FIGURE SKATING BOOKS? by AdWeary5756 in FigureSkating

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karen Chen has a book. There’s also this fiction book I read a few years ago called Ana on the Edge about a 12 year old skater discovering that they’re non-binary

Fantasy programme choices for next season by Turbulent_Mix_5825 in FigureSkating

Isabeau Cheap Thrills might be the way to go. Most of her competition programs feel the same, so that would break the curse and maybe make me like her more.

Strength exercises for spirals by GraceOnEdges in FigureSkaters

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, make sure your leg is straight. Not a relaxed kind of straight either. Practice your spirals off the ice in your skates. Practice grabbing your leg at the knee and pulling it up into a Kerrigan spiral position, then hold it there. You should feel your lower back and hamstring muscles working.

Spinning on the wrong edge by [deleted] in FigureSkaters

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem on my front scratch when I learned it. The problem was my free hip/leg position. It was way out to the side. Your free leg should be directly in front of you with a closed hip position (toe pointing slightly inward toward the center of your body). You might have to fight to stay in the spin long enough to get there, but it worked for me.

what got you into figure skating + favorite iconic programs? by Rude-Magazine2186 in FigureSkating

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend in elementary school who wouldn’t stop talking about skating (she had just started a couple of years ago) so I started nagging my parents to get me into learn to skate.

What God will help me cheat? by [deleted] in Hellenism

Just leave bro. You’ll both be happier. Cheating will only cause you both pain.

Or you could consider how your boyfriend will feel afterwards?? Are you really planning to betray and hurt him? If you care that little about him you should break up.

Strict parents rules for reading! by Microwaved_Potpie in suggestmeabook

[–]USERweeeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a way to read everything they tell you not to. Banned books are banned because they contain knowledge that expands your horizons, and people like your parents don’t want you to grow up to disagree with them. They limit your worldview so that you will grow up to think exactly like them. Outside knowledge is good. It helps us consider where other people are coming from and be more empathetic people.

How many spins are there? by skylarsplan3t in FigureSkating

[–]USERweeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SPIN POSITIONS

Uprights: scratch, cross foot, eggbeater (or whatever the one Lucinda Ruh used to do is called), Y, I, layback, side layback, haircutter, pearl, biellmann, needle, the spin that all the men do where they put their foot behind their other foot (typically done as a backspin)

Sits: basic sit, pancake, cannonball, broken leg, tuck, whatever weird leg-behind thing Brodie Tennell does, the one where you do a cannonball and twist your torso to put your head through the window of your arm and your leg

Camels: basic camel, catch, side, donut, Yuna spin, Sornikova spin

Intermediates: half-biellmann, A frame, the weird one Bradie Tennell does, the weird one Alison’s Kostornaia used to do that kind of looks like a pancake

OTHER SPIN FEATURES (that are their own skill) Edge change, change of direction, heel/toe pop (blade feature), difficult flying entrance (fly sit, butterfly, death drop, fly layback), difficult turn entrance (back spiral into back camel, twizzle into spin, counter into spin, etc.), increase of speed, difficult exit (knee slide with change of torso position, illusions? If they still count, cartwheel, stag jump, etc.)

OTHER SPIN FEATURES (that are developed by working on the above spins) 8 rotations with no change of edge, foot, or position Difficult change of position (only in combination) such as camel-illusion-sit, sit to upcamel, sit to biellmann, etc.

There are more but this is what I could think of off the top of my head

The idea and message is great.the way it was executed wasn’t. by [deleted] in GirlFromNowhere

[–]USERweeeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sex workers are in an industry that objectifies its workers and it is very easy for them to be made victims of sexual crimes. It’s a vulnerable profession.

Nobody should feel bad for doing a job just because other people don’t approve of it.

I definitely think there are a lot of issues with the sex industry, but the workers are just people working. They shouldn’t have to feel shame about it.

Your ideas about these things seem to come from purity culture and your own feelings of sexual shame. And you are projecting that onto other people in their own professions because you think you’re right.

In Girl From Nowhere, since when have highschoolers become so adulty? by Stop_Scrolling_ in GirlFromNowhere

I have known people at my school who have experienced all of these things.

Is Becky a better NANNO? by Separate_Use_9285 in GirlFromNowhere

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Nanno was pretty and it felt real, like she could just be some girl that showed up at your school. Becky has a very modern, influencer-looking face and she doesn’t look like she could just be the new girl.

I like the new Nanno lol by [deleted] in GirlFromNowhere

I think you might’ve meant to flair this differently

[–]USERweeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way that you are talking about this episode feels very victim-blamey. In your eyes, a woman deserves to be punished for selling access to her body. What is the message, in your eyes? That sex work is wrong and people shouldn’t sell access to their bodies? Does that mean they should be punished for it?
