I have no choice but to abandon gummunibm and reassert myself as a Marxist-Leninist-Bidenist.

No but seriously, it seems like Russia sucks. Thoughts? Does this inform your perspective on Ukraine at all? Does this speak to the biases of the film maker? Are you like "fuck the Olympics anyway"? In essence: you seein this shit?

And some athletes in strength sport for instance are hyper responsive to peds that others wouldn't get the same results. And like you say they still have to contend with their regimen. Its not uncommon for them to play through injuries and just thug it out. Hell I won't be surprised if haliburton was ignoring some warning signs abour his achilles before it snapped

I am convinced that most star basketball players are on PEDs (LeBron especially sweats and acts like he is on anabolics, but it could just be because he is old) at least that help them ignore pain, because injuries in star basketball players used to be related to chronic knee and ankle pain which would force them to sit out for multiple minutes, but not generally devastating ligament injuries. I think it also can lead to side effects like distracted thinking, which is why Hallie would just essentially mentally drop out of games every now and then, though that could just be him playing through pain too.

Convinced too that they on something. Guys play 50-80 games a year and the pace they move at with their tall body types and the sharp turns they take can't be good. Plus some of their training is..... Puzzling. This vid Anthony davis using a weight vest jump and landing on ONE LEG at a constant change in direction. Its already stressful since he weighs 115 kg but doing that with a weight vest is a recipe for disaster and hes missed over 200 games due to injury. Then adding peds sadness-abysmal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SWvPq_2Obb0&pp=ygUiQW50aG9ueSBkYXZpcyB0cmFpbmluZyB3ZWlnaHQgdmVzdA%3D%3D
