Cut my dad out of the pics (for privacy not because I hate him ) They even asked for an autograph for me

Thanks! I had tried a few months ago with another website but it wasn't working, now it seems to work fine. Edit: nevermind Edit 2: yesss finally

Is it a coincidence that the world has gone to shit after that bestmen was driven out of this forum?

Great victory for censorship today, as HBO removed Gone with the Wind from their library. How does this work exactly? Denial of the Holocaust is punishable by law in some places, while denial of the slavery is... encouraged? I guess we should just pick-and-choose things we do like and remove stuff we don't. We can all live in our own private little fairytales! That's basically the message these HBO minds are sending.

Bolsonaro having tested positive is slightly hilarious, although I know that's not a good thing to say. Sorry karma gods and thank you karma gods.

2 time Olympic champion Lin Dan just announced retirement from national team and giving up trying his 5th Olympics due to age and health issue. Personally, I think Lin Dan is the icon of Chinese badminton and an international legend. Good luck to him. And according to his announcement, he still possibly attend national games representing his provincial team for the very last time.

You mean this line?

Oh how I hate when people say that animated movies are meant for kids only and that as soon as you reach a certain age you can't watch them anymore... there's no rule saying that, you can watch whatever the hell you want. I love this kind of movies, IMO they are much more entertaining than many other genres and there are less chances for me to be disappointed by animated movies than movies from other genres. My favorite franchise is in fact a trilogy of animated movies (How To Train Your Dragon) (Also, reminder that Disney-Pixar is not the only studio making animated movies) Anyway, sorry for the little rant, I'm not used to doing that but needed to get this out of my chest.

As I have written in this article, the World Masters Games, a massive sporting event in Japan in May, 2021 will be the canary in the coal mine for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 2021. https://theolympians.co/2020/06/05/the-world-masters-games-kansai-2021-the-canary-in-the-tokyo2020-coal-mine/

I am today's date old when I found out Canada's eastern most point is closer to Croatia than it is to Vancouver. Wow. @dcro

Greetings from Field Hockey Polish Cup in Poznań.

That’s how you can tell whether you are watching Pro or Amateur wrestling. Amateur wresting: Hit the ref with a chair - lifetime ban. Pro wrestling: Hit the ref with a chair - lifetime contract.

I’d recommend starting this replay in the morning

Elsa and me today.

That's a good thing, current events shouldn't lead to episodes being removed. Finally a positive note about Community

Oh and even tug of freaking war getting a mixed event, f*ck me sideways

Naughty sceptics suggest these are leftovers from TAISC 2020...

The "new in" is having more women competing. To the IOC gender equality only matters if its for women.

Not so Olympic, but surely collection

Well, that was 9/10 race. All the attrition made it feel like 1994 again. F1 needs some of these races for sure.

Have had to change my plans as does not want people from the plague pit that is on their sacred soil, so I have to go on the Eurostar via . Will be playing Waterloo by ABBA on repeat until the train gets from Calais to past Lille.

He is probably bidding his time and waiting for a new independent country to pop up on the map.

It's time for Mercedes to lose in whatever colour they want.

There are apparently five participants of the 1936 Berlin Games still alive. None of them won a medal in 1936 though. John Lysak (canoeing) Etsuko Komiya (athletics) Iris Cummings (swimming) Elda Cividino (gymnastics) Joan Langdon (swimming)

As long as China approves the statements.

They are a bit unluckier.. People in Indonesia treat Czech Republic like Benedict Cumberbatch's surname, here are the variations: Republik Ceko (official name in Indonesian) Republik Ceska (from the Czech official name) Republik Czech (when people are clueless with English) Republik Cek ("Check" Republic - forced Indonesiazation (?) of the word "Czech) Republik Cheko (add h because it is cool) Republik Cekoslovakia (Cold War Nostalgia Syndrome/CWNS) Republik Cekoslovenia (CWNS dumb version) Republik Chechnya (uhh excuse me )

/ will host the 2023 women’s World Cup.

Who cares? He wasn't remember for his racist position but for his role in the IOC. I really hate this new iconoclastic fury.

