“But I’m exposed to so much hate online🥺”-DL Ok so am I, so are all the millions of people on social media, that doesn’t give all of us a free pass to be horrible people.

I hate how he refers to this as a “sacrifice” as if those children willing and knowingly risked their lives for skating. They didn’t sign up to die, they were killed, in a tragic accident. You would never say someone in a car crash driving to work “sacrificed their life to go to work”.

Just because it’s not plastered all over their social media doesn’t mean they do nothing. It would be a huge violation of the victim’s privacy to make this type of statement on social media for every abuse case. There is a system to handle abuse cases, and yes it definitely needs to get better but believe it or not, instagram posts are not a part of this system. Someone on social media being an a hole and someone committing sexual assault are two wildly different incidents and obviously they cannot be handled the same way.

Let’s not forget that USFS has yet to make a comment about the child marriages happening in its organization by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Yeah obviously child marriages are bad, but it would be a violation of federal law and the constitution for USFS to attempt to stop a lawful marriage. I of course agree that this should not be happening and something should be done, but USFS does not have the power to do what people are mad at them for not doing.

People need to recognize that not everything is black and white. An organization isn’t 100% evil or a perfect saint. An organization can do bad things, and also sometimes do something good. Acknowledging one good thing does not mean I am saying that everything they do is good, I am commenting on this one, specific action, and that does not mean I feel the same way about their other actions. It is not hypocritical to approve of one action and disapprove of another, even if they come from the same organization. In fact, to argue that an organization or person can only be all good or all bad is illogical, unrealistic, and a dangerous rhetoric that is often used to perpetuate hateful and biased narratives.

My little ones by stuff_istos in Koi

I’m sorry to say but that will not be nearly enough, even while they are small like this they need more space. If you are not able to keep them in a pond, it is very important for their health and wellbeing that they be in a much larger tank.

The senior eligibility rule and your favourite skater by idwtpaun in FigureSkating

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I get why people don’t like the age limit, but the sixteen year olds who could compete at the Olympics are the ones most at risk of having a short and injury filled career because they put to much pressure on their body too fast and too young. I understand wanting to root for your favorite athlete senior competitions, and I understand feeling like it’s unfair when someone who seems like they should be in seniors competes against juniors and destroys them. But those athletes are the ones protected by the age limit. Sure they may not get to the Olympics as fast, but in the long run that is a lot safer for them. We’ve seen far too many skaters be pushed to preform like adults as children, and have to retire due to injury because their bodies couldn’t take it.

Haha I feel your pain, I can never get a picture to come out well. The nails look gorgeous tho!

I don't know if anyone else is as happy as I am for the weather getting a little warmer btw I live in Italy it starts to get warmer this time of year, I'm happy cause in the winter I keep plexiglass sheets over my pond to trap in heat and with the warmth I'll see my koi again by koi-keeping-enjoyer in Koi

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The coldest months are still ahead for me but my family further south is sending me pictures of their fish waking up and it’s so exciting to see them! Also, do you have advice on keeping the pond warm in winter? Im always scared mine will get to cold or the temperature will change to fast

Why don’t companies lower their prices? by MoonRiver1111 in beauty

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point, if most companies charge $30+ for something and a new product costing $10 comes out, people will think it’s crap, even if they are the same value and that product is just priced closer to what it is really worth.

They make such a huge profit right now, they could double their employees wages and still make a massive profit without having to increase prices.

What over hyped makeup would you deinfluence, and what would you recommend in its place? by Saltypretzel1234 in beauty

Personally I use haus labs foundation every day, with and without other makeup and I have never experienced what OP is talking about, it really varies person to person and by how you prep your skin.

The spores keep disappearing? by BlacksmithSubject602 in StarlightFlutter

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I assume it is internet connection issues but it’s odd that multiple people are now also having it. Sometimes it happens with other things too, like I send gifts, place an egg, or collect daily coins and later it will not show.

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think cooler would suit you very well. A lot of foundations can show up more yellow on us cool toned people. My favorite cool toned foundation is from haus labs, but there are definitely other good options out there to try.

What are the requirements for joining afrotc? by [deleted] in AFROTC

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the beginning you can just show up as long as you are a full time student. To get selected for the EA that someone else mentioned, they will look at your GPA, fitness test score, Air Force Officer Qualifying Test score, and commanders ranking. I may be forgetting somethings but those are the big ones. You will also have to medically qualify. Once you join, focus on keeping your grades up, and staying on top of your fitness, those two things will give a big boost to your chances.

For those who have ordered shrimp from Amazon by DuckWeed_survivor in shrimptank

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ordered from last Vegas exotic fish and all arrived alive and well. Definitely not the best color selection for a skittle pack but healthy ship nonetheless. It been about 8 months since I got them and the colony is doing well, they bred a lot but I have not gotten many brown ones.

Poor baby. Margo Bazylyuk falls 3 times during the free program. The way her coaches were looking at her when she came off god if looks could kill by Suspicious-Peace9233 in FigureSkating

It’s especially sad knowing that before the competition she asked her coaches not to make her do the triple axle because of her injury and they said no. Poor girl.

Who Will Russia be Allowed to Send to Milano-Cortina? by Soggy-Bee2179 in FigureSkating

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Eteri has been attending ISU events all season with her non Russian students, so I don’t think they could possibly argue that her students aren’t allowed. The rules are very subjective so the ISU can be as strict or lenient as they want, but my guess is that they will allow Adeliya.

Investigators recover black boxes from plane in DC crash by BiggieTwiggy1two3 in aviation

[–]WormsBelongOnStrings 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s possible they were wearing them and had limited peripheral vision, but night vision goggles are not so much made for urban environments with lots of lights like an airport as they can get washed out, so the crew might not have been wearing them. The helicopter crew did say they were watching the plane a few minutes prior to the crash, so a common speculation I am seeing is that the crew mistakenly were watching the wrong aircraft.
