This whole Olympics thing is a mess and shouldn't be happening. Side note: she's sorta not-blind? -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 07:00 4
- I get confused by the usage of the word blind sometime to mean people with diminished vision so perhaps it's just a me thing -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 07:00 3
  - Correct. She has limited vision but isn't completely blind yet. -- nm - Krusty Jul 20, 07:01
  - there's "blind" and "legally blind" -- nm - oblique Jul 20, 07:01 1

"All I said was "We'll drop her in the practice pool, let her swim the laps, and just tell her she got fourth place. Win-win."" -- nm - employment review committee hearing Jul 20, 06:52 2
- I went there too. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 07:04
- Oh you're going to hell for that, and I'm going with you for laughing at it. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 20, 06:58
(To be clear, her PCA doesn’t have COVID, she was not allocated a spot in the limited number that Japan is letting in) -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 06:41 1
- It’s almost like holding a global sporting event in the middle of a pandemic isn’t the smartest idea. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 06:42
