Holy gently caress a SJW rant in the year 2022. Didn't the dude get the memo that the overused to point of meaningless term now is "woke". Anyway I am also a bit surprised that the Hockey Canada stuff isn't being discussed here more. It is really sad how with every other sexual assault scandals in major sports around the world I thought "at least Hockey is safe....oh gently caress". Everyone involved with hockey Canada should lose their job and the whole thing should be rebuilt from the ground up. At least Soccer Canada is just plain incom....nevermind.

So much has been said about hazing, homophobia, and how the rapes commited by the U of O hockey team way back when, that I don't think anyone who's heard those things has been under the impression that hockey was "safe" for some time now. Why the number of people who've heard those things is so low, however, could make for some entertaining reading

Oxyclean posted:Maybe jinxing myself since I got my 4th shot yesterday but I feel astonished that people have reported all sorts of symptoms with the vaccines and I feel like at worst I have a sore arm and maybe feel a little tired. It feels hard to imagine I just have a good immune system or something. Perhaps you have an incredibly weak immune system and that's why you don't have noticeable immune response symptoms? IDK, I'm in the same boat as you wrt reactions to the vaccines, but I'm getting my second booster in a few hours, so I guess we'll see.

McGavin posted:Disregarding the importance of the Pope's apology to the survivors of residential schools is Not that I'm in any position to judge the sincerity or impact of the apology, but is the church actually doing anything about their rampant abuse problem besides asking for forgiveness? TrueChaos posted:There is a distinct difference between treatment and prevention. The article doesn't seem to reference the recent CDC report that does claim that the 4th booster is effective against early Omicron variants (and that the 3rd dose's effectiveness wanes past 4 months). Maybe that one came out too near the deadline to be included, but it's a notable omission. Granted, there are caveats as with anything - the US still only recommends the 2nd booster for the immunocompromised and 50+ year olds, and the aforementioned study doesn't seem to have changed their minds about expanding to 30+ or 18+, but it may just be a matter of time.

 I really take issue with people calling the effects of a 4th dose "marginal". Some of the protections are muted but what a fourth dose does is boost your virus neutralizing titers up to their maximal post 3rd dose levels. Those titers will have dropped off a cliff 5-6 months post 3rd dose. The effect isn't marginal, it's a 2x or more multiplier. Waiting for the new bivalent vaccine in development instead is dangerous because by the time we see it available, you could be 12 months out from your 3rd dose and there's no studies on where your COVID resistance will be by then but we can make a reasonable assumption that it will be even worse than the post 5 month levels. The reason there isn't a body of evidence that encourages 4th dose in healthy, under 60 adults is that Omicron is too new to have the results of those studies completed as of yet, but we can extrapolate from the studies on over-60s that a 4th dose is safe and will have a beneficial effect. e: I should add I'm talking about personal safety re: fighting a symptomatic infection, the effect on preventing infection does seem to be closer to marginal.

Wait people thought hockey was safe? I mean there's been very high level sexual assault allegations re: coaches for decades (thinking Theo Fleury here), and also every hockey team I knew as a young adult had an overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of bro-ey assholes in it, I was 0% surprised when I heard about it, and 0% surprised that Hockey Canada had attempted a half assed coverup. That's what privileged sports organizations do.

I have no idea what The Social is but I'm not surprised. It took a very long time for people to come to terms with the fact that just because Don Cherry wears silly suits doesn't mean he should be allowed to go on long sexist and racist rants on national TV. Leave that for the Tories, Don! Anyway MA-Horus posted:hockey canada delenda est

I didn’t get a reaction to any of the vaccines and I just shrugged off covid both times I had it, I had a fever of ~37.5 for an afternoon and no other symptoms other than testing positive (and the last time I got covid it was 5 months after my third dose). Everyone is different and it’s highly unpredictable.

Danaru posted:Much like your posting Sir, this is a Keg. Did I do it right? Apologies if I didn't. Meanwhile in MY province David Eby looks like he is going to take over the BCNDP, and while I really liked Eby as the opposition when the BCLibs were in power, his record since the NDP have been in has been somewhat spotty. I saw an interview with him today and he was asked what has he done/the party done that will make BC folks want to vote for him in the next election and he mentioned the restructuring of ICBC (car insurance) and how people are getting a nice 100 dollar check which sounds great if you ignore how the restructuring screws over anyone hit by a car and left with serious injuries. He also mentions working to bring more housing for middle class but didn't address housing prices so that seemed to be missing the forest from the trees. I will probably still vote BCNDP next election because the BCLibs are just loving awful, but the way he was giving his half measures as major accomplishments just felt off.

trapstar posted:My city is banning plastic bags and trying to put even more restrictions on us. They also want to legally restrict you from cutting down a tree on your own property because of the "environment" The culture here getting toxic with some people trying to push the leftist agenda despite Alberta being mostly Convervative. There are actually some full-blown SJWs in my city, I hear about them on the news. Do you understand that our actions have effects on other people or do you think we all exist in isolation? Plastic bags and the amount of packaging we use in general doesn’t seem to me like a good thing as they fill up more and more landfill space. I don’t see how we can reduce this without heavy handed rules because the status quo is easier than changing. I’m also curious what you think of mask mandates and carbon taxes. For mask mandates, do you agree that masks reduce transmission of deadly viruses and that this works best when everyone is masked in poorly ventilated or filtered settings indoors? For carbon taxes do you think they should be higher to ensure we don’t further accelerate climate change or lower for some reason?

flakeloaf posted:Alberta. It came from Alberta. Thank you for making this crucial point. Our problems in the cities of Alberta come from mainly from people who've migrated here from within the province or within the country. Actual immigrants from another country coming here looking for a better life and more opportunity, are great. People who move here from Ontario because "the SJWs are at it again in Ontario" are poo poo from an rear end, as are (typically, but not always) the people who move here from within Alberta because you just can't make an honest day's wage stickin' your johnson into farm animals anymore. If the Kevin J. Johnstons and Jason Kenneys of the world would stay where the gently caress they were whelped, we'd be in far less of a pickle.
