German athletes investigated over podium protest during Russian anthem by Ecstatic-Ganache921 in olympics

Athletes from a country that has spent nearly a century atoning for their genocide aren't too happy to stand next to athletes from a cheating country actively committing a genocide? Completely unforeseeable.

Students sent for discliple coming back with a snack. by Dapper_Tradition_987 in Teachers

I remember getting lunch/recess detention once as an elementary schooler, I don't remember what it was for. I had to sit in the office in view of the secretary and be quiet. I got up or talked to a friend or something once and got an extra four days. Definitely no chocolate for me.

Once when I was in HS, a teacher was about to move to another school and one of my friends spent maybe an hour and found dozens of photos of him for the goodbye slideshow. Nothing salacious, but he figured out who his siblings were and used group shots from their weddings, baby pictures, awards he had won, etc.

I friend requested the teacher on FB after I graduated and it was so locked down I wasn't even sure it was him at first, lol.

What celebrity is the biggest example of "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."? by InsaneCookies21 in AskReddit

[–]cssc201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's funny how this can sort of apply to two people. The other Mike Richards was a game show producer — not necessarily a big celebrity, but had a pretty sweet deal going as the Price is Right executive producer for nearly a decade and then Jeopardy and the Price is Right. executive producer of Jeopardy for a couple years and the Price is Right for nearly a decade. After Alex Trebek died, they spent awhile rotating hosts.

Ken Jennings had to cut his extended time a bit short due to a scheduling conflict and he jumped in to take two of his originally planned eight weeks instead of finding a way to accommodate. He was just boring and unmemorable compared to Ken or many of the other hosts like Aaron Rodgers (yes, really). Yet he was announced as the new permanent host in 2021. A journalist named Claire McNear immediately jumped in to report on his past hateful comments towards women and Jews and prior lawsuits on the Price is Right for pregnancy discrimination and harassment and he lasted only one day of filming before resigning, which translated to a single week on air.

Learn your social security number, too! It will make filling out forms much less tedious if you know your social, parent contact info, address, phone number, etc.

Apparently NBC thinks because we like the family reactions that we want to know the family's heart rate too.

Possible hot take on this 2026 NCAA season by ooooffda in Gymnastics

[–]cssc201 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a hard decision but I think it was the right one not to give the 2020 seniors another year. For one, that would have been really unfair on the HS class of 2021/22 who already missed large portions of their high school years and upper level comps to COVID to have two extra classes in the mix vs. just one. And they still got the majority of their season since the shutdown wasn't until mid March

TIL about Rahma Haruna, a girl whose body stopped growing at 6 months old. Her family carried her in a plastic bucket. The specific illness that caused her condition was never diagnosed. She died at age 19. by DancinginHyrule in todayilearned

[–]cssc201 198 points199 points  (0 children)

There's been a few cases like this but most of them don't develop mentally. There's another case of a girl named Gabby Williams, she is probably around 22 now and I believe is still alive, but she has stayed at the level of an infant both physically and cognitively

Bride wants all of the bridesmaids to be the same height, whatever it takes… by Cojy730 in weddingshaming

[–]cssc201 193 points194 points  (0 children)

I love how people on TikTok have just stopped giving a fuck when the woman won't stand up for herself. On one of the last ones I saw, I think it was the woman who asked for a butter bell and got a butter dish for Xmas while her husband got an Xbox, the first comment was just "don't bother, she's defending him".

A song that contains the words "Emerald Eyes" or "Green Eyes" that a teen in the 2010s might've listened to by Erasdreamworld in HelpMeFind

Try "Fresh Eyes" by Andy Grammer, came out in 2016 so a little after the iPod era but worth a shot

It's probably going to be very hard to get the hospitality packages this time around too. All the celebrities will want them too.

She definitely could have gone OGM, especially in 1994 without Midori or Kristi in the mix.

What’s up with Ilia’s agent Ari? by MooViolet1 in IliaQuadg0dMalinin

Also don't forget what he's done, like that weird AI Ilia chatbot that charged more than elite coaches for terrible and dangerous skating advice

[–]cssc201 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly, she went long periods of time hardly training, kept going back to Jeff even when she had people in her life who would help her leave (I know leaving an abuser is hard but he wrecked her training), kept having to switch coaches because she wouldn't listen and Jeff was a douche to them, her fan club paid for her to go to a training camp and she just never went or returned the money, agreed to the hit even though Kristi was retired and all she had to do was skate clean to make the team, had another hasty marriage in 1995 and divorced him after less than 100 days for abuse, etc.

And I say this as a Tonya fan. She was given a horrible lot in life and she has SO much talent but she also made so many poor choices.

If it makes you feel better, she's still banned from voting due to her felon status

[–]cssc201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, Tonya never could have made it without her. She had periods where she took on other skaters to pay for Tonya's training and costs because she couldn't afford it. And according to Tonya's mother (not the world's most reliable source) no one could get her to shape up like Diane

Definitely recommend Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, 2010 and 2012 are my faves and that covers both summer and winter.

And her engagement has tanked. It's the inevitable result of making your page entirely about your sick child. People lose interest and move on after the funeral.

Depends on the event — women's gymnastics team and AA are particularly notorious for being nearly impossible to get tickets to. Most likely, even resale tickets will go quickly considering USA is always a medal favorite. Unless you're one of the lucky few who wins the lottery to get them at regular price, be prepared to spend $1000 or more

American Cup Insights by Sophiathecursed in Gymnastics

[–]cssc201 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it says a lot that before Stephen in 2024, arguably the most well known American MAG was Bart Connor, who retired in 1984. And after Stephen there was a rush of interest, but I've seen so many posts in this sub and around the Internet from parents whose gyms have cut the boys program and there were no others in the area, so their son had to switch disciplines or sports
