Windbreaking should be the next olympic sport.

Guys, have you seen some of the Olympics categories? I’m not saying this because I think break dancing deserves to be there but because “darts is better because I can discern how is qualified”  

Not even boomers are like this.

Darts is fucking great to watch.

Fat drunk broken dudes with great skills

Your words, not mine.

Yes?

[JoeBoy101]

I respect break dancing and have been really impressed in some of the performances done.

But if that is a fucking sport, than so is Ballroom Dancing, or Line Dancing. It is meant as art and expression, not a sport. Sure, it has a physicality to it, but that doesn’t make it a sport.

Young B-Boy Besticus Minimist was never the same after the "upset stomach" incident in 1994 rendered the dancefloor at Tyneside Central High School "unsalvageable".

Saying because to me sports require physical effort over being good in a few skills.

Again, saying this as a opinion, that many will disagree, because I don't doubt those dudes have some better skills than I will never beat. I just mentioning this because thats why I found absurd the idea of Darts over Breaking. 

Dunno if any of the two activities deserve to be in the Olympics, just found absurd dismissing one above another when there is Olympic games there with the same issues as both.

Still more objective than anything the breaking judges use.

You're getting into the distinction between sport and games. 

Physical effort is one of the main distinctions to me when deciding if something is a sport or a game. The other main distinction for me is rules that allow for a clear winner to be decided.

Others might use different categories, but I think this sums up things nicely.

I'm not even necessarily arguing that it doesn't belong at the olympics, is there a hard rule that everything there must be a sport, I don't know

displays of peak human feats are great, evidence that what you're seeing is probably the best of the best

Man, im honest, but that was the whitest episode of RLMs Best of the Worst. I even remember that Mike or Rich said ¨I could do the same as Mr Wiggles¨... and they didn't it. Mr Wiggles ended being a living legend of the breakdancing community according to comments.

That kind of resumes all the controversy with breakdancing in the olympics.

Iran is a far more rational actor than Russia is , they have a lot to lose. I think they will weigh all actions in that context.

If anything Israel is being a jerk here.

Tom Cruise sucks, fuck him and Scientology

Cruise is so interesting to me regarding the love these faggot ass faggots have towards him. 

He has gone on the record saying all mental issues are fixable via their methods, and meds are useless. ADHD, trannny -ism, etc.

But because he hasn't said it on Twitter, since he's not a fucking faggot retard, he is safe.

Love these faggot ass faggot retards

Messo fantasizing about taking down Valve:

Valve being an American company can get away with allowing hate speech because in the USA hate speech is only criminalised when there are threats of violence or a criminal activity. Even if AOC brought Valve to Congress to testify, it would probably at most end up in a stern talking to rather than any tangible consequences. Gotta wait until hate speech laws get changed to get Valve to change, and so they can receive sanctions. Cause they sure as hell won't change of their own volition due to Gabe's political stances.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/gamergate-2-0-chuds-furious-about-a-consulting-company-named-%E2%80%9Csweet-baby-inc%E2%80%9D-which-overviews-scripts-to-make-sure-nothing-offensive-was-written.823731/post-127088760

Hate speech is not criminalized at all in the United States. Changing this would require changing the First Amendment. "But immediate incitement meets the Brande-" 1. Nothing on the internet meets that standard. 2. That applies to all speech not just "hate speech" which isn't a thing legally so your statement is a weird mixture of terms attempting to claim a narrow vein of truth within a very specific interpretation making you very weird then, Mr. Walz.

Pulling Valve into Congress to lecture them about non-crimes would be an extreme abuse of power in my opinion, but we've already established your forum and you especially don't care about that.

That thread was bumped by the nutso Ash_Greytree.

Steam's Community Features are being weaponized by bad actors and have been for a long while. Valve isn't doing anything to clamp down on those bad actors. That was the reason this resurgence happened earlier this year. Valve is complicit in all of this, and needs to be held to account and made to do something about their willing and knowing enabling of bigots on their store and community pages. I've been a broken record on that in this thread, I know. But it needs to happen if there's any hope of things getting better.

