When Argentina beat the US in the 2004 olympics for basketball, was it big news over there?

I know in Argentina, footy is king, but what was the general reaction in Argentina in 2004 when the Argentinian team beat the US in Basketball?

What's the deal with Thomas being more public nowadays?

Like, he's out there doing interviews, talking to paparazzi, doing meet and greets?

What happened?

Blokes below 5’11”, have you dated a woman who was taller than you?

I'm 5 ft 8 in tall, which is below average in height in the UK. When I first moved here from the Philippines with my parents and my siblings in Cardiff back in early 2008.

Initially, I was inclined to only date Filipinas for cultural reasons but 11 months in, me and my bro realised that:

-The vast majority of Filipinas in our area were OAP's (one was basically an 81 old lady who is bedridden)

-We're not interested in importing a woman from the Philippines. No way.

-Wales isn't San Francisco, there are hardly Filipinos here.

so we chose to expand our horizons which thankfully, ended well for both of us as we are married to our respective spouses now.

One of the first women I was able to date was a woman who was 5'10 who is half Jamaican. It ended because she had to move to the US to join her mum.

2nd was a half Indian woman who I met in Download Fest. Was shorter than me though.

My wife of 12 years is a woman from Cwmbran who is my height. (And 4 years my senior)

What are your experiences?

With Filipino media putting KMFDM on the spotlight recently, is there anyone here who likes that genre?

Like Nine inch Nails/Rammstein/Rob Zombie/Powerman 5000?

I've been listening to KMFDM since the Mortal Kombat movie came out in the 90s

Is it just me, or is our Facebook feeds crap nowadays?

Back in the 2010s, all I see is posts of my friends and the pages I follow.

Now it's full of nothing but right wing propaganda from pages that I don't even follow, like what the hell?
