The five day ibuprofen course is our standard protocol for an injured athlete.

Chick is a cute chubby jap with an iron chin who always seems to fight WAY bigger girls. I did get to see the last Rizin card. Damn shame about the Gabi fight but Reina and Tenshin were awesome. |

Oh Fuck!! You're right. I've been so out of touch of mma that I only watch HLs of past Rizin events of fighters I recognize. Rena is prime waifu material. |

As unofficial thread moderator, we may have to consider a North Korea thread. I'm still pretty low key on this deal, but even random people at the office here were asking me about it. I just don't think North Korea is really a physical threat unless they are receiving some pretty robust help from a global power.

The only people I see freaking out about North Korea are the sheep on Facebook. I think everybody else recognizes that North Korea launching a nuclear missile at us is the best way to make sure that North Korea doesn't exist the day after they do it. And they might take out thousands of us, on the west coast and Hawaii. But we will annihilate every living thing on their peninsula. They're not so stupid that they don't realize that. The only people who don't realize that are the sheep on Facebook.

Honestly, outside of rehabbing it, there isn't much to do. There is surgery but that is typically if you are an athlete and need to throw 90 mph fastballs plus the recovery is just as bad, if not worse than the initial injury. Take 800 mg Ibuprofen every 8 hours religiously for the next 5 days. Even if it stops hurting, keep your blood levels maintained. You can try ice as well. Then yeah, exercises/stretches is the way to go. What does the ibuprofen do? Does it aid in healing or is it just for pain? There is already an answer, but I'll add that I religiously use Ibuprofen for my muscle aches - and I can get some serious pain around my device. Especially since my last surgery, the doctors didn't give my wires enough slack to move around, so my neck and right shoulder almost always hurt. Tylenol can't even touch the pain, neither can Percocet (which I had for awhile after surgery). I mean, yes the pain goes away for some amount of time with Percocet, but as soon as it wears off - the pain comes back. The anti-inflammatory properties of Ibuprofen actually fix the problem, the swelling and uncomfortable feeling goes away. It does always come back eventually, but another couple Advil and I feel fine for a few days. My situation is a bit different, because the cause of my pain is implanted in my body and (until my next battery replacement) I have to just live with the wires being tight. But, in a regular person, they would give your body reprieve from inflammation and give your body time to heal. So, yes, they do aid in healing. One thing to be careful of - they can wreak havoc on your stomach. If you take them too often - get ready for the heartburn of your life. Jesus, it's awful. So, stock up on Rolaids when you stock up on Advil lol. |

Well, sure, right now NK doesn't have the weaponry to incapacitate the US ability to respond to a nuclear attack, or even have second strike capability (presumably). I have to think that people are freaked out about NK running full steam ahead to develop the aforementioned capabilities, rather than an imminent attack on the US. Also, let's not forget the millions of innocent people in and around NK who ARE within a destruction zone should Kim Jong-un decide to have a go at them. It's like watching a slow motion train wreck. You can see it coming, but there is diddly squat you can do to stop it. It's utterly unnerving. |

I don't really think they are more than a flea. There are too many nations nearby who have a greater vested interest in NK not going nuclear on anyone for them to be that big a cause for concern. |

Nk has tripped me out for years. The rest of the world is moving along at this amazing pace...and then we've got people in this tiny little peninsula just living a backwards and baffling life.
I don't know why we didn't put this guy's dad out of power decades ago. And I really don't know why we didn't go in a day or 2 after his death and end this shit once and for all.

World War Two was kicked off by a small scale invasion of a land, part of which had voted overwhelmingly in a plebiscite to return to Germany, which they were until twenty years prior. Possible that the real enemy just wants an icebreaker to set things off |

Because our deep state was, then, honeycombed with Soviet agents (deep state includes media) and all of our political leaders were compromised. It's that simple. For that same reason, China went communist (and jumped in for NK). America pledged to help Chiang, and then betrayed him. FDR even plotted to have him assasinated, but was shown a better, slower, way to kill him, liquidate his army, and leave few fingerprints. |

Oh, and we can thank Bill fucking Clinton for NKorea having nukes. I used to rail about this in the 1990s and early 2000's, and always got rolling eyes.
In truth, it's surreal and comical the way that played out. It would make a very easy comedy skit. Bill Clinton was as dumb as Chief Wiggum.
Kim: "We, Nort Korea, no build nucrea weapon, as rong as you give us 500billion and nucrea re-akta for... errr, ummm... providing power."
Clinton: "Only if you promise -nay, swear- that you will not use the nucular reactor for a weapons program. "
Kim: "such hard bargain, but we will accept."
Clinton: "And in case you were thinking about welching, I'm making you sign this binding document. I even brought a Notary (gestures towards Monica)"
Kim: "Missa President, we will abide by document. We have seen your mettle, and do not doubt your resolve."
Press: "Bill Clinton saves world, again. Experts: "Military now obsolete relic"

