Reddit gems

The every-four-years fans don't get bullied enough for me.

 

[RedBirdie]

On the one hand, I want more people to be fans and not gatekeep....

on the other, is it too much to ask that they observe and learn before spouting off?!?!

I saw one that was "Explain to me how they decide who gets a medal, and is it different in men's and women's." It had strong first day on the planet energy.

At least the person who wants Suni to win the vault title has understood that it's one for divine intervention.

Worst is when people you know start getting into gymnastics and then they send you a vid thru instagram of Omelianchiks f-ing bird routine. AS IF, BETCH. So I was like, that's qualis, here's ef, with the bhs-loso after the full-in and better presentation overall. And here's two other renditions I like of this from other competitions. Plus my own tutorial on how to learn the choreo from the comfort of your couch

Facebook is also full of boomers being offended about the Drag Queens and their "mockery" of Christians by reenacting the Last Supper. When in reality, the performance was about Greek Dionysus as the God of wine and revelry.

Even when its pointed out with evidence, these folk still deny facts over their feelings.

I posted my excitement over the men's medal on Facebook last night. The comments from my friends and family were literally half and half - either "it was so exciting and I'm so happy for them!" to "I can't believe you call yourself a Christian and are watching these heathen Olympics after that blasphemous opening ceremony."

My exceedingly liberal pastor friend last night, after a few beers, when asked about the "discourse": "They're all fucking insane and give the rest of us a bad name."

Please fist bump your pastor for me. I am SO FUCKING EXHAUSTED.

See, people believe that Laurie must be an expert, because that's how NBC is presenting her. And then those people then go to reddit and facebook and twitter and just start spouting off, believing they are incredibly well informed.

 

[MaryClare]

I do get the feeling that Aly and Sam will end up as NBCs main WAG broadcasters, long term. Laurie’s role is very short term, and I do think they’ll be keen to replace her with Jordan

It’s times like these I wish we had a barfy face reaction option because

 

[Gymfan93]

That’s surely sarcastic?

 

[wishfulgoddess]

Apparently in a press conference after the competition, they joked that their team name was "fuck around and find out" and the pearl clutching on FB is hilarious. How dare they use a no-no word like that! Personally, I fucking love it.

 

[Gymfan93]

I almost wish I remembered my Facebook password. People on there are so unhinged and aggressively rude for so reason.

 

[Passion]

KJC already dubbed them the Phoenix Five.

Team "Fuck around and Find Out" doesn't make any sense. Who is fucking with them? The other teams on the floor? Were they not supposed to show up and do gymnastics or what?
