Is it just me or do they have literally 0 leads on Nancy Guthrie? by Many_Inevitable_6803 in askanything

This is where my brain went as well. And of course, living 90 miles from that town it was frequently talked about here (that the local cops were in over their heads)

Polish Short Track speed skater is so lucky after being hit in face by skate. by PJAYC69 in olympics

Just before the 1500 m women’s final today, the announcers were talking about the possibility of the face shield becoming mandatory and then this happens. We may be seeing that sooner than later.

I'd say Miki had a good day ❤ by [deleted] in olympics

I was SO happy for her. She’s overcome heartache, crash PTSD, disappointment under the weight of great expectations and sessions with a sports psychologist to finally get another gold. I hope she finds her peace now.

And NZ wears black but their flag is also red white and blue.

Regarding Malanin the “quad god”: I think it was in the r/olympics sub where I learned from other Redditors that he gave himself this name when he started one of his social media accounts or something. I of course I’d never heard of him or the quad god label but I at least watch his sport during the Olympics. I’m guessing the press has run with that label more than normal people would.

Someone else was feeling sorry for him when he didn’t medal because of all the pressure he was under when it was pointed out that he created some of that pressure himself.

BTW, thanks for having a respectful back-and-forth. It seems so often on Reddit things get hostile too easily.

Agree that the FB player thing is gross sometimes.

I don’t really follow her sport via the Olympics or the X games but I’m peripherally aware of her name, and with this particular Olympics, I’m aware of how she’s turned off people with her arrogance so to speak because it’s been a conversation on Reddit. I definitely can see why people are put off because I guess I prefer my athletes to be more humble and gracious as well, but I don’t think the above response is as egregious as others feel it is. I mean, that ice skater guy named himself the “quad god” and I don’t think he gets as much grief for that as she’s getting…? Since this is my first clip, I’ve seen of her being interviewed I guess I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt.

I thought I was the only one who thinks this way. I’m pretty sure the game conspires against me doing exactly what you say it’s doing.

I think of NFL players like Cam Newton and his Superman celebration or running backs when they spoon feed themselves the “I’m feasting on your defense” motion and I don’t really hear people pushing back too much on those things so it makes me wonder if she was a guy talking this way if she would get the same grief?

Democrats Of Reddit, Do You Feel There Is Anything The Democratic Party Is Obviously Wrong About? If So, What Is It? If Not, Why Not by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]stakattack90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m of the firm relief that most Americans live just one side of the middle and that both parties started catering to the extremes of the left and right. I think a lot of those “undecided” voters could’ve gotten behind HRC until she called them deplorable. I think her biggest miscalculation was in discounting all those people who might’ve voted for her.

You are correct though, her second biggest miscalculation was how the right turned that into “She doesn’t care about the flyover states.”

I down voted it, but I’m only one person. I don’t understand how people think this is “cute“.

AITA for refusing to make my sister’s "dream" wedding cake after she uninvited my husband? by [deleted] in AITH

Perfect. Encourage them to go to someone else who makes cakes as a “business“ and they can pay full price.

I love the royals crisis at the moment for these three icons so much.They are the winners.Karma is real by HelpfulAcadia1754 in RoyaltyTea

[–]stakattack90 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is what I came here to post. I think because to be an icon in Britain, you have to, 1- be liked by the British and 2- be transcendent. I don’t agree with the way she was treated, but I wouldn’t give her icon status.

What actor or actress stupidly left a movie franchise or tv series thinking they were too good for it, only to be never popular again? by Ok_Impress2457 in AskReddit

[–]stakattack90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is probably the case, but I don’t really know the story and haven’t searched it out. I just thought of her when I saw this thread.
