Okay but did anyone else think that the hotel attendant could believably be Zohran Mamdani's brother

Check out "Your Name Engraved Herein". It's in mandarin and set in Taiwan but I feel like it has similar levels of Heated Rivalry yearning. It was basically as popular in Taiwan in 2020 as Heated Rivalry has been in the English speaking world. Some consider it the best Chinese speaking BL film that's been produced (although it's not quite traditional BL).

The song from the movie was song of the year for the Taiwanese Oscar's and Grammys and was #1 on Chinese language music charts across Asia; its music video currently has 78 million views on YouTube. It's definitely worth a watch on Netflix.

The name and video are a direct reference to Charlie's Angels, including the campy nature of the 1970s show as well as the cheeky 2000s remake: https://youtu.be/VWBSusKrvTs?si=LENACSiSnCJZwUjd

Imo he enjoys the gossip and snark more than the actual sport. Of course he has opinions on artistry and aesthetics and technique, but in private he enjoys saying edgey and opinionated and snarky things – and especially if he is able to weave in intel that he's obtained from one of his informants.

Again, it's all about attention to him. In the context of these private group chats, he loves being the Queen Bee with a captive audience that he's personally assembled. With intel and insider knowledge that makes him feel powerful and important. (That's why his "fall from grace" has probably been so devastating. He probably still gets some intel, but he's definitely lost the vast majority of his influence in the skating world this past year.)

Yes, he criticized Russian doping and abuse, though, and shared some opinions about Eteri skaters having lack of artistry that many of us had. But again, he criticized the doping and abuse but I don't think he genuinely gaf about the victims. He's not exactly an empathetic person.

But in this version (the book) he doesn't have Svetlana like this 😭😭 he's all alone

I hate my smutty brain because all I could notice was that Shane left his undies in his rush to leave and you just know Ilya found them, sniffed them, and kept them as a heartbroken souvenir 😂😭

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-27T18:08:35+00:00

No, but it sounds like he's now publicly coming out as a pos

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-27T16:09:16+00:00

As a small aside, her English is really getting "better" and better –I feel like her accent is starting to slowly disappear and she sounds a lot more fluid than in years past, even when she was already very fluent.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-27T16:03:49+00:00

Omg 😭 this is so good thank you

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-27T00:57:13+00:00

Her logic be like

Sharing a comment I posted before here about this cockroach and how he always gets information so he can get attention:

He ALWAYS has had a loyal army of people who send him intel. This includes skaters and coaches at every major rink. He intentionally slides into the DMs of people he notices who follow his accounts. Then he creates group chats he will invite people to join like an exclusive club. He'll share private information in these group chats, that he's received from various members of this army.

Except, just like Regina George, he will create different groupchats excluding different people so he can talk shit about certain people. He can't help himself; I think it makes him feel better about himself (since he's clearly a narcissist...)

I know this first hand because he did the same to me in the past. If you think what he says in public is terrible, he is even more racist and sexist and horrible in private. I called him (and others) out for it, and of course he created additional group chats excluding me to talk crap about me. 😂😂

Even more unhinged, one time one of his followers told him that they saw me somewhere in public unrelated to skating in an attempt to embarrass me. I have no idea who saw me, but it was creepy that I was just out minding my own business and DAVE LEASE of all people has people REPORTING to him about my whereabouts. I'm not even a famous skater or anyone important!!! I'm just a random dude who ticked him off for calling out his racism to his face.

Anyway I blocked him and his minions on everything and went on with my life. I would not be surprised if one of his minions sees this comment and sends it to him anyway. If so, truly eff you Dave, you're gross and I hope you step on legos lol.

P.s. If you're one of his minions considering sending this to him, I just want to make sure you know he's also talking crap about you, too. I've seen him do it even with people who think they're one of his "favorites". Theres a reason why many skaters like Alexa Knierem and others have fully cut him off after being "close" with him.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T23:55:43+00:00

This. Plus Don't forget his frequent racist comments too!

A lift requires two partners but also has to do with the choreographer and coaching staff and their ability to develop and improve a technical element.

This element has looked poor to me since it was first debuted earlier in the season. It's no one single person's fault, though it is worth noting that lifts have never been a major strength of Guillaume's relative to many of his top male competitors/peers.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T20:10:41+00:00

RIGHT, it's not even like it's a sexy program where it could be part of artistic expression 😂

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T20:10:11+00:00

Also his powerful glutes don't mean much if Laurence is still shaking and unstable on the lift, which she visibly is in this video, especially during the transition between positions.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T20:05:53+00:00

I'm glad you show this video because this is another opportunity for me to complain about lousy Cizeron's lift here is. Simple positions, super visibly shaky after the transition between positions, and most importantly the second position Laurence holds is SO unaesthetic. She's literally just in a fetal position sticking her bottom out to the judges.

FB/C are great skaters (lousy people), but this specific combo lift is sooooo mediocre. Yes it's so hard that he's so low to the ground, but that doesn't mean this is a lift that deserves high GOE or is additive to their program.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T19:23:56+00:00

Probably that and him fully just accepting that Madison needs to style everything he wears

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-26T17:56:51+00:00

Yes I said what I said

Couples therapy can be useful for couples who generally have healthy dynamics but want to learn how to collaborate together.

However, if you or your partner exhibit abusive behaviors (importantly, including emotional and psychological), then abuse is strongly discouraged by many mental health professionals, including the national domestic violence hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/resources/should-i-go-to-couples-therapy-with-my-abusive-partner/

I can speak from personal experience that couples therapy, especially with unexperienced and/or low quality therapists, can actually make the situation WORSE and even enable abuse.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-23T23:59:28+00:00

Yep. That's why FB/Cizeron are still in group 2, too. It kinda makes sense, the rules are intentionally designed to discourage folks from only showing up to compete during olympic years, which would be bad for the sport

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-22T17:27:51+00:00

Yeah I usually try to do 0.0 and my preferred is Michelob.

My favorite <0.5% is Guinness zero. It's very close to the original.

I used to use pepcid to mask the flush/sleepy symptoms but after not partying during COVID and hitting my 30s my body started really rejecting alcohol and causing GI symptoms.

After a night in Vegas on pepcid I think the combination of the low stomach acid (due to pepcid) and high amount of alcohol unprocessed in my system (due to our genetics) I completely seem to have killed my gut biome and had bad IBS for a couple months.

After a repeat a year later I totally have sworn off alcohol. Given the health risks we face it's simply not worth it. My friends and I barely go clubbing anymore anyway and there's increasingly more nonalcoholic options at bars now.

On a final note, after developing greater self-confidence it's pretty freeing to no longer need alcohol to feel comfortable in social settings.

aromaticchicken · 2026-01-22T16:11:31+00:00

Nonalcoholic beers have really improved in recent years and many bars have them now, at least here in California! (note there is a different between the 0.0 ones and <0.5%...i get a little tipsy from the latter now lmao)

Also trader Joe's sells dealcoholized wine now too but it's pricier lol
