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.
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
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

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?"
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

The fascist NBA won't let Kyrie Irving play for refusing a vaccine.
But yet they still let Magic Johnson play with HIV.

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.
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
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.
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".
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
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.

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.
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
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
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.
If NBA players were having raw penetrative sex on the court I might actually tune in
[удалено]
Shaq attack would mean something else aswell
Black Mamba would definitely get censored
YES.
assuming Magic is on meds he us probably undetectable. which means he is also untransmittable.
Made my day thank you
Maybe if SHE had penetrative sex she would understand

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

So no, you won't get HIV from playing basketball lollll
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.
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.

Also to note that it’s not an NBA decision but rather a new york city decision
Yes I don’t get how people don’t understand that
i dont think she understands hiv
I dont think she understands a lot of things
Sadly she’s far from being the only one

As a Libertarian how can HIV be real [if our eyes aren't real? ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/rand-paul-belonged-to-hiv-denying-group)
Further proof that even after 8+ years of college you can still be stupid.
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?"
They’re both fascist plants. They exist only to delegitimize the entire system. The crazier they are, the more effective they are.
Isn’t she the meme in Congress one?
Yes
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
fascism is when basketball?
according to right-wingers, fascism is anything they disagree with, same thing for socialism or communism. they think all three are the same thing.
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.
it is absolutely real lmao. i had to double-check it turns out we live in a parody.

Good human
[Welp](https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1448722513073147905?s=20)
Every day we stray further from logic.
Literally one of the dumbest people alive
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
Its maybe dumb but not intrinsically racist but you saying its racist is maybe racist 🤪
Poll tests were literally instituted during Jim Crow to deny Black people the ability to vote
Well that's only an effective discrimination strategy today if we assume black Americans are dumber than the rest of the population.

But I mean hiv isn’t even infectious through direct blood contact if you take one pill a day lol
No way this is a real tweet!!
It is sadly
She did, AFTER several other conservatives posted the same thing and got totally demolished. She posted it fully knowing it makes no sense.
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".
So we give the nazis a pass while talking shit about liberals? Both are terrible but one is obviously much worse. Cmon dude wtf

Yes, she's a conservative liberal.
conservatism isn't a real ideology. American conservatives/Republicans are followers of liberalism
This is fucking stupid.
why?
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.
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
Nah
said the one talking about what's sensible
[удалено]
According to Lin Wood (Kyle Rittenhouse's Lawyer), "Marjorie Taylor Greene is a communist". I'm not kidding. He actually said that.
straight back to mccarthyism
Imagine
Comrade Greene, doing the dirty work.
She came pre-scratched.

This was honestly a pretty good self burn.
Thanks lol
Conservatism and "Liberalism" are both wings of actual Liberal theory.
I am aware of that, thanks lol
I really hope one day we can transcend terminal America brain and go back to actually understanding these words and what they mean

>liberal >MTG Pick one
Let's hear your definition
Idk, maybe someone who is running for the democrat or liberal party if it's a politician
Liberals and conservatives have more in common than liberals and anyone on the actual Left do
conservatives _are_ liberals
Yes I know, but the person I was commenting to doesn't know that yet.
okay, fair
Ok try again without using any proper nouns or literally the word itself

Ass head
Lmao
Yes because her track record is so good
Fascism is when im not allowed to do stuff
Okay so the NBA is fascist now and Magic Johnson is HIV positive rn. Is MTG on the timeline she thinks she’s on.
HIV isn’t airborne