North Korea isn't going actually attack on purpose, at least not via conventional strike.
1. The US Government is the biggest provider of money, food, clothing, and medicine to North Korea, and has been for over 20 years. Each ear we spend billions alone buying their counterfeit US currency they produce from them. We deliver medical supplies 2-4 times a year, and a regular but limited supply of foodstuffs.
2. Attacking the US, even if we didn't respond would surely end our aid to them. With Russia's direct aid to NK down over 99% since 91', China being tempted to take him out themselves... they are too reliant on the US.
Which leads to what we actually need to worry about.
As was reported to Congress, the missile tests that NK has been carrying are more in line with potential EMP strike from space (where they think the two NK satellite actually has warheads on them), than a Nuclear ICBM. Rates of acceleration, flight trajectory, etc... all line up tests for a space-based launch, not a traditional ICBM. Cap that off with where the tests kept "failing", at the exact altitude for an optimal EMP weapon. Not only did NK have the Russian plans for one since the cold war, but their comments when they started ramping up the rhetoric about attacking us, they would mention their satellites. Then there is the question of their tech holding up for a space launch in the first place.
Now if they attack that way, well that puts the world in ruins overnight if successful and then they care fuck-all about our aid anymore.

If NKorea attacks, it means the outcome is already determined, and they're just the sacrificial "first wave." I could see China and NKorea banding together to liquidate their surplus populations while destroying the west. Would it really have been so bad to let Japan have the Far East, Germany/ England Europe, and America the Americas? |

Really strong arguments here. There is simply NOTHING like this for democrats or republicans in terms of compelling, comprehensive, consistent philosophical underpinnings for their platforms.

He lacks charisma but is the world's foremost historian and general scholar. I say this because he is exactly like Lord Garth, except without a sense of humor. Including that he's an atheist who believes Atheism is destroying civilization, as well as his clear eyes re: things such as South Africa and communism. When he gets impassioned, however, his lack of charisma really shines through. I tried to turn my woman on to him, and I should have picked one I had already heard instead of "hey here's the latest." |

Buuuuut, seriously. Everyone needs to check out Stefan Molyneaux. If I were going to recommend any of his historical lectures, I suppose I would start you off with his lectures on McCarthyism and the truth about Mandela, but they're all great. He is absolutely the world's foremost historian. Just remember what Baph said "everything the left says is a lie. Every. Single. Thing." That extends to everything you were ever taught about history or sociology, and extends not only to the left but the right (although all the lies they tell originated on the left)

Stefan has that crazy Defooing or whatever the hell it is called. Said if your parents ever punished you that you should never talk to him again and his wife got into trouble for that psycho-babble shit. He has toned it down a lot recently because he couldn't reach a wider audience spewing batshit crazy stuff. I do like some of his stuff but haven't listened to him lately. I think I caught an old video of him and Peter Schiff though, that was good.

Speaking of Atheists, Dawkins is probably the one most responsible for me considering them all morons.
Atheism meant you believe there is no god, at least it did till Dawkins came about and realized that believing that is in fact just as illogical if not more so as believing there is a god. So he did what the SJW, the bleeding hearts like to do, and changed what the word meant, and made Atheism a scale to stir shit up and make it a two party system when in fact there are more.
EXCEPT THAT SCALE ALREADY EXISTED. It is called Agnostic. The scientific, and logical belief about god. That you have no idea if there is a god or not. You may lean towards one way, but you admit you don't know.
If you call yourself Atheist, when in fact you are Agnostic, you are a fucking moron.
If you call yourself Atheist, and claim to be logical or a scientist, you are a fucking moron.
There are lots of things on a scale. Autism, Taxes, Gender, Weight, Age, Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Volume, the Toehold-Baph intelligence scale, Height, etc.... Atheism is not a scale, it is the illogical belief there is not a god.
To accept Atheism because there is no proof in a god is ironic, because there is no proof there isn't a god. Hence, be agnostic, accept that you are agnostic, or shut the fuck up because you are just as close minded ignoring evidence as many of the religious masses.
edit: Just to pile on more. Calling yourself Atheist when you are agnostic, then getting pissed when someone says no you aren't an Atheist, your are Agnostic, is like when you get pissed at someone saying their gender is a woman when they were born with a penis. Fucking Atheists and their hypocrisy.
