regard to employment.”

White and Asian students should use the legal system to fight.

Going full retard

Dec 02, 2021

As if the millions of new immigrants, stagnant wages, and sky-high rents and housing prices wasn't bad enough, we're now being told to cut down on VERY BAD language:

Have you ever casually used the terms "spirit animal," "first-world problem," or "spooky"? It might be time to rethink your use of these phrases and remove them from your daily lingo.

Of course, some words can ONLY be uttered by certain people. For example:

"If a non-Indigenous person says 'this is my tribe,' I don't think it's OK, despite the fact that they're using it presumably in a metaphorical way," said Taniguchi.

The combination of ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, and maliciousness is absolutely stunning. The word "tribe" has been used across multiple continents for thousands of years. Since when did a few people in Canada get a monopoly on that term?

This is just another tool that'll be used against Bad Thinkers. If you've used VERY BAD words like blacklist, spooky, ghetto, savage, lame, etc., then get ready to be cancelled in the near-future.

Pharma Profits

Dec 01, 2021

There are close to 50 million people in America who got Covid and lived. There's zero reason for them to get a vaccine. Yet, the system demands it. The reason isn't public health. $25 per shot, three jabs total, that's nearly $4 billion in pharma revenue.
