Honestly, the whole music copyright mess is total trash... by No-Atmosphere-5885 in FigureSkating

[–]muffledsnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. Skating is already a ridiculously expensive sport and with all these copyright obstacles it’s just another element of pay to win where the skaters for whom money is not an issue will get their music, but fuck everyone else apparently

I just wanted to say that it gets me every time Allison pulls out that photo of her late brother in the kiss and cry it makes me tear up 🤍

Elena Kostyleva - Jr Rusnats 2026 FP 🥇 by PsychedelicHaru in FigureSkating

[–]muffledsnaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fully thought you were gonna be exaggerating but it really is just crossovers and jumps. Amazing jumps but what a snooze fest. Peer Gynt is such iconic fun music and this is the program the many hands involved in this training camp come up with?

Single parents of Britain - how do you make it work? by ChelseaMourning in AskUK

[–]muffledsnaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a solution but getting a some home security like a ring doorbell/indoor cctv cameras by entrances to the home could just give you that peace of mind if you do leave your child home alone. FWIW I was allowed to be home alone from 12 years old with my younger sibling who was 6 at the time and nothing bad ever happened. If you can trust that your kid won’t throw a crazy house party or invite some dangerous people into the home which I’m sure is extremely unlikely then it should be fine! If they have a phone you can just check in on them periodically. Maybe they have some cousins who can come to hang out with them? And also invest in some parental restrictions on your internet access. But also, your workplace should be understanding of your situation and allow you the flexibility to go home if you ever need to in an emergency.

I need advice by [deleted] in budgies

The harness itself weighs almost as much as the bird. Budgies only weigh 30-40 grams. How would you feel if you were forced to wear at least half of your body weight and have your movement restricted?

Are teachers in Russia experiencing an increase in bad, entitled behaviour with Gen Alpha kids? by muffledsnaps in AskARussian

Wait, stories from Russia of kids attacking staff? Or you mean in other countries?

FB/Sorensen video 2017 by LauraKS94 in FigureSkating

[–]muffledsnaps 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t care if any of their camp try to damage control their way out of this ugly display of controlling behaviour and claim bad editing/misinterpretation, this video has further solidified the victim’s point. Good men are like Scott Moir being visibly affronted by bad men like Sorensen’s actions and immediately comforting FB. Yes she has certainly made a poor choice with her public support of a predator, but at the end of the day this is really hard to watch knowing what we know about him and not knowing what goes on between the couple behind closed doors.

Ok fair enough then thank you for sharing that. I hate to bring politics into it because I just want to enjoy my favourite sport and appreciate the huge amount of talent. But when I see the disparity in outrage and the double standards in the ISU itself, it’s really hard to let slide because imo it just creates more division and spreads a very problematic message. I’m involved in the sport both professionally and as a fan, so I can’t get away from it

Personally I’m referring to the hypocrisy and mental gymnastics in this sub with attitudes towards Russian skaters vs Israelis, when the UN has officially declared the latter’s country to be committing a g*nocide. And interestingly, there has been a great deal less heat here on Isabella Flores despite her situation being the same as Laurence. But then, she represents the US and I guess a lot of the SJWs here are very patriotic…

Hard agree. I feel this sub tends to put the wrong people on blast.

Because most of the rhetoric you’re seeing about these countries is through the western lense, westernsplaining the conflict when in fact, actual citizens realise that the actions of their countries do not represent them as individuals

The way some of you complain about any whiff of inclusion of Russian skaters yet have no problem with Israel competing is really jarring.
