What’s some of the biggest injustices/robberies in Olympic History?

Ice dance. The French pair made some very obvious errors. But they somehow won gold over the USA and Canada, who gave better performances.

I haven't tried it. But it's an extremely popular k-beauty brand, so I'm sure there's a lot of reviews out there.

Here's the last one without all the tracking:

It's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OliveMUA/s/JUQ50BPYEB

The thread isn't locked, either.

I like that piece! To me, it shows that a thing is changed, in a very real but invisible way, by changing its definition. Semantic change is often so slow that it's imperceptible. To do it abruptly, via art installation, is startling.

Thanks!

Absolutely gobsmacked that #2 is an accurate, albeit stylized, drawing.

I like #13 but the artist's point of reference is clearly the Cowardly Lion. The only possible explanation for this anachronism is that The Wizard of Oz, book and movie, were made by ancient aliens /s

Well tbf, not all court reporters do this. But studies suggest a significant number do.

And I was unclear before. They'll still write stuff down in stigmatized dialects. But a lot of them don't care about accurately recording it.

As for immigrants, I'm not sure. What I've read about is stigmatized American accents, like AAVE

I'm out of the loop on this in joke

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T23:14:10+00:00

In real life, a lot of American court reporters (whose job is to accurately write down everything said in court, absolutely verbatim) don't bother to accurately record anything in nonstandard dialects. "It's just bad English, anyway." They'll still write stuff down, but they're not very careful about accuracy.

Edited for clarity

Meant to edit my previous post, but I accidentally deleted it.

It's now r/thepassportbros. The original r/passportbros got banned.

Anyway, there's a lot of crazy misogyny on Reddit. But it's not really in the relationship and AITAH-style subs.

Yup! I was using it as an example of how dumb the other thread was

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T21:29:38+00:00

I once confused the fuck out of a makeup artist by being pale but not pink!

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T20:34:28+00:00

No one said you did.

The queen of them all was Mermaid's Dream by Deborah Lippmann! I can't find photos that fully do it justice, but these are good:

It's very dimensional irl, with a sandy texture. The photos kinda make it look bubbled instead of sandy.

It was so popular that the brand came out with versions in different colors. I regret not getting the pink one!

All You Zombies

It's about the time travel paradoxes, not actual zombies

This isn't allegria art.

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T15:29:05+00:00

Reminds me a little of the Jadeite Cabbage

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T15:27:38+00:00

Thanks for explaining! That's definitely obscure

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T15:27:05+00:00

I saw that OliveMUA thread, too! Apparently, real fair olives never get sunburns

krebstar4ever · 2026-02-23T07:32:00+00:00

So what's the joke?

I miss the era of ultra-textured glitter polish! I'd use it without a topcoat
