In order to build anti-british atmosphere they made films about how they were big ol meanies to us. Hilarity ensued.

There are also self hosted solutions that allow you to run a service on a box on your local network and have your devices sync passwords when you are home. Such as bitwarden/vaultwarden

I’m aware, but if I have to hassle with a single server in my free time I’ll lose my will to live… keepass is simple and good enough for almost every use-case a normal person might have.

Oh, and happy cake day!

Men’s B Boys Breaking at the Olympics :clap: :notes: :mirror_ball:

Okay so I thought b boys was just a term for basketball I wasn’t aware of, an Americanism I hadn’t crossed.

Woke up to headlines about Rachel Raygun Gunn and I’m stunned to discover breakdancing is at the Olympics.

In an effort to bring young audiences to the Olympics apparently. Okay I’m definitely not with it and have no idea what kids are into outside of Fortnite, Roblox and Minecraft, but I honestly didn’t think breakdancing popularity really survived past the nineties.

If they brought Fortnite dancing to the Olympics then the youth pull would make sense. Or rap battles.

I heard they’re getting rid of boxing for the foreseeable future. I’m not a fan (of boxing)but it feels odd and is like, our countries main source of gold medals XD

So if boxing has to go, I think breakdancing does too, replace them with a combination of the two. Kapoera at the next Olympics? :thinking:

I text an 84 year old woman who took care of me a lot when I was a baby. We have been watching the Olympics together and texting. Of course she loves the usual popular things like rhythmic gymnasticts and synchronized swimming. But when she watched Breaking, she texted that she liked it more than gymnastics. :laughing: The men’s was especially powerful. Very enjoyable with real DJs on the stage and the 2 commentators were both breakers back when. Lots of insight in the commentary.
The worldwide community is close-knit and the competitors were all having the best time! So many smiles and hugs! It made the whole event so much fun to watch. :heart_eyes: :revolving_hearts:
Sadly, Raygun was kinda the butt of a joke. Her style seemed rather out of sync with rest of the community. The Olympic committee had to start pulling down vids off YT. Tik Tok vids are still up though. I do not advise watching them.
Breaking will not be at the next Summer Games.
Here is the final battle. Realize, these guys have done 9 rounds at this point…

Bronze

You will have to watch these on YT. NBC rights and all.
I have to agree with the Breaking community. This is really an art and not a sport but they have to train their bodies like sportmen. This is likely the only time we will ever see Breaking at the Olympics.

Okay that was definitely more entretaining than Rayguns Kanagaroo Salmon or whatever that was.

Best comment I’ve seen was “this will be a tale of defiance when it comes out her daughter was supposed to be performing but she broke her ankle when her rivals challenged her to an illegal breakdancing contest the night before and so her mom stood in for the performance.”.

That is my truth and I’m not changing it for the love of Raygun.

I’ve been more caught up in this Mr Beast exposé videos I havent had a chance to keep up with the olympics (geneva convention violations if even remotely true)

But it really makes me want to start a youtube essay video called “I didn’t need to work for Mr Beast, I always got creepy vibes off him” cos everyone is making videos called “i worked for mr beast, He’s X”

Thanks for unlocking memories of me and my friend trying to beat these aliens after school. Inflatable Aliens were everywhere in the late 90s and I have no idea why but I guess it was my generations jojo bows or fidget spinners. That and those alien babys in goo.

Shorty was my go to character. I think Fridas song and shortys songs were my favourite.

This game definitely primed me for letting Parapa the Rapper and Vib Ribbon into my life. It’s possible I may have played Parappa first I can’t remember. Which prepared me for the wonderful soundtrack that is Katamari Damacy. Honorable mention to Um Jammer Lammy
