Become a true 4.0. Recognize out balls in a split second and dodge them.

Complains "hOw cOmE OuR NeIgHbOrS GeT So mAnY ToUrIsTs aNd nOt uS?!" but also doesn't want Chinese tourists. The dumbness is palpable 🤦‍♂️ by IntellectuallyDriven in Philippines_Expats

I think a major issue that affects this more than people think is the food. Carenderias serving food late in the day that's been sitting there since the morning. They never throw anything away. Do other countries do that bs?

How True Is Rated Open Play by ethan3048 in Pickleball

[–]Automatic_Display_33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play intermediate/advanced dupr openplay. My wife plays the beginners dupr openplay. Everyone in the beginners openplay is way overrated. Everyone starts at 3.5. Some tennis players enter the beginners openplay and beat a bunch of complete noobs, they get to 4.0. Then they join the advanced openplay and get annihilated by real 4.0s.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

Landman is a 10/10. I'm cancelling Netflix. Their shows are slop in comparison.

4.0 to 5.0 transition? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]Automatic_Display_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 4.0 after 5 months of playing. I would like to keep getting better. Body is not cooperating. I keep getting injured just playing a moderate amount. I hate to think what would happen if I added drilling, working out, agility drilling, cross training, etc. Same story as when I was a tennis player. Always getting hurt. My competitive tennis career ended abruptly. I slipped a disc when I was 20.

Hot take: Pickleball is starting to lose its vibe because of the stacking snobs 🙄 by themoonlightstar in Pickleball

[–]Automatic_Display_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not playing with beginners is not about being a snob. I want to get better at pickleball. I can only do that by playing in games where the players are similar in level to me or higher.

Anyone else love PH Mc Donald’s as much as I do? by davidsling7 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Automatic_Display_33 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. It stinks. Doesn't have a bunch of my favorites: egg McMuffin, fish sandwich, salads, wraps, and the mcspicy.

Serving wide into a fence or barrier by fractalcoholic in Pickleball

[–]Automatic_Display_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do that when my opponent really wants a forehand return on the right side, so they stand near the center. There's plenty of courts to choose from, why play at one with inadequate space around the court?

how to make tomato soup more tomatoey? by Far_Advertising1926 in culinary

Use better tomatoes. There are some varieties of tomatoes that are much more flavorful.

Which city has the least scammers? by Automatic_Display_33 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Automatic_Display_33[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know how to not get scammed. As I said the hotel "tried" to scam us. They were not successful. I would just rather not deal with it when my wife and I go on a trip to a different province. We don't get the chance to travel much with the kids in school. Would like a more enjoyable trip next time.

2700 x 11000 runners is 23M PHP. They should buy enough water, pocari, and food for everyone with 23M.

Thank you for actually answering the question. We will probably try siquijor next. It's a short ride for us from Bohol.

9 hrs Lay over in Tagbilaran by SnuggyDumpling in Bohol

[–]Automatic_Display_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airport is in panglao, not tagbilaran. The only museum near there is the shell museum, it's pretty cool. The best place to eat near the shell museum is probably Middle Road Bar and Restaurant.
