Could've fooled me. You've got 62 points of infractions just on the new system alone. That's enough to get banned 6 times over with 2 to spare.

I was recommending the Chan bar from Rogue. It’s cerakote over stainless steel, with choice of chrome or cerakote sleeves. I’d go with chrome personally. It’s built to last forever and has center kneeling for squats unlike most bars that are also suitable for Olympic lifts.

It’s probably the best all round bar, unless you favor sumo deadlift, for someone who wants to do powerlifting, bodybuilding and Olympic lifts all in one bar.

But if you just want a power bar I’d recommend something different. What kind of rep ranges do you favor? If you’re only powerlifting and keeping the rep ranges low and heavy I’d recommend something with a more aggressive knurl like the Ohio Power Bar or Texas Power Bar.

Edit: just saw you said Oly bar. I was focusing on the 5x5 at first. I’d go with the Chan bar if the price doesn’t scare you off. It’s a Jack of all trades bar as far as all that stuff goes, you can’t go wrong since you can use it for either and the materials are the best available

Fuck that is a nice bar.

I switch things up every once in a while, only back into the PLing now because I got injured just short of my goals last time, and hockey is less frequent. I will likely use this rack and bar mostly for Oly or PL lifts though - the rest is for the gym.

Seriously?

Here are two exchanges where I received cards for saying "you're fucking stupid" in the context of posts with actual substance:

Oeshon:
His contention is "Socialism is evil" not "social democracy' which is capitalism with social programs. The fact that you can't understand the difference between Socialism and Social is hilarious. Those "social programs" are variants of socialism, you dope. If socialism is evil, then its adoptions into mixed economies is evil. You can't say "socialism is evil" while supporting its applications that you like, such as public healthcare and all the others I bounced off your skull.

Again, if you are going to call someone else' fucking stupid' you should probably show you are capable of using more than two brain cells concurrently.

You're fucking stupid. You're continually owning yourself by making a semantic argument in which you're repeatedly using the very terms that prove your argument fallacious.

Also, please learn the difference between apostrophes and quotation marks. I usually wouldn't nitpick about such as thing, but you're annoying.

Oeshon
Your name is Trotsky and you don't even know what socialism is? Amazing.

All of your examples are social programs, not socialism.

Jesus, you're fucking stupid.

Social democracy political ideology that originally advocated a peaceful evolutionary transition of society from capitalism to socialism using established political processes. In the second half of the 20th century, there emerged a more moderate version of the doctrine, which generally espoused state regulation, rather than state ownership, of the means of production and extensive social welfare programs. Based on 19th-century socialism and the tenets of Karl Marxand Friedrich Engels, social democracy shares common ideological roots with communism but eschews its militancy and totalitarianism. Social democracy was originally known as revisionismbecause it represented a change in basic Marxist doctrine, primarily in the former’s repudiation of the use of revolution to establish a socialist society.

The social democratic movement grew out of the efforts of August Bebel, who with Wilhelm Liebknecht cofounded the Social Democratic Workers’ Party in 1869 and then effected the merger of their party with the General German Workers’ Union in 1875 to form what came to be called the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands). Bebel imbued social democracy with the belief that socialism must be installed through lawful means rather than by force. After the election of two Social Democrats to the Reichstag in 1871, the party grew in political strength until in 1912 it became the largest single party in voting strength, with 110 out of 397 seats in the Reichstag. The success of the Social Democratic Party in Germany encouraged the spread of social democracy to other countries in Europe.

so·cial de·moc·ra·cy
noun
  1. a socialist system of government achieved by democratic means.

But I realize that it doesn't matter what I say. Your initial contention could be that the moon is made of cheese, and you'd dig your heels in and defend the position up to the point of putting moon rocks on your ball park nachos.

The result of the above two exchanges is that Oeshon called me dumb multiple times and received nothing, yet he reported me when I called him an idiot or moron in response and I was carded twice, resulting in a temp ban. If I said "Go fuck yourself, you dumb cunt" without any actual substance to my post? There is absolutely zero percent chance I wouldn't get banned.

