OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLVI: Really, It's All About Beer and Bojangles

[Navin R Slavin]

I love Mike Tyson, and I'm glad he took this opportunity to get paid.

I hate Jake Paul, but you've got to hand it to him: he knows how to turn his villainy into cash. Everyone on the planet was praying that he would get knocked the f*** out, and he knew it.

If there were any chance that Jake Paul was gonna lose this fight, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. He will never, not ever, fight a real fighter in a real fight. The fact that this was sanctioned in the first place is f***ing nonsense. And he *still* had to put 14oz gloves in the contract so he didn't accidentally get knocked out by that old man's jab.

In America, the long con goes on and on.

I guess Tyson didn't feel it

 

[Negan4Coach]

I can't believe I stayed up to watch that crap last night.

I was really hoping to see Iron Mike throw the YouTube guy's child down and stomp on his testicles so that only then he could understand the pain he feels.

I was saved. Turned on the netflix prelims but then switched it off intending to go back for the main event. But on DISH you have to watch it from the beginning and can't fast forward, so when I tried to tune back in around 11 I'd have had to still sit through the 3 hours of prelims before seeing Tyson/ Paul. Nope.

So basically, the one time he didn’t fight a retired fighter that was 15 years his elder, he lost.

I swear we're getting dumber as a species.

Well, this might explain some of it:

Some of those findings are terrifying. Even mild cases of COVID, confined entirely in respiratory symptoms, affected the brain to the equivalent of 7 years of aging. Severe cases can be the equivalent of 20 years of aging. Severe cases that led to death had the virus residing in the victim’s brain over a month later.

Because no, the mental issues from locking people in their homes, and launching a fear campaign that still has 5% of the public in masks for the rest of their lives had NOTHING to do with the mental illness of it.

Hopefully people learned a lesson from these lockdowns that will last a generation. And hopfelly theyll make statists pay for it as long as they remember it.

This isn’t about mental illness. This is about physical changes to the brain due to the Covid virus. At least read the article before launching into a fit.

"In addition to brain fog, COVID-19 can lead to an array of problems, including headaches, seizure disorders, strokes, sleep problems, and tingling and paralysis of the nerves, as well as several mental health disorders."

Read the last line yourself before acting as if I didn't.

You also don't know that shit didn't come from the experimental vaccine that was FORCED on people. This isn't polio vax you know. It wasn't developed over 10 years.

I’m not going to discuss this with you if you’re going down the anti-vax route. That’s a path that’s been well tread and it basically requires the ignoring of all empirical evidence.

Im not anti vax. I'm anti force.

If that makes me anti vax in your mind then so be it. And before you make a connection, I'm also pro choice. That's how an actual liberty first person thinks.

Objectively it was against the medical rules to vaccinated during a pandemic. Ineffective vaccines cause mutations in viruses. This was common medical practice for what 100 years prior?

No one wants to believe they willingly/unwillingly was duped into taking a possible ticking time bomb either.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Again, I’m not going down that route. We can argue all day about what constitutes proper testing or weigh the pros and cons of an active threat vs possible effects down the line. Based on conversations I’ve had with both of you, bringing up evidence tends to get dismissed as biased or countered with a niche viewpoint with no backing. If you want to believe that the Covid vaccine was a mistake, more power to you.

I simply brought up the article to discuss the physical damage that the virus has done to those infected. I imagine most, if not all, of this board has caught Covid by now. I know I feel like I’ve experienced more brain fog/brain fart moments since catching it, though it’s hard to tell how much of that might be from the virus and how much is simply getting older.

“Imaging studies done in people before and after their COVID-19 infections show shrinkage of brain volume and altered brain structure after infection.”

“A study of people with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging.”

“Laboratory experiments in human and mouse brain organoids designed to emulate changes in the human brain showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers the fusion of brain cells. This effectively short-circuits brain electrical activity and compromises function.”

“Autopsy studies of people who had severe COVID-19 but died months later from other causes showed that the virus was still present in brain tissue. This provides evidence that contrary to its name, SARS-CoV-2 is not only a respiratory virus, but it can also enter the brain in some individuals.”

“Studies show that even when the virus is mild and exclusively confined to the lungs, it can still provoke inflammation in the brain and impair brain cells’ ability to regenerate.”

“COVID-19 can also disrupt the blood brain barrier, the shield that protects the nervous system – which is the control and command center of our bodies – making it “leaky.” Studies using imaging to assess the brains of people hospitalized with COVID-19 showed disrupted or leaky blood brain barriers in those who experienced brain fog.”

“In the same study, those who had mild and resolved COVID-19 showed cognitive decline equivalent to a three-point loss of IQ. In comparison, those with unresolved persistent symptoms, such as people with persistent shortness of breath or fatigue, had a six-point loss in IQ. Those who had been admitted to the intensive care unit for COVID-19 had a nine-point loss in IQ. Reinfection with the virus contributed an additional two-point loss in IQ, as compared with no reinfection.”


None of that suggests that lockdowns or vaccines are the culprit. This is about the virus having neurological impacts that could not have been known at the time.

Shut ive had it three times and already can't remember a damn thing

Enjoy every sandwich, folks. I just got word that my great uncle passed away this morning.

Exactly. And considering a large portion of the population...on Earth...has gotten, or will still get, COVID at some point in their life, it's very concerning to find out it may be f***ing with our brains. Though I suppose it's better to find out now than to never find out.

Magic Mushrooms was believed to have been the reason for human development and increasing brain sizes, we should return to nature
