I remember Ed from the good times at Canby for sure. I didn't know him super well but he was a good guy. RIP.

So the reason for 178 is because I don't have an Olympic bar. I have a cheap shitty bar, and because I've cobbled a home gym together over the last couple years, I use Datsun flywheels for the bulk of the weight. Datsun flywheels fit a non-Olympic bar quite nicely. The scalloped ones are 22 pounds, the heavier full ones are 28 pounds. And because the bar is a tiny stick bar, it only weighs 18 pounds. Buying weights it's about a buck a pound for the nice ones. But I have a crapload of Datsun flywheels, so there you go. 😉

You're right, it IS just the internet. Which I why I really don't care. Both those two can keep letting their mouths write checks their asses can't cash. I'm sure there will be a Datsun meet sometime later after covid that we'll all be at. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

Yeah, that's actually Flatcat, not me. I, on the other hand, bench 178 and curl 40 lbs each arm. So if you and fat bananahammuck want to try me, be my guest.

Venting and crying are two different things. Not to mention there are a lot of asshat racists here and everywhere else in life. What really ticked me off was trying to have an intelligent conversation with you and a few others was like trying to explain mechanics to a 3 year old. I also don't know what an SJW is, sorry there, not millennial enough. I'm not sure what you mean about anonymously, I'm still using the same handle I used on all the forums I've been on. Must be hiding in plain sight? All I ever asked was for people to be civil when discussing topics related to politics. You and your fanboy Diego said plenty of fucked up shit in that mess. I got tired of it, so I left. After I tried constantly to make a point and communicate without being a dick. But I couldn't communicate because any logical discourse I tried to have was again, like talking mechanics to a group of 3 year olds making poop jokes. If you would like to talk to me in person about my crybaby antics, I welcome it. But it's entirely possible that I will give up communication and resort to simpler measures, fair warning.

Actually, I left because everyone dragged politics into every thread imaginable and it was annoying as fuck. I prefer not having politics in Datsun forums, but since it's been resurrected here, don't think I don't relish poking the bear. And it looks to me like you're the cry baby bitch since you can't accept facts. Like the fact that Biden won. FACT. Do you need help understanding that? It's called an election. People vote. Whoever gets the most electoral college votes win. Pretty simple, really.

Pssssst.....hey......guess what? MY FONT IS BIGGEST, BIDEN WON!! 😄 Oh, and here's a good article about those suitcases. Keep grasping at straws though. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/georgia-suitcase-video-ballots-trump-b1766363.html

So every court Trump has approached has dismissed the lawsuits for LACK OF EVIDENCE. Just because you want it to be true, doesn't make it true. This Trump failure to recognize his loss reminds me of the 6 months Hillary spent bitching and blaming people for how she possibly couldn't have won. The shoe's on the other foot now, no one mentioned fraudulent election results in 2016. Hmmm. I love it how everyone is jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon of something incredibly wrong and unfair about our elections, when in reality, there was probably less than 1% margin of error and in all reality, the side that lost keeps trying to push cases the judges flat out deny due to lack of evidence. I heard, "Trump won, get over it!" a metric fuckton of times in 2016. That said: GET OVER IT, BIDEN WON FAIR AND SQUARE!!

All I gotta say is my covid test result isn't back and I'm annoyed. So choke on this mofos! 😉

I don't discount Newsmax, hadn't even heard about it until 2 or 3 weeks ago. I checked it out, I file it under the margin of truth I trust all news outlets with. There are always 2 sides to every story. As for guns, they aren't going to ban guns. And if they ban assault weapons, so what? I know that will anger some of you, but I don't need an AR15. I can kill just fine with a deer rifle, or the .45, or the shotgun. I'm a better shot than most, so I'm not worried about it. And even IF they did ban weapons, what one of you is going to turn them into the cops? Fuck that, I'll hide my shit and they can fuck off. Personally I think owning an assault rifle should require much more training, just like a driver's license. I do think they should be legal, but I don't like how every moron with 1500 in his pocket can go buy one as long as he passes a minimal background check. Although on that note, I certainly wish they'd have a separate license required for driving an RV. I don't like old people driving 5 ton death machines when they can't see. Anyway, continue arguing without me. I have better things to do. Gotta get some tinfoil.....

