It's so easy when your athletes for whatever reason can't compete: "too bad, they would most likely have won a medal!!"

But there already is a 4x400m Including a mixed one

2x2x400m https://www.iaaf.org/competitions/iaaf-world-relays/iaaf-world-relays-6359/results/mixed/2x2x400-metres-relay/final/startlist#resultheader

Anyone interested in playing the pick'em game again?

Start list for today's first stage/time trial: https://gallery.mailchimp.com/823d3a40b51c82f60f316baa5/files/d284a2c7-0783-47f2-9f55-1a866b915e99/Ordine_di_Partenza.pdf This whole Giro has a huge feel of Roglic being the big, big favourite, but obviously a lot can happen in three weeks, let's see if he can be challenged

When it was in the Bahamas it was at a more convenient time for me Now it shares the moment with 18846 other things

Excellent.

I see a countdown, that's hopeful!

This all sounds like way too much trouble for the early morning.

Is this gonna be one of those rare athletics events freely available to watch on YouTube or is it going to end up being some obscure event of which we might see a handful of photos appear on social media and one or two videos taken from the stands?

That just depends on how you have that tab set up. I use unread almost exclusively and never see any post without opening a thread And yes, I know there are more shows, but if one really doesn't want any spoilers, surely one tries to avoid anything where they potentially are. Like threads about shows, or certain news websites.

And in Yokohama, ugh. Come on, this should be on the Bahamas.

Kinda my reaction too when this thread appeared

And so did those who came to mourn someone and so walked out at the right moment.

It would have been weirder to shoot Drogon from that distance. Those arrows having enough power to completely destroy ships was weird enough already

Much as I am a fan of putting things in spoilers the first few days after an episode aired, why would someone who really doesn't want to see spoilers about a TV series open a thread about TV series?

How wonderful for the people who come to a mourning service to, you know, mourn. Very understandable reaction from those students to walk out en masse.

Good for him. Now can they ban him for all his dives too?

"That's just for my hobby!"

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.