Here's another of me getting dubbed for saying "Read the study that article is referencing, you fucking moron" to a poster spreading COVID conspiracies:

Read the study that article is referencing, you fucking moron.

1 2 3 4. Universal screening of asymptomatic SARS-COV2 in women admitted for delivery in New York City shows that 13.7% were infected, and that asymptomatic women accounted for 88% of infected individuals in the study5. Of individuals who do become symptomatic, viral loads are the highest in the presymptomatic and early symptomatic phase, decreasing thereafter6 7 8 9 10 11 12.​

  • Respiratory droplets from infected individuals are a major mode of transmission13. This understanding is the basis of the recommendations for physical distancing, and of the PPE guidance for healthcare workers14. Droplets do not only come from coughing or sneezing: in a-/pre-symptomatic individuals, droplets are generated via talking and breathing15.
  • Face masks reduce droplet dispersal. Cloth-based face masks reduce emission of particles by variable amounts, for example Anfinrud et al15 showed that they are almost completely eliminated. Davies et al16 showed that cloth masks filtered viral particles during coughing at about 50 to 100% of the filtration efficiency of surgical masks, depending on fabric, with absolute filtration efficiencies of 50-70%, and about 70-80% for oral bacteria. van der Sande et al17 showed 50% filtering efficiency for airborne particles.
This evidence supports the conclusion that more widespread risk-based face mask adoption can help to control the Covid-19 epidemic by reducing the shedding of droplets into the environment from asymptomatic individuals. This is also consistent with the experiences of countries that have adopted this strategy.
https://rs-delve.github.io/reports/2020/05/04/face-masks-for-the-general-public.html

It literally says outright that masks reduce transmission. Experts are not disagreeing whatsoever as to whether face masks have an effect of suppressing transmission. They're disagreeing about the degree to which the masks protect the person wearing them from contracting airborne contagions.

For fuck sake, you personally temp banned me for telling a poster they shouldn't comment on minor exploitation "because of [their] extracurricular activities" because you inferred the implication of a :eek::eek::eek::eek: accusation, when it was really commenting on his use of prostitutes. And then afterwards you liked a post by a right wing troll lying that I watch girls get drugged and raped.

I haven't been in the CO thread so have no Idea what went down but Agony is pretty adamant that he wasn't celebrating or joking about the cops death... says the guy is a hero and anybody saying he wasn't a hero is a scumbag..... Any chance there was misinterpretation of posts? (Since I didn't see anything I can't/won't comment)

To me, I get people reporting porn. I wouldn't want that popping up on my work computer or my wife or kids seeing it. Other than that, they're just words on a message board. I know that you don't but the majority of people talk trash in some form or fashion. It's just how this place operates.

like @LazaRRus I get reporting pron, and imo, obvious, dishonest trolls like Ridenwithbiden and @tangata motu'a should be shit canned immediately.

politics can be a volatile subject and heated words will be exchanged undoubtedly, especially if one party is dedicated to dishonesty, and has no intent of engaging in honest/civil discourse.

I do agree with you that this place can be better, and more civil behavior should be lauded.

There shouldn't be a Report Button AND an Ignore function. It should be one or the other. If you hate seeing someones opinion, or you're tired of them trolling you, put them on Ignore. If you see something that breaks the TOS and want a mod's attention, just @ the mod and report it. The people running to the Lounge to get a mod's help because they're getting clowned after talking shit is pathetic.

Haha, I actually don't think Seano is that bad at all in terms of manners tbh, and I don't think he should be carded for that.

I'm just commenting on the glaring, open double standards that a mod would debase themselves to deny.

It was a great month the entire time you were gone. The quality of posting went up ironically.

@Seano may fly off the handle now and then, but he has a long history (and a shitload of posts) of contributing to threads and discussions, and backs up what he says. Fortunately, mods take this into account. Of course he'd be looked at differently than other posters who are almost always on dubs and have been temp banned before. He's good people, and this is coming from somebody who had years of very heated exchanges with him. Mostly about boxing stuff though.

Trotsky complaining about unfair treatment is laughable. If any other poster repeatedly posted their hatred of any race the way he does about white people, they would be banned. He's fragile and entitled and should be more thankful that he's allowed to stay here.
