eBay is my oldest, not sure when exactly, 2001-2002-2003 something like that.

Next is my Something Awful forums account from 2005.

Ditto. It was totally worth it, I loved my mirena. But yeah it turns out you can pass out from the pain of having your cervix tugged on, and my doctor told me to quit being so hysterical. Like I was making a choice to lose consciousness for the fun of it.

I didn't even get ibuprofen, I just got some mifepristone in advance that does not treat pain at all.

There's not as many as you'd think, it's just they're all so loud and every single one of them has an eyesore of a cybertruck. It's like confirmation bias.

Austin doesn't want him either.

Like I said, it's about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.

If you really cared to see the best, you'd know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.

The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.

There's also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It's really about viewership.

Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.

Word on the street is that American English is actually closer to the English spoken by the British when they first landed and colonized the Americas. After the war they went back to their lil island and forgot how to pronounce their Rs.

Training a dog requires appropriate discipline, sufficient exercise + stimulation, adequate positive reinforcement, and most importantly of all: consistency.

So no, most people do not bother.

It's just not sustainable. Lab-grown meat is here, it just needs to get to scale, get a bit cheaper and boom. Farming and killing animals for food will be obsolete.
