I don't actually play Pokémon Go, but I think it's a great concept. It gets people outside and exercising and also makes them interact with others. It's been amazing in the USA, especially with some of the racial tensions we have going on here.

I actually read a very heartbreaking article by a black guy saying how he fears playing the game might get him killed. Daunting stuff.

I saw that article, and I've also seen several rebuttals to it from other black people who have been talking about how the game has smoothed tensions in volatile areas.

I guess is a case by case basis. Walking around hunting pokemon at 3 am would dangerous to anyone.

In my opinion, the trading card game goes way down the list when it comes to boring (as in, the most boring), but that's just my opinion :p 

 

I mean, I absolutely loved collecting the cards when I was a kid, just the whole idea of playing/fighting with them didn't get to me. 

 

However I understand what you mean about Pokémon Go I think, it would have been much nicer if players could simply battle each other instead of only at gyms :p 

 Yap, that's also my thoughts! The idea is good, but gets easily boring after a while without having player battles...

Here we still don't have it officially but since there is a way of having it a lot of people are already playing Pokémon Go :d (me too :p

It actually made me walk today, I think it's a great concept for people like me who don't like to walk :lol:

Terrorist attack in Munich :sick:

The Motives not yet known, but it is POSSIBLE, although obviously not sure, that it was a neonazi attack, as  according to our media the attackers  screamed "F@@@ foreigners" and " I am German"

The other evidence that COULD confirm it - today is the exact 5th anniversary of terror attack by Breivik, so they might have wanted to honour him...

 

OR, of course, an ISIS false-flag attack, although to me it would be illogical, as according to their leaked mails, they absolutely WANT  far right groups to become in charge of european countries...\


Let just all the victims rest in peace, and hope for a better tommorow, literally and not literally :cry:

My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
