While I'm not too well-versed on steroids, I think him taking those made him hang into those muscles far longer than the average person before they finally deteriorated at the price of damaging his body anyway.
And he's also a bodybuilder at that, where people starve and dehydrate themselves to show off the muscles definition on contests.

Oh yeah if they are on 'roids on top of being one of those over-the-top body-builders, then yeah I can imagine muscle decay - and dangerously so.

It was brought up as a "fun-fact" in a work-related training course involving snake venom, but that when people build muscle like that and then it decays it basically gives you the same long-term lingering effects of a myotoxic (muscle-atrophying) snake bite (see: Tiger rattlesnakes, Eastern Diamondbacks, some species of Asiatic Kraits) where the decaying muscles end up fucking with your kidneys & liver.

I understand working out and even getting a little cut to up your game with the ladies, but why someone would go so far as to live a lifestyle with those kinds of risks is beyond me (and no the irony isn't lost on me)

Friend at U of M overheard an NP talking about she's forcing her 22 yo son to take the vaccine and that supposedly even his gf threatened to leave his ass if he refused. So of course he bitched out and got it.

Ann Arbor women, not even once.

Historically, Ann Arbor has been quite liberal. So, this isn't surprising. If I recall, the number of COVID cases coming from University of Michigan students at one point led the county to impose restrictions that were more strict than the state's at the time and few residents batted an eye. So, the idea that residents want to get vaccinated and will shame family and loved ones into getting vaccines is par for the course even if sounds horrifying.

I'm so fed up of people saying "No, it'll be November next year!" or that it'll take a long time and be very very grim. Luckily where I am right now, it's entirely covid free. We don't have to wear masks or sanitize.

Despite the national media outlets and news reports already claiming there's already an increase of COVID cases nationwide even before Christmas arrives, my county's dashboard tells a different story. Both today's case totals and the weekly average continue to decrease. Despite having nine deaths now in the past seven days, there hasn't been one reported for the past four days. Although I know different parts of the US may be seeing increasing numbers, it still goes the show that the media will say whatever it has to in order for the public to stay in a state of frenzy and panic.

I don't see any correlation in time with my being sick, but after 9 months of lockdown, I've noticed that long walking trips exhaust me in a way they never used to.

With COVID restrictions taking away most, if not all, opportunities people had for staying physically active and fit, it's not surprising they'd feel a bit out of shape when they finally had the chance to resume their fitness activity. Whether it was a feeling of exhaustion or simply feeling a half-step slower than usual, it's to be expected after being physically inactive for multiple months at a time due to factors outside their control. I imagine people will have to find a way to gradually work their way back to their previous fitness level while hoping and praying that their physical activity isn't greatly curtailed yet again but new restrictions.

Speaking of restrictions, I find it more than coincidental that Michigan's restrictions are set to last through 15-Jan-2021 -- exactly two weeks after New Year's. Inb4 Whitmer claims that holiday get-togethers have led to a spike on/around the 15th and she needs to bring back the restrictions that were just lifted.

Almost all of the restaurants that shut down or reduced business set off a mouse and rat Hunger Games, to this day we are fighting an ever escalating battle against more and more aggressive rodents. They are bold and getting cannibalistic. If I don't take my trash out right away and set it by the back door they try to attack the bag and squeak loudly in frustration. You can never kill enough of them. One of the many side consequences of these shutdowns.
Mousemageddon 2020.

The money going to Biden anything is galling. They raised more than 5 billion dollars. They shouldn't need a penny for anything their entire term. Also investigate a 1908 race riot? Why not just leave the anti-white race instigation to HBO?

Maybe she's "asking" for "privacy" because she's dead or is suffering from ill side effects that would prove that the plebs have a right to be sceptical about a vaccine that was rushed through production.

Or maybe she no longer wants to pander propaganda. Who the hell knows

By covering her "privacy" had the unintended consequence to create a Streisand effect.

Why do we have to give money to ANY of that? Why not give it to Americans that are suffering from this plandemic. Is it cause they're Americans and so need to be put last in their own country? None of it makes sense to me, am I missing something?

Every developed nation puts their own citizens last. It almost feels like the $600 on top of all this pork is sending a message that they didn't forget about the people but don't give a shit about them.

I had lunch yesterday with a friend who works at a medical office. She told me the office manager stated at last week's meeting that the doctors came to a decision and they will not be requiring their employees to take the vaccine, but they highly recommend that everyone take it. Out of the three doctors in the practice, only one is going to take it. I thought that was interesting.
