In fairness, this isn't massively new and I was taught similar back when I was in school. It was genuinely a really good life skill to teach to kids and it was politically neutral.

I went to a state school in the UK and remember being taught media literacy, this would've been just over 10 years ago now. I don't know if it was part of the curriculum or just something they decided to add (while it was a state school, it was a very good one in a wealthy area).

We were told to read headlines and guess what the story was about, then we were shown a neutral article that objectively described what happened to highlight how misleading the headlines and pictures were. Among other things, but that sticks out in my mind.

I honestly think it was a fantastic life skill to teach.

It was neither the stabbing nor the vigil.

It's uneducated white thugs who have been told for years that immigrants and Muslims are the reason they're struggling.

I do. Comments like his are actively contributing towards the racist violent disorder taking place right now. It's disgusting.

They get incurable cancer

May one shoelace be permanently tighter than the other just enough to be annoying.

I'm not in an appropriate position mentally for a relationship. One day I want to settle down and do the whole wife/kids thing but now's not the time to get into anything.

I'm more thinking "see, we DO prosecute war crimes, that proves that all that other stuff was fine".

Yeah I'm potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I'm cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.

I know all cats like to get under your feet but mine is an absolute jedi master at knowing exactly where to be to inconvenience you the most. I don't know how she does it. She just knows exactly where I'm going to go so she can be directly in the way. You'd think she'd learn after being accidentally kicked a few times but nope.

To you, sure. The world is a big place.

Tbh I kinda get it. The below is my immediate thoughts but perhaps there's another angle I'm not considering.

If you're a professional player at that level then the sport is your life. You've probably been training since you were a child and you've completely dedicated yourself to it. Training almost every day, not doing things that other people get to do so as not to harm your performance, which probably affects your relationships.

In any sport where physicality is concerned, you have an expiry date. You will inevitably age out. It's just a fact of life.

The Olympics is arguably the most culturally significant and important sporting event in human history so far, or at least one of them.

I can see why someone who has dedicated their life to their sport would make this decision to play in that event, even if they've already done it before, because they WILL age out of it sooner or later. And really, is one missing finger going to be that much of an impairment for the rest of his life? I'm guessing it's not a thumb so... Probably not.

I think the decision is understandable and rational. I wouldn't choose it myself, but I'm not a professional athlete who has dedicated their life to what they do.

Doesn't sound like she really did anything wrong. Apart from maybe an error in judgment in making some jokes in poor taste on a Discord server.

Absolutely adorable. What a cool little guy

IMO it's KFC but that would be a controversial choice (UK)

Puffins always remind me of the Gordon Ramsay video where he cooks one and it looks delicious.

I'm not sure about that. Adblocks have already been around for a very long time.

He's answering the question of why it's not more popular. And he's right.

I don't know anything about the guy but it must take some serious balls to do a job like that in Mexico City.

Make Mexico Spanish Again

Edit: it's just a joke :(
