I like to see things through to the end.

That's my issue - I don't get to see things through to the end because they literally do not have an ending.

What was the reason given for the shortening of the stage?

Google says the “Expanded” dark mode is intended to improve accessibility, but you may experience appearance issues when using it as some apps won’t play nicely with it. If that happens, then it’s recommended you enable the “Standard” dark mode instead, as it won’t force a dark theme on apps that don’t support it.

I haven't watched the third season. I watched the previous two, so I was considering it (this show was never a priority for me), but I am very thankful that you made this post because now that I know it has been cancelled I won't waste my time on it.

The way they satirized Trump’s first election is when I really stopped watching South Park because it showed they don’t actually keep it real and just insult everyone and everything like they claim. If that’s truly the best they could do with that whole trainwreck of a human being then they have lost their talent.

So did you watch the latest episode or...?

Matt and Trey are not the liberal heroes some people seem to believe they are.

I know Americans only see the world in binaries but there is a lot more to politics than "liberal vs conservative". The views of the creators clearly sit outside of that dichotomy, and they reference and mock their own political disengagement in this episode.

Maybe this isn't what you meant, but Irréversible (2002) was quite controversial when it released and contains an extended rape scene which is very difficult to watch.

Quite incredible that BORA have gone from a 2+ minute lead in third and the White Jersey to ~22 seconds in a single stage. Even more incredible that they managed this when the guy in fourth, Onley, was dropped early on. Whoever let Lipowitz ride by himself for so long today should be fired, absolutely insane tactics that may cost him a podium if he suffers from this effort tomorrow.

I missed the bit where Jorgenson attacked but I wonder if Visma tried to bluff a bit. By isolating Pogacar early, they made it risky for him to follow any moves from Visma riders, which allowed Jorgenson to get a big lead and go for the stage win unopposed by UAE. Unfortunately it seems like Jorgenson has blown up completely so now Visma are on the front again trying to close the gap to the leaders once more (and chase Lipowitz).

Of course it will have an effect. My point was that they have straight up admitted it won't affect the "porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists" they are trying to claim this is a win over, because this group will just access the games elsewhere.

In general I agree, but my understanding is that the pirate streams of live sporting events were cracked down on quite hard. There was definitely a dip at one point where the high quality SopCast and Ace Stream broadcasts that had become very popular for competitions like the Premier League (e.g. Bloodzeed) disappeared quite suddenly and weren't replaced with anything comparable.

Maybe, Pogacar does seem to be racing a bit "smarter" this year. Like not going crazy on every stage like a one-day racer and instead riding a bit more conservatively like you'd normally see from someone leading the GC.
