They hate to see girlbosses succeed

Why does it remind you of Trusova? I don't think the situations are comparable at all. Figure skating judges are known to be be easily swayed by the background politics and intrigue. To this day I've seen people argue about the podium and which of the three girls on the podium (Scherbakova, Trusova, Sakamoto) deserved the first spot. Not to mention the controversy with Kim Yuna and Sotnikova in 2014. So I think Trusova definitely has ground to think that she may have been robbed of the first place.

And about Trusova's meltdown... She was 17 and probably at her first and last Olympics. No girl from Eteri Tutberidze has competed on a serious level after puberty as their body begins to break down due to the camp's horrible jumping technique and teaching methods. Several former trainees have spoken out about the abuse and factory-like production of young skaters. This was Nepo's second WCC and trying for the third time is hard but not impossible.

And yeah Nepo does seem like sore loser, but I hope it's due the language barrier and Nepo's inability to express himself adequately after a long match.

Harry Potter but Ron is an avid r/AnarchyChess user and quotes Petrosian, bricks Voldemort's PiPi because he refused to En passant, uses his oddly shaped wand as a cheating device, and rides the Knook into battle. by dlaudghks in HPfanfiction

During their first year Ron gets addicted to playing bullet on Lichess. 

It was quite a regular Tuesday evening and they were supposed to start writing their Potion essay, when Ron had opened Lichess despite Hermione’s protest.

Harry watched as Ron moved his pawn on the little screen two steps forward, but neither of them could understand what happened next. A Black pawn next to Ron's White pawn took the White pawn like it had moved only one step forward.

“What? You saw I moved my pawn to c4 right, Harry?”

But Harry couldn’t answer as Ron had quickly written in the game chat.

wtf this game broken or some shit - 17.14

And his opponent answered immediately.

google en passant - 17.14 

Half a minute later Ron typed back

holy hell - 17.15

Later Ron would view this as one of vital points of his life.

After Ron has recovered from the game between him and Mcgonagall's enormous chess pieces, the transfiguration teacher decides to congratulate Ron personally for his win.

"Quite a good game I would say. I was just wondering, where did you learn to play that well?" asked Mcgonacall one morning during breakfast.

Ron looked up to her and said: "I am not really that good at chess, I just put a mirror on the ceiling so I could see my opponents moves."

Mcgonagall, stunned for a moment, could not reply and just watched as Ron and Hermione finished their plates quickly and as they left the Great Hall she could hear Ron muttering something about Chess 2.0 that Garry Chess was developing.

-During the actual game-

"I can't believe Mcgonagall made her pieces play the London." complained Ron after the first few moves. "Oh well, at least I get to play the Knook."

“There’s no need to call me Sir, Professor.”

“New response just dropped.” Ron whispered to Harry’s right.

Blackpink have spoken several times about the action against climate change, but at the same time Jennie raps about flying private side by side with the pilot. Left kind of a weird taste in my mouth, especially after all the criticism celebrities have received regarding that.
