I think the American rugby player getting that try and the conversion in extra time to win the bronze medal was some serious clutch activity. Give her the MVP award for this team because she SPRINTED up that rugby pitch like her fuckin’ life depended on it. I like so many of the American rugby players so I’m so happy for them to win the bronze!

It continues to amaze me how dominant the US is in relays and team events. It's not just that we have skilled athletes; our benches are deep.

watching stargate using critical thinking is very difficult because on every episode you’re like oh. white saviorism. cringe. but the episode is interesting so you keep going

me: oh wow an ffxiv theory/meta post! i love these even when i don't agree with them. i wonder if this person will highlight an underdiscussed aspect of the setting, or reframe someone's characterization interestingly the post: "in the original japanese--" me: unsubscribed. blocked. reported. hie thee hence and never darken my door again.
#ffxiv#it's written in tokyo! we are talking about people who if they had a translation question could *walk down the hall and ask the writer*#it's not the english version's fault that you're a coward who's afraid of subtext and subtler characterization#even if it was intended as direct translation 99% of you lack the japanese fluency to appreciate any degree of nuance#and you frankly clearly can't appreciate nuance in english to begin with! so how could you know if it's conveyed correctly.#my favorite example is haurchefant. a lot of people complain about him being 'toned down' in english#which 1) he is. it's culturally necessary. if EN haurchefant talked about your sweat and offered you a 'warm bed' he'd be loathed#he'd come off as sexually aggressive towards women and as bad mlm rep. fans would DESPISE him.#different audiences have different values. he has to be written slightly differently to land in the same way he does in the original.#2) no he's really not. like sure the text of his lines gets toned down. but he's still absurdly into you. he's still a weirdo thrillseeker#there's still SHIRTLESS MEN WORKING OUT IN HIS OFFICE LOL#a lot of people complain that the english version is too aggressive or people are too mean and it's like...these are different contexts#like there's sooo many alisaie lines where people are like 'she's more of a cute tsundere in jp she's mean in english' and like.#alisaie is 100% an american tsundere in english. the localization team just knows how tsundere archetypes come off in english#which is to say straightforward tsundere shit tends to scan in english as either incredibly childish or cumbrained nonsense#and they have in turn written her with just a slightly lighter hand and more culturally intelligibly in english#she's a teenage girl who covers her sensitivity and inability to stop caring by putting on an abrasive front. that's a tsundere#alisaie is sort of an insane feat of localization. new levels of technology previously unheard of#'alisaie is like my badass wlw little sister' okay...yes. let's go with that. please ignore the ass shots in the trailers.

So we’re watching Lego Masters Australia Versus the World - four Australian teams and teams from France, Denmark, Germany and the USA.
I don’t care who wins as long as it’s not the Americans.
Actually I think the French can get fucked too

thoughts on china v usa but im sleepy so its blunter than usual
its wild that this is both teams first match considering this is one of the top matchups. like 2016 gold medalists v 2021 gold medalists. and then the players too
its fun watching haleigh washington and yuan xin yue meet as middles at the net (though i kinda want usa to throw dana retke in there to see two 6'8/203 play opposite eachother). theres two veterans on the court with zhu ting and jordan larson, we got annie drews and li ying ying as opposing letfies like this match is fun as hell.
set 1:
ill never get over watching zhu ting play...
the us doesn't feel solid yet idk what it is but theres a missing connection
china has gotten off to a strong start too but they dont feel comfortable yet. maybe its just first match cause i said same thing this morning and yesterday
the way i said "they need to put skinner in" and then they did and now shes scoring like!!! yall need some agression on offense!! also i love skinner shes so fun to watch
set 2
it must be said but wong-orantes is one of the best liberos rn like just fantastic
i need skinner to become a starter outside
yuan xin yue!!!!!!! lets gooooooo!!!
oh look whose on court SKINNER and in for cook finally what were we waiting for
usa does not have an answer for zhu ting, which is understandable but still (not that im mad lemme see her go on runs)
usa needs to feed the middle a lot to have an effective offense it seems. on the one hand both middles are amazing but on the other i need more action from the sides
last set 25-20 china now up 25-18 like us what are we doing...
i hope we see a point breakdown cause it feels like washington and ogbogu carrying...
AND THATS WHY ZHU TING IS A LEGEND
(that clip of china in rio... yuan xin yue is so cute omg)
set 3
ok commentators pissin me off but theyre right saying the us going with receivers is biting them in the ass cause they not receiving and they not scoring so now youre down 2-0. this strategy just wont work against a team as efficient as china lets be real. maybe if this was turkiye or poland...
skinner and plumber starting and doing well.... mixed feelings cause on the one hand i wanted this change but on the other i was going on and on this morning during ned v tur about veteran players and i guess i was wrong sljflakjf
yuan xin yue and then washington again like this is a middles match what did i say!!
skinner being 6'1 but looking so small and cute like this is my baby monster
li ying ying was quiet in set 2 i feel lets bring some fire!!
drews put your hair back in a bun and get to work lets gooooo
usa/nbc/peacock whoever the fuck is fucking up this coverage o im missing whats happening SHOW THE FUCKING MATCH YOU ANNOYING ASS BITCH ASS SET OF ASOLUTE MOUTHS OMGGGG GET THEYRE FUCKASS INSTA POSTS OFF MY SCREEN YOUR COMMENTARY IS SHIT YOUR GRAPHICS ARE SHIT BAR WAS ON THE FLOOR AND YOURE STILL FUMBLING AT THIS POINT JUST SHUT UP AND KEEP THE CAMERA PLANTED
zhu ting with the almost footsave skdjfakjf
ANNIE DREWS IS AWAKE LETS GO
skinner better call her club team and ask for a raise cause shes coming in clutch in her debut olympic match
24-16 usa its almost like yall needed a good offense in order to score
plumber and skinner saved the set like they got everyone else fired up too
set 4
the anouncers talking about which college this players played on. she is thirty talk about the club that pays her like damn. i know this is probable for americans but still
usa still tipping when its not worked the whole game.... like the block is just too high youre doing really well with full swings go with them. and i remember the coach yelling this during vnl to stop tipping... i wonder whats happening here
it feels so good watching skinner play so well and score so much after spending the first 2 sets begging them to make her a starter
china where is your efficiency from set 2 lets get that back!!!
usa fans chanting usa... top 10 most annoying things to happen during a match dont make me boo you
gong xi yu getting that angle is impressive the set was very tight
and see whats scoring? combinations and full swings lets stick to this!!!
annie drews is awake awake she said let me make up for set 1
wheels come off for china a bit... where are the receives from earlier
what is it with setters and lying about block touches aslfjakj
i really like the way poulter is running the offense this set
set 5
chinas pins have been strong enough im surprised were not seeing more of li ying ying
you cannot give yuan x. y. an overpass shes gonna make you eat it each time!!
some defensive breakdowns for china.... lets settle down yall
gong coming to the party now too lets go service- welp
AHHHH THE STUFF BLOCK?!??!!?!?!? LI YING YING!!!!
aces for washington!!!!
li ying ying lookin like mvp of set 5 the angles are wild
wang yuan yuan you've been quiet but you aint asleep lets goooo
larson as a serve sub? inch resting lets see oh shit it worked
AND CHINA BEATS DEFENDING GOLD MEDALISTS
that was indeed a fun match ahhhhh im so happy were getting vball again
