The rules are made up and the quotas don’t matter.

This is what I am debating as well (whether or not I should continue to use this forum).
I have a number of nicks already on ignore (mostly simple trolls, and culture-war trolls)
But an user going to your FB page to attack you - wow that's just another level 
Of course I don't visit the politics thread at all, as a I don't come here for discussing politics and the last thing I want is to debate foreign admirers of V. Orban, the despicable "prime minister" of my unfortunate country.

In all honesty, the old forum had a fair share of trolls, racists and homophobes (for instance, that polish user who I can't remember the name who went to my facebook page to attack me), but today there are so many that people just seem to ignore the nasty comments. That's one of the main reasons I'm not active here anymore.

My god, she's Japanese.  If you don't like the choice fine, but don't go after her ethnicity and identity.  Taking away her achievements by calling it "wokeness" is garbage.  She's the most recognizable Japanese athlete in 2021.  Sorry if she doesn't fit your outsider qualification of what that should look like, but that doesn't mean she's not worthy of recognition or of her heritage.  
 
Should she go play tennis for Haiti?  But then the same problem arises, she's only half Haitian (and not even born there).  I guess she should just not exist in the sporting world, then.  Otherwise it's just "Wokeness" and "diversity" instead of, you know, someone existing and being good at their sport.  

As an educator, I'll just say I'm happy Monzanator is not a colleague of mine having that outlook on "99% of people" 

The ideological shift in this forum over the last 5 years, holy crap.

Since never.  In my defence, I lived in Korea for 10 years and China for 4.  I've only visited Japan.  I get the xenophobia here, but I don't accept it.  And I don't accept it from anyone else. 

For only the flagbearers and two officials will be at the Opening Ceremony.

In Brazil a medal would be a surprise, nobody is expecting this and I think is really hard to happen

I don't fully get the joke but judging by the banners this seems to be the pic of a celebration rather than a protest  just saying in case your intention was showing the latter. 

Already loving the broadcast graphics. Maybe it's too soon, but I think they're my favourite ever? Very classic style.

3G 5S 9B for is on par with what I'm expecting so in that sense the AP predictions aren't that bad. But they're projecting some really hard medals (Fencing, Slalom) instead of Beach Volleyball which is more likely to happen.

it seems Tennis players are very unlucky in general. unluckiest athletes, poor guys. they get injured, get COVID positive right before the Games.
 
the only explanation is that this sport is cursed. there is absolutely no other explanation . no way

After the whole debacle about not being allowed to take his wife to Tokyo, are we sure Medina will win a medal?
 
I'd say 1 medal is probably a safer bet.

Eu estarei de férias
 
Os únicos dias olímpicos que irei trabalhar são 26, 27 e 28, mas acho que consigo só perder os eventos pela manhã.

They're drunk.

What I meant it's that I pick one (or more) of them to eat everyday, usually mango and bananas, pineapple is more like once a week. A picture I just took of my fruit bowl, basically all the fruits I mentioned are there
 

 
Acerola juice is great, but when in season, it's so common where I live that I prefer other fruits, like guava, passion fruit, pineapple, and the basic orange and lime juices.
 

Brazil is a big country, so maybe some fruits are exotic and hard to find where I live (Northeast), but are more accessible in the South region.
 
Most kind of berries are exotic for me, to the point I have never eaten blueberries, raspberries, blackberries... the list goes on. Strawberries are more common, just like plums, peaches, kiwifruits and pitaya, meaning that I can find them even in a small town like mine, but all of them are not cheap, so I usually just don't pick them. For example, if I wanted 1kg of strawberries, peaches or plums, I would have to pay the same amount of money I spent in that entire fruit bowl
