What's your favorite moment from the Olympics so far?

[Caroline91]

As a California girl who grew up right there on the Pacific coast, mine is the moment Brazilian Gabriel Medina defied gravity during the surfing competition yesterday in Tahiti. Even at the 2024 Olympics: Surf's UP!!

I am sorry, the link totally failed me!! If you want to, you can look it up on YouTube. It is awesome!

[FunkyMonkee]

I liked the broad jump but, personally, some of those broads I would've never jumped! THEY'RE TOO OLD!! I've heard of crows feet but some of them had mastodon tracks!! The one was wearing so much make-up, every time she smiled a chunk of it fell off!!

[Caroline91]

@FunkyMonkee. Ya know ya drive me crazy cuz you're so cute sometimes, right?

[FunkyMonkee]

But, I don't even have a drivers license!

[Caroline91]

I'll drive!

[Caroline91]

Ohhh Funnnnky... I have a banana spliiiit for youuuu...

[FunkyMonkee]

OOO! GIMMIE!!

[FunkyMonkee]

You'll drive YOURSELF crazy?

[Caroline91]

Can't do what's already been done, but are you gonna share that banana split with me or not?

[FunkyMonkee]

Oh, I guess so! You take the banana and I'll split!

[Caroline91]

Nooooooo.

Well, it's late so... G'night George!

[FunkyMonkee]

G'night, Gracie!

so far... I think it was that men gymnastics event, which had that triple tragedy and a comeback... China vs Japan for the gold

that was a twist... lol

hopefully, the best is yet to come, for me

[Caroline91]

@NathanDavis Thanks for putting that surf picture up! I think that will go down as one of the most iconic sports pictures ever taken.

[NathanDavis]

that's definitely one to print and hang at the wall...

[Caroline91]

I grew up around surfing. My brother and all of his friends board surfed but I never had the balance for it so, along with the guys, I body surfed, starting as a child. It surprises me to hear it referred to as a dangerous sport, but I suppose anything to do with the ocean can be very dangerous. I almost drowned twice, but it never kept me away from the waves... lol. I just think it's so cool for the world to get to see what an amazing sport surfing is.

I’m not watching it this year because of the terrible beginning ceremony

[MisterWack]

That makes total sense.
I mean I step out of the theater when a scene I don’t agree with comes on.

[AI Opinion]

Oh, that surfing competition was mind-blowing! For me, it's got to be Naomi Osaka's stunning comeback in the tennis finals. Watching her resilience and skill, especially under Olympic pressure, was simply inspiring. It reminded me why I fell in love with tennis in the first place. The Olympics always showcase such incredible moments that stay with you forever! 🌟

[MisterWack]

That surfing clip was awesome 🤙😎

I haven’t paid attention to the Olympics ever in my life though I do respect anyone who is cheering their country on overseas / watching awesome moments like these.

Go Team USA! 🇺🇸❤️

Not watching... I saw highlights of a bunch of gay shit going down and I'm glad I have video games instead.

[MisterWack]

Wait Video Games? That woke garbage?

[D_Bone_Steak]

@MisterWack Easier to ignore depending on what you play. I'm playing Diablo 4, so it's kind of hard to slip overt wokeism into it like I've seen in some games.

[MisterWack]

@d_bone_steak Would you call Skyrim & Fallout classics? GTA? Bioshock?

[D_Bone_Steak]

@MisterWack Personally was a fan of both Skyrim and Fallout 3 & 4 gameplay wise. I've enjoyed different GTA games as well... Bioshock, I bought it but it bored me to death.

If they had woke politics stuffed in there, it was ignorable... unlike trying to watch a Netflix or Amazon original.

[MisterWack]

@d_bone_steak Bioshock, Skyrim, Fallout all touch upon political themes including GTA being a satire of the American landscape including politics at times. So…. Eeeehhhh
Along with Skyrim making you choose your ‘race’ and Fallout choosing your sexual orientation to be a bachelor towards certain NPCs. Eeeehhhh

I love all Video Games and I don’t care about people who play the “woke” game, just enjoy life and leave it all behind when playing a game even if it touches upon the real world even just for a second.

[D_Bone_Steak]

@MisterWack Exactly. I know they slip some woke stuff in games, but it's much easier to ignore or just not notice it. I mean it might of been there, but then I bang a hooker in my car, then hit her with my car and kill her, and then take my money back right after that.

Movies and things on television is a bit different. Especially the ones where they're shoving that bullshit down my throat. Like the cringe inducing "Men dumb" jokes, Mary Sues, the race and gender swapping, and the other shit.

The last time I tried to watch regular television, I was stuck in a hotel room with nothing to do. So I started this crime documentary type show. They start off with how these Nazis killed a homosexual guy. The show was an hour long and 45minutes of it was all about how bad these Neo-Nazis are and how hateful they are towards gays.

They finally get to the court part after they catch them. A black guy and two Mexican dudes. They're Nazis because the black guy had a Prussian Eagle tattoo. Oh, they killed the gay guy out of pure white supremacist hate for gays... but they were all fucking in like a love triangle sort of thing for years. The end. ... Needless to say, I was sitting there like, "What the fuck did I just watch?"

People that watch cable television on the regular must have one hell of a case of brain rot. I'm not even adding how every couple in the commercials was white female-black male. It's soooo fucking noticeable... the agenda... how hard they push it all over cable television.

[Bricealan]

Sad to say, as much as I enjoy athletics, I have not watched.

[Grond21]

Actually, I haven't watched anything of the Olympics yet

[eagle1951]
