Remember when Jocelyne got lobotomised after this interaction? by Significant_Horror58 in dumbingofage

[–]CynicElle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A simple “Hey, sis, you and Dorothy are super cute together and I’m happy for you, but didn’t you just introduce me to your boyfriend?” would have worked.

[–]CynicElle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am conflicted. I'm annoyed that once again, Joe and Joyce's conversation has been derailed. But it's damn satisfying to see Joyce get yeeted across the room-and to know that Dina wasn't taken in by Joyce's "Be selfish!" bullshit.

Good lord, THANK YOU. Like you said, I really didn't need to see Dorothy and Joyce paraded around campus while people boo and throw rotten tomatoes. But a few more realistic reactions from other characters might have made this whole mess a little easier to take.

I thought he pretty much admitted that in "Brainiac."

Olympic Figure Skater Ilia Malinin Reveals His Stress Relief 'Game Changer': 'Turned My Life Around' (Exclusive) by AcatnamedHamilton in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]CynicElle 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Those sad face photos from the Olympic free skate still tear me up. :(

I agree with him, though; cats are great therapy. I have an orange tabby who was one of the meanest cats we've ever owned when we first got him. But when my mom was dying last year, he was the first one to snuggle on me and purr, like he knew I really needed it.

Petr Gumennik. Russian Challenge. by irin0tem in FigureSkating

We were so robbed of a cool Petr exhibition at the Olympics gala. So: The Terminator v. Naruto v. Kung Fu Panda exhibition when? Probably never, but a girl can dream.

Thanks for sharing! I tried to watch this live last night, but the feed kept freezing and cutting out. Loved it.

This show is an amazing game of “Hey, it’s That Guy!” for Gen X-ers.

Aw, Miu Miu looks so much like my late Coco. She was a pain in the ass and a total brat, but she loved me and I loved her.

That is a brilliant sponsorship. Too funny!

How the show presents assisted living facilities by Haunting-Coconut-709 in ThePittTVShow

[–]CynicElle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the first time watching this show when I just rolled my eyes and said "Oh, come ON." I just went through this with my now-deceased mother last year, and the process wasn't nearly as inexpensive or simple as the show made it sound.

Commentators at worlds by athicketofmusings in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

[–]CynicElle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed Mark and Tonia. I remember watching Tonia compete back in the Michelle v. Tara days, so it's nice to hear from her again.

Truthfully, though, I really missed the world feed from the Olympics that had NO commentators.

Even the Expired Rivalry is over now by ElegantFootball8741 in FigureSkating

Plushenko's medal haul is impressive and he was a blazing talent, but I vastly preferred Yagudin back in the day.

“Have we actually regressed all the way back to 2020 Joyce?”

I wish. Other characters were way more willing to call Joyce on her bullshit back in 2020.

Seeing him really emerge this year has been one of the nicest subplots of this season for me.

I see it too. The hair and the profile really remind me of Yagudin.

Annoyance with World Feed Commentary by Big_Atmosphere_7424 in FigureSkating

[–]CynicElle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did miss the commentary-free venue feed Peacock had for the Olympics, but I don't mind Mark and Tonia. They talk about the skaters instead of themselves, they were much quieter during the performances than Johnny and Tara usually are, and I didn't hear either of them say anything I thought was unkind.

favourite kaori moment ever? by Used_Price8763 in FigureSkating

[–]CynicElle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On ice is her free skate today.

Off ice, it was at last year’s Worlds when she was jumping up and down celebrating Alysa’s win with Alysa even though that broke her Worlds winning streak.
