The italian couple that played during the mixed doubles (they got bronze in the end) made me start following it. I knew the sport but I never found a reason or a moment to follow it. Now? Eh… I think I’m a fan!

I already knew ice hockey so I was already following the games at the olympics, but curling? Yeah, the biggest surprise.

However, I think this year, the winter olympics are getting way more attention than other years. Dunno why, but looks like it’s the first time that people are really interested on them! And that’s great! It always looked like the winter sports were just second-class disciplines.

I find this kind of paintings terrifying, more than modern horror stuff like zombies and crap.

The kind of reality these paintings portray is scary and disturbing in ways that really make you be afraid of them. And I love every single one of them.

Also: yeah, I’d love a dinner like that.

I’m watching hockey, skeleton and jumps right now! HboMAX allows for multiview on the single screen so you can follow several sports together (with commentary on a single sport).

I’m also jumping on and off to curling, that has been a real surprise for me.

I’m going to the gym, do some swimring for my back, then I’ll take a sauna and a cold shower right after (love the hot-cold shock).

After that I’ll get back home watch the winter olympics and forget (again) that today it’s just a normal day that someone decided to turn into a pointless “holiday” to make me spend money.

It’s going to be a pretty normal saturday tbf.

Can anyone explain to someone who’s not from there why is it a bad thing to require photo ID?

In my country, you don’t have to register to vote. You need to register your residence (aka: where you live) and that gives you access to all the services of the area and also let’s you vote assigning you an electoral area where you cast your ballot.

Still, when you are voting, you need to go there with your ID (which has always a photo) and it’s checked before voting. Why in the US that’s a problem so big? Why are they fearing this could be used to manipulate the elections?

No. They are fine if done to underage girls. They are wrong if done by non-white people.

It… didn’t go as well as they thought…

Which s funny, they said the counter-concert would be so big that nobody would watch El Super Tazon, yet looks to me that every single republican knows what happened in that show…

Yeah, but how white are those twerking women compared to the pedophiles, huh?

You don’t understand. They are investigating this because of the children!

They probably think children watching this are going to become sluts too soon and so they won’t be innocent and pure anymore for when they try to rape them!

Sigh I wish I were joking…

Entirely dependant on skine whiteness.

“This thing you’re doing is VERY illegal! You better stop doing it or else!”

North Mexico nowadays.

Fake and gay.

With extreme pain and suffering, if possible. Please and thank you.

So unexpected! Who could have thought that making such an unique game would end like this?

I mean, this is a shooter where people choose a hero with an unique loadout and set of skills and battle with therr team against another team of these heroes.

We could call it… idk… Hero Shooter! I’m sure I haven’t seen a game like this before!

Spain has also Sierra Nevada, which is higher and also offers snow.

I agree on the infrastructure, but that makes my statement true because it’s then a question of investing.

Still, many of the sports don’t even require a mountain or a cold winter (see ice hockey, all kinds of skating, curling…) and yet, Spain has way less people there than Italy.

Republicans: Yeah, sure. But the idea is to make that happen when we’re dead. If it happens.

So weird, right? Nobody would have expected that focusing on luxury EVs while the market was demanding AFFORDABLE EVs would have make you sink while the Chinese brands making those affordable EVs soar.

Why? Why did ignoring what the market was asking have consequences to my product?

That’s only partially true.

Italy is right now third in the rank (second in medal numbers) and the mountains and cold winters are only partially true.

Spain shares the same climate, with arguably more mountains and land where the winters are really cold and they are lagging a lot in the rank, they sent something like 20 people or so to compete where Italy sent many more {something like 120 iirc).

It’s not just having mountains and cold winters.

Alpro had a dispute with their soy milk too in Italy.

In Italian, milk is “latte” (double t, important for the question).

They got said that they can’t call the product “latte” because it is not milk as it doesn’t come from an animal.

They created a new packaging with a huge writing saying: “Questo non è LATE” (with a single T). It could roughly be translated to English as “This is not MYLK” . They are still selling it because they are not selling milk.

Edit: apparently it’s not just an Italian thing as they sell it in English as “not MLK”! Funny tho, I almost got the name right without knowing it!

I’m not sure that is as harmless an option as you migh think.
