@goosehd I’m sure they’ll find a way to relieve the pressure

[endo]

taking part is everything

[NickD]

Although for the male athletes this is the one activity during the Olympics where coming first is not the target.

[Tago Mago]

Some have a win at all costs mentality

[Bridger]

For some male athletes just entering is reward enough

[Matt]

I’d be perfectly happy coming third.

[goosehd]

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.

[goosehd]

…one last question; when in the heat of an argument, your better half calls you a f’n loser, is that a insult or compliment?

[Tago Mago]

@Matt third in a race of two isn’t that great tbh

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd she married you. Who’s the loser now?

[Tago Mago]

I am basing this on the logic that the better half is calling „you“ a fucking loser. Obviously I do not endorse this position

[yannis]

That is a nasty thing to say to your spouse all jokes aside.

[goosehd]

As all of this conversation has been tongue in cheek with the comments above meant to be semi what humerous at the most juvenile levels. Yes calling your spouse a loser is not funny and I apologize to anyone offended.

[yannis]

@goosehd no offense my man. I misunderstood myself. My apologies

[goosehd]

@yannis No worries and a good reminder that nuance, sarcasm, and intent can be hard to interpret on the forum.

Thank you for reminding me and I appreciate it.

This sounds like loser talk.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt you’re just saying this to distract from the fact that you’re a big softie at heart

[Giles]

Paula calls me a loser all the time........

And I regularly get this:

A legendary golden fabric once worn only by emperors has made an astonishing comeback. Korean scientists have successfully recreated ancient sea silk—a rare, shimmering fiber prized since Roman times—using a humble clam farmed in modern coastal waters. Beyond reviving its luxurious look, the team uncovered why this fiber never fades: its glow comes not from dyes, but from microscopic structures that bend light itself.
