Exactly. Although at least financially it doesn't matter for the Brazilians, since they get the same amount of money as non-para athletes even if there's only 10 athletes or so in a competition But in terms of fun and experience, yeah, this sucks.

Oh that's such a shame, the two Brazilians were so much looking forward to it Meh.

Are the flags actually carried by volunteers instead of the announced flag bearers? Seems the case for Brazil at least...

I mean some sort of a semi-serious sanction for it.

Not going to happen.

So you have decided to leave Totallympics, considering there's no way that runs without US products?

Plenty of people here as well who would, in the same line, want to see USA, Iran, Israel (Sudan?) banned, for example.

Well, yeah. So basically there's not really going to be something called 'the final'. Fantastic.

At least two of those three only have one single athlete, so won't be very visible

As we repeat every two years, roughly: no, this is not going to have 'major consequences'.

A slightly brownish blur. "Ah yeah this is the Senegal colour".

It can also easily be done 1-on-1, so if only one person manages to agree with a time, that'll be fine too As for today, anything between roughly 20:00-22:00 (CET) would work fine for me The game isn't going anywhere, so no worries if it doesn't immediately work out to pick a time

Alright! Well, if you happen to find yourself with a free moment, just post here and who knows it happens to match up

I'll check it out later, but with any kind of future prediction claim: take it with an entire salt mine, and even a broken clock is right twice a day.

To play against each other it does, but that should be solvable by simply agreeing to a moment

Before we go all big, are people somewhat familiar with GeoGuessr? Personally I already was for a while, but only recently I started playing every now and then and found it kind of fun. The main premise is super easy: you get a random Streetview image and you have to pinpoint, on a world map, where you are. That can be Times Square, it can be some alley in Rwanda, who knows. You can play alone, of course, but also one on one or in a bigger party. To start a party or another online game, you need a subscription. To join, you don't, you only need the link. I have a subscription, so as far as I am concerned, anyone interested could join and we can go for a couple rounds. Anyone in?

To be fair, the Russia-Ukraine war was something a lot of people saw coming in one way or another, that was not exactly a bold guess

Apparently a building of the Assembly of Experts was hit, where they may or may not have been meeting to choose a new leader. I do kind of refuse to believe these people were actually so unimaginably dumb to actually have a meeting in their building during a bombing campaign. Surely not?

I mean, it's undoubtedly done for some shady reason like distracting from the Epstein files or something, but whatever the reason, at least Trump and his buddies finally did something actually...kind of good. Most angry reactions come from terrorist organizations or questionable dictators and that's about it.

In the Netherlands Iranians have gone out to celebrate

Yeah, Iran is attacking everyone and their mom. Smart.

Meanwhile, there is always an old Trump tweet.

And there was an Iranian 'counterattack'. Like, 2 cheap missiles that were intercepted without trouble.

And honestly, they still do
