I don’t care about the Olympics but this comment is so funny, do you just watch nothing then? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Before you hit 'submit' on a comment, do you ever look back and critically evaluate whether it makes a logical, cohesive statement?

> tv nowadays is mostly politics
That's a bit of a silly thing to say.
I don't have any direct "TV" these days, but my parents do.
And I know that there are hundreds of choices that have nothing to do with politics.
Kids' shows, sports, reality TV, documentaries, quiz/game shows, dramas, crime shows, movies, and so on.
It's like saying the internet is nothing but politics.
You're right about ads though.
And you could argue that the internet's worse for ads, but at least you can block them here. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Ah, the mount Everest approach. (Not joking, dont google this) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
That was supposed to have been fixed with the [gigantic cistern](https://www.france24.com/en/france/20240502-paris-inaugurates-massive-water-storage-basin-to-clean-up-river-seine-for-olympics) they just built. If there's bacteria problems, it could be a different source? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Hell of a way to find out the Olympics are this year | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
They didn't say that the cashiers can only speak French, but that they only spoke in French.
They may well be multilingual, but choose not to, which would be a very Parisian thing to do | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
The Grand Paris Express is currently Europe's largest transport infrastructure project and the fourth largest on the planet with an estimated revised cost of €38bn.

It’s absolutely insane to think they could hold events in the river. Really foolish. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
>Because no athletes have famously gotten things like HIV...
The fact that you had to go that far back proves the point.
Sure, someone is going to catch something. However, the percentage of athletes who have something is drastically lower than the general population, to the point where it's not a significant issue. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

Wait till the sharks get in on the action. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
yeah but my understanding is that there was this huge clean-up effort to get it clean enough for the Olympics
I can imagine a scenario where they aren't successful in this, but they don't want to impact the games, so they have the mayor swim in the river anyway while keeping the lingering e-coli etc on the DL | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
It is, screams "What about me?! I'm a fucking victim dying in the streets over here you want me to care about some sport?"
Also it's extra funny they have literal HUNDREDS of things more important, proceeds to list exactly 4 things before busting out the "etc" | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
True but it’s still incredibly antiquated. In most places nowadays you can just use contactless. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
I was in London for 3 days and Paris for 3 days…one of them accepted credit card directly and one did not. I didnt need to download an app (with no cell service) in London. All i am saying is one of the systems was more prepared for a million+ international tourists from all over the world. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Im from europe but I sometimes watch FoxSports 1 online. Jesus, those fucking medicine commercials are the worst. I know its a law, but listing every single possible side effect for 20sec is absurd, more than half of some commercials are just side effects. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
All cities have complex problems. I’m not an engineer, obviously, all I’m saying is that it’s possible for a city to mitigate dumping shit into a river. Lots of places have done it, even aside from any particular example. And, personally, I find it surprising that Paris hasn’t.
Besides, the street layout isn’t totally relevant. This kind of thing usually uses those giant tunnel borers that dig deep into bedrock. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
And if i didn’t have cell service in a foreign country? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Nothing about your reply says that I am incorrect.
Do you ever consider that you're not going to change some stranger's mind, just by being a shit to them? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

If you have a paid peacock account, you can use it to sign in on the NBC olympics website and watch the videos there live and on demand. Or you could during the "2020" summer Olympics. It's how I watched the surfing and skateboarding events. Not sure if that will now given how much the streaming meta has morphed | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

So they built a new cistern and a new water treatment plant AND some other new facilities and it's still fucked?
Yikes.
Also makes one wonder why it took the Olympics to happen for Paris to actually do something about this, seems like a public health hazard… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

They'll try and shock the river to try and make it safe in time and end up causing an environmental disaster and giving contestants chemical burns I can practically see it now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Lol!
Gods help us.... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
It sounds like they may have come to their senses and cancelled it.
But the 'why' has already been answered:
> "They make us live in shit, so we are going to make them bathe in shit".
That was literally the whole logic around it, and why it was specifically planned for the 23rd when Paris' mayor and Macron were going to swim. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Generally, yes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

It used to be that they would show a ton of events on broadcast TV. Now they basically show nothing. You have to pay for a subscription to get access to their Olympics app. My wife was a huge fan of watching the Olympics, but because of their shenanigans we don’t watch it at all now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Where does it come from? Is there a way to track it to its source? How do we stop it? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
It's a joke. The French take their language very seriously. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

The first Olympic event in the ~~cleaned-up~~ Seine is the men's triathlon, including a 1.5-kilometre swim, on the morning of July 30. The women's triathlon is the next day, and a mixed relay event is due to take place on August 5.
Marathon swimming races over 10 kilometres for women and men are scheduled on August 8 and 9, respectively. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Isn't SK legally allowed to destroy any and all man-made structures within the DMZ? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Well the math has been done, before SK could return artillery fire NK can unload a barrage into Seoul and the entire DMZ that would equate to over 100k civilian deaths, that’s just using 54 medium range rockets and their short range artillery. Air defense would not protect well against this attack. Projections show they would save long range and higher power munitions for when the west inevitably shows up, so you are right it’s very unlikely and total decimation would never happen. However if they were to just say “suicide by artillery” they could light up the entire peninsula and wait for the retaliation to take them out as well. Strategically it’s not good for them but it is in the realm of possibility | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
Yeah that's what I was thinking. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |

North Korea doesn't need a chance against South Korea, they have millions of pieces of artillery pointed at Seoul. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
They can kill hundreds of thousands if not millions in an hour with those artillery guns pointed at Seoul. China runs NK and they have 0 concern for losing millions of NK people to inflict damage on the west. It's a common theme among the new Axis. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
If there was evidence that North Korea would actually fire those shells, the USA would know about it beforehand and carpet bomb the entire country. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
The difference is Russia had a larger population and larger army at the start going against an Ukraine that just started modernizing in 2014*.
South Korea has a larger economy, larger population, larger Air Force, far more tanks of a modern quality, a conscription system that has led to a massive reserve, a budget that can sustain a war, and so much more.
Even if somehow NK got past the DMZ (unlikely) they would be using 50-70s tech against some of the most modern tanks in the world, most modern planes in the world. And it would be a very short and controlled front.
In short- NK would have literally no chance and they’re only card is threatening to use artillery on civilians and nukes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
If anything 2024 NK couldn’t beat 1990 NK (sans nukes). The collapse of the USSR fucked them over royally much like Cuba. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-15-06 |