I wish that the games press could interview Gabe Newell or someone else high up at the company, and ask them about what their thoughts are on the bigotry that occurs on their store, show them printouts or screenshots of the message boards and the curators and more. Something, anything to keep the pressure on Newell and his company for more than a couple of weeks so it doesn't get memory-holed, like every controversy surrounding Valve and Steam over the years has been.

They're always so maddeningly vague. "Held to account", "made to do something", "keep the pressure on", etc. This person is basically saying they want the press to run a non-stop propaganda campaign against Valve until laws are changed and the police force Valve to do something. "No, no, I just mean convincing the gaming community to demand changes." You realize that's worse right? That you're saying you want the gaming media to control the views of the gaming community and to devote all their resources to this.

                        cultural appropriation?

Tom Cruises new face (mix of aging and whatever new work hes gotten done) gives me the creeps to be honest. He looks weirdly bloated.

Anyhoo the stunt was fun and a good idea, the camera work … less so

Definitely looks like an alien skinjob.

All of these "in between age" zombies are uncanny valley personified.

And honestly a little surprised they didn't just kill Starlight so they could avoid even more plastic surgery reactions in the next season, cause if she's actually addicted to cosmetic surgery she'll get even more before the next season starts filming.

[Propagandhim]

Hypothetical here.  Not at all related to my situation.  But if someone makes 3 banger ass rap songs in Suno AI and they happen to use the n word (soft a, dw) will future hate speech laws account for the fact that the AI chose a black man to rap these lyrics, and as such, took back the word and empowered it not unlike a weapon one would find about 3/4s of the way thru a Zelda game.  Again, nothing related to my situation

You can't put me in jail for Pimp City Playas.  It's not me rapping it.  Its the computer.  AOC has to bring Nvidia to court, I didn't enunciate the syllables the GPU farm did.

If I'm going to jail, at least let me leave one remnant of my legacy as a free man.  



This is an inordinately large woman competing in the Taco Bell 12 taco challenge.  Upon investigating, this challenge only exists on her channel, and nowhere else.  She created this challenge for herself.  That's what life is about, creating challenges for yourself so you can grow as a person.  That's all I wanted from my music - to challenge peoples' preconceptions.  Alright guys.  Have a good one.

Breakdancing is more pf a Filipino thing since late 90s moving forward. Same as djing.

Resetera is more Australian b-girl than anything else. Maybe the activist that disqualified themselves with the Palestine cape.

Edit- I don't use the n word. I am around plenty of non-black but very urban folks. Shit flows like water. No mod gonna tell these dudes to check themselves. Sorry black folks, the n word isn't yours anymore since like '92.

I mean, breaking and hip-hop are ultimately artforms that sprung from the sociopolitical conditions of poor Black and Latino youth; it was, in effect, a way to escape the bullshit white people as a collective had thrust upon these groups. So until white colonialism and capitalism are defeated, I'm never going to be of the argument that Black art forms are in any way morally obligated to welcome white participants with open arms and just have it all be water under the bridge, especially since the fact of the matter is- as we've just seen- white people absolutely have the hegemonic and social capital to make or break the way these cultural movements are perceived to the wider world with their participation, whether they consciously mean to or not.

I'm also half-and-half on broad appeal and social integration. I mean, I do capoeira; it is not an artform that is particularly highly valued by the West, but ironically that is both part of the allure and aids the practicality of the art itself. The community is more insular meaning that the cultural artifacts passed down are a lot less prone to whitewashing and commodification, and if need be (hopefully never) I can break out something that will put an adversary down that they're not going to expect at all because I'm not out here trying to be yet another half-baked Gracie lol.

[killamajig]

Capoeira is right up there with Kung Fu in the bullshit martial arts hall of fame. It's one of those martial arts that will get your ass beat even faster. I was giving her the benefit of doubt thinking she was into it because of the cultural thing or exercise or just wanting to learn how to dance. Because that's what it is. It's amazing that any belief she holds is completely wrong.

She saw Eddie Gordo in Tekken and thought that shit worked cuz she could spam one button.
