TeamGym Puns

Hi everyone. For ages now I've been keeping an eye on Gymnastics Australia's TeamGym program, and now the manual is out for free I started looking at local clubs. I can't find a single club that is even talking about it!?

Does anyone know of a gym in the Newcastle (NSW, Aus) area intending to pick it up at any point in the future? Or a similar semi-competitive program for 20-something retired WAG competitors?

My (15M) school has recently restarted all of the sport programs after almost a year of no/limited activity. Before that I was part of the swim team, one of the smaller groups at our school. I love swimming and it really sucked that we couldn't go for such a long time.

With the restart, the school also made a new system. Every student writes down 3 different afterschool activities in order of interest (so 1. choice is your favorite, 2. your second favorite and so on). The teachers in charge of the groups then pick the students. First pick is students who already belonged to the groups before lookdown, second pick is then random and third pick is if there are still places left open in the group.

Since I was part of the swim team before and put it down as my first choice I would basically be guaranteed to get in. But now the results are out and I was placed in wrestling! I never even put that on my list at all, so I went to the teacher and asked whats going on. Turns out the teacher in charge of wrestling specifically requested me for whatever reason...

Turns out my dad knows the wrestling teacher quite well and asked for me to be placed on the team. I know my dad hates that I prefer swimming, he always says its not a real sport and that I should do some sport that actually gives me muscles. He constantly tells me I'm too skinny for a guy and has made several attempts to make me go to the gym to work out.

I asked the teachers if I can still switch teams but they say no. I also can not just avoid the wrestling club because afterschool activities are mandatory.

So last night I had a huge fight with my dad, I called him an ass for forcing me to go to wrestling and that I will just forfeit every single match I have to attend. He threatend me, saying if I do that he will take away all my electronics and I will only be allowed to leave the house for school and nothing else.

My mom says I should have the right to choose whatever sport I want, but now that I'm on the wrestling team I should still do my best. Also not to call my dad an ass...

But I don't want to participate in something I have zero interest in, was forced into even! Also I was really looking forward to swimming again and meeting my team mates...

EDIT: Thanks so far for the support. Next week I will talk to more teachers, guidance teacher and also write to the principal. Guess I will also try to talk with my mom again and maybe convince her (also will mention what some people wrote that wres

So my daughter(10F) is a very gifted cheerleader. She can do skills meant for much older girls. She's a flyer at our local cheer/gymnastics gym. She also have a very severe medical condition. I've told her coach that if she gets sick or faints during practice she has to call me.

Her coach has the mindset that kids getting sick or passing out just means they've worked hard and isn't a big deal. I disagree but I thought she understood that it isn't the same for my daughter. Also they have a big meet coming up and my daughter is the main flyer in all the stunts and does a lot of things none of the other kids can do.

Well last week she worked really hard at practice and threw up. Rather then calling me her coach just told her to get some water and come back. She told me what happened when I picked her up and I was mad. I immediately took her to the local children's hospital and luckily she was fine. I called her coach who basically told me she has a lot of kids and can't cater to all their individual needs and that my daughter didn't seem sick so it wasn't a big deal.

I was really upset that she didn't care at all. I might have forgiven her if it was just a mistake and she forgot but this could've put my daughter in real danger and the coach didn't show any signs of remorse for her actions or willingness to call me next time. So I spoke with my daughter and we decided to try and see if there were any other cheer teams in the area. She isn't close with a lot of the girls there as most are older than her so she didn't mind moving gyms.

There was a team looking for a flyer so she tried out and made it. I called the coach and said she quit the team. Her coach flipped out and said they needed her for the meet. I basically said she should've thought about that before she decided not to call me. She told me all about how she would have to change most the routine because the other girls couldn't do as much as my daughter. She says this is basically an automatic lose because they have barely any time to prepare. I again said I didn't care.

