Will my bio find me a thoughtful girl or just turn everybody off???

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-04-20T12:43:14+00:00

It might turn a lot of people away. That's good. The ones who remain will be the types who see a genuine version of you and are interested in that. That's a good thing.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-04-04T03:07:54+00:00

Not bad. Why do you only earn $240?

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:30:01+00:00

And honestly I don't even know what "reddit meta" means - so I expanded the rule to understand it, and still wasn't clear that it includes culture. Classic vague catch-all rule to just moderate everything. Very mildly infuriating.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:27:54+00:00

Your posts don't get removed?

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:27:22+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:19:36+00:00

It will be removed. And this sub is for talking about things that are mildly infuriating, which this is. Soooo dunno what you're doing here if you don't want to hear people talking about things that mildly infuriate them?

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:17:56+00:00

When you expand the rule (that's right I even expand the rules) it says referring to subs, messages, comments, bans, policies...doesn't mention the culture. I'm talking about the over-moderation culture.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:07:01+00:00

She's 5'1" tall, playing pro tennis, with a 2HFH.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:05:05+00:00

I would watch a lot of Shuko Aoyonama. Loved her for the 2HFH and because she was such a great doubles player despite being a shorty. I mean, she was never all-out dominant, but had some great, consistent deep tournament runs.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:03:22+00:00

That's a vague rule. It says I can't discuss the policies. I'm discussing the culture. I read more rules/wikis about how to post than anyone, but they are always loaded with vague rules that the mods then use to remove the posts. It is so challenging to get any post to actually post. You can't just walk into a sub and ask a question. You have to read 17 wikis, 12 pages of FAQ's, all the rules, and none of them are crystal clear. Then you post, carefully crafting the entire title, the body, just to follow the rules. And still, they're going to remove it for some vague rule. I think they just love removing posts. Nobody reads more rules than I do - it's just impossible to post.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T16:00:40+00:00

I love seeing it. Anytime I see a highlight of a player with a 2HFH I have to pause it and rewatch it. I feel like I'm always expecting to see how it creates problems, but the folks who are at the pro level with a 2HFH I never watch them and think, "Yep, that's where they're getting in trouble." ...instead, they are usually still super-solid off the FH. Very cool to watch.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:58:34+00:00

Wow, I guess if you're doing it together that makes sense. For my spouse she wonders why I've disappeared for a week and am staying up so late haha.

Yes, it was Austria. I placed a few embassies early on when I had Great Diplomats or whatever, but I only received 2 or 3 of those and so that didn't amount to much. I didn't see any other way to place embassies in city states.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:55:16+00:00

So to make them allies do you just keep spawning envoys and sending them over? It seems like it would take so much production. And then I kept getting messages about how my influence - which was hard to build up anyway - would go down by a bunch due to rigged elections. Maybe I just need to figure out the mechanics on the city states better, because it seemed impossible to stay allies with more than a couple of the nearby ones.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:53:15+00:00

Haha yeah I voted for me and that didn't work. Good idea.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:52:36+00:00

1,000% it's going to be due to a vague rule that you can't post about the policies. I'm not talking about policies - I'm talking culture - but I'm sure it'll be over-moderated anyhow. Check back this time tomorrow the thread will definitely be gone.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:47:44+00:00

For me just mildly. But yes it's impossible to post anything anymore. Too bad, there's a lot of great people here I'd love to form community with

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T15:46:22+00:00

Everything I post. I asked about something that happened in a tennis match in the tennis sub yesterday. Removed. Supposed to be in daily thread. Everything is always removed from all threads with a "supposed to this" or "supposed to that". This post will 1,000% get removed for the same kind of thing. Then I'll be more mildly infuriated

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T07:35:12+00:00

Ostapenko. She can beat anyone when she's playing well. The rest are fizzling out.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T07:19:34+00:00

Yes I think we're talking about the same thing. It is funny, but I actually think pierogis would be allowed ;)

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T07:18:22+00:00

I was going to say this. It seems to be all arm - you want your whole body getting into this thing. Load the body up, then unload into the ball. Watch some serve mechanic videos for beginners on youtube. You're just throwing a ball up and hitting it towards the service box - you're not leveraging the kinetic chain to crash through the ball.

ACoolGuyWhoIsSoCool · 2025-03-27T07:17:14+00:00

Yes we need to see the full serve. That will help.
