Plus he looks good with a molotov cocktail in his hands which I'm sure didn't come up in the focus groups.

Ah, I guess it would make more sense if people were using the corporate mascot ironically, like using ronald mcdonald to protest the meat industry.

It's a good character as far as brand mascots go. I'm saying the pretend resistance twitter kids using the character completely as intended is dumb. They are a bunch of marks.

Your pretend activism where you post grumpily about a mascot is totally different than their pretend activism where they post positively about the same mascot.

Half squats are perfectly fine for most athletes. They train the needed range of motion for pushing with the legs. While they don't stimulate nearly as much hypertrophy as a full squat half squats still make you grow and getting bigger is at best a secondary concern for most actual athletes.

The thing that never fails to annoy the hell out of me on the forums is when I say something, someone quotes it to disagree and misses the point completely, and then no one else reads the original post and just argues about something no one ever said. if this had happened like once it would be nbd but I swear goons do this fuckin constantly.

So you’re saying you don’t like the quote function now because it bothers you sometimes? Little issues are always gonna pop up and that kind of thing happens on these forums. I think it’s great and very helpful and tbh I think you’re kind of an rear end in a top hat saying your opinion matters more than others.

It's always gotta end with some desperate attempt to find a moral high ground. always. You could be talking about cheetos and goons will find a way to disagree and end it with "I am a good person and you are bad". I very intentionally exploited this once just to see how well it would work. Some guy pissed me off by doing this half assed doxx on me, so I just started calling him racist until the whole thread was trying to run him out of there with pitchforks, even though he didn't actually say or do anything racist. Goons just read the last 1 or 2 posts and start popping off lol.
