I just remembered that up until 5th grade, all of the sports teams I was in weren't separated by gender. I played basketball and baseball with boys. And we did just fine.
It wasn't until 6th grade when they segregated it by gender. It didn't make sense to me. I was now in softball because of baseball, because "softball is for girls" and "baseball is for boys" (which confused me bc my dad was on an adult softball team).
Now, my brother's all-male team didn't win a single game. My all-girls team won every single one.
They presented the boys' team with this HUGE trophy, and if you wanted replicas of it, they were $30 each.
My team was presented with a very small trophy. Extras were $5.
That's when I decided gender-segregated sports were bullshit.
Fun cha cha cha fact: the song was played during a break in a NHL playoff game between Dallas Stars (a team with like five finns and green jerseys) and Seattle Kraken
There's a clip of it on this Yle article, not sure if it can be viewed outside of Finland
People are having trouble comprehending what they read.
I don't even mean long essays or research papers. I just saw a poll on twitter saying that Oikawa is the best villain, and????
To call Oikawa a villain means that you haven't understood Haikyuu at all. He was never a villain, he was just an athlete. He had natural talent, but he was forced to see people younger than him achieve more. He faced a wall, and he overcame that wall. He worked God damn it. He worked hard as hell in situations where others would have given up. Oikawa was an amazing, amazing character, and even though he's not my favorite, I will not take this slander.
“mashima plays better when you’re not with him” insane thing to start off s3 with. incredible framing of the season arc, taichi being the catalyzing reason chihaya expands her world while their ongoing friendship is enables its contraction. the blood on their hands from gripping each others’ hearts too tightly. this is a love triangle anime abt a card game.
Loki : I did, father. I defeated Thor in tongue wrestling three times.
Frigga : How was it?
Thor : Wet and messy.
In King's chamber
Odin : Here I'm planning Thor's coronation and that boy can't even win a tongue fight? Did you see how he looked happy about it. He was fucking blushing. I can't.
Frigga : Aww husband, Thor looked pretty doing it and don't worry, he won't be alone. He has Loki. Have faith in your sons.
Odin complaining about his own genes and raising skills tbh
