Are you just going around, commenting "not a meme"?
Also, people didn't believe me, but I knew that CPR worked.

Not a meme.

If anyone can tell me why I can't post images anywhere on lemmy, I'd appreciate it.

Do you mean you want to insert an inline image? To do that you need to use markdown embed, like so:

![optional image title](https://image.url.jpg)

Exclamation point makes the image appear inline, instead of as a link.

That didn't work with the above edit.

Problem is any image I paste or upload gives me; "Problem uploading image. Please try again."

"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.

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.

RememberTheApollo_ 21 points 2 years ago

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.

Worth a double take for sure. I think it has more to do with the transition from young adulthood to being a grown woman, with access to one of the best athletic training programs in the world, and probably an image/style consultant with an eye towards parlaying the Olympics participation into a lucrative career.

I mean Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, but if you're dropping into a half pipe you're probably more likely to be listening to Smash than to his dissertation on tape...

Different contexts. She can run like stink (as in, fastest in the world), and I don't see how that takes away from her academic achievements.
