2021 Summer Olympics

[Smitty-48]

I try to just enjoy the sports and ignore all the gossip that comes with it.
GB women 3-1 up against India in the third quarter of the field hockey.

the Devil is inside me, and it is a howling wind

sports just makes me angry now

I have to fight that beast, defend my peace of mind

I can't even help it now, I am drawn away to walk another path

I've just bought my first bit of Moroccan hash since before covid.
I'm not getting angry about anything for the rest of the day.

I'm feeling great, literally dancing a jig

but if I start wallowing in the media psyops, that's gonna bring me down

it's like a signals jammer, it jams my signals traffic with the Almighty

I'd be more concerned about why my national team had sent an injured athlete to the games.

They wouldn't.

It appears so.

Yesterday, a young Hawaiian guy who just got out of the military on a psych disability ($3550/mo + SSI) asked if he could rent one of our spare rooms. (Of which we have a lot since the kids were gone.) (There was already an older Hawaiian guy living here.) He said he was a recovering alcoholic (which is why he couldn't get another place, plus the psych thing), and could he smoke weed. I said I had no problem with weed; in fact, I had some in the freezer, but he had to smoke on the balcony. (His room has a small one.) I don't use weed myself but I drink, my dad's an alcoholic, and this kid needs a benevolent dictator to help out until he gets back on his feet.

Dude... They wouldn't... (Do you get what I'm saying?)

Fuck their arrogance. I never expected you to win a gold medal for me. I never felt you owed it to me or anyone else but yourselves. That's where you failed. You owed it to yourselves and each other, because at that point you were a team. Simone failed herself and the rest of her team. Why are they there? To win gold. You didn't win it because your top performer decided to give up.

If she needs, help then get her help, but don't try and make this out to be the best thing she's ever done. All the media fawning over her dropping out is teaching a whole generation that perseverance doesn't matter. Working through adversity doesn't matter. The worst part isn't that she gave up, it's that the media is turning this into some heroic act. The rest of the world is going to OWN us within a generation if this continues.

Ah, I thought you were saying the national team wouldn't be concerned.

That's the real scandal that this story is covering up.

They eliminate SATs to get the desired people into elite colleges.

No different here. Only appearances matter.

quitting is the new winning

failure is the new success

so brave

that's the woke olympics for you

meritocracy is the epitome of white supremacy don't you know

Simone Biles, a true hero

sports are falling over themselves to see which one can commit suicide the fastest
