I wish someone canceled you already.

The Hungarian National TV was a true trailblazer, they already made the decision to move back their main studio to Budapest from the hosting city 5 years ago. :p 

 

That was mostly because the Hungarian TV is running out of money, so they can't afford it anymore to move their entire sport department to the hosting city and have their production there. Which is a shame, I liked how special it felt when their entire team was in Beijing and London with a studio made just for this one event. Maybe they will do it again for Paris because it will be closer to us, but I doubt it, the Hungarian TV isn't making any extra effort anymore to have quality broadcasts.

Don't they dare cancel it, I just put in my request for 10 free days (with the Friday of the opening ceremony being the first and the Monday after the closing ceremony being the last, I'm free on Wednesdays by default and this way I only miss the first Thursday with some random football and softball, big whoop :p ).

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Luckily I just had my monthly chat with my superior and I remembered to bring this up, he said he was planning to send everyone an email asking about their holiday plans somewhere next week and if submitting it before roughly half April, there's a good chance there shouldn't be much of a problem :p 

 

I'll be crossing my fingers for you as well now :d

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious

      Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.

      I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows
