"So, all her life, everyone knows she swims, she medals.
Suddenly, now she's Black. No one knew. She's a swimmer - now she's Black.
What's next, a biologist? Sure.
Nevermind the media and her crowds..."

...I think she's track and field, not swimming, but I honestly can't tell if that's part of the MAGA impersonation.

track AND field? pick one! are you track, are you field? nobody knows! i saw a photo of her literally on the field just 4 years ago. she didn't say she was track in that photo. she was on a field. now all of a sudden she became a track... person.

That's the problem with young people these days. They think they can pick and change their play surface at any time, so you don't know who's track, who's field, who's pitch, or anything.

And then they come at you with this "and". bullshit.

"I hope I get this research position, I hear competition is fierce but my advisor recommended me!"

The competition:

Double Masters, gold Olympic medal, and probably younger than me to boot.

I'm not envious, you're envious!

Excellent non-use of "jealous" 👌

Can she like chill, I'm trying to underachieve over here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bro, she makes it easier to underachieve! Like what if you accidentally get a degree or gold medal in the Olympics? Now you can look at her and still get a dose of some sweet sweet imposter syndrome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Haha I guess that's true.

Well she should, there’s no real career in being an ex-Olympic athlete unless you win a big contract or get a line of kit with your name on it. Many medals end up for sale because the athlete needs money, or because they’ve passed away and the family can’t decide what to do with it. Having a “what do I do after being an athlete?” plan is pretty important.

That's SuperHero material right there!! I hope she takes a break now and again, too.

Give the rest of us a chance to catch up.

We won’t, but the gesture would be nice.

Then shes doing cutting edge research into treating Alzheimer's and she falls into a vat of formula and shot by a ray gun to turn into...

OldTimerz! All the powers of an Olympic genius with the respected presence and not-giving-a-damn of an old woman!

Mods plz remove this post, it makes me feel insecure.
