    What the fuck is with people and the gym? Exercise at home, you don't need equipment you bougie fuck. Oooh boo hoo I need to wear a mask in a global fucking pandemic.

    Sorry Felix, I think you're a funny dude but I hope you're being ironic because this is a bad take.

          Him and felix are right though.

          Vaxed people don’t get very sick.

          Delta spreading so fast will kill off the unvaxxed idiots or give those who survive temporary immunity just like the vaccine. Fuck em.

          The time for worrying about this shit is over.

          Fuck the unvaxxed.

          Kids die of the flu at a higher rate than covid.

          Vaccine eligible people who can’t get it because of some crazy disease or whatever had the same problems with the flu before covid.

          There’s no group left that still needs the protection of all of society changing how it operates. (Except the victims of capitalism, we still need to overthrow that.)

              1 Those people had the same problem before covid. Covid is not the only airborne disease in the world. Did you wear a mask for them then? Oh? why not, you horrible murderer?

              2 Whether vaccinated people wear masks at the gym will not be the factor that determines whether another mutation emerges.

              3 I’m not against indoor masks at places that are not the gym, where you are working out and breathing hard. Essential places like grocery stores should require them be worn by everyone, but OPTIONAL indoor dishes such as bars restaurants or gyms should not require them. If you have special needs don’t go to those places, SAME AS BEFORE COVID.

              4 Everyone jumps to thinking people are anti-mask in general just because it’s obvious that it’s stupid in a gym setting. Grow up.

              5 Vaccinated people do not get seriously ill. Did you used to wear a mask before covid because of the cold or flu? If no then you have no ground to stand on.

              You think that you will get to be immune or opt out of our great mass extinction? Think again!

                Lots of people have become compromised in some way since covid started. You're being super heartless.

                My dad died in all this shit. His cancer was not severe before covid, but it became severe during covid. He would have been exactly one of the people you're saying you don't give a shit about right now.

                He is dead because of all this shit. Of course he was on his way out anyway, but I could have had more time with him if circumstances were better. People refusing to care about others is exactly why he died earlier than he should have, because there was no oxygen available, because covid patients had used it all.

                It's not just covid people you're affecting. There is a huge knock on effect in the resources drained from the system that goes to literally EVERY single other life in need of saving and care.

                Please, really think this over. We deserved more time with him and it was stolen from us by a completely useless covid response that caused knock on effects for people entirely unrelated to covid. He absolutely wouldn't have gone when he did if oxygen were available that night, but it wasn't.

                    I'm sharing a personal experience about a person affected by covid who died not because he caught covid but because infections of other people affects the healthcare that can be provided to ALL people in urgent care. The point isn't to emotionally manipulate, it just happens to be what I've actually experienced first hand. You're acting like healthcare is an infinite resource and that completely unrelated people don't get affected if thousands of covid patients are in the system, that's simply not the case, the more people that are in the system the worse the system gets for everyone due to resource drain.

                    Also, you're a fucking asshole.

                      yeah that's true, that's why i think the unvaccinated (who could have gotten the vaccine) should be denied medical care if they catch covid. but the liberal establishment won't let that happen.

                      also sorry to hear about your dad! i miss mine too.

                          No everyone should get healthcare. But in a crisis where care must be rationed because capitalist pigs didn’t build enough healthcare infrastructure, selfish unvaccinated pricks should be the ones to be left out. But they won’t be, because many of them have money to buy themselves care in this capitalist hellworld.

                        Sure. Nobody will let that happen. So don't go around advocating an attitude that ultimately ends up leading to lots of people being hurt that don't deserve it. You're advocating not giving a crap about wearing masks because you don't care about these unvaccinated jerks but you should care about the effect the spread has on people that are completely unrelated to covid.

                          No i think people should wear masks indoors when they can. Definitely anywhere that is an essential place like a grocery store or post office etc etc

                          The gym seems like a crappy place to have to wear one. Same with like a bar.

                You keep using this boomer line about covid being just like the flu. The flu kills an average of ~36,000 people in the US per year. In the last year, covid has killed ~460,000 people in the US. That's with ongoing vaccine rollout for the majority of that period. Yeah, people change their fucking behaviors when we go from dealing with the flu, to what is effectively more than a dozen simultaneous flu seasons.

