I don‘t think it‘s that easy. Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps are roughly the same height but Bolt has much longer legs. They couldn’t switch sports and still have any sort of notable success.
Of course, it all depends on how we define competitive, competent and notable. The body type will largely define how far one can go in certain sports.
I need to try harder. I got a text yesterday asking me to vote for the only retardlican on the ballot and responded with Republicans can go fuck themselves. That reply and STOP result in being successfully unsubscribed from the list. Next time I’ll pretend I’m undecided and waste a bunch of their time before telling them to FO.

How does this happen every time? A single bing search can reveal their allegiance to the GOP.
Bolt is a freak, it’s hard to be a world class sprinter with well above average height. Most sprinters are just under 6’
How, indeed.
In the link I posted above, the audience question after media fuckboi has his litlte meltdown is from a Republican whose dad served as Secretary of Transportation under Reagan who wants to know how Biden will avoid the temptation to exact revenge and instead attempt to restore bipartisanship.
One of my favorite breweries has been doing political themed ipa releases. I messaged them last night saying they should name the next one “Underlevered”. Well…

You just came up with an amazing exhibition event - Bolt vs. Phelps in various swimming and sprinting formats. See who beats the other the worst.

Would be fun to see them race a 10k.

How is this even possible?
I don’t think there is anything inherently wrong with that. It would be inconsistent though if someone tries to use the “more power to anyone who is willing to do it … just not something I’d want to do” excuse when it comes to protesting in the streets and you don’t accept it in that instance.
That question was a layup which Biden handled fine though. Like, the obvious answer is to lie and crow about bipartisanship even when you know there’s no such thing.
I don’t think less of people who don’t want to protest. I have dear friends who aren’t down for that but who make a big difference in their own ways. One friend singlehandedly got her company to create a program to get more diversity in their executive and management levels by creating more opportunity and making sure the culture was welcoming and made people of color and women feel comfortable and appreciated.
She pushed for a long time to get it, but she’d never go out and protest. She’s probably had more impact on people’s lives than I have.

People are tired of Trump’s insanity.
This is the perpetual game these assholes play though. They are perfectly fine voting to wreck all of the shit they want destroyed, but when the bull escapes the china shop and heads straight for them they need promises of bipartisanship and return to normalcy. And then as soon as Biden wears a tan suit they’ll hold his feet to the fire.

Note that 73 million watched the first debate, so Trump’s little stunt of avoiding the debate did spare 60 million americans from additional exposure to Trump. #blessed

or shooting pistols, riding horses, and fencing
The fact that some of Trump’s audience was Biden supporters watching because they wanted to see what crazy shit he would do next, while probably none of Biden’s audience was trump supporters, is also promising.
