Interestingly here it mostly seems to be all the same: right, hard right, harder right etc In things like surveys, a scarily large group of Muslims and Christians (although less of them than years ago, apart from the way too Christian towns like the one I live in) and so on generally show they are rather strongly in favour of having no equal rights for people who fall outside their strict 'moral beliefs'. A frightingly large number answers questions like "How bad is it when people are attacked for being gay?" with answers on the scale of "Too bad, but they shouldn't be gay then". I don't know how the groups tend to stand on economical issues, that's a bit less investigated

Some kid died and getting together should be to remember him, not to immediately make it political.

Students from an American school walked away from a vigil after a school shooting (with one dead), because they felt it was not to remember the victim, but politicized to ask for tougher gun control laws* https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/05/09/colorado-school-shooting-vigil-students-walk-out-protest/1150282001/ *which I think should obviously be in place, as is shown time and time again, but come on, while remembering a victim...that's the worst moment to come up with that

New report claims the persecution and attacking/exterminating of Christians worldwide is reaching genocide levels.

Yeah I see Florida Man is something the internet came up with pretty nicely, even with a Twitter account to follow all these bullshit but kinda funny stories (and some really not funny but outright terrible ones).

So post them, come on. Share the stupidity.

Why does bullshit news like this, about authorities being utterly idiotic, always seem to come out of Florida? https://www.lakecityreporter.com/news/obscenity-arrest-sparks-1st-amendment-claim

Very much, yes. At least if you mean in terms of qualifying for the Olympics. In biathlon that was hard until 2014 and near-impossible after that if you're from a nation like Brazil, especially now that quota reallocation seems to be non-existent. In XC, the three main Brazilian women will all no doubt reach the qualifying standard if nothing weird happens, there it's a matter of fighting amongst each other (with some rather mediocre twists and turns) for the one quota.

Meanwhile it's starting to look less and less likely Brazil will have any sort of significant presence next (European) season. The focus will most likely be mostly or entirely on cross-country skiing.

So it's like what, 34,28 meters?

The joys of being long-time friends coming from a part of the world that's captured by another country so you can use your friend's passport from the first country to compete after being caught doping because your friend turns out isn't good enough anyway. The joys.

The Baha'i, who luckily are not a fan of spending way too much money on way too exorbitant buildings for - among others - dead people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahá'í_World_Centre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine_of_Bahá'u'lláh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine_of_the_Báb I wouldn't say religion is specifically bad, even though I'm not religious. I witness first-hand how it does help people find strength to carry on in tough times, for example. The problem is the restricting part, as you said, which is present basically everywhere. "Can't do this", "Women are inferior", "Can't do that", "Love this person? SINNER!", and so on. Ugh.

Catholicism isn't exactly known for is large freedom neither, indeed

Being able to believe what you believe, love who you love and develop yourself according to who you are and what you're able to do, for example, as long as it doesn't hurt others. Without having to fear the law, of course.

Isn't that quite often the same or is there a large number of not very conservative Muslim countries in terms of people having roughly the same rights and freedoms?

So, just a regular match as final between two teams who meet each other often enough anyway.

RIP

Fail

Most, some boring people are like "suddenly everyone wants Ajax to win, how stupid"

Neres is injured and replaced by Dolberg, Mazraoui is surprisingly starting the match (surprisingly considering he is rather weakened due to a lack of normal eating and drinking, which one would say is rather important for the biggest match of their career).

Plus two teams from the same competition in the final is stupid anyway

Liverpool might be a little hard for Ajax.

Haha Gini wtf

Isn't that the site where half the content is premium/paid?

What's bad about their interface? In terms of layout, I actually like it. Just a quite simple list of articles in order, not all those big flashy things and photos of day old articles and so on. At least not that much.