I told the situation to my sister and she thinks I'm partly TA for pulling her out a week and a half before the competition. She thinks we should've just waited until the competition was over before leaving. But the week before the competition they have practice everyday for 6 hours and I didn't feel that after what happened I could trust the coach with my daughter and I am not able to stay in the lobby the entire time. I feel b

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

As someone whose been passionately following the US women's gymnastics team for the past nine years, I am appalled by the idea of someone such as MyKayla Skinner representing the United States at the Olympics. Besides the fact that her execution will be HAMMERED by the international judges, the way she conducts herself online and outside of gymnastics is an embarrassment to our country.

As an asian-american and person of color, the comments MyKayla made after the 2016 Olympic trials was hurtful to the spirit of the Olympics. Retweeting images of her face photoshopped over Gabby Douglas (our very first African-American all-around champion) and racist emojis, MyKayla has proved time and time again that she is very much in no simpler words - a racist. She also retweeted a tweet that contained negativity towards Gabby and several monkey emojis - leaving no room for interpretation on what she thought of an incredibly talented African-American gymnast making the team over her. Besides this, MyKayla has also tweeted the n-word HERSELF. Never apologizing for her own words, she only took this tweet down when her university (Utah) forced her to. On a team that will very likely include Simone, Suni, and Jordan, having someone with a racist past not only diminishes the accomplishments of the incredible three women of color, but also sends a message to young gymnasts that it doesn't matter how you behave outside of the gym, as long as you are able to score highly enough. Here is proof of her tweeting the n-word: https://jordynslefteyebrow.tumblr.com/post/147332997469/do-you-have-proof-of-mykayla-skinner-saying-the

Besides this, MyKayla and her husband have shown their incredible selfishness in the COVID-19 pandemic. Going out, partying, living their life as normal, MyKayla has showcased how little she cares for the millions of people who not only suffered from the physical and financial consequences of the pandemic, but the hundreds of thousands of people who have DIED. I haven't had a normal school year for nearly two years now - because of selfish people like her. My grandfather passed away from COVID-19 in December and I wasn't able to attend his funeral because of flight restrictions. Because of people like MyKayla, the chance to say goodbye to a beloved family member was ripped away from me. While she was out partying and having fun, I sat on a Zoom call fo

Okay, this is going to sound a little insane.

So i was checking the gym at home just now when I saw it was under attack. 6 blue tanks, so that gave me just enough time to rush out if i don't waste berries on delaying it. I was legit expecting a spoofer like the other times I also rushed out when i saw it getting attacked, but if not, then i could at least immediately take it back. I promise you I'm not a stalker, I just want my daily coins.

Nope. Ran into a guy with six phones! So I was like "hey, you playing pokemon go?" And he's like "yeah!" and i'm half jokingly like "you're not the guy on team yellow named (name01 name02 name03) right?" And he's like "yeah that's me!", we got to chatting a bit and i found out he's got 3 yellow, 2 blues, and a red on his phone. i don't know how he does it but he did a raid with all 6 characters just then. it was actually a little impressive. Especially since it was only 3 stars so he could easily have done it 2 or 3 at a time and still made it just fine; it wasn't like we were getting fisted by Mewtwo.

Yes, he was pressing on all six phones with both his hands, if you must know.

So long story short, I told him how a little girl lives down the road and she's in a wheelchair, and she's team blue and always puts in a lucario, and honestly if it's possible for him to take the other gyms with yellow, but leave this one in blue. I'm not going to tell him that the girl's there in the morning, because again, creepy af to talk about a 7 year old's schedule at the park; but generally I asked if he could just put his blue guys here if necessary, and maybe if he's gonna do a yellow, then at least don't be so aggressive about defending it.

And he's like "yeah okay, that sounds fair."

We added each other as friends and went our merry way; but i'm just glad that at least one person's (or maybe 3?) off this gym, so maybe it won't be such a huge pain in the arse to take it from the other spoofers in the morning now, and if Lucario Girl wants to take it, then that's at least one less person who will kick her out within 30 minutes.

Also, while adding him as friends, I found out his team blue accounts are the ones that I, on more than one occasion, cheered on for kicking out his yellow accounts; so there's that. I got bamboozled.

So that's it.

