I always wonder what would happen if I ended up in an On the Beach situation - surviving but just waiting things out.

Huh. I had no idea.

You’re having a hard time feeling sympathy for the family of a woman who was tragically killed because she was randomly pulled out of a crowd to participate in a gun demonstration?

Does anyone know what Raisman said to the dude who hands out the medals? It looked like she complimented his tie and I was both amused and confused.

She's my favorite. She just looks so friggin happy the entire time she's performing.

Would that matter? With the right amount of chlorine should it make a difference if it’s inside or outside?

I live in NYC so, with the electoral college, I know my vote doesn’t really matter. But I am telling everyone I know to vote in this one because regardless of how the states shake out, I want (NEED) there to be a resounding popular vote victory against this man.

The fact that she needs to be campaigning and can’t just sit at home eating bon bons while she self destructs is absolutely outrageous.

That’s basically the technique my 7th grade crush used when he felt me up the first time. Same facial expression too.

That’s a great point I never thought of. It does feel weirdly good to feel pride in an American — an entirely unfamiliar sensation for me. Is this what people who like America feel like always? Because if so, I kind of get their fanaticism even though I think it’s absolutely bat shit.

I’m for whoever’s jaw droppingly awesome and/or is shattering records and expectations — I was all about Hosszu and also jumping off my couch for Ledecky. I’m fully with Biles on everything but on beam I’m also rooting for Flavia. I am against anyone with a history of doping.

Me, for the last few months: “I just know the commentators and officials are going to totally white wash over the absolute horrors leading up to the games. They won’t talk about Zika or crime or pushing people out of their homes or poop water. They’ll just sweep it under the rug like the despicable corporate whores we…

Ohhh. Could try a free sling TV trial which might do it or just use a VPN to spoof a UK IP — bbc streams everything live for free.

NBC has an olympics app that shows all events live. Women's gymnastics is today from 3-6 EST I think.

It sucks that it’s endemic - especially when you’re in a dictatorship, this isn’t the kind of situation where it was necessarily safe for her to just say no to the people pushing it.

Agreed. If you’re caught doping you should be eliminated from competition — that goes for the Olympics and professional sporting events. If you make a conscious decision as an adult to systematically cheat, you shouldn’t ever be allowed to compete again.

When the person your swagger and attitude is directed at is a known doper, fuck yeah.

I have basically no sense of patriotism but during the olympics I shout “AMERICA FUCK YEAH” at my TV 24/7.

Such as...

Also maybe if a strong animal grabs something from you, don't stick your hand into the water like that after it. Let it go dude. It belongs to the dolphin now.
