What the gently caress? So much for the union.

This is based on the last deal the sides agreed on, which was in March. After the owners offered three deals in which the players would pay more games but not make any more money than the March deal, and one deal in which they'd made slightly more money but would have to pay the league out of pocket if the playoffs got cancelled, the owners then demanded the union agree in writing that the owners were not negotiating in bad faith. Now they're done negotiating over money but still fighting over health and safety.

A lot weaker unions than that have held a firmer line on the definition of good faith, jfc

Yeah, the players' union held firm and refused, so they're going with the last-resort plan they agreed to in March with 1/3rd of a season for 1/3rd pay. A big part of this is the optics for the upcoming strike after 2021, because the owners have been exploiting every loophole in the CBA that lets them pay players as little as possible. So a bunch of players tweeted "We're willing to play baseball, tell us when and where" while the owners were constantly leaking things like "It might be more profitable to cancel the baseball season and collect insurance money."

They need to do a bubble like the NBA is planning for any chance of a real season, though. The March plan was to only play baseball in Arizona and Florida if coronavirus made interstate travel unsafe, and uhhhhhhh

I bought dumbbells for my wife some time ago, up to 20 lbs. I hold a 20 on each shoulder and do squats. Then pushups. Then bent-over rows with a 20. Then Arnold curls. 3-4 sets. It's fine. gently caress the gym.

I honestly believe many of them are receiving convalescent serum treatment as soon as they test positive. Dying of covid is for the poors.

I miss the gym because I miss the environment of zoning out and just listening to music and getting tired. I had to cancel my PF membership because they reopened in my state and I’m not gonna be back in the gym until I am loving VACCINATED and that feels absolutely crazy to say, but I saw what it was like in there when I went to cancel... those people are not safe!

real talk: if you decide you want to have kids just for the gently caress of it, gently caress you and your partner forever. individuals should straight up not be allowed to decide whether a human being is forced to exist and then suffer under their care for any number of years. especially with the current world prognosis.

child rearing is morally equivalent to slavery, full stop.

I mean I guess if going to the movies is like your main hobby or you have like a film critique podcast, but if you’re spending 20+ hours a week going to and from the theater and watching full movies every single day, that’s still an absurd time commitment.

I do too. Even if I could get an oly bar I don't have the space for it. But gently caress if I'm going to a gym ... maybe ever? Looking forward to year round cycling.

I'm honestly really down about what's about to happen in the rural and especially the small-town parts of the country.

It's easy to gloat about chuds loving around and finding out, but I think about my dad's hometown back in central PA. Already ravaged by deindustrialization and hard drugs, they have no idea what's coming, because they have been systematically lied to by everyone in a position of responsibility.

this is part of the plan because it's how white supremacy is fomented
