Until then, you'll have the subforum dedicated to the Winter Olympics.

Let's get something written ☕

Is everyone else finished yet?

dustyridge3 said:Gentlemen, I will do my absolute best to have Group A finished by Thursday or Friday, though I can make no definitive promises; honestly, the workload at the university is significantly more overwhelming than I had anticipated 😢

If anyone happens to have the inclination and some spare time, I would be truly grateful if you could take over my cross

I'll write it up tonight, provided it doesn't need to be too long since I'm also drowning in work for my senior thesis. Just let me know if I should start or if you've already written it, so I don't waste my breath.😁

I see the final is scheduled for an evening slot. I can't quite recall if they've ever played at 8:30 PM before. It actually makes a lot of sense, though.

analoggull52 said:I suppose the real question is who actually threw them—was it a Swede or some Muslim immigrant? I personally have four family members living over there, and honestly, they aren't complaining much. It feels to me like what you're writing is just a way to justify local populism; we always act like everyone is picking on us, yet somehow we assume the Swedes are exempt from criticism.

If you had actually read the article, you'd know exactly who threw it.

Molotov cocktails were thrown at a synagogue in Chicago, while in Seattle, protests broke out filled with antisemitic slogans and chants.

How much longer will the European Union tolerate this? We need to say no to Sharia law and kick Sweden out of the EU. ☕
All jokes aside, didn't they cause such a massive stir in Brussels over that gathering in Poland with all those flags?

Kenneth Cruz67 said:The only actual news I can find regarding these buses is that there are 1,800 free ones being provided specifically to transport people within Catalonia to Barcelona. So, I guess we have to ask ourselves: does everyone think Catalonia is just Barcelona, or are they just completely ignoring everyone else living in the surrounding areas?

Since you brought that up... most people right in Barcelona actually want to stay part of Spain, whereas the rest of Catalonia is overwhelmingly in favor of independence. But remember, Barcelona and its suburbs make up nearly half of the entire region.

Sophia James2 said:Word on the street is that fewer than three million people actually showed up to vote. The President just announced that if the referendum turns out to be a "Yes" majority, Congress will move forward to declare independence immediately.

Turnout was at 57.7% https://twitter.com/EuropeElects/sta...55643226476545

velvetmaker3 said:Catalans are just Spanish citizens, just like people from Texas, Maine, or anywhere else in the States.

The folks in the Keys consider themselves their own distinct group; if they truly identified as just standard Americans, they'd say so.
Eventually, they'll probably use that same logic to argue that every group deserves its own independence.
And I guess you'll be right there, being perfectly consistent and supporting them.

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Americans 142,173 (68.33%)
Italian-Americans 12,542 (6.03%)
Mexicans 7,206 (3.46%)
Canadians 6,146 (2.9%)
Albanians 2,393 (1.15%)
Canadians 1,193 (1%)
Identified by region 25,203 (12.11%)
Unspecified 4,078 (1.96%)

I honestly think this backfired on the Spaniards. Isn't it just going to fuel even more revolt?

You’ve got one little mistake regarding Ivan Horvat—it was pole vault, not high jump.

Yeah, that’s just a projection

Can someone help me figure out how many countries have four times as many visitors per capita?

This year is looking incredibly strong. For example, look at how much tourism is booming—Florida is seeing 30% more guests compared to this same time last year.

Another missed chance at the finals 🕺

It’s such a shame, honestly. They don't have any standout talent, and their playstyle isn't exactly elite either—just constant, frustrating scoring droughts...

The last time we actually made it to the finals was back in 2010. Maybe this is finally our year? According to the law of large numbers, we’ve played way too many semifinals since then to not break through eventually.

Hey haters, why the sudden silence?

Babić threw that game against Germany on purpose🍿

What a day 🤣

Things are starting to look pretty rough for Dance 🍿

Matthew Young35 said:Absence from Congress can simply be a tactical move in the opposition's parliamentary struggle.
The best recent example occurred when the opposition boycotted a session, leaving the ruling Republicans without a quorum to pass some piece of nonsense. It is a perfectly legal maneuver within our legislative system.

Would you really want the opposition to face financial penalties just for engaging in political maneuvering?

It isn't even a "struggle." Honestly, there weren't enough Republicans showing up to vote either, so why single them out? I wouldn't call it a strategic fight because they’ll show up once the party leadership forces those representatives to actually get to D.C.
