Is archery not a sport then? Or say, golf?

Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn't on the list.

He didn't divinely guide their hand, but he certainly pushed a certain narrative, painting the left as an even worse alternative.

Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. "et", that is "and" in English) in French

Speaking English using French vocabulary is a real cheat code

It's not magic, but it has advantages that are hard to beat in terms of resource usage. Renewables also have advantages, but you can't handwave away their own problems and limitations anymore than you can do so for nuclear energy.

In Switzerland's case, most of these "military guns" are not kept with ammo, so it's not like Timmy can go on a shooting spree with a glorified pipe section. There's also an actual license system for buying and owning weapons and ammo.

I always wonder why especially liberal/left-leaning people (not implying/saying you are one) are so opposed to private gun ownership

Well, there's a pretty good example of why virtually unrestricted gun ownership is a bad idea in the USA. Are poverty, healthcare the bigger issues? Of course. That doesn't mean you should compound them by making it easy for people to act with deadly force at the tip of their finger on impulse. Have a proper license system, make gun safes mandatory, don't give licenses without good reasons (self defense isn't one in 99.99% of cases), control ammunition sale.

Unless you interacted with 90 year olds, it's unlikely anyone would be mad about thinking you're German these days.

It's entirely possible you encountered assholes, they do exist, though they're generally equally assholes to everyone regardless of country of origin so don't take it personally.

Did you perhaps forget to say bonjour/excusez moi or other necessary greetings? That'll make people look angrily at you regardless of how good your french is

None of these are in the UK? Maybe take a second to check the context of the meme before jumping to conclusions
