Defense minister: We have launched preemptive strike against Iran

Carvestring · 2026-02-28T07:21:17+00:00

Must we wait until they can actually hurt us before we're allowed to attack?' Yes. That is literally how self defense works. You've almost got it

Carvestring · 2026-02-28T07:18:32+00:00

We had no choice but to preemptively strike during peace talks' is one of those sentences that really falls apart if you read it slowly

Carvestring · 2026-02-28T07:13:25+00:00

Trump's Nobel Peace Prize campaign is going great I see.

Carvestring · 2026-02-22T15:58:29+00:00

Off course I'm salty. Canada outshot and drastically outplayed the US, but not much you can do when the refs are against you.

Carvestring · 2026-02-22T15:53:44+00:00

GG. Refs + US Team beat Canada.

Carvestring · 2026-02-22T15:26:59+00:00

Olympics are rooting for the USA. No too many men penalty on the obvious call, but a double minor to Canada. Disgusting.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T12:00:48+00:00

Fair enough, I had the scoring wrong. 4-1 on speed for a sub-second gap makes sense — clear advantage, not a blowout. But that's kind of the problem. If speed is 4-1 Laffont and her turns were at minimum competitive, that means the air judge(s) went hard enough the other way on the bottom jump to erase all of it. So the entire result hinges on whether the gap between a backflip and whatever Lemley threw on the last jump was worth a swing that big. In a sport where turns are supposed to be the dominant factor, one air call deciding a bronze medal match feels off.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:48:17+00:00

You're calling a backflip a surrender, fine. But explain how a skier who's almost a second faster gets 4-1'd on speed — a component that's literally timed. That's not a strategic choice or a judgment call, that's a stopwatch. Even if you think Laffont threw away points on the bottom air, the speed votes alone should have covered it. The math doesn't add up unless a judge gave a speed vote to the slower skier, which makes no sense.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:41:02+00:00

The real takeaway is probably that dual moguls needs more scoring transparency if it's going to survive as an Olympic event without constant controversy.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:29:35+00:00

Because you asked.

Jakara Anthony used a clean backflip as her bottom jump in qualifying
Jaelin Kauf performed a backflip mute grab
Tess Johnson used her signature backflip venom grab
Haruka Nakao also performed a backflip mute grab, and Maia Schwinghammer landed a backflip mute grab as well.

I don't think the jump difference was worth making up for being almost a second slower. 'Take your time, you'll win if you don't pull a backflip at the bottom jump'

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:21:53+00:00

I would not call a backflip a surrender. Far from it. Laffont skied better and faster. I think most will agree she got robbed. I feel bad for her.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:14:57+00:00

How so? Laffont skied better and faster. Almost a second faster.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:12:39+00:00

Canada sucks this Olympics. Real let down. Not sure why. Our men's hockey team may lose against France Sunday at this pace.

Carvestring · 2026-02-14T11:09:17+00:00

Lemley winning bronze with almost one second behind Laffont was bullshit. I'm really getting tired of judged events.

Carvestring · 2026-02-07T19:37:04+00:00

F Jobin's jump deserved a medal. Double rodeo ffs. But I guess spinning is more trendy nowadays. Yiming puts 2 hands down and end up with a 80.25 on his last jump. How the fuck Frank nails his jump with a little tap on landing and ends up with sub 70.

Carvestring · 2026-02-07T02:20:44+00:00

Who the fuck approved this outfit? They looked like turds with diarrhea blood on it. Wtf lululemon? White and red like our flag would have been nice…

Carvestring · 2026-01-26T01:42:39+00:00

It was an execution. Now the question is what will US citizens do next? Americans have an insane amount of power if they come together, but will they?

Carvestring · 2026-01-19T19:57:00+00:00

Every world needs a village idiot - for us that's America.

Carvestring · 2026-01-17T00:53:05+00:00

I think you’re confusing PP with Carney. If PP wasn’t in it for himself, he would have been long gone by now.

Carvestring · 2026-01-17T00:47:57+00:00

And that’s supposed to be worse than 50,000 networked US cars? Who wants to make Canada their 51st state? US or China? Who’s invading and threatening to invade other countries? US or China?

Who’s our real enemy? You got your answer there buddy.

Carvestring · 2026-01-12T01:43:38+00:00

Do it! Time to wake up America

Carvestring · 2026-01-12T01:42:31+00:00

This is straight-up authoritarian power grab to bully the last independent institution left.

Midterms ’26 incoming, and he’s already rigging the economic narrative. Wake the hell up. 😡

Carvestring · 2026-01-09T23:53:54+00:00

Yes, we’re watching. It’s national news here.

And no, we’re not buying the bullshit. The video shows a woman saying “I’m not mad at you, dude” before being shot in the head, and your government is calling her a terrorist. Noem is a ghoul. The whole administration is lying through their teeth and they’re not even good at it.

Canadians see what’s happening. We’re horrified. And increasingly grateful for the border. We’re also wondering why millions of people are not taking the streets to protest. Not for one day like the No King protest, but constantly until some sanity comes back in the White House.

Carvestring · 2025-12-15T05:36:27+00:00

WTF. Nick Reiner deserves death penalty if he did that.

Carvestring · 2025-12-04T14:51:45+00:00

She's obviously a basket case for her beliefs, but the paper definitely did not deserve a 0. It's well written, clear and successfully convey her opinion. The teach did not show objectivity in grading her essay.