                You're pointing to the fact that people weren't careful around medically vulnerable people before to justify that when they are now facing a far more dire situation we shouldn't care if they die.

                  post what I wrote in context next time instead of trying to create a strawman to virtue signal against. it's pathetic.

                  I wrote that in the context of replying to this: "also fun stuff today like that article re: an outbreak in Massachusetts had 75% of cases involving vaccinated individuals. Yeah, wow, you’re less likely to die, and probably won’t be severely crippled, enjoy your lifelong cough- hope the next wave of SuperCovid doesn’t finish the job!"

                  the flu killed people before covid but no one wore masks for that. then came covid and it killed 10x the people as the flu, so people wore masks. now vaccinated people have lowered their risk of dying of Covid back to flu-like levels or less thanks to the vaccine. so they're taking off the masks. this is completely different than a bommer anti-mask argument that conflated the flu with covid in the context of no vaccine being available. but you just want to create a strawman to virtue signal against. why is it? why is making yourself feel righteous so important to you that you'd mis-represent my arguments? stop being a :LIB:

                    I replied directly to your comment, the context is right there for anyone to see.

                    If masks only protected the wearer, I wouldn't care if vaccinated people wore them. But we know that with the delta variant, and the effects of the vaccine wearing down over time, vaccinated people are going to be an increasing part of keeping the virus spreading through the population.

                    People who can't get vaccines are still in as much danger if they catch covid as they were before the vaccine. If vaccinated people stop caring about them because they personally are protected from consequences that makes them assholes.

                    1 Those people had the same problem before covid. Covid is not the only airborne disease in the world. Did you wear a mask for them then? Oh? why not, you horrible murderer?

                    You are pushing for acceptance of vulnerable people dying preventable deaths, because vulnerable people have died preventable deaths in the past. I have a problem with that. I keep rereading your comments for more 'context', but nothing changes the apparent message here. If you think that's wrong, maybe rethink what you wrote.

                    I'm done with this conversation. I've already said everything I'm choosing to say.

                This line of reasoning will result in more more new strains that will not be affected by the vaccine. This will put us back at square one again or maybe even worse because who knows what the new strains will be like. You're risking mountains of corpses because you don't like wearing a bit of fabric, don't be like this.

                that's 19% of the 60% of vaccinated people who get breakthrough cases. starts to be a small number. and "long covid" can mean so many different things. from the mundane to the crippling. i don't know a ton about long covid but I think the number of vaccinated people who end up with severe long covid is going to be similar to the number of people who end up with long term problems from getting the flu. I guess we shall see!

                  I think I’m particularly sensitive to not taking risks as a healthy, double vaxxed friend of mine in his 30s ended up in the ICU with Delta. He’s doing better now, albeit still exhausted a month after being discharged. I know very well that he’s an extreme outlier, but it was still scary and heightened the risk for me, perhaps unreasonably so.

                  Personally I don’t have a problem maintaining NPIs like masks and distancing as long as possible, to reduce the reproduction (and hence mutation) rate to increase the chances of a lasting return to safety. Sadly, I think it’s going to be moot discussion regardless of what the CDC recommends now though, Delta is going to do what it’s going to do, both in terms of direct harm and new variants.

                              people being forced to be vaccinated and having a lockdown for a month with full support for everyone's needs is what should have been implemented, but it wasn't.

                              masks are a pathetic attempt at a half ass solution by capitalist pigs. but yes, let's all continue to virtue signal like the consumer piggies we were trained to be about our individual choices about masks. :LIB: shit.

                              we don't need masks anywhere if people are vaccinated. and if they aren't they shouldn't go to the GYM.

                                Masks are literally the solution that the Chinese pioneered. That's a big part of why Western piggies have so much hate for them- for pieces of cloth that go in front of your mouth.

                                Saying "we don't need masks if everyone is vaccinated" is firstly outright wrong: you can still transmit and catch the virus if you've been vaccinated. Secondly, it's one hell of an inversion. Where were you last year when China led the world in stopping the spread of the virus, largely due to popular willingness to mostly stay at home and wear masks in public?

