    I think part of the fear of the vaccines comes from the way the media framed it. They made it seem like the vaccine was completely untested and the first person who got it was a test, at least that's the impression I got from a quick skim of the comments. 

    Here's the problem though: I've been seeing that it would be a two part vaccine 3 weeks apart. That's going to require a commitment from people getting the vaccine, otherwise the virus could mutate and become resistant to it. Add that to the people who are actively refusing to take it and there is a lot of potential for this to go poorly.

    If people getting the vaccine make a commitment to following up and take it seriously then this could go quite well. However, since we like to politicize everything from masks to vaccines, I can see a new vaccine coming after this one for the follow up, or maybe an improved version that doesn't require such low temperature storage. For that reason I can see both sides on the waiting argument. 

    All that said though, I massage for a living and haven't been able/comfortable doing my practice since March. I want to get past this and go back to my work, so I will take whatever vaccine they have ready.

    Yeah, but antifia still act like jerks and terrorists.

    Since when has it been necessary to be the majority in power in order to be called a terrorist?

    So Al Qaeda were not terrorists? Since they weren't in majority power?

    While I don't agree with how antifa groups handle their movement, I don't recall them running any political opponents off the road.
    Antifa is mostly a danger to fascists and store windows.

    And saddest part of it all is that his music doesnt even have any rhythm to it. It isnt really that good at all. And His rhyme schemes are too spaced out and off beat to really dance to it or anything with it. And the instruments he uses are usually circus sounds so it's not really that pleasing to the ear. I just wish he would stop running for president and get to work in the studio. 

    His speaking pattern is the same way

    Saw the movie yesterday, didn't hear the controversy till after. When I first saw the scene I thought it was funny, especially his line "She's too old for you" when he burst into the room. As far as how Rudy acted, the parts that weren't edited out he seemed cordial and understandably flirty, especially after the interviewer put her hand on his leg.
    What I find the funniest is the overreaction to this scene in particular. If there was no music or editing then it would have been much more mundane, but it's a movie so the dramatic music, the editing, and where it fit in with the movie made his intentions seem different. Artistically it made a great climax for the third act. I didn't think he was reaching for his dong, but in the context of the movie Borat totally saved his daughter from fucking Rudy. The whole point was to get that scene for the movie but it got treated as a giant "Exposed!" narrative. It's a satire and people take themselves too seriously to appreciate that.

    There's a point to be made about the morality of all this but I'd rather just enjoy it for what it is rather than getting lost in the controversy.

    I think the most disturbing part of this for me is the attacks on independent journalists going to the rally. Once a group shouts the right word ("ANTIFA press!") they are surrounded by dangerous people who will..."defend" themselves.
    The mob mentality is so ugly, and they have justified their own bullshit to the point of it being their identity.

    Side note: Did anyone else raise an eyebrow over the Russian (I think?) lady talking about Putin?

    I think pickup would be a great thing for someone like you that is new to a lot of this. Just don't make it your life, use it as a tool to help you with dating, otherwise you're going to end up in a relationship like this girl you dated and she's going to leave you for someone more experienced. I speak from experience.
    Once you start getting good you'll be able to pick and choose the girl you want, but you have to get good first. That should be your top priority: gettin' gud. Top priority in this context, there's better things to focus your attention on.

    If you aren't already look up some Real Social Dynamics videos on the core basics of flirting, attraction, value, all that good stuff. Best way to get over a fuck up with a girl like this? Try again with a different girl. You're going to fail...many many times. Forgive yourself and compare only to the person you were yesterday.

    I wouldn't even worry about long term relationships for now because you really have no frame of reference.

    You had a great learning experience from this. Move on and try again with someone else. Let go of any self limiting beliefs: Incel, introvert, shy, needy, weak, unattractive- throw that shit out and go be what you want; have vision. Don't be an autistic guy trying to figure everything out logically, learn to flow and be flexible with what comes your way. In time this will be fun, hopefully sooner than later.

    Save the serious shit for a serious relationship. You wanna be deep with her? Talk about aliens, alternate dimensions, psychedelics, fun things you can use to show your views on life without bringing down the good vibes.

    Good luck dude, hope you get laid soon

    you deserve it <3

    He wasn't aggressive in the first place. The angry mob was. You are way too biased. You are not being objective.

    I have to disagree. Bringing an assault rifle to a serious protest is, by itself, aggressive. It's one thing if the military or police do it, but these bullshit militia groups? 

    What did he think was going to happen when he was toting a gun around in that situation? 

    He knew