It's a great movie, isn't it? One of my favorites. And Mattndew, no, I don't watch Newsmax. But really, if there are all these deep state operatives and alternate main stream media choices, then clearly, nothing at all is objective. And now, I'm tired, going to bed. Plenty of other things to worry about in life than politics. And Tr8r, I own guns too. At least Biden hunts. I think even with the senility, you put Biden in a boxing match with Trump, Biden would win, hands down. Just sayin' Though Trump might be an ear biter...

It seems by that statement you're the one who has written off anything outside your comfort zone. So if you read it all, how is that different how I read it all?

What do you have that's better? Newsmax?

Trump gave the media all the ammunition they needed. He continually lies and is bad at it. He's been a con man all his life. How many times has he declared bankruptcy before he became president? Like 6? Trump is EXACTLY the kind of person you don't want in a management roll. He's a bully, he yells to get his way. He makes bullshit promises day after day, and when those don't work, he tries to play it off like he was joking. I have a really good bullshit filter, can see those scam artists coming a mile away. All I hear and see from Trump from the last 4 years is the arguments of a flim-flam artist. I don't care if some of what he did was good, it was right for the wrong reasons. I'll take my chance with Biden any day of the week even though I'd prefer a Bush in office about now. He's not my first choice, but he's a hell of a lot better than Trump will ever be. As far as the main stream media is concerned, I don't watch it. Any of it. I read the news only. I read all sorts of different articles, about the same thing, from different people. I read CNN, and Fox News, and then I read NPR and BBC and Reuters to get an informed opinion of what's actually going on. My bullshit filter is on when I read the news too, amazing isn't it? IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS! Holds true for if it sounds too "James Bond" like, it's also bullshit! You know what's funny? So many of those people on both sides only listen to talk radio and watch the news to only hear what suits whatever side they're on. Then they hit repeat and after about a week of ingesting the same bullshit, they keep repeating it because it must be true while screaming louder and louder, the sky is falling! I don't believe for a second there is a mass deep state at work to "steal" the election. It's a giant load of horseshit, perpetrated by the same type of insecure, speculating, scared bullshit eating in their basement people. Maybe if you put some more giant American flags on your pickup truck and threaten to kill everyone on the left you're more sane and "patriotic" than the next guy. Yeah right. I'm more patriotic than most, and I don't feel the need to spew it to anyone who will listen. The real problem is no one will accept a few differences and work together. That needs to change. I work with people who back Trump. We get along because I'm not a dickhead about it. They have their views and that's fine. I have my views and that's fine. I'm not above putting my 2 cents in, but I'm not going to jump on the counter and call them out at the top of my lungs. The problem is the people who take it too far and scream their side is right, the other is wrong. KILL THE HERETIC!! Sound familiar?

Then explain to me how so far two or three Trump appointed judges have said exactly that. No evidence. Just because you say it's fraud, doesn't make it fraud. Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson have also said there's no giant bombshell. Trump and his lawyers promised a gigantic bombshell of evidence that there was a massive plot akin to Spectre in James Bond. But there isn't any. Yes, there is bound to be some screwups in the voting process. However, not enough to effect the outcome, which was, Biden won. Period. It used to be people remembered the old adage: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Nowadays they scream the sky is falling as loud as they can and believe every bit of bullshit that comes their way. I can't understand how sane people can blindly believe all this crap and tie it back into the Clintons and Venezuela and how it's a GIANT CONSPIRACY!! Say it louder, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! Maybe if you say it enough times it'll become true. Oh wait, Trump has tried that approach and it's not working. To demonstrate a little bit of this thinking:
