Oh god, don’t give the IOC any ideas.

It only feels appropriate to tag @dcro here In all seriousness, this decision sucks big time, and social media is going crazy against it. So, yes the IAAF used fan input to decide, which events are popular (fine), but they didn’t ask the fan base if this was something they wanted. Their assumptions were obviously wrong in this case.

What’s interesting to me about the Lebanon protests, is that they have transected religious lines. Religion hasn’t been a major factor in the protests, for a country very much split by it. It may actually be a small sign of some healing after brutal years of civil war.

Sad news from Burkina Faso

Well it’s not just that, but it has obviously plays a huge part. It’s also the insane demands that are put on students nowadays, people are more concerned about having a A in a class, than actually learning the material and bettering themselves. American students also get crazy amounts of homework (at least when compared to the top performing countries). Personally, I think we need to let kids be kids. There’s so many students out there that list the various ways society is fucking kids over. It’s ridiculous, and the older generations clearly have no clue what’s going on. I mean there are reasons young people are turning out to vote in higher percentages, we’re fed up with the way we’re being treated. My mom was the one that agreed with Kamala. I don’t necessarily disagree with Kampala’s plan, but there are a few parts that very much concern me. However, my mom just understand the intricacies of politics, and always accuses me of being a conservative (which is just fucking hilarious obviously). She also seems to think I’m a white nationalist, which again is just, huh? I would say that I don’t like her teaching style, so the fact that she likes the plan is probably one of the reasons I’m so against it. Another problem with education policy, is that education is an extremely personal thing. Telling kids they have to do something one way, is just wrong. Expecting all kids to behave the same way is wrong. Expecting all kids to be able to learn the same material is ridiculous. Plus, the education problem is only compounded by other social problems that the government has refused to address in the last three decades. Racism, gender equality, housing, food, funding for sports/arts, domestic abuse, infrastructure, etc. This issue just gets me so upset, and it really shouldn’t. Other 1st countries don’t seem to have some of these problems, and they’re obviously scoring higher than us everywhere. It’s just annoying.

Intense debate in my house right now about Kamala’s plan. Both my parents are teachers, one is for, one is against. I’m against, and my younger sister is in the middle. This is the biggest problem with the education debate. Too many opinions, and no good solutions. Educators are so divided on how education should work, that we can’t even get a plan with more than 40% support. Students and teachers also want two different things, which more complicates the situation. The college debate just compounds the issue.

Japan’s football kit for the games:

Here’s the IAAF’s official announcement: https://www.iaaf.org/competitions/iaaf-diamond-league/news/diamond-league-2020-season-meetings

Thailand’s team is mainly Thais from what I understand.

Did a quick check of her Twitter. Athletes and fans are obviously pissed, as everyone told the IAAF they would be.

So we now know the four event that will not be core events in 2020 Diamond League. They are the same for both genders: Discus Throw, Triple Jump, 3,000m Steeplechase, and 200m. The men and women will race the 3,000m Steeplechase and 200m at 5 meets next year, but the events will not count towards an overall standing. The men and women will only compete the Discus and Triple Jump once next season. This is all according to Inside the Games.

I’m a lazy guy!!!

I thought she had children. Learn something new everyday I guess. *slumps down in chair and says quietly* I went to private school my entire life until university this year. It’s nearly impossible to have any major society without attending private school, which is obviously one of the biggest issues with the American education system. We actually have a satirically name for public schools “the school to prison drainpipe”. It’s not completely true, but Baby Boomers and Gen X created the issue. They thought everyone should just settle for the standards of their time. Then, when they tried to create change. They changed a system that was completely foreign to them, and only made the education system in America worse. Tbh the majority of issues in America right now come down to two generations, Boomers and Millennials.

It goes against my plan for revamping the American education system, so I wouldn’t vote for it. I going to explain my disagreement with her policy, but I don’t time for a masters thesis . Kamala is loosing the young worse than I’ve seen anyone loose it before. It’s not just because of this issue, but this like lightning the gasoline she already poured. She’s need to do the Democrats a favor and drop out. She was originally my choice, but she continues to prove herself the worst candidate in the race. For me it’s down to Warren or Buttigieg (but probably Biden because that’s who they’ll run against Trump)

Kamala is trying her hardest to loose this election

Yep, pretty much. Though both the left and right are becoming more and more polarized. Left is getting lefter and Right is getting righter.

The good news that all the Oceania nation (besides AUS NZL FIJ) are eligible for universality sports I believe. And just as a reminder, the Cook Islands do have a legitimately qualified quota where they beat the likes of China and other bigger nations (so it’s hard, but not impossible). Hopefully a few Oceania athletes get a chance through universality spots I guess. I’ll be cheering hard for Cable

Yeah . I haven’t seen the results but I’m assuming it was Bassil. She’s honestly the best Lebanese athlete right now, but I don’t think she’ll be challenging for a medal in Tokyo

At this point I’d say 40% (at most) is centrist 40% is liberal and 20% is socialist/anarchist/green. That bottom percentage is growing. The Democratic Party could be 30% socialist/anarchist/green by the 2022 elections.

Well, there’s only two so it’s not hard . The Democratic Party. There was an independent who got 2% in the Kentucky election

Huge night for left! We’ve won the governorship in Kentucky!!! We also managed to flip both Virginia state houses, and run a competitive race in Mississippi.

You’d be surprised at the amount of people that pop by Totallympics Media from time to time. I’ve seen that interest is growing.

They’ve just posed they’ll accept applications from outside UK. I’ve never been more excited to spend 5 hours making, editing, and writing a CV and Cover Letter Cant wait to not be selected or even interviewed. Nothing like the autumn taste of rejection