                                  BTW masks were worn during the Spanish flu in 1918. Masks have been known about since the Middle Ages. I guess i should have said “masks alone” in the comment you replied to.

                                I mean, obviously we wouldn't need masks if people were vaccinated but welcome to hellworld where people aren't.

                                  The vaccine doesn't kill the virus so we should still wear masks until it is gone IMO. Or we will just get a new vaccine resisting strain that will start us back at the beginning.

            Delta spreading so fast will kill off the unvaxxed idiots or give those who survive temporary immunity just like the vaccine. Fuck em.

            Yes, I am quite certain that the virus will kill all the people who deserve it, and won't disproportionately kill the poor and vulnerable.

            It is, unfortunately, a complicated topic. The largest unvaccinated group in the US are the uninsured, with 52% having received no doses. People without insurance literally do not believe it’s free (can you blame them? They’re also partly right that plenty of health businesses will try and charge them in some capacity)

            The second least vaccinated group are Republicans at 48% having received no doses.

            There are large societal forces at work here. What it means, I dunno. But I do think it’s worth considering. Much of this is largely a foregone conclusion at this point. I agree that “fuck some people” is correct, I’m just not sure that “the unvaccinated” as a whole should be that group.

      Personally I don't have motivation at home. Also it's unbearably hot outside so I can't run.

      Plus my gym is ran by my school and membership is included. Also I get a bonus if I swipe in a set number of times.

      And it's a relatively small town so when I go after hours it's just me so I don't need to mask up or else I probably wouldn't go because masking up while working out is a new level of hell I'm not willing to deal with.

          There’s 6 of them and they fund a lot of projects, so they all make about $75k/year. High-level financial breakdowns have been published in the past. They’re not just sitting at home jerking off all day, there are expenses to any business

            because divided by the 6 of them, it works out to ~$326,700 each per year

              For their projects, you can look up the political projects they fund just as a start, it’s not insignificant. Social projects are harder to find, but again at least Felix or Chris is posting one about every month. They’ve got several media projects ongoing now, and all of their projects have costs.

              I’m not trawling through Twitter to find them, but Felix has posted and talked about their financial details. I’m choosing to believe them because they don’t have a good reason to lie and they’ve got plenty of reason to not lie, given that there’s still plenty of people raking them over the coals even with this stuff.

                                    Take out was still a thing. There isn't much room for dining space in most buildings in my general area so most places had about half their business be from takeout before the pandemic anyway. I also worked in a restaurant beforehand so I want too big on going and sitting down for a meal in one on that regular of a basis since it reminded me of work.

                Why not? It's hardly a inconvenience and I can cover my face while shoplifting. Tossing a mask on when I go to an indoor public space on the off chance it may prevent someone from getting sick is totally worth it to me. Just cause someone may be more compassionate than you're capable of doesn't mean they're lying.

                    Yeah, but I assume some of them used to leave their house, with a mask or what not, at least occasionally. Now with delta this kind of behavior has a higher chance to fuck them up, hence making them stay home more, which is why I think it is fair to say that they have to worry now more than before.

    Shit it kinda sucks that governments don't listen to doctors. The moment we opened up and millions upon millions were getting covid in India and Brazil, escape mutations were inevitable. The world needed a Chinese level lockdown to stop the virus. China can do it again and again as needed since they have the central planning to do so. But for the rest of the world it doesn't matter when case loads in India or Brazil, for example, are through the roof. Inevitably new strains will come over like Delta did in UK and now everywhere else. In conclusion, Wearing masks is the absolute least we should be doing.

        most exercises can be done in a small area in a short period of time. my bf is a bodybuilder and makes use of a 5x5 foot area where our dining room should be. he lifts for about 30 minutes each day and bikes to the grocery store afterwards

        i have abs and i got them just from doing weightless workouts. generally it just matters the volume of what youre lifting. if you want your workout to not take long you need to work the weight up

          Glad that works for you. My point is what's wrong with having ideally community gyms free to all. I find the equipment extremely helpful and many need it for physical therapy or to build enough strength to do more aerobic/free weight lifting.

            lunges help with abs too, just be sure you keep your core tight and try to balance with your glutes and abs
