@heywoodu It's some "interesting" people living in the Netherlands? 

 

A 69-year-old entrepreneur in the Netherlands wants to legally change his age to 49 so he can go back to work and meet more women on Tinder, according to his lawsuit.

The self-proclaimed positivity guru argued that he feels 20 years younger, and compared the age difference to being transgender, despite the concepts being completely different.

"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age? Nowhere are you so discriminated against as with your age," he told De Telegraaf.

Ratelband argued that he is a "young god" and said changing his age would allow him to "live differently," saying he would get more matches on Tinder if he could use a younger age.

Emile Ratelband has not managed to convince the judge to make him 20 years younger. In fact, the judge has made Ratelband a hundred years older and so legally dead. "You are now officially born in 1849 so you are now long dead", the judge said. "Dead people aren't even allowed in here. Get out of my courtroom, you creep."

 

"I felt like Emile Ratelbad had been dead and buried for years, but it's nice that the judge has now acknowledged that feeling", according to all Dutch people.

The sad part is that the real story would fit perfectly on this website...

Well on our 24/7 news channel, a panel discussed this, and they jokingly said that they wished they could legally be 65, so they could retire form the job market. :p

      Skeleton Discussion | Qualification to Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By heywoodu · Posted

      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

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Opening Ceremony Flag Bearers

      By heywoodu · Posted

      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).

      2026 Winter Olympics - Very Early Predictions

      By copravolley · Posted

      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.
