They’re all cute to someone.

I saw someone theorizing that this helps Republicans down ballot. They give the Dems the presidency, but having more Republicans showing up to vote helps house/senate/whatever local elections swing Republican.
Is it really? I remember Mt.'Hope being more flat, but I’ve only gone to the side with the tennis courts and the soccer field (for anyone that doesn’t know, the University of Rochester and a bunch of it’s facilities are right next to Mt. Hope, a sort of cemetery/public park hybrid).
The human urge to domesticate anything that is slightly cute
STOOOOOPP THIS IS CURSED KNOWLEDGE 😭😭
DO NOT BRING OMEGAVERSE TO LEMMY PLEASE THIS IS MY SAFE SPACE 😭
Yeah, this is a pretty westernized and infantilizing view. Way to take someone’s autonomy and compare it to -checks notes- slavery and involuntary human sacrifice.
Please read some eastern philosophy and history before making comments like this. Suicide isn’t stigmatized outside of Abrahamic viewpoints.
Self-immolation as a form of protest has millennia of history behind it, especially in Buddhism and Hinduism. Ancient Greeks have records of it. The Indus Valley have records of it. Ancient Chinese have records of it. Tibetan monks set themselves on fire in order to protest for an independent Tibet. Norman Morris set himself on fire at the Pentagon to protest the Vietnam War.
Please don’t reduce an active form of protest against someone’s oppression as someone simply “killing themselves” and “shouldn’t be celebrated”. It’s a pretty narrow and callous world view that may reflect your experience, but not of wider human history.
Do we have a c/shittyfoodporn? Because this could do numbers there.

Why is Kamala lookin kinda fine here 😳
Even Haru’s billionaire ass can’t afford all these subscriptions 😭
Nothing, that’s what I’m trying to say. All the “sports” I listed have some sort of skill expression that can be judged. Why is break dancing less worthy? Should skateboarding also not have been included? Why is making a horse hop around to music considered a “real sport”?
It’s all arbitrary.
Hasan Piker has a great tweet about this
What’s MGTOW? Why do women hate it?
Edit: Oh…
Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) is an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and society, which they believe has been corrupted by feminism. The community is a part of the manosphere, a collection of anti-feminist websites and online communities that also includes the men’s rights movement, incels, and pickup artists.

Eh, painting and chess used to be Olympic sports. Shooting/air rifle still is. Break dancing requires more physicality than all of those.
I don’t particularly care about gatekeeping what activities are added/subtracted to the Olympics, as long as it’s competitive and entertaining to watch.
Mm, you’re not wrong about the originality, especially considering it’s given equal weight with the other four categories (the scoring is another issue here I could go on about). I guess in the judges eyes her “original” moves didn’t have anything to do with breaking (like the T-rex thing? That was odd…), so it was irrelevant to the judgement.
I can only speak for my own interpretations though.
No, I think the score of 0 is fair, because imo her Olympics performance was straight up trolling. If you watch any of her previous performances (like her Olympic qualifiers) she’s actually pretty decent. Comparing those to what she did at the Olympics honestly felt like BM to the entire artform.
Ooh, you may be right. I also don’t have that set up.
