This topic is self explanatory. I think we should try to stick to international sports and Olympics. Moments outside of competition count. Have fun remembering the last decade. You’re all old now.

Recognize that name from the Universaide . I remember him being somewhat quick on the skis there, but his shooting is what kept him competitive I think.

...And never flying to Someone also made a good point about all Lithuanians having the same pair of scissors?

Except that meme culture doesn’t actually have an age. While the general understanding of memes may have a generational gap, making memes and being a part of the culture doesn’t.

Not a fan of this new citizenship law in . Definitely moving in the wrong direction, away from peace their. Clearly enough people haven’t watched Slumdog Millionare...

I’m assuming he’s referring to them “discontinuing updates to the OS”?

It was huge here in the US, but you’re right, I would have classified that as trendy or viral, and not as meme. The line can be blurred sometimes. The dubstep remix of that 2 minute clip that was also popular is more meme. This not really a definite criteria as to what is a meme and what isn’t. The rules constantly change, and many “memers” would just say you don’t understand.

No, the qualifications are easy. India requested quotas, but failed to register a single eligible skier. Essentially no skiers from India competed at FIS events, so they didn’t qualify. There’s a difference between quotas requested, and quota eligibility. Realistically an Indian skier basically need to complete a Slalom without falling on their ass, or face, and without crashing. However, no Indians entered an FIS event, so the blame lies with no one really. India just didn’t try to qualify.

I’ve never really understood meme culture myself. I had bad experiences with it in the past, plus I’ve always clicked better with people born in the 80s and 90s. I do think meme culture is super cool when analyzed and studied at a psychological level. There are also many memes I find personally amusing and that I enjoy. I know about 50-60 of the memes/trends on the last, and to me, there was one big omission (maybe two) that I noticed. Understanding memes (how they work, their impact, their social meaning, their deeper and darker meanings) is definitely a generational thing mostly. That said, almost one can make a good meme from time to time.

Well then ?

Honestly one of the greatest articles of the year, totally worth a read and laugh: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/memes-that-defined-the-2010s

It is truly a “Winter Olympics” since has rejected all of their skiing quotas @heywoodu

Technically they could still send him. If they’d already paid for everything, and he asked to go, there’s nothing stopping them from allowing that. I’m sure he won’t end up going, but I’m just merely pointing out a technicality.

Apparently closed Paramonovo. I was under the impression that it was still used, but it hasn’t been used in the last few years apparently.

Yes, thank you

So it is the 2019 World Championships then? Also, what kind of a nonsense competition takes place on Christmas, Hanukah, and New Years? That’s a big no.

If the women are playing in the World Games this time around (still haven’t seen anything to confirm that) 5th place would most likely be the last ticket to the tournament. @hckosice most likely needs that 5th place of there is to be a women’s tournament in Birmingham.
