Olympian1010 reacted to heywoodu in International Olympic Committee News
Considering it also was only the third ever Winter YOG, that's hardly noteworthy But a good thing, of course.
I think Tokyo's Olympic skateboarding competitions might be the best watched Olympic skateboarding competitions in history. You know, if it happens.

I also suggest a man and a woman can only walk side by side. If there is an uneven number of representatives of both sex's, the odd one should be deported to their home country immediately!

Jewish blessing for death or something, according to Google
We really do learn something new every day!

Oh yes, we even have streets named after FDR in Poland which you might find amusing. He sure gained all the applause from the post-market crash recovery in the 30s. This being said, Yalta Conference was his worst moment, he struck down British Empire but laid a foundation for the Iron Curtain.
PS. If FDR was still alive in the summer of 1945 I'd say you don't drop the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. That was Truman's no-nonsence hardball. The biggest what if for me is what if Truman was there in Yalta rather than FDR. He'd probably see through Stalin's bullshit one way or another.
Okay, history lecture over!

To be honest, this shows that Biden is indeed the best candidate. His numbers are impressive in 2 of Bernie’s key demographics: Very liberals and Independents. Even in young people, his numbers are not that bad, second best behind Bernie.

Same happens in India. If you are in line by deadline, you get to vote. In practice, you can show up at polling booth even after deadline, as long as polling booth is active and vote.

Probably CACSO will upload them at some point, just like they did with the ones from Veracruz in 2014

That’s optimistic. California results won’t be known for a week of two. That’s because we prioritize counting votes, and making sure people get to vote, over giving the media shit to talk about. California has the best election system in the US, it just isn’t quick because we care about it.

Right, but I also do think the hosts of those games/events should be punished for having a better date. I’m also not a fan of an Olympics not held during the Olympiad. I also maintain my viewpoint that there’s no reason this virus should disrupt the games.

Yes we did it!

It would most likely just cost too much though. The financial pressure on Tokyo/Japan to keep the whole thing up for another full year is huge.

This is more of a reason to NOT move it to 2021 than to move it to 2021

They think that for many things falsely :D american democracy is a sham, you can't get elected a dogcatcher if you can't raise milions of dollars. it's a rigged two party system, reelection campaigns never stop, you take votes so you could get reelected not because you beleive in it. media scene is dangerously incompetent, they are partisan hacks all of them, left and right, they are pro establishment, neocon war hawks and if you try to go out of mainstream you get slaughtered. and in a "greatest democracy" in the world you still have states where you need to register to vote months before an election. and a lot of states that just plainly supress the votes of minorities.

If it has 60% or more alcohol, it works (according to the health briefing in my workplace).
Apparently the structure of this virus made it possible for alcohol to "attack" them.

Apparently he ate raw bull's meat to intimidate his opponents. Since it must have contained clenbuterol (like any meat) - surely he retroactivelly loses all those titles.

Leonidas of Rhodes - 4 gold medals in stadion and dialous.

Methinks yes, and even more for Ainslie, at best you can consider it in the "same" event if an event is replaced by another one, which is not the case here.

Because the super dysfunctional US election system punishes that party which splits first.

Because "we" eat frogs (although it's not something common. I personally never ate frogs and I don't ever want to try same with snails)

We were all issued with hand sanitizers today at work. Considering the shops are all sold out of these, I feel like I have been given a piece of treasure

In these times, it’s important to remember what brings us together. This is a true moment of solidarity heard around the country:

Exactly 4 years ago the new Totallympics forum had been opened
Many users remained, some users left and some new users arrived, but overall I think it has been a beautiful journey which is of course always in progress.
Here you can find the first thread and the very first posts of the new Totallympics: Totallympics New Start
Happy Birthday Totallympics!
