…and into homes, right?
…right?
Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.

Maybe a reference to the whole Kamala Harris debacle of telling everyone whose jobs were becoming obsolete to “learn to code”? 🤷
I mean, I’m switching from a soon to be automated job, to specializing in automation…lol
Your former colleagues must be real happy with you lol
You either keep up with the times or get steamrolled by it. As an individual, you’ll never stop the March of time. It’s best to keep improving yourself and learning new things and jumping ship when need be
As a kid, the Olympics was a fun thing to look forward to. Now whenever I see my city/country applying for anything similar, I’m up in arms
It used to be something good back in ancient Greece, before we had the need to make a supershow out of fucking everything and each time trying to one up the last in pyrotechnics and gimmicks
Wasn’t ancient Olympics a supershow of their time?
Sure, but supershows tended to be less wasteful back when there wasn’t so much to waste I guess
It might have been badly worded by me. I know that the Olympics were bad when I was young. I was just naive
Even as a kid i didn’t really get it. I liked to watch the best off they showed on tv or when someone broke a world record or something. I thought that’s what the Olympics are. Then one day my friend asked me if i wanted to watch the winter Olympics and i was excited. Just to sit there for hours just watching the most boring thing i have ever seen. And that was before i even knew about the steroid hypocrisy and uow scummy it is
I think London 2012 may have been the only Olympics in my lifetime that wasnt some kind of humanitarian travesty.
Ah yes, the Olympics season, the time when we can trample human rights the most and hurt our most vulnerable.
The ancient curse proclaiming that the Olympics must suck or the host country will descend into war continues.
Out of sight, out of mind. Am I right?!
Ah yes, the ol’ “Just push them somewhere else” tactic
Doesn’t this happen every Olympics?

A miracle!

Hm.
Happened in Vancouver as well
I’m really at a loss for what good the Olympics bring to humanity. Really just seems to fuck over thousands of people every 4 years.
The Olympics are a great way to help build unity and promote friendly competition between otherwise adversarial nations. In theory. In practice it’s an economic dick-measuring contest and a way for authoritarian shitholes to get good PR.
They did this in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics.
I was living in Vancouver at the time, it was kind of surreal. Now I’m living in one of the northern towns they shipped them to… it’s surreal in a different way.
I’m from Vancouver, and the way the homeless were treated pre Olympics was, if you’ll pardon the language, a goddamn fucking disgrace. Only a bit worse than the rest of the time, to be fair, but it really solidified my dislike of the systems in place there.
That’s the way, really great. Some day we will be judged by our posterity of how we treated the weak and poor .
French govt taking notes from the shoe mistress
I wonder where are they going to find a rug big enough to swipe them under.
This isn’t as disastrous as it sounds, even if it still sucks. France has social services capable of handling this, but the problem is that it dumps these folks on smaller towns where they probably have lost whatever meager social networks and support they might have built in Paris, and will probably face little welcome where they end up.
They do this stuff in the US to punt the homeless out of wherever, send them wherever, and where they land has no social services for them when they get there. Then that municipality gets tired of it and evicts them to the next place.
They did it in Sydney in 2000. I was working in Katoomba 2 hrs West of Sydney where they’d moved all the homeless and crazies
Finally! They are so unsightly.
Thankfully this sort of thing never come to a boil in France.
Hey California, you seeing this?
Yeah, put that thing away.
Gross, dude.
