Paris 2024 Olympics shenanigans - The most multicultural Olympics ever.

[Prokhor Zakharov]

I had no idea tofu was so dangerous.

The FDA recognize the 9 most serious allergens, and soy protein is one of them, so, yes, Tofu could be problematic for anyone that has never been exposed to soy protein. Encountering soy proteins in a number of 3rd would countries would be rare, so a first time Olympian from such a country may indeed encounter soy protein for the very first time at the Olympics and experience a severe reaction to it.

Not right before your peak performance day you stupid idiot faggot. Kill yourself. You're too dumb to live.

You really think a bowl of beans is gonna cause that much more damage than an egg from the same place they're visiting? Olympians eat new foods in a random new country right before their day of competition all the time. Additionally, you're saying kung fu artists don't have peak performance I guess??

Edit - I really do want to know what about a plate of food will make these people sick and useless when it contains foods they were going to eat anyway, but is missing a chicken breast or lamb chop. Taking the steak off of a full plate of food doesn't turn it into a gut flora massacre of medal-losing proportions.

If it's got the number of grams of protein you want to eat, you're good. Recall my original comment was that if protein options were present, it doesn't matter that they're different ones than you had at home, because these athletes knew they were going to travel to a different country and possibly eat diiferent food than what they have inside their own homes.

@Tasty Tatty already explained that they'd be fine, but probably annoyed that they didn't get to try any tra[d]itional french foods.

Snails, frogs and horse...they were being done a favour

I just learned that the hot air balloon cauldron is FUCKING FAKE.

It's LED spotlights and high-pressure misting nozzles.

They should've just put it on the Eiffel Tower.

ETA I'm pretty sure the members of a nation's Olympic team know that they will be travelling to a different country and eating food made in a different kitchen than the one they use at home. You can't accuse some French idiot's vegan menu of having harmful properties or dangerously disruptive microbiomes that aren't shared by anything else they eat in the host country.

Man shut the fuck up.

Good. Smarter than the Indians flying up fireworks on balloons.

And holy shit Carini was just given the prize money for the fight. It is just L after L for Paris. Holding my head baffled by the continual fuckups. Why do we do the Olympics again?

 

[Screamer_2]

Without meaning offense, your dad sounds like an absolute retard. Best I can suggest is not even bothering to talk politics with him unless you think you can chip at his programming. Because not noticing that was the Last fucking Supper is a smooth brain take.

It's not offensive because he's definitely not a retard. He's just someone that doesn't give a shit about the Olympics because he doesn't deem them something worth of attention. It's just interesting the way the messaging and propaganda still manage to get out to create an impression. To debunk and pre-bunk things to people who really aren't paying attention and is just their general sense of what is going on in the world in areas they aren't concerned with.

 

[Screamer_2]

I was wondering the other day wtf they were thinking in the first place to backpedal so hard, even after the torrent of support for parodying the Last Supper they've now invalidated. To my thinking they either:

1) are in such a bubble they unironically didn't expect any backlash for a trans last supper and just scrambled when it happened
2) expected controversy but didn't expect the IOC to be pissed or to cut the segment out of some countries' broadcast
3) realized that all the arguments for the virtue in poking at religious sensitivities could be used against other religions or cultural sensitivities

Dunno which one but 3 is probably the funniest. Nonetheless the aggressive switch from quasi-intellectual arguments for parodying the last supper to the arrogant 'you're not cultured enough to recognize this obscure reference over a massively popular one' is breathtaking.

I don't know what goes on in France.

I assume it's purely down to a bubble. It's like a lot of the media in the West. They simply only hire people with the same ideological bias and/or create environments too toxic for people to question anything that doesn't fit with the woke progressive ideology.

They probably came up with the idea for the Last Supper and absolutely no one involved is of a mindset that wouldn't even think it may be insulting or something off limits.

 

[Random Internet Person]

@Corn Syrup Connoisseur I saw that news. Everyone is focused on the chromosomes that they can’t see there’s a real beef between two sporting organizations going on behind the scenes. That now has a bunch of gas thrown onto this burning pissing match. Thanks, Algeria. And Taiwan.

If it's got the number of grams of protein you want to eat, you're good.

Plant and animal proteins are absorbed at different rates with animal protein being easier to absorb, not all plant proteins have an equal amino acid profile to animal proteins*, the differences in bioavailability means you must ingest a higher amount of protein (so you are already wrong here), Plant protein molecules are always high on fiber which on someone not used to that diet can cause anywhere from an 'upset stomach' to a fairly nasty episode of shitting.

* consult this handy chart based on the DIAAS (Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score) for the differences:


You can absolutely be a vegan weightlifter or whatever the fuck but there's a transitionary period that has to happen and differences to account for, you can't just shove that kind of diet to someone on an omnivore diet and expect a few temporary side effects not to manifest.

A sudden shift in ones diet can lead to gastrointestinal issues. Also, anyone eating something they are unfamiliar with, that contains ingredients they have never been exposed to before, can experience gastrointestinal intolerance which could cause an elite athlete to suffer a degradation in performance.

Also could turn out to be allergic to something in the ingredients. I learned I had a nut allergy after having Thai food for the food time and almost died

 

[TheBallPit]

Schwarzenegger was bedridden for four days with food poisoning during the Predator shoot because he ate one time at a local restaurant instead of sticking with canned food like the rest of the cast (he was warned beforehand that such would happen).

Not sure if it's comparable, but bear in mind this was when Arnold was at peak health.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

The paralympics is for differently abled people. Ths is already a solved problem. Put all the microdicks, trannies and bearded ladies there.

Might be worth a watch then too. I'd love to see some massive troon slap a dwarf around.

Wait, the Special Olympics has Tardfighting? How have I been missing this?

 

[STARS158]

Belarus is banned from the Olympics due to their support of Russia. So the athlete registered independent, and won gold! No flag or anthem for him though.

 

[AnOminous]

Yes you ignorant idiot. Sorry you're too stupid to understand the very concept of protein. Kill yourself.

This is what is otherwise known as a "Settlement to absolve liability for the publicly staged felonies assault".

Wasn't the lightshows in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics fake as well? How much money do they actually save for doing that cost cutting?

Is it because he doesn't pay attention or because he trusts the "narrative" more than you? You have archives of everything in this thread. How the fat jew was happy about being a Jesus, how the organizers talked about the Last Super, and the clip itself which can ne seen in a couple of minutes. You have images with the last super and the travesty side by side. You even have the degenerate with his ball hanging out next to a kid.

There is not being interested and there is putting fingers in your ears and screaming loudly. If he doesn't let you show him this things, it means he has zero desire to leave the worldview presented to him. On the other hand, if you don't show it to him to not be forceful, every time you tell him something that doesn't follow the media spin, he'll trust you less and think you a quack.

If he can't trust you on the last super thing which is so absurdly blatant, how do you expect him to trust you on more contested topics?

 

[Autischic]

While the Algerian troon looks like a man, at least he kind of put in a half-assed effort to look sort of like a woman, whereas the Yu-Ting does absolutely nothing to look like a woman.

Wtf...

 

[TungstenCarbide]

I don't think this is 5ARD.
