    This trope annoys me for being "factually inaccurate", which is dumb because I don't even believe in this stuff. I guess the term I'm looking for is non-canon. "In the canon of all Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), angels are a separate order of creation from humanity...

    R.I.P Ruth Bader Ginsberg

    McConnell's refusal to approve Garland was unprecedented. He set a new precedent and is now refusing to follow it. How difficult is that for you to understand?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Plenty of cyclists have drivers licenses, own cars, and pay registration. In some cities, if everyone bike commuting to work suddenly decided to give it up and start driving, traffic would be worsened to the point where you'd wish you never complained about cyclists.

    Counter-point: the size of a planet in the background of an image means nothing about how close it is because its size in the image is not only a function of its absolute size and distance but also the focal length of the lense used to capture the image. For example, here's a real photo of the...

    Longer isn't necessarily more impressive. In the same way you find marathoners insufferable, I think lots of marathoners find ultrarunners insufferable because the longer the event the less natural talent is needed and the performance becomes about how many hours of training you can squeeze into...

    It doesn't recoup the cost but it's unethical to enslave people based on laws that are not applied consistently to all groups.

    Are you new here? Post a fucking picture. Racial standards used in the United States for hundreds of years to dehumanize, segregate and mistreat black people say he's black. Your "opinion" otherwise means very little. The only silencing that's happening here is being done by people spreading...

    Did you read the article I linked? He's publicly stated that the man listed on his birth certificate is not his father. Also look at his picture from high school in the article. Not sure if that picture of him as a child is real or not so you might want to take that with a grain of salt. Even if...

    It's because they understand that removing a mask properly involves washing or sanitizing your hands twice. If you've just gone to the grocery store and then need to walk through your apartment hallways to get back to your unit, it makes a lot more sense to just keep it on.

    I think the first step to climbing is realizing that you are who is holding back your sr. This will help you be tilt proof as someone else said is super important.

    did ya'll ever check to see whether Curse still has their database of vanguard items? It was player submitted so the drop rates aren't right, but it at least said which mobs dropped which heroics. I know there were more recent databases but they were more focused on end-game content.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    You have a low aerobic threshold which basically means your muscles are bad at consuming lactate and bad at burning fat for energy. If you want to improve this you'll have to do hundreds of hours of running at an embarrassingly slow pace. If you just like sprinting and don't actually care about...

    I should know better than to respond.... This is a bit of a sidetrack though since I think you're original argument is about weight loss rather than sports performance. But there's good evidence that low carb diets in the long-term are helpful for aerobic performance, especially for beginner...

    I'm not sure if this has been touched on but from what i understand what you feed your gut flora is way more important than actually providing any special bacterial culture.

    It's a term to describe the fact that people of color are frequently disproportionate victims of pollution and i guess also natural disasters. You may not like the term, but statistically speaking this is a very real phenomenon.
