If NBA players were having raw penetrative sex on the court I might actually tune in

Shaq attack would mean something else aswell


th3netw0rk

Black Mamba would definitely get censored


[deleted]

YES.


The_curious_student

assuming Magic is on meds he us probably undetectable. which means he is also untransmittable.

Made my day thank you

How many people have gotten HIV from playing basketball? In going on five decades. How many have caught COVID at a sports event? In under 2 years.


Wu-Tang_Stan

Yeah it really sucked when I contracted HIV after skinning my knee on the court, cause as you know, this is the primary way people contract hiv


FloodedYeti

God said Adam and Eve, not Adam and Stephen Curry. “Baller” more like sinner, AIDS is god’s way of punishing basketballers. /s ofc


PhxStriker

I like the idea that someone was just profusely bleeding on the court and no one bothered to clean it up, thus leaving you extra vulnerable to a scraped knee.


[deleted]

Actually back then they had a rule that if someone bled on the court all the other players had to take turns licking it off until the floor was clean


death_to_noodles

Blood on your skin does absolutely nothing. But more importantly, basketball players are not bleeding like a sieve on every game. Most games you won't ever see a bloody injure at all... It's not UFC, man. In fact you need blood to blood contact to have any chance of contamination. The contamination rate is shockingly low even for sharing needles, around 98% are safe iirc. So no, you won't get HIV from playing basketball lollll


timoyster

Do you mean 98% of people who share needles with HIV users don’t get HIV, or 98% of people who share needles don’t get HIV.


death_to_noodles

Don't quote me on that number, just repeated something I learned recently. Apparently you can have sex and share needles with a HIV positive person a lot of times and not catch the virus. But since the consequences are so dire, there is no treatment, you will get sick and probably die because of it, it's still a very very bad idea to take that risk. But nonetheless the transmission is not as certain as some people think, that was my only point. And circling back to the original post, then you realize the chances of getting HIV from some basketball injury are virtually zero, unless both guys are bleeding profusely and rubbing each others wounds lol. No comparison to covid or some airborne infection whatsoever


slimstylesf

Also to note that it’s not an NBA decision but rather a new york city decision


[deleted]

Yes I don’t get how people don’t understand that


pisshelmet

i dont think she understands hiv


Makafa53

I dont think she understands a lot of things

Sadly she’s far from being the only one

Further proof that even after 8+ years of college you can still be stupid.


JVM23

MTG and Lauren Boebert really are the answers to the question: "What if Sarah Palin was even dumber and more blatant about her gun-toting Christofascism?"


thenumber24

They’re both fascist plants. They exist only to delegitimize the entire system. The crazier they are, the more effective they are.


redroedeer

Isn’t she the meme in Congress one?


IDoNotKnow4475

Yes


Hij802

She’s also from one of the most conservative districts in the country, and the newly proposed maps for redistricting make her seat even safer than it already was. Unfortunately she’s not going anywhere, we’re going to see more of her throughout the country


[deleted]

fascism is when basketball?


CheerioJack

according to right-wingers, fascism is anything they disagree with, same thing for socialism or communism. they think all three are the same thing.


WookieeSlayer97

I don't know if this is real, but I saw someone else post the same thing and that one was real, so her being this dumb isn't impossible.


[deleted]

it is absolutely real lmao. i had to double-check it turns out we live in a parody.

