I’ve never had waffles.
They’re a bit like crunchy pancakes or french toast. If you don’t like sweets I can see why you haven’t tried, but maybe you could enjoy one without sweet toppings.
I’ve also never had French toast.
I laughed
Edit: wait this isn’t a gif.
you know what it is from, right? “SEAGULLS! (Stop It Now)” – A Bad Lip Reading of The Empire Strikes Back
Buttermilk with blueberries
Buttermilk pancakes (soak oats in buttermilk overnight) are the BEST.
Yes, but not to the amount of a cooking competition, where the result is determined by the judges’ personal tastes. In dancing or figure skating, there is usually a bigger emphasize on technique.
The only solution is to have the competitors make a dessert while skating.

I am a mob of 1. And i have a mentality.
Posting that article went well.
Gee golly. I thought she had some great points to consider about how we treat gender in sport.
But instead we have several pages of that’s not a sport because it isn’t!!!
well it is the truth. Whenever these things happen, the cops are automatically presumed to be in the wrong.
That’s why they are all in jail, gotcha.
I wonder if there are some sports where women are actually objectively better than men. For instance, certain judged aspects of figure skating and gymnastics?
There are two olympic sports that are gender neutral - equestrian and curling. The latter doesn’t surprise me, but the former does - it requires a lot of strength and athleticism.
In my favorite sport of table tennis, it is no contest - the top woman in the world couldn’t break the top 100 in the men’s ranking, and that has been true since the beginning.
It is interesting to think about. What I think about is, are the ways that we judge things favoring masculinity? Most of sport is traditionally a measure of the fast and strong. But there are other things that we could be measuring, but don’t.
Our roots are predominantly patriarchal and masculine, so of course we prize that first and foremost. But it certainly is not the only measure of skill. Just like an IQ test doesn’t tell us everything.
It would be interesting to see if any of the matriarchal societies have athletic competitions, and how they judge them.
Just a notice that the spoiler policy on TLJ will be lifted on Feb. 15th at 12:00 AM Pacific time. If you haven’t seen the movie by then…
Why did you put that in a spoilers thread? Everyone here has seen it otherwise they wouldn’t be here. 😉
Because we’re the ones capable of spoiling it for others.
Please don’t remind me of that day.
What about me reminds you of Valentine’s Day?
Sorry, I’ve a valentine already.
Maybe next year.
LoL
Strawberry-rhubarb pie is the best pie.
Strawberry rhubarb anything is the best. So of course I agree with you.

I’m so wizard, dahmi.
Do not want
DJ pops up as the boy stares at the stars while the Force theme swells, to close out the film with a, “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!”
LOL! I like this idea! : )
Maybe he pops out of the kid’s ring? Complete with looney toons music
That’s a good idea to. And Frink will be a wizard at this stuff by the time he’s working on it

“most males are taller and stronger than females”
WARB, STOP
we know. this is why people say missing the point.
How about no one until we have proof?
You’ve missed the point.
which is?
It’s like the two doors puzzle, where one door always tells the truth, and the other door always tells lies. Except both doors always tell lies.
😄
I liked it better than the original… *shrug*
Also I thought the acting/production values elevated it above other average Netflix sci-fi fare… *shrug*I guess I will remain in my corner as the movie’s only fan.
The divorce papers will arrive shortly.
FINE.
I assume this means you’ll be signing them this time.
All inquires should be forwarded to my attorney at this time.
My inbox is open.
what did you think about this part of the article though?
Caldwell’s teammate, Mac Bohonnon, says the scoring scale is one factor dissuading women from doing triples. At the elite level, men have to do triples to be competitive. But, Bohonnon says, triples aren’t scored with a high enough degree of difficulty to make them worth the risk for women.
“It’s a more dangerous jump, it’s a more challenging jump, it’s a scarier jump,” he says, “and I think there’s no reward for women doing triples. In my eyes, they’re almost punished. They’re getting beat by easy doubles.”
The logic goes, if you can reach the podium more securely with a less challenging jump, why not just stick to a double?
There is something to that, no? If you tell the female athletes to only attempt to achieve a certain level, but tell the male athletes to attempt to achieve a higher level, that plays a part in the eventual level they achieve.
I think the end goal should be that both genders are pushed just as far, and challenged to the ability of the person, not to their genders abilities.
I agree maybe the points should be higher for triples (I say that without knowing anything about the point system).
I have no problem with the scoring being the same for males and females. I have no problem with pushing both males and females to be the best they can possibly be.
Then I’m not sure exactly what your problem is.
She talks about about gender equality in the one area where the genders are not equal. She says boys aren’t the standard, when the are. I know it is not pc, but it is the truth.
from a certain point of view.
It is the truth, but it also isn’t.
I challenge you to consider why saying that boys are the standard is sexist.
I want to bitch about my English class and my teacher - I don’t hate the subject but she in 2 weeks made me hate it. I don’t mind doing homework nor do I think it’s a pain or anything negative, but I dislike her to the point where I refuse to do her homework. I’m the one being negatively impacted by not doing my homework but I refuse. I guess it’s the actual teenager in me. I’m glad that in less than 4 months it’ll all be over. God I hate her.
Good teachers can help us excel in subjects, Bad teachers can help us fail in subjects. Of course the student should bear some responsibility (as you recognize), but you can’t avoid the fact that the quality of the teacher will make a difference.
I had a terrible math teacher junior or senior year of highschool, and I still believe that it was a turning point for me not caring about the subject.
So i get the bitching. I guess try to find a way to make it work.
How about no one until we have proof?
but then i wouldn’t have to believe them. or do we have to believe facts now for them to be true. /sarcasm
I post here because it is Olympics, but it also has very interesting gender equality content. Quite worth reading.
I am glad she succeeded in doing her trick. I wish nothing but the best for her. I agree maybe the points should be higher for triples (I say that without knowing anything about the point system). But
I think every time I said that I wanted to ‘jump like the boys’ I was reaffirming that boys are the standard. I don’t think that helps gender equality.
I think this is wrong. Call me sexist all you want. But males on the average physically stronger and bigger than females. She said of her trick “Only two girls have ever done it, and I’m the only one who’s ever landed it, so it’s a bold move.” What she left out is how many males have done it and landed. I willing to bet a lot more. I’m sorry but boys are the standard when it comes to sports. There is a reason why they compete separately in the Olympics. If they competed against each other it would be extremely rare for a female to win gold in any sport. When a female figure skater lands a triple axel it is a big deal, it is just ordinary when a male figure skater does it. I remember looking at the times for the 100 yard dash in the Olympics a few years back. I compared the times for the female runners to the male runners. I remember that female Gold medalist wouldn’t have gotten near the podium if she ran that same time against the males. There more differences between males and females than what is between their legs. Sorry, it not pc, but it is truth.
Oh if you want to talk about Gender equality, what about the males whom are just as good as the female Olympians but can’t get anywhere near the Olympics because they have to compete in the male category. I am willing to bet there are male athletes that have done the same trick Ashley Caldwell did but didn’t make the Olympics because they were males.
what did you think about this part of the article though?
