Frankly, she's a shitty person with a bizarre sense of entitlement and this board only encourages her attention seeking bullshit. The Jen thing is a Jen thing, not a girl thing.

If they aren't, however, sensible risk analysis still dictates that one should take the AZ (or J&J) shot, since it's less likely to cause harm than remaining unvaccinated is. I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but frankly I'm in no rush to get the vaccine. I've gone a year+ without catching Covid, I'm not whipped into a fear frenzy about it.

Jack might be the one person here that I'd worry about fighting, but I also know he has the discipline to stop if he gets the upper hand because he's probably the only one that has fought more than I have.

I understand being how being taken advantage of can make one reluctant to make themselves vulnerable again, but I really question how being so callous can be helpful for you. It just seems like it leads to continuous conflict. I pick and choose my battles IRL. Where there are real stakes. I've been in the middle of some shit you could never comprehend. Ever stop by a spot on the way home from work for some weed and some coke for the weekend only to leave empty handed with a gun drawn in one hand and dragging a friend by his collar with the other because they didn't tell you they owed this dude like $5000 before you walked in? That's the sort of shit I used to deal with on the regular. A pregnant female friend is sick of getting beat up by her man and scrambles to move out if her apartment while the dude is at work? An on and off ex that got hooked on heroin and started stripping showing up in your doorstep like a stray cat for years.. schizophrenic and off her meds...how about burying a dozen people your own age in a dozen years the first 12 years out if high school? We're not even getting into my childhood. Here, online? Pfft. 6 of you know me. I've met 3 of you IRL. 3 of you I've done business with. Other than that, you're all just a username.

My life wasn't some after school special where I fought back and was left alone all happy ever after. They just came back harder. At some point it became more about just getting through it in one piece over getting my shots in. That's why I say fuck pride. Then let's just say we've had vastly different experiences where fights are concerned. I'm prideful because I earned my pride. There's something to be said for being a 5' 9" 185lb seething ball of rage held together by a thin veneer of civility. I had a rough childhood and grew up surrounded by a very rough crowd with some genuine psychopaths. My primal rage is my sword and shield. I have no shame. I have no problem owning who I am. I have no problem with kicking someone's ass or getting my ass kicked. I give as good as I get and that's how I've survived 42 years and counting. --- I don't fight my demons, we're on the same side. |

That is quite disingenuous, but you do you. I never said bullying was ok, trans or not. I am however suggesting that bitching out and letting the bullies win so you can be a snowflake about it is not a winning strategy. I'm not the one complaining about being bullied 20 years after the fact. Because I handled my shit. If standing up for myself makes me an asshole, you're damned right I'm going to wear that as a badge of honor. Many of those bullies went on to be some of my best allies down the line. Wearing victimhood like a badge is the shameful route. When you run from coyotes, they see you as prey. 20 years later you're still flinching from a bully that went on to live their life and they haven't given you a second thought since then, meanwhile you're still that same kid afraid of them.

I'll not be shamed for growing a pair and showing I have a fucking spine. I'm not bitching decades later about how mean those bullies were to me because I beat my bullies. It seems I was part of the last generation that knew how to handle a bully, and it wasn't huggie bookies and coloring books. Sometimes, an asshole just needs to be punched in the face.

IronBornCorps posted... Pretty sure this interaction started with me agreeing with Fa and you going REALLY?! Pretty sure you're backpedaling because you don't like what was said. adjl posted... Nobody's saying that bullying means trans people can't participate in sports. Just that it makes it less accessible, much like sports are less accessible for poor kids. It's not impossible to stubbornly tough it out and access those sports in spite of the accessibility issues, just decidedly harder and less pleasant than it would be for somebody without them, meaning kids with those accessibility issues are likely to seek out other pastimes. And I said my piece as someone that toughed it out against the odds. What's the endgame of coming at me for that? Shall I what, genuflect to y'all now 20-odd years later instead of the bullies I fought back against back then? That's a no-sell. Sorry not sorry. I came out on the other side of those experiences faster, stronger, tougher, and meaner. Am I supposed to regret that? It made me a better person. I'm not the one pissing and moaning 20 years later about how I was denied my rightful place on the dias because I fought for my place there.

| TheNobleWoodApe 04/14/21 7:55:14 PM #18 | adjl posted... That's the reason for suspecting an association, but determining there to actually be one requires comparing them to a control group and looking more in-depth at potential causes, especially when it's happening so rarely. It's intuitive, but there is more to it than that. And you're not wrong. But I see no problem with shelving the J&J jab either under the circumstances. The vast majority of us have made it over a year without catching Covid. There are other vaccine options. If we're in such a hurry to use the general populace as guinea pigs with these untested vaccines, fine...but if a prophylactic measure to prevent a disease someone doesn't yet have is killing people, that's a pretty big "side effect" to consider. If the blood clots are killing more people directly than the risk of catching Covid would on its own, that particular vaccine isn't worth the risk at all.

Frankly, It allows you to console yourself for bitching out instead of growing a spine and standing up for yourself back then. It gave you an out which you took and can always point back to that as a reason. Like minded people will sympathize with you taking the easy out. Poor me. Rather than doubling down, embracing the suck, using that energy to git gud and being the best gay wrestler on the team. I'm with your coach on this one tbh. I got pushed around at first as a poor kid that got into hockey paying for his own gear in a rich town. I got mad. I used that energy to get stronger and play harder. I ended up being the enforcer on a state championship team. I used to knock Topher Grace on his ass for funnies in the travel league. I don't have a lot of sympathy in this particular case.