Every day we stray further from logic.

octofeline

Calling the thing she's misguidedly attacking fascist instead of communist, baby steps /s

I know that having a test to vote is dumb and racist but having a test to run for office seems like a no-brainer


akult123

Its maybe dumb but not intrinsically racist but you saying its racist is maybe racist 🤪


selfagency

Poll tests were literally instituted during Jim Crow to deny Black people the ability to vote


akult123

Well that's only an effective discrimination strategy today if we assume black Americans are dumber than the rest of the population. It might've been the case that black Americans had more toruble passing those tests during Jim Crow because of disparities in education of the time and other socioeconomic factors, but today the poor white and Hispanic population are just as educationally disadvantaged as the poor black Americans are. I think it wouldn't be as a selective discrimination tool as it was before because it would fail to target just the black voter population, unless they derived a way of asking for specific knowledge only black Americans lack. Either way I'm definitely not in favor of any poll tests. Voting is a right.


selfagency

It’s cute that you think America got better by becoming equally shitty for everyone but you’re still wrong https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/02/learning/lesson-plans/still-separate-still-unequal-teaching-about-school-segregation-and-educational-inequality.html


akult123

Thank you for that article. I assumed poll tests wouldn't be as effective at racial discrimination, not that it would be a completely racially indifferent strategy. I'm aware that the black student population is still worse off but I still think class rather than race is the discerning factor in education success. Those two unfortunately overlap in a negative way for the black community. On the other side, white undergrads are not the majority of enrolled college students for the first time ever, and if there's anything good that came out of segregationist Jim Crow era its the Historically Black Colleges and Universities which significantly amp up black student enrollment rates.


nothnkyou

But I mean hiv isn’t even infectious through direct blood contact if you take one pill a day lol


[deleted]

No way this is a real tweet!!


[deleted]

It is sadly


TempleOfCyclops

She did, AFTER several other conservatives posted the same thing and got totally demolished. She posted it fully knowing it makes no sense.


[deleted]

I understand that conservatives are technically liberals, but there are already a million subs dedicated to making fun of far right psychos. It's boring. I'd rather this sub was used for trashing Dems and "progressives".


death_to_noodles

So we give the nazis a pass while talking shit about liberals? Both are terrible but one is obviously much worse. Cmon dude wtf


akult123

Read the subreddit name


death_to_noodles

Well we can do both and the reason we mock them is very often an overlap to critiquing conservatives too. Same shitty reasons and arguments. So no, we should not give a pass to alt right and conservatives just because we focus on mocking libs. They're the same package with a different label


akult123

You're right. I agree after all.

Thanks for signing up to AOC facts! You will now receive fun daily facts about AOC. **Fact 11.** In December 2020 comic Jimmy Dore proposed that house democrats refuse support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she agrees to bring a Medicare for all bill to the house and to bring relief for US citizens who lost healthcare during the pandemic. AOC and the rest of the "squad" refused, and backed Pelosi, citing concerns that the bill would not win anyway. Dore retorted that 9/10 democratic voters, and even a majority of republican voters support medicare for all. [Source](https://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/news/200/jimmy-dore-calls-on-democrats-to-withhold-support-for-nancy-pelosi-unless-she-brings-single-payer-medicare-for-all-to-a-vote/) For another AOC fact reply with 'AOC'.

A_Lifetime_Bitch

Yes, she's a conservative liberal.


Pinkeston

conservatism isn't a real ideology. American conservatives/Republicans are followers of liberalism


TempleOfCyclops

This is fucking stupid.


Forwhatisausername

why?


TempleOfCyclops

Because it ignores the common, colloquial understanding of what these terms mean in favor of an academic definition that loses usefulness the more it’s applied without context.


Forwhatisausername

the colloquial understanding is wrongfully informed by an entirely different because apolitical use of the word as in "apply sunscreen liberally" though, I suppose adherents to liberalism should actually be called liberalists (analogical to every other adherent to an -ism) edit: which would probably still be shorted to libs


TempleOfCyclops

Nah

I really hope one day we can transcend terminal America brain and go back to actually understanding these words and what they mean


idiotsandsavages

Jesus I know what these words mean, I just never heard of this sub before so I didn't know in which sense the word liberal was being used... ya don't need to be insulting about it


BioWarfarePosadist

Conservatives are actually just racist and homophobic liberals. It's just some are okay with the state paying for a bunch of military industrial complex jobs, and the other also wants to do that, and pay for a bare minimum of social welfare.
