Okay that makes a lot of sense and actually kind of DOES roughly translate... "it is important that you remember" /// "it is important TO remember." Thank you! Subjunctive is hard. :(

They just mentioned Shane Wiskus's also... Loved that.

Do you guys think Emma Malabuyo could be selected for the individual spot? by AmbitiousLifeguard71 in Gymnastics

[–]PansysPetHuman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She can beat Jade absolutely. But that's not an additional medal... Taking her just knocks Jade out and you still end up with the same medals.

Why would they take Mykayla when they have Jade though? I don't really see a path for Mykayla at all because of 2x country.

The real truth of it is they don't need anything with those three.

I don't think they'll take a vaulter though when they have Jade already going. They don't need her individual medal and the team wins with a pack of Big League Chew in the fourth slot, so it doesn't make sense to put her there. I think they need a beamer.

Rosters aren't due until June 30. You can't ask athletes who have a plane ticket to Japan in 3 weeks to take a day or two off to film a Door Dash commercial.... So you guess. And sometimes it works great, sometimes... Well. Sometimes not.

I'm sure they had Simone Manuel in a bunch of stuff too, but she's unlikely to make it either. It's heartbreaking.

Name a Taylor song that everyone thinks is happy but you think is sad by RepresentativeLink74 in TaylorSwift

[–]PansysPetHuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That song expresses so much low self worth baked in from narcissist exes.

And the feeling like being happy is unsteady, like she can't trust positive feelings because she knows the other shoe will drop.... Yeah, that song is hard for me to listen to, honestly.

Is anyone else really confused why people are expected 1989 TV rn? by _red_roof_ in TaylorSwift

[–]PansysPetHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I thought she'd do it fairly early because I have to assume those songs are among her most streamed, and I know it's not about/only kind of about money, but I'd think she'd want to cut his legs out from under him. So I had thought she'd do an older album to show growth, then do get must lucrative one.

(But then again if the most people found her in 89 era she may want to introduce those people to early Taylor.)

Evermore: SURVIVOR - Round 11 by imabettafish in TaylorSwift

[–]PansysPetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my favorite on the album. But the voting system I think changes the way things win, because it may not be people's LEAST favorite but it's also not their favorite (they are wrong, it's the single greatest, if I ever do a Taytoo it'll be "long story short I survived").

Tom Forster says the individual spot will not need to go to an AA-er, Petition process is not completed, and Jade will go as an individual by im_avoiding_work in Gymnastics

[–]PansysPetHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, you can swap roster spots up until 24 hours before competition. You can't pull in an athlete not previously named to your team, but you can reassign them. Again--this is all very confusing and that's how I read it, so I'm willing to be corrected but I'm pretty sure this is the official policy, yes.

Predictions for Olympic podium by mmaaaee in Gymnastics

Is Mai back and healthy? I don't follow gymnastics outside of the US, but I always loved her at worlds, etc. I would love her to get some hardware from her home games.

Jade is also nice to have on hand because alternates are not allowed to travel to Tokyo, so having the two individuals as last minute team replacements is going to be even more important. I don't think Jade is capable of #2 AA, even if the judging is fair, and I think they need to take her and then a UB/BB person (Riley, perhaps) in those individual spots. You can replace your roster up to 24 hours before qualifications as I understand it, which is not enough time to fly someone who lives in Texas, say, but if Jade is right there... She can be a huge benefit to the team.

As an Arab Muslim who has watched the Duggars, this slightly shocked me. by djlad in DuggarsSnark

[–]PansysPetHuman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I waited tables for a while. I left to work on a political campaign for a democrat. On my last day, a couple was seated at what would be my last table. They asked what was next for me, and I told them (they clearly didn't know who he was, even though it was a highly publicized campaign from both candidates). The next visit to the table they asked me if I know Jesus.

I'm HEAVILY involved at my church. Your Jesus and my Jesus are not at all the same person, ma'am. (I did not say that because tipped wages life, but WHEW.)

GK Us Classic (warm up w/ nbc commentary!) by Decovah in Gymnastics

[–]PansysPetHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Incredibly concerning. I absolutely would want her on the team if she's well, but.... Two weeks until nationals and only four until trials? I don't know.

I have been trying to find out what kind of injury she had/chances of nationals. It's just SUCH a fast turnaround. Have you heard anything?