On the topic of benching, in reference to DIG Soligo/Yusui

Doublelift (Clip here: https://streamable.com/dw3qv8): "You don't fuck around with a roster change. It's not a permanent deal, but its something that you are committed to for at least a few weeks because that player (the player being put into the lineup) is going to need a few weeks of scrims to even look like himself. It's really unfair to sub somebody in and give them two days of scrims and one day of LCS and if they don't fucking play great it's over. It goes both ways too cause it's really unfair if you just bench somebody for one game, showing them no one trusts in them or believes in them then sub them back in expecting it all to be okay like a fucking rebound girlfriend. Just no. (Clip here: https://streamable.com/n00knh) I am glad they are sticking with Yusui and then may go back to Soligo."

Meteos: "Yeah, maybe they will hit up Soligo with a late night booty call and say, 'Hey, man, we're third set scrimming, you up?"

Doublelift (Clip here: https://streamable.com/7bt57z): "My experience with it is that TL benched me, then lost to CLG, which was a 10th place team. They (TL) lost to Janna top. Ruin played Janna top and we lost. I'm at the gym working out and I got a call from the coaches and they said, 'Yeah, we just lost to CLG. Can you be ready for scrims tomorrow? We're going to put you back in.' I was like, 'Fuck you guys. I don't want to fucking play.' Like you're literally waiting for a reason, some weird mental gymnastics, where you want to play with Tactical until you lose a game. Then you want to put me back in for the easier...I don't know. The whole relationship is fucked by then."

Added Context: In Spring 2020, Tactical had an impressive Week 6 debut on the main roster, going 2-0 against 100T and TSM. In Week 7, TL lost to Immortals and CLG. In Week 8, TL with TacticalDL beat GG. At the time of the CLG game, TL was 6-6.

TL vs CLG Week 7 Spring 2020 - CLG is 2-10 and plays Janna Top and Wins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFbg-p4FvSU&ab_channel=EpicSkillshot-LoLVODLibrary

Well, toucan play at that game.

So I was taking down the gym in my area earlier this morning; now i don't usually play around that time, but i just happened to see the gym's pokemon are all low on hearts, so I was like AHA A CHANCE, went and started fighting only to find someone else joining in. Looked around and saw a girl in a wheelchair, furiously tapping on her phone, and her mom pushing her. I was like "are you playing pokemon go, too?" and she was like, "yeah!" and got really excited. We chatted a bit and took the gym down, spun the gym and the stops around a couple times, and her mom mentioned how team yellow's always kicking her daughter out and she doesn't like this game very much because it upsets her daughter, which I get. it's not fun to spend a bunch of potions and revives to take down a gym, then get kicked out immediately. I was gonna let her have the gym if she was red, but it turns out we're both blue, so cool, I get to sit in too.

I figured I'd use a couple berries on her pokemon because why the hell not, spread some joy and love, and then realized she was the same trainer that I keep seeing in the gym! She always puts in a Lucario instead of the typical defenders like chancy, blissy, etc, so it was really memorable. The first couple times I saw it, I was like "what the fuck are you doing, put in something tankier!"; but then as time went on i was like "oh! it's the lucario again!" which, honestly, kind of was nice, even when it did nothing to defend the gym, lol. There is nobody else on mystic that does that. Turns out that's her favorite pokemon because she used to have a dog.

And I told them, yeah, there are a couple of people with multiple accounts around here (you'd know by name01, name02, name03, etc); and they always take the gym/defend it at the same time, so nobody else gets it. And I explained spoofing to her, it was like, "See the swings over there? Imagine you're in the middle of a circle standing at the gym, if you don't see anyone else playing pokemon go from here to those swings, and from here to the parking lot behind us, that means they're using a program that tricks the game and makes the game think they're here, when they're not."

Then, she asks, "isn't that cheating? It doesn't seem fair."

And you know what, Lucario girl, I agree. It isn't fair. I just didn't know how to delicately explain to a 7 year old that there are grown ass adults in our neighborhood who does thinks that taking the fun away from kids is in itself fun to them, especially

Martin Freeman, and Andy Serkis.

They also play roles in Lord of the Rings.

I guess that makes them the Tolkien white guys.

'Eye-do'

This is my first post pls don't kill me lol.

The people in the comment section is why I love this subreddit!!

