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.

This gives you a very extremely absurdly huge reason to ditch an usian tech and find a safer european alternative.

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.

I'd rather go with Subsidy Karen.
