The ivermectin ads seem hella weird, like if you were gonna get it you would have back when COVID was still a thing (even though it was never a thing it's just the flu). But they are still advertising it and the ads make it sound like you need to buy and stock up before the libs find out and stop you

But COVID isn't really even a thing anymore, why would you still need it? Are they saying you should just take this one weird horse drugs that supposedly stops COVID for everything now? You need it for VIRUS X because it will also stop that and every other virus out there but the libs just don't want you to have it because ?

Is taking horse drugs just for the sake of LIBERAL TEARS going to be a thing like are guys gonna film themselves sitting in their truck eating some apple flavored ivermectin to own the libs and show everyone how not mad they are?

Trump did yeah. A truth social post for the ages. I think it was the first thing he posted after the engoron ruling lol.

But it wasn’t publicized outside of that from my understanding and it definitely was not public knowledge before his tweet so I suspect a lot of the people who were going were not aware.

this is really stupid qualifier because they didn't advertise this at all. the only thing i can find is they posted a picture on instagram after the event in which they're getting a ton of negative comments about trump from "sneakerheads"

Sneakercon is an annual event, I get the sense that Trump just decided to show up. He probably paid money or got a, "Sure dude, whatever" from the convention organizers to Make A Big Special Appearance so he could have one of his Forever-Campaigning moments, which seems to have backfired pretty spectacularly.

so maybe the company running the event knew he was coming... but they sure didn't advertise it.

yes.. i've been thinking about this. given trump's ego i feel like this was a last minute thing otherwise he'd be promoting it like crazy. so it was a last minute thing where they got someone to spray gold a shoe with a USA flag since they heavily advertise it as, "LIMITED EDITION (note: shoes may not be as they appear now)"

Because someone invested a lot of money into Ivermectin stock at the peak of the fad and they’re still trying to get a return on that investment.

I'm not really a sneakerhead, BUT, I know a few, and they inspired me to start buying nicer shoes for myself. The AirMaxes I'm wearing right this very second are really comfy and I use them as my daily shoes. Air Jordans are really popular.

Speaking of shoes, if you aren't wearing Zero Drops yet, then what are you waiting for?

Seriously, get a pair of zero drops, get used to wearing them and never look back.

Your future self will thank you.

I think it's funny that on one side you have people wearing shoes like Hokas that are about as far from zero drop as you can get. And you also have people sleeping on super soft mattresses. But then on the other, you have the smart that sleep on firm mattresses with zero drop shoes.

No idea where I am going with this.

To sum up: vote left, zero drop shoes, firm mattresses. And eat veggies consistently. You should probably stretch, too.

I mean maybe I'm biased because one of my co-workers was going to Sneakercon and I got to listen to him ranting on Friday about how Trump going ruined it for him and he wasn't going, so I feel like it was at least not a complete obscurity.

The thing about the chud conspiracy sphere is that it never backs down on anything, and highly rewards doubling down on crap ideas. So it's very natural that ivermectin would move from a possible long-shot covid antiviral that some scientists were testing, to Definitely Proven anti-covid superdrug that The Man was keeping down to protect their microchip vaccines, to just plain magical superdrug with nebulous effects. The fact that you can get horse doses at your local Tractor Supply just adds fuel to the fire.

I’m not a sneakerhead either but was walking by a foot locker and there was a pair of Air Force ones that I really liked the looks of so I got em. Now I like looking at them every time I put them on. I can’t explain it they just clicked with me!

Now I keep a look out when I pass by shoe stores.
