I think it’s more “she just beat the best time all of the best swimmers in history have ever swam by several seconds” than anything. I don’t care what nationality you are or what sport you play, you best multiple generations of the best by THAT much people are going to wonder. And to a degree they should.

No, it’s a “compare how she used to look/swim” thing. She’s made ridiculous gains, which could be natural, but there are many who are skeptical. It’s wrong to assume that the skepticism is rooted strictly in xenophobia, as it’s come from many people in many countries around the world.

Wait... Are you under the impression that Americans never criticize American athletes for PEDs? That’s quite amusing.

In her prelim heat she was just off the WR pace. The commentators mentioned how it would be hard for her to break the record considering it was set by Yi Shiwen in 2012, who somehow swam the final 50m faster than Ryan Lochte. Yi Shiwen hasn’t won much of anything since, and came in second to last in her qualifying…

I have. What does that have to do with whether Hillary has benefited from her marriage to Bill? Am I also a terrible sexist troll if I say Bill has benefited from Hillary as well?

I’m honestly a little torn on how I feel about Hosszu. She’s been a world-class swimmer for years, and has always been a fantastic medley swimmer. She was also a standout swimmer at USC, and frequently swam several events in quick succession at dual meets. Some people are just able to recover more quickly than others,…

That might be true. It just seems so absurd that people actually believe Hillary Clinton would be in the same position she is currently in if she hadn’t been First Lady. They think it’s just a coincidence that the likely first ever female President also happens to be the wife of a former President?

Can we agree that it’s unlikely Hillary Clinton would have been a Senator or Secretary of State if she wasn’t married to Bill?

Should’ve gone to Rio man, I hear it’s cool there.

Terrell Owens does.

“My tolerance is pretty high.”

That’s not a high tolerance, buddy

2 drinks doesn’t sound like much of a party.

So why should I stick to just two? You don’t really say why just that I should only have two while being socially awkward about it. If I need to drive or be somewhere early the next day then yes stick to one or two but if I have a ride/taxi/uber and everyone else is drinking and enjoying themselves why would I stick…

No. It’s about the rules of protection regarding one who is a guest in your house.

Zhang saw him on the news. She never came to the airport because SHE thought HE was joking about meeting her. She wants to continue the relationship after he gets out of the hospital for his severe case of Steve Buscemi.

Oh they could put it on Jezebel. The rape culture-y way he waited in that airport. The bigoted way he exercised race and gender privilege. This is a big T-bone steak for Jezebel. Uh-oh, I just wrote “bone”; the Jezzies are gonna “pile on” me now. I regret nothing!

There’s a strong intersection between the type of dude who wants a brown turbo diesel manual wagon, and the type of dude who would fly 5000 miles on a whim to see a woman he’s only texted.

Man. Girls aren’t real. They’re just something made up to get people to buy cars.
