US Olympics is probably being overly cautious ever since Taliyah Brooks collapsed from exhaustion when they refused to delay a US Olympic trials a couple years back due to extreme heat.

Taliyah was on pace to make it to the Olympics until that happened.

My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It's worse than having no lid at all.

They appear to be moved around because the original creator [didn't] put the text boxes in intuitive places. It's instinct to read from top to bottom if both text bubbles are centered at the same spot.

EDIT: missed an important word

"Let’s handle this situation without consequences for people, without consequences for our family. Let’s quietly, peacefully release this person. He has five children and a father who’s critically ill with cancer. Little kids, like kittens. You’re a Muslim, you have a heart,” -Yandiyeva's relative.

It's always unsettling when people try to do things like this and pass the responsibility onto other people.

"Evil" is incredibly subjective and doesn't convince people well enough. Next time you're in an argument with someone, call them evil and see how quickly you've convinced them.

I saw an interview a while back where Obama said he makes these exact types of statements because if you want other countries to do things you perceive as "good" it's more effective to convince them that it's beneficial for them.

I can't even see comments on lessons anymore. There was one Brazilian dude named Paulenrique who would answer anyone's questions about quirks of the language and now all his efforts to help people are just gone.

It's weird for the title to just say "African country" rather than saying Guinea-Bissau

It's not. That subreddit is garbage. The mods legit ban people if the user rates people higher than the mod wants.

A lot of focus is being justifiably placed on the mom, but the kid's actions very closely mirror allegations against his father, Malik Ellison.

The [father's girlfriend] said she backed away to create space, but Ellison followed her, pushed her onto the bed, put his hand around her neck, and threatened to kill her, according to court records.

That attack wasn’t the only time the woman claimed Ellison was violent toward her, court records show. The woman called Newport News police again on Sept. 21, 2021 and told investigators that Ellison held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her, according to court records.