Just imagine if any of the Democratic politician's rallies were sabotaged like that. Left-wingers would lose their mind, preach injustice and blame Russian hackers

Few days ago I did 50km on bike in 2 hours and 30 minutes, with average speed 25km/h. Second time ever I ride over 30km

Now that's something you don't expect

Seamus, where are you?

Welp, because he who run this thread hasn't been here for a week

Hmm, most of the Disney films are probably at the bottom of the barrel of stuff, that i would watch, but that is because of my own taste. This doesn't stop me from re-watching a ton of Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Ed, Edd n Eddy etc. kids shows, when i want to. Heck i would probably never stop watching Scooby-Doo (though the current series are getting worse), it is so much in my heart. Last year i watched the full Buffy The Vampire Slayer and some of my friends were also like "Why are you watching this now, isn't it like for teenagers?". And i'm like "it's one of the best TV shows of all time, why shouldn't i watch it?!" This is like the other stupid statement, that i constantly come across: "I'm not watching old stuff / prior 2010,05,00. They are olddddd" You can tell them a whole book on why the film/show is amazing, but they just see the date and it's over. So infuriating...

Going from Disney movies to "if you watch things that are not meant for your age, you end up with pedophilae accusations" in a handful of posts is a whole new level right there.

Or they could have a backbone for damn once (i know, it is very unusual for the IOC fools) and say it is impossible to have a pure Men = Women quotas in every f'n sport. It's completely normal to have in gymnastics and swimming more women, just like it is normal to have more men in boxing and wrestling. If we get yet another reduction in the men's boxing categories, just to add more women ones with 5 people contesting, when men's boxing has a 120 year legacy, while the women have 10-15 years is stupidity of the highest level.

No need to do that, I already added all the numbers up (this means I opened each individual official qualification process document available and summed all the ˝total athletes quotas available˝). The number of quotas available for Tokyo 2020 through all sports is 11.136, out of which 6.886 has already been distributed, according to my counts.

I don't need to go to the theatre to watch the Swan's Lake - I have it just behind the corner: PS. What Andersen wrote about an "ugly duckling" becoming a pretty swan is just a big piece of bullshit. Aren't they cuuuuuuuute? ;P

No, but after the police is dissolved, they won't be necessary. Everyone will have the chance to take and do whatever they want. Final stages of pure democracy for the history books. If history books are still being allowed that is.

Erin Hamlin announced her pregnancy today.

https://unitedworldwrestling.org/article/bureau-approves-bundle-updated-options-competition-calendars-2020-2021 UWW still thinks they can have Worlds Junior and U23 Championships this year. you can't see this in the article but they are also asking national federations about having a World Senior Championships late in 2020. Georgia is the possible host. but there is also important that UWW says the ranking events in 2021 won't change the seeding for the Olympics, so the current ranking in UWW website is almost final. only Chinese and North Korean wrestlers can add some points from the 2021 Asian Championships but that won't make lots of changes. important points for the men's freestyle (if nobody withdraws) 57kg: Zaur Uguev and Ravi Kumar will face in the SF, I was expecting that to be the Olympic final 65kg: Otoguro will be unseeded, so being seeded isn't necessarily a good thing here. 74kg: if Burroughs makes team USA (he has to beat 79kg World Champion Kyle Dake) he and Frank Chamizo will face in the SF, and if Russia sends Sidakov he will be in the other side of the draw. 86kg: if Russia sends Naifonov, he won't face our Yazdani before the final. David Taylor is still unseeded. 97kg: if Kyle Snyder makes it (he has to beat Jden Cox) he and the great Sadulaev won't meet before the final 125kg: Petriashvili and Akgul won't meet before the final

I think NK is just an attention whore in this issue, the building is NK its own's. They can simply change it to other function or just shut it. But they chose to explode the building as a symbolized signal but they literally made it. The attention whore got the attention of the whole world. Also the so-called reason for escalation is the anti-Kim publication balloons from the south. Come on, this old-fashioned thing at least last for 50 years continuously. The whole drama is NK's own one-man show but successfully got won the free commercial of the world. The whole drama could just conclude into one sentence " Look at me, Kim Yo-jong, the sister of Kim Jong Un is on the stage now"
