Comparing feminists to flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers is a bit harsh I think.

It's global though.. And I think the "non-Western" anti-vaxxers are crazier with lack of rules to shut them up

 

We had a rubella and diphtheria outbreak a few years back and it is also when the anti-vaxxers in Indonesia rise.

The mighty "Indonesian Clerics Council" declared 'some vaccine (in this case is the MR vaccine) is haram, but still can be used because it is emergency'.

 

But most people read that as "all vaccines are haram". :facepalm:

 

And there we have it, a rise of measles/rubella/diphtheria cases in provinces with high conservative and fundamentalist concentration. Don't ask me why

Its debatable but that part of the femenism believe in an existence of "patriarchy" in the west, in the history of mankind the are more equality than in the present, and they dont give any importance to the biology, can being whatever they want: if i see me like a space ninja and you dont agree with that, you are an spaceninjafobic......

 

The 3 are fanatism, the 3 are stupiditys but there arent in the same level: the anti-vaxxers are clearly the most dangerous.

Considering for a long time one of the main areas of anti-vaccine was areas with a major Somali population, I wouldn't quite call it western fanatism. It's sadly a pretty general thing. That and the excessive use of antibiotics are two major dangers to be taken very seriously.

Yeah people need to chill with the amount of times the take antibiotics. We’re going to have serious problems in the future.

Netanyahu has lost the Israeli elections again. That’s quite a shock. Might be the first elections the left has won since Brexit (the only acceptation being the Danish elections earlier this year). No party will have the majority required to form a government. There’ll be a lot of behind the scenes negotiations.

    • Would rather best ball be on day 1 and alternate shots be on day 2, but overall I think this is a good format.
    • 1980. Allan Wells. It wasn’t on television because of the Olympic boycott so I found out about it from the newspapers. 
    • Also GB didn’t reach its target in the 4x100 women relay or the medley so those places might be rejected. 
    • It was the last event of the meet anyway, so they were never likely to do a swim off. If they wanted to decide in advance based on a race, more likely on a meet like Mare Nostrum.   Both are pre-selected anyway because of the relay, so they both will be there anyway. Whichever gets the nod, we probably won't know until the week of.   With GB's history of messing about, especially in the first year of a new Olympic cycle, who knows what we'll do. Knowing us, stick Tom Dean in there, make Duncan do the 200 fly and Jimmy the 400 free.  
    • Will they do a swim-off?   The other option is they select both of them and then the head coach decides who swims at the meet.
    • Very glad they went with foursome/four-ball rather than just adding up individual scores.
    • I'll give it a shot.   On the mens side the freestyle results were pretty standard with the usual suspects of Ben Proud, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott swimming well. I don't think any of these guys were fully tapered and Proud didn't even shave for his 50m free win (21.67). 17 year old Jacob Mills came second in both the 50 and 100m free, so is on the team for Singapore. Tom Dean has only just got back into training but qualified in the 4x100 after being preselected in the 4x200 free.  James Guy looked impressive with a PB in the 200m free at 1:45.08. He also won the 400m free in a race where he went out way too fast and died at the end (3:46.64). The longer distances weren't notable.   Ollie Morgan was certainly stand out swimmer on the mens side sweeping the backstrokes for a 3rd straight year. He broke the national record in the 100m with a 52.12 with a pretty poor finish. He also impressed in the 200m with a 1:55.55   Without Peaty, the mens breaststroke was pretty poor, with Greg Butler only qualifying for the relay. 17 year olds Max Morgan and Filip Nowacki took home a few medals between them.   The Men's fly was also pretty pedestrian by international standards. Proud won the 50m in 23.21 with a long glide, whilst Ed Mildred took the relay spot in 51.80. 17 y.o Jack Brown was only 0.07 back Duncan Scott won the 200m (1:54.89) but he wont swim it in Singapore.   Scott took the mens 200m IM in 1:56.44, whilst, Max Litchfield won the 400m in 4:11.59     On the women's side the quality wasn't as good but there were a few standout performances.   Freya Colbert got close to the British record in the 200m free in 1:55.76, and Eva Okaro impressed with a 24.48 50m free.    The backstrokes were disappointing with nobody breaking a minute in the 100 (1:00.03), but Katie Shanahan looked good in the 200 at (2:07.91)   Angharad Evans was rapid in the breaststrokes breaking the national record in the 100 (1:05.37), and a huge PB in the 200 (2:21.86)   Fly was poor with nobody breaking 58 in the 100 (58.03), but Macinnes broke the Scottish record in the 200 (2:07.14)   Abbie Wood swept the Medleys with a 2:08.85 200 and a 4:36.66 400     Overall the results were alright with a few strong standout performances. As is the case in a post olympic year, the big guns took it fairly easy whilst some juniors looked really promising.    More results here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Aquatics_GB_Swimming_Championships
