And yeah, just like in any other part of the world, Europeans also brought slaves to that place during the Age of Exploration. It happened in the Philippines and it also happened in Cuba.
Also, he's lucky that he pointed guns for fun or when he's angry.

Anyway, this is a well-researched piece. And it's timely as heck, especially since we are in Olympics season and everyone is on heightened alert on which things are good or detrimental to the game.
And yeah, the first time I saw the NASA-tech swimsuits, I thought it spelled trouble. It's bad enough for a person who is a swimming machine to get additional help, but what if the person is a biological man who is identified as a female? No, I am not trying to go into that issue, but that suddenly made me realize the whole Lia Thomas and Riley Gaines thing.
For a dude who is terrified of deep water, I couldn't care less. However, swimming is like running where every second counts. Anytime a person shaves a second or two because of his or her outfit, it's hella important.
Also, on the whole "prosthetics" thing, maybe they can just have a max allowable for it? I mean, I mean lab tests have ranges. There is a mark where it says that your cholesterol level is okay, and it has a leeway. So why can't a 6'2 person be stuck with a 5'9 prosthetic blade? Can he just have at least a leeway of one or two inches?
Anyway, this is Cleo Abram's wonderful YT piece.
