Take it to the golf thread.
@Kikó ./
I think you mean the Mental Health thread.
We need to repurpose the golf thread as the off topic thread because golf is shit.
Things like whatsapp groups are simply impossible to moderate. It's end-to-end encrypted so they can't view your messages even if they wanted to and if they ever got rid of that in the interests of moderating what people message it would be dead within 10 minutes and replaced by the next encrypted messaging app.
I've heard it can be good for your mental health.
Save this shit for the covid thread.
Karriss Artingstall has looked fantastic in the boxing. I think she can go all the way. #teamgb
Oh too late.
1. I didn't have a breakdown
2. That wasn't why I suggested a sub-forum
3. I didn't say anything like that about Biles, what fucking planet are you on? Show me this instant where I did or retract it immediately
4. Does no one read anything properly any more?
You're apologising for them, which really isn't on. It's their duty to keep their platforms free from harming their user base, they manifestly don't do that and if they can't start to then they shouldn't be allowed to operate as they do.
It's madness.

BUT IT'S FINE. CAN'T POLICE TEH EVERYTHINGA key issue that civil society groups focus on is Facebook’s lack of Burmese-speaking content moderators. In early 2015, there were just two of them.
Mate, consolidate your posts. You'll give Mahow something to worry about. This is peak unemployment Shindig levels of post boosting. You don't want that life.
And finally, "it's difficult to do anything" should never ever be a reason to let bad things happen.
These companies are worth Billions, they have it in their gift to find a solution.
I've never done multi-quote shit offs and I'm not starting now.
In that case you should be aware me and you had the same post count at the weekend.
Again, I'm not. But the reality is things like facebook are simply too big with too much content being posted to moderate effectively, and nobody is going to shut them down. It's wrong, but it's the way it is.
And again, things like whatsapp cannot be moderated at all. It is impossible.
Obviously Biles just needed the proper coaching:
Well then we're never going to stop self harm, no matter how many memes we post.
Maybe if you liked and shared and tagged your first five @‘s things would be different.
Oh no, the internet might run out of space! And what are you doing looking at post counts?
Obviously we're never going to "stop" self-harm. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do the positive things we can do.
If I had the attitude that there's no point trying to do any good if there's other things fucking it up which I can't fix then I'd have to quit my job tomorrow.
And do what for money chocolate boy?
It's been forty minutes. I'd give it until the hour and offer him out properly.
I'd have Romano's crown within 6 months.
The entire Aussie track and field team has been forced into lockdown because of COVid
Uh oh
"Show me this instant where I did or retract it immediately"
Fucking hell.
Isn't the whole media wankfest over her pulling out basically about how it's still much harder to admit any mental health problem then any physical health problem?
The stigma over being for example "stressed" far outweighs the stigma over having a broken ankle. And it shouldn't.
No one would give a shit if she'd landed funny and twisted a knee meaning she couldn't perform anymore. But whatever is wrong with her mentally right now is just as debilitating to her performance but some people are unwilling to accept that.
It's important to be firm about these things as being mis-represented is not cool. He still hasn't shown me where I said that."Show me this instant where I did or retract it immediately"
Fucking hell.
Right guys, with the big day less than 5 days away now I think it's important to profile the competitors for the Women's 87KG+ on Monday 2nd August.
This is the entire field:
And here are the odds to win gold.
So a runaway favourite for Gold and a runaway favourite for Silver.
Li Wenwen is one big mother fucker.
Massive bottle job from the women in the rugby sevens. Winning 21-0 and concede 26 points in a row to lose.
She is indeed. My profile of each will include pen pics, a biography, vital statistics and an assessment of whether they should be competing in this category at this Olympics. It's gonna be red hot takes all of the way.
Looking at those odds some might say that the inclusion of Hubbard is going to screw GB out of a bronze medal. What do I say? Well, you'll have to wait.
Why are you so interested in that one event, Yev?
I think a field with a clear favourite for gold, a clear favourite for silver and a tussle for bronze could lead to an excellent spectacle on the day.
Sorry to go off topic but the Rugby Sevens has been the best sport at this Olympics.
Michaela Blyde the most obvious PED abuser I've seen in some time.
We start with the Guatemalan, Scarleth Ucelo, which for my money is a brilliant name. That's the only place my money will be going though as at she's one of the joint rank outsiders at 100/1.
She's 21 and finished 5th in the 2019 Pan American games at the same weight she'll be competing at here. The internet doesn't seem to have her height and weight anywhere, so that'll have to stay as unknown until the tournament starts. She does have an 85kg best for the snatch and a 120kg best for the clean and jerk, which I believe makes her Guatemala's best ever.
And here's a snap in her civvies. Possibly sexist to include but the Facebook page that seemingly broke the news she was competing did, so I will too.

Best of luck Scarleth.
Next we head to Mongolia and Erdenebat Bilegsaikhan, whose name I had to switch screens three times as I was typing it into Google to get it right. Irritating. Still, what's even harder to do is find a picture of her in action. I couldn't, so we'll have to go with this prison style mugshot.
I feel Mongolian weightlifting could do with a public relations department.
No weight and height again, but her best is 95kg for the Snatch and 115kg for the Clean and Jerk, which she achieved in Pattaya in 2019.
As a child she trained as a contortionist. "I'm probably the most flexible weightlifter. Flexibility is very important in weightlifting. Contortion has been a big part of my success."
Was just about to wrap another 100/1 outsider post up and then I found her Facebook page, so here she is with some weights.
Seems she's a Man Utd or Robin van Persie fan. I'll let you decide which one she likes more with this picture from her Facebook page.

Good luck Erdenebat.
Was not expecting Yev to go full Uto-at-Eurovision for womens weightlifting.
Are you due on Mastermind?
So you can write profiles of Mongolian weightlifters but can’t do a WDYTOE? Disgusting.
Comprehensive is the word you're looking for Ian.
What is already saddening me about this (and I didn't realise it would so quickly) is that I'm only two competitors down and it's already clear to see how much they've put into this and how much they care. It's their lifelong dream that (in the case of Erdenbat at least they've practised 6 hours a day for, for years) and... well, I don't want to spoil the hot takes too early.
You won't be saying that when the event starts James, there may be a load of rank outsiders who've never lifted close to a weight that'll be enough to win gold, but just because they haven't doesn't mean they can't.
Do they all have big snatches?
