yeah my drummer realised he had it a few months ago
luckily hes like 19
That happened to me. Bones fused at 14 due to a course of steroids I had to go on for inflammatory bowel disease. I'm 180cm though so happy enough at where I got to.
had to cancell on us for a show, completely understandable,
and we managed to have our other guitarist play drums
it sucks, I have been going to the gym or go running every day for the last 6 months and count calories and don't eat crap, and I've only lost like 10 pounds in that timespan
but it does show it is possible even with your body working against you
Exactly my point. You don't just magically become fat
Well, hopefully only good things from here on now. Once you start your treatment
A reason all this talk of "privilege" really rankles with me is that really health and wealth are the only privileges. And this shit about skin colour or eating too many pizzas steals focus away from the real issues such as safeguarding our health or making sure people have roofs over their heads.
the most unfortunate side effect is the divirtion of aiming for strength
You mean how it valourizes victimhood? Or makes a virtue of victimhood?
people strive to be the biggest victim, over becoming as strong as possible
diverts people away from becoming strong
Sure
essentially ensuring the maximising of their own suffering
Hmm, most of it is pseudo-suffering though, that was my point. Having black skin is not a problem. Having cancer is.
yeah
But I know what you mean though, it's the mentality it injects.
i find gaad sad has a good hypothesis
Ha! yeah, good way to put it!
where people are using the "oppression" of other people to garner attention for themselves on the behalf of these minorities
regardless of wether these minorities agree with their beleifs of oppresion or not
i like his term OPS
Ostritch Parasitic Syndrome
how progressivism makes people bury their heads in the sand
even if tis based on teh myth that ostritches bury their heads in teh sand
how it spreads liek an ideological parasite
The latest Sam Harris podcast is a discussion with Coleman Hughes, who's just a philosophy student but has some great thinking on race. He made that point on the podcast that actually many of the "oppressed groups" don't generally agree with the victim status being foisted upon them by the critical theorists/SJWs.
XD
my favourite thing to pull on progressives
When you poll blacks, many of them don't want affirmative action, for example.
is how progressivism itself is a white invention from teh 1st world
its a symptom of peak privledge
Yes, absolutely. Thomas Sowell calls these guys "the anointed", in that they seem to think they have a divine mandate to engineer society to their tastes.
fuck critical race/gender theory
great for studying how these people think
crap for applying to any aspect of reality
Problem is it's graduates from these fields of academia who make up many of the journalists in our media. So they're creating the mass output which the public passively tunes into and it effects the broader culture. It shapes people's worldviews. Sounds silly to say but us here are the "woke" or "red-pilled" minority in that we're aware of this going on. Most people are oblivious to who controls the message they hear.
yeah we are defs in teh minority compared to these academic circles
