Mostly ramblings on politics, cryptocurrency, and gymnastics.

@cloudybuzzard @rusgymfan Correct. She changed it during her comeback, if I recall. Straighter.

@damnitxtian @Pheonixmaster1 No, PM1’s English makes me genuinely afraid to call myself bilingual. Literally me to Duolingo after each PM1 video:

@Pheonixmaster1 You genuinely don’t get the credit you deserve as a leading comedic voice of the feh community. 😂 (I haven’t played enough of the installments to get all the jokes, but when I do, I chuckle hard.)

Just announced at #D23: #Incredibles3 is officially in the works at Pixar!

@LaurieHernandez And she’s a Vox Machina fan?! lol have followed your career since like your first interview (with Gymnastique, I think? throwback lol). Anyway, it was clear you were gonna be a STAR. So glad things have panned out & looking forward to the next chapter!!

Simone Biles has reclaimed her Olympic all-around title, the first woman to win two titles non-consecutively.

@DQ9RemakeWhen @3skuero Excellent points and thanks! Does make significant orb saving seem possible with discipline (though with the added temptation to summon to keep up with powercreep, as you note…it’s hard!). This game…😅

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@3skuero Or maybe it’s like 250 orbs/every two weeks. Whatever it is, it’s not enough to max out like that.

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@3skuero Serious question: how much would building a team that maxed out cost? If we only get like ~250 orbs/month, I’m assuming this person must’ve 1) paid thousands to get all those copies or 2) been saving orbs since the game launched. Not judging, genuinely curious/jealous lol.

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@Pheonixmaster1 The sad thing is his refine is basically exactly what I’d predicted—was just hoping they’d give him SOMETHING distinguishing to surprise us. Alas…

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@gymmath2 @RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson True. But also, even in 2011, I’m not sure Maroney was considered the best vaulter ever at that point? Like, she was stellar but hadn’t even won a medal yet. Her amanar was near flawless. But she hadn’t “proven” herself (whatever that means). Yet she was pushed. Warranted but…

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@gymmath2 @RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson I mean, Tim works for NBC so…and Larson I don’t think was in the same situation as Douglas, for optics/marketability purposes. Both super talented, obviously. But different.

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@gymmath2 @RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson Agree. It’s just frustrating and feels like NBC/Tim are stuck in…a different era of artistic gymnastics.

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@gymmath2 @RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson See, e.g., how Gabby’s bars at 2011 Worlds weren’t shown, despite her being a “specialist”? They showed Maroney in 2012, despite being there for only 1 event tho. Not perfectly comparable but still. The broadcast was Wieber, Raisman, Maroney (+kinda Vega).But not Douglas. 🤔

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@gymmath2 @RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson NBC is a media company that wants to pick “stars.” I just noticed who NBC never picks as the face of MAG (or WAG).

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@RissaU95 @Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson Beats me 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[Crypto Gymfan @CanonNathan]

@Sh_tRalphSays @SpannyTampson @RissaU95 NBC (and Tim) never seem to have the same enthusiasm for Yul, Donnell, Leyva, etc., no matter their success. Very frustrating but perhaps not surprising.