Cred once again my sis wants credit lol

The autopicked teams for raids have almost always been terrible. But with bosses like Regigigas it’s much more apparent. Did around 10 raids today and in all of those only one other player (out of 6 or more total) would have the proper counters. A lot of the times it was only me. I’m talking lugia, heatran, metagross, aggron all around. Oh and focus blast regi? Tina’s and gengars..

Of course the players are to blame here most of the time as most people don’t bother to make a team. But to see level 40+ trainers with a non fighting team just irritates me. We had machop cd not to long ago. Of course some low level players don’t have access to good counters and that’s totally fine and understandable but the veteran playerbase should know better. But unfortunatly there is not much anyone can do about that. Everyone plays the game as they want. But if the autopick system was better it wouldn’t recommend heatran and metagross but a team of machamps and other fighters most players have.

Sure getting the raid done in a little more time when you have a full lobby is irrelevant but failing a raid and losing a pass due to the raid group rocking a team that does double resisted damage seems flawed beyond belief.

The recommended team alghoritm needs a revamp to favor damage delt and not tankiness as raids are about how fast you can beat the boss NOT HOW LONG YOU CAN SURVIVE AGAINST IT!

This problem touches gym battles as well.

This issue is pushed to the side a lot due to bigger problems like mega energy, xl’s, lag and so on but we should stop losing speed balls and raid passes due to this stupid system.

I heard parents named their children lance a lot.

---------------------

Choco’s day had gone from bad to worse after an incident at work had escalated to violence. Fortunately for the Erinal, but unfortunately for the two aggressors, the human in charge of the security team for the Sector Umgrol Delegation had been present to handle the entire thing.

The Erinal's patience was wearing thin. "Damn it!" he said to the blue furry Langbar who sat across from him, "I've told you everything!" He slumped back in his chair and glared at Detective Lyra'Ta Ficus, who rather looked like some sort of human sports mascot. He briefly debated on mentioning this, then decided not to. "They demanded I let them inspect the contents of my briefcase, despite it having all the stupid stickers on it to proclaim that it contained diplomatic secrets. Claimed they had the right to see inside, bollocks to that I said, and then they got a bit handsy.”

The detective nodded. "Gorlan push their luck with new members. They like to let you know your place, test boundaries." One tap on the input pad before them caused a display to appear on the wall behind them. The recording of the incident began to play, but the detective paused as the Erinal was grabbed and lifted into the air, their attacker drawing back their fist and about to strike. "Even so, Gorlan are smart enough to keep their rough edges off camera. They claim they were provoked. By you, Mr. Beri.”

“Ha, provoked." The small Erinal waved a hand dismissively. "Can't take a fucking joke, eh? Oh, and don't call me Mr. Beri. Makes me sound old as fuck. I don't use my first name, so don't call me Cadd either. Everyone calls me Choco, alright?" When the detective gave a slow, slightly confused nod of agreement, he continued. "Look, they tried to act big and tough to get me to open my top secret, official case. And I told them no. Simple as.”

The detective tapped on the small tablet beside them, amending their notes to include the alternate name. “And the insinuations about their lineage, Choco? Your comments regarding their appearance? Your suggestion that they ‘mate with themselves, and the horse they rode in on’?”

The Senior Technical Advisor had been in a pretty bad mood

Japan.

second hand stores!

No idea why, but we have a group of people that will go around town taking gyms and leaving them grey. I just moved into this town recently and apparently this group is only active around Summer time for some reason?

They will hunt down people taking gyms, wait for them to leave and then knock them out and put nothing back in. Apparently one of them even lives across from a gym and lets nobody have it

These people are actually more villainous than the actual Team Rocket in the game

[Edit for clarification]

They're not new players, apparently some people in my group have them added.

They don't just knock people out that have been in long. We were in a whole minute before they started attacking us. We berried until we couldn't anymore and they still took it and left it grey

it's Hans free now..

I Thank ye kind Matey for the booty! I be truly overwhelmed! Thank you!

Holy cow! Thank you everyone for the upvotes and awards! I wasn’t expecting this!

Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.

I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.

When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."

From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"

Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.

Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
