Olympians (medalists announced - congrats everyone!)

I kinda explained the reasons on discord, but I’ll say it again here, I change my username/use fake names a lot on the sites I go to since I don’t want to have any bias linked to my username, or name if I eventually publish, those who know me know me and i’m fine with that, but changing my username allows for a less evident bias when talking to other. It also has to do with my transition/change of identity, because as time passes I find myself juggling between different names, and I kinda like it that way!

I see, that’s actually an interesting way of seing things! Personally I don’t think I’d have the patience to manage usernames like that, though.

Anyway, you do you and is good to know beforehand these changes will occur repeatedly xD

Since there is a monthly interval between changing names on WK, expect a name-change around the 21st of every month :eyes:

I actually like what they did with Mexico, using the elements in our flag in ingenious ways. That eagle sure looks badass, wouldn’t want to mess with that guy.

And regarding Kanji studies, this is the only 麦 mnemonic I need:

@SuperSnoopy Thanks, but I think everyone would be a bit overwhelming to start. I’ll figure it out and see how I like it first. I’ll probably start by adding some of my rivals and other people I’ve interacted a lot with and then slowly add everyone acting in this thread. :slight_smile:

@Sinei Welcome to team Sky! Where we soar into the future on blessed wings. :rainbow:

It’s technically my lunch break but I’m launching analyses so I’m waiting on them to finish before I go to lunch. I slacked off on my reading in the past week but I never dropped my WK schedule, pinky promise tonight I learn some grammar and read tokitoshou a bit more!:eyes:

Mentioned at work today that I got my hands on tickets to 2 of the events. Apparently a ton of people applied for tickets and other than me, only one person got in. ._.

They really payed attention to all of the elements of our flag. Cool!

But my favorite proverb is the one from argentina:
眠っている海老は流される。
The sleeping shrimp is carried over by the stream!

The Dutch guy looks a bit bored :frowning:

Also the proverb is “De kat op het spek binden” or “Binding the cat to the bacon”, which literally means to tempt someone in such a way that they cannot resist. :smirk:

I’m actually curious on how they found/chose the proverbs for each country. The one for Mexico I thought wouldn’t be popular enough to be even thought of, caught me by surprise xD

Someone is going for that Regular status :eyes:
