PEDs aren't that big a deal when they're being used in low doses for specific therapeutic purposes under the supervision of a professional in people who are over 32 so yeah it's definitely not good how they're permeating youth sports. I remember kids in high school taking them and our football team was awful AND they skipped leg day. It was bad.

My preppy highschool was awful at football and still sophomores got routinely told that if they wanted to make the team they'd have to find 20 more pounds somehow. That was quite a while ago so I have to imagine it's much worse now

Godholio posted:Maybe attacking someone expressing interest in continuing to learn about something and making a baseless accusation isn't the best way to have a constructive dialogue and win people onto the side of moving this issue in the right direction. There's no accusation there. Just frustration that a trans child's ability to determine their own gender is a political issue that disingenuous people bury under think-of-the-children concern trolling. Thanks so much for your input.

I apologize if I offended, I assure you it wasn't my intention. I know my thoughts on the subject aren't unique and lord knows I'm not perfect. Like another poster said I am trying to learn about the subject so I don't spread misinformation. I don't want to be all "but I have a black friend" but I have known trans people and I wish them the best of luck in their lives. You might be right in that it's something I can't understand but it doesn't mean I won't try. Anyway I'll drop my comments on it, I don't want to start another derail. Don't make me post my thoughts on Vegemite

If it was permissible then there would be incentive to use safer stuff so you'd have a longer and more lucrative career. We've already proven that prohibition doesn't work, why keep pretending it does? The amount of come to Jesus moments I have to have with people about the fact that a shockingly large portion of the people they look up to are on one thing or another is depressing. Being up to your eyeballs in strength sports both on the tested and untested sides makes it very clear just how pervasive it is. Yes dude, almost all of your heroes are on something. No, it doesn't make your dick fall off. No, you don't suddenly go from zen to beating your significant other (yes women use too and no it's not just she-hulks). The majority of PED usage is recreational, just regular people you probably wouldn't blink twice at beyond just thinking they're kinda jacked.

I have no issues with PEDs. poo poo, if nothing else, the incredible amount of it used in the military made me reconsider. The invasion couldn't have happened without old school Ripped Fuel. But I want there to be two separate leagues- an all natural one, and then an anything goes. I want to watch real life Mutant League Football.

Because the bold part isn't going to solve the problem...people will use whatever they feel they need to, ignore any advice that gets in the way, etc. Look at Cam Newton returning WAY earlier than he should've after covid knocked him on his rear end (or any of the other athletes who returned too early after injury/illness). Lawrence Taylor was on cocaine for almost every game of his career, certainly there were less risky options available. McGuire and Sosa were household names before they juiced to the moon to chase the HR record.

The invasion couldn't have happened without old school Ripped Fuel. That's pretty much what the untested side of powerlifting is, with surprisingly less drama and more chill unpretentious people. Guy just squatted 1133 in knee wraps this weekend while plowing through a case of Coors Light, got iced while standing on the podium afterwards and chugged it before being handed a $10k check.

It's happening right now. Highschool kids are ringing that bell to get recruited to a better school, college kids to get a shot at the combine, combine to get drafted, and pro league players to get or keep that edge. If they've got to ring that bell to get to that next level, that's as far as they're going to get. The issue isn't a "what if", it's a question of harm mitigation and damage reduction.

That private "school" also had RFK, Jr. as a featured speaker, the tuition cost is $30k, and the husband of the operation is a toll road magnate. The one benefit of the near-future is that Covid's finally going to be a chud-dominant disease soon, with limited vaccine breakthrough cases for non-chuds. Probably more danger of variants coming from other countries than the chud population.

Unfortunately we likely need most chuds to get vaccinated if we ever want to hit herd immunity.

Don’t forget the best parts: “A school in Miami is coming under fire after it reportedly sent out a letter telling vaccinated employees they could not be around students, citing false claims linking the vaccine to changes in women’s reproductive cycles.” “Even among our own population, we have at least three women with menstrual cycles impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person,” she wrote, repeating a false claim that vaccinated people can somehow pass the vaccine to others and thereby affect their reproductive systems.”
