@jezza I like your point about it resolving in rankings… I guess that makes sense
After 26 years of being consciously aware of the Olympics and being reasonably indifferent to the concept of the whole (though interested in several parts within) I have developed three opinions.
1. Any sport that has an extant “best of the world” competition should not be in the Olympics.
2. The Olympics started as a competition of pure athleticism. Events that require the opinions of judges should not be included.
3. We shouldn't be tallying medals by nations. Nations should participate as the pool from which teams can be made and their local Olympic committees deciding which athletes can partake, but that's it. It shouldn't be a competition between nations.
@magicalthinking heehee well done
@HiroProtagonist SO COOL
@jezza amazing
@raintrees Yeah, I didn't realise it has been around for so long!
@jezza Do you have container for me to put it in? 😬
I am once again reminded that while stats about people joining a religion are interesting, in the case of religions that push the idea of some post-death benefits to those in the right state at death, stats on the number of followers dying would be more beneficial to see if you want to show how well a religion is doing over time at propagating their message.
@progo Wow, quite the flashback!
@jezza I guess I'm not old enough or have enough bad experiences with young people in the neighbourhood yet haha
@mike Neither here nor there but you make wonder what it would do if you held a sheet of coloured cellophane in front of the camera
@vandys Here in Alberta 🇨🇦 at least, all property owners pay the education property tax. The rate is the same no matter where you are.
