I just got a booster shot today.

sorry in the heat of the moment i wanted to quote the original poster.
as someone who works in medical research and does children's oncology and with my personal background of loosing two family members to this "birus", at times i have a hard time not getting mad at people who really believe this nonsense.

Sorry to hear that about your dad and other family member. My condolences. If idiot deniers didn't exist, things could have worked out so much differently.


Thanks a lot, i 100% agree. But this is not the place and time to discuss things like this. But when I read posts like the one quoted, I can not hold back at times.

that's probably a 1+1 deal which would give us his bird rights and control. Good for Ish as well getting a very healthy pay bump. Super happy for Ish

That's it.
A complete agenda of lies.
Numbers do not support at all their speech, so they hide the numbers and just tell you to follow their orders.
Sea levels have not changed for longer than 130 years, as anyone can see in a photo (famous one of the Statue of Liberty).
Most temperatures are measured in meteorologic sites that are now inside the cities, and not in the outskirts, as 50 years ago were.
Forest surface is in a higher point since we have knowledge.
Ice surface is at a peak since we can calculate.
But they are telling the population to be scared.
AS you say, in the meanwhile, they fly almost daily to tell you to eat less meat and ride your bike and buy an expensive car that will be moved by electricity made in a combustion plant and whose batteries have no recycling possibilities at all.

The same as with the birruss... still there are people who think all that was real and all meassurements had to be done for our safety.


Remote sensing using satellite images for change detection is quite a simple concept. The easiet way to think about it is taking a self portrait with your camera phone twice a month for your entire life. Sequence those pictures in a movie and you will see how you change and age...

;ab_channel=NoahKalina

The Landsat program has been doing this exact same thing since the early 1970's. Landsat camera's take a picture of every point on earth about twice per month and have been doing so for 50 years. It is undeniable the Earth has changed over those 50 years. When I was working in this area we called it change detection. You could clearly see areas impacted by forest fires, cattle grazing, bark beetle infestations, and receding mountain glaciers. Coastal changes were obvious for beach erosion and sediment transfer into ocean deltas.

Later, people doing research with Landsat data starting coining terms like climate change and global warming. We'd be fools not to believe that humans aren't contributing to those changes at some level. Whether these changes are good or bad is really up to debate but quite a few big temperature swings on Earth have happened in the last 100000 years based on studies of Greenland ice cores. Those swings could be induced by a host of geologic, oceanic, and atmospheric phenomena. It is likely humans are accelerating changes in the later two.

The same applies to the virus. Science and data from our recent and past pandemics show it is real. We see how a different pandemic is working through chicken farms and increasing cost of eggs. It sucks that some people experienced family and friends who died as a direct or indirect result of the virus. My guess is you didn't have anyone you care about impacted. Lucky you, but maybe if you could think about it a bit harder you would be able to show some empathy to your fellow human beings instead of just being an uneducated turd.

Maybe if he spent the 2 months I spent on my back in the hospital with covid last year he would understand that Covid is/was real. I missed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years in 2021/2022. I also lost 5 family members to Covid.

Deaths and serious health issues linked to vaccines are now so obvious (as they are registered, saved and printed in the documents of Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, etc) and tests on people were so outrageously faked that there is no doubt this was done with a wide knowledge of the companies and authorities.
This is why most politicians (if not all) and all men in power have never been inoculated.
In my triathlon team, for not going further, two people have died and two more have serious heart problems. None of then had any previous heart condition.
My prother, also in the team, and who is a doctor, got two vaccines because he was forced to. Now he is not taking any more and he has repented himself. He had to have a holter a few weeks ago because of discomfort and arrythmias, which he never had before.

I cannot understand how you are unable to see all the damage. So many women with period problems, so many abortions, so many skin problems.

To understand this one should raise one important question: how many hours of epidemiology does a doctor receive during his time at university. I will answer that: ZERO.
So a doctor is not prepared to tell anybody what to do vaccine related.

Your politicians comment is wildly inaccurate as are some other “information” you provided within your comments.

Suns have 20 games to get 35 incorporated into the team. That’s the higher priority than Bazley

Even getting Shamet if ever healthy and Payne back

It’s playoff push time

20 games are not like a lot.
This year the magic is not going to happen.
I believe it is much better if we start thinking that next year could be the year.
It is not only KD. Booker has been out two times with extended periods of time out. Paul too.

Too much personal political bull. Not a denier of covid or climate, had covid 1 month before it was called covid. Took my lungs months to recover. Was absolutely forced to take 1 shot, will never take another. Have been and am still among covid positive people from time to time. Shouldnt need to explain my reasons for not wanting the shot. I dont ridicule those who do and shouldn't be ridiculed for my choice but am in places like these. Dog whistles like "Denier, idiots etc" only serve to push otherwise cordial friendly talk about **** like sports and specifically this basketball team, the **** away. If that offends you good, it lets me know who and what you are.

Someone mentioned Okogie getting extended before its too late. Josh has more than solidified his spot as a starter when Durant comes in. The dude is just balling out in the role he stepped into. Question, if signing Ish gets us to 15, who would go if we signed a bought out Derrick Rose?

Saben Lee is signed or on a two way? If not his spot, I don't who.

If I'm Ologies agent, I'm all the sudden not very interested in talking extensions. Okogie could very well be a starter on a finals team.

Landry Shamet is the clear answer. Saben Lee is on a two way contract.

I was under the impression we cant just extend Okogie, or we have severe restrictions in the amount we can bump him. Unrestricted this offseason, he’d be able to cash in much more

Well, if he keeps this up, he will get north of 10 mil per on his next contract.

We are stomping teams and we don't even have our best player. Okogies gonna get poached for sure this summer. Glad Ish got bumped up as big wings are always nice to have.

Ross has been great too. Suddenly that depth ain't too bad although we'll know for sure in the playoffs.

Btw whats the deal with Warren? Guy has played like sub 10 minutes now DNP. Is he cooked? Monty playing favorites? Still injured? We've been winning but you'd hope he can be the bench scorer in the playoffs.

Please no more Political divisive talk on here. Here we talk Suns.

Where was TJ Warren? There was talk of him being our 5th best player and now he is not even playing. If it was before the trade deadline it would look like we are trading him. Please FREE TJ at least a few minutes a game. Now is the time before Kevin starts playing to see what he has.
