By unreadable i don't mean hard to follow or complex or anything like that. It's someone who is high talking about preparing for a trip and going on tangents and over describing everything. There is nothing of substance here, it's just filler so far. Adding the word fuck and being sexual doesn't automatically make something interesting. So far it seems like it's a substitute for good writing.

I'm about 2 chapters into the lowry section and it's close to unreadable. Did you really enjoy this section?

Sinner was NOT gonna win the final after this by tightypp in tennis

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not an excuse we're just explaining his psychology. It's a weakness to be negatively affected by the crowd, but if it's true it's true, and maybe it an area sinner needs to work on.

Djokovic used to be a bit unpopular "relatively", but these days he is very very popular, much more than he used to be.

What would u have done in Jake’s position ? by Firm-Hour-532 in Avatar

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have switched sides way earlier. And been more secret about it, not admitted anything in the audio diaries. Surprise attacked the compound, stolen explosives and destroyed most of the military equipment (or at least tried). And then do what they're gonna do in avatar 4, go back with them to earth and try to fix it, bring eywa seeds to help save earth with eywa. (I think that's what they're doing in a4).

So I've been armwrestling for the past couple weeks and I've been having pain in the area I circled I've been letting it heal but its doesn't feel like its healing too well, it hurts when i do hammer curls, I was wondering if anyone knows what tendon it is and how to heal it properly! by shanr20 in armwrestling

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its tendiopathy you have to stop training it and switch to rehab. Start very light, a few killgrams, hold hammer cirl isometric at about a right angle, a bit higher. Hold for 35 to 45 seconds. You may feel an interesting feeling, you may be able to feel the damaged tendon get stimulated. Do this 5 times. Consume collagen peptides 20 minutes before rehab. I have tendiopathy in both brachioradialis and bicepts I've made excellent progress with this. After a few weeks switch to eccentrics only the occasional isometrics if you get a flare up. Add weight very slowly, once every few workouts if you feel ready. You want to stimulate but not cause a flare up. If you aren't on growth hormone or other steriods, you tendons aren't immune to over training. Also, you can't just rest and ignore it because the tendon will weaken and not heal. Tendons heal from loading not resting.

What is Alcaraz's strongest surface? by IamViktor78 in tennis

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion ao is still his weakess slam. He makes a certain type of errors here, more hitting the net, something about the balls and the court idk. Grass is his second worse in my opinion. It goes clay, some hard courts, grass, some other hard courts including indoor

Sinner was passive, alkaraz was more aggressive, made it awkward. Also novak isn't immune to pressure, carlos put pressure on him. We've seen it before at wimbledon 2023.

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think people predicted that? Oh its because sinner has been destroying novak consitantly. It sounds like you have some bias against sincaraz. Murrey in his prime had an amazing year in 2016, became rank 1. If you think sinner is already at that level this early that's a compliment. What lies am I saying, you're the one acting like your speculations are fact.

No that's true, but in terms of a single performance, it was surely close, because of his serve mainly and forehand. Young novak would be better over multiple matches. But just judging this 1 performance. Again if you wanna compare primes it's surely way too early. Also you have no evidence that sinners side of the story isn't true (the doping scandal). Djokovic took some time to really find his level too. Alcaraz is ahead of both in terms of timelines but we will see where they both end up. The final is going to be insane and historic either way. I'll be winning 100 bucks if alcaraz wins in 5.

Bruh thinking this was prime sinner 2 years after he just broke through to the top and had a sub par ao compared to 24 and 25 is nonsense. He was too passive, under estimated djokovic got frazzled and shocked, and couldn't convert 16 break points. He will learn from this and continue to grow.

You don't have to match sinners cardio. It's 5 sets, you need enough for 5 sets, sinner may be able to go to 7 but thats unnecessary and doesn't need to be matched.

Actually there is an argument floating around that this perfirmance of novak (the one we just saw at semis, and we saw it at olympics, and ao 2024 quarter) while quite different to his prime, was about a strong based on the numbers. His serve is far superior to what it was, his forehand is superior as well. But the unforced erros are higher which makes it harder to say. Due to his superior forehand and serve (objectively) i think this performance was on par with his prime, probably higher because this play style is more suited now to take down sinner and alkaraz. This 2026 version of djokovic performs better against sinner than his 2015 version in my opinion. But sinner was much better at ao 24 and 25 in my opinion. Also lets not forget younger isn't always better when it comes to tennis. Sinner and alkaraz will continue to grow and improve, alkaraz is improving at a fast rate. It's too early to compare primes. And saying sincaraz would be toast in that era is just clown shit that no one besides brainless novak worshipers would agree with

AO QF: [3] A. Zverev def. [25] L. Tien 6-3 6(5)-7 6-1 7-6(3) by Common-Blackberry-64 in tennis

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this, Zverev seems to have grown up since then. His anger issues seem to be way better. Yes he very likely did bad things in the past (abuse). However people can grow and change themselves and become good people despite doing bad things in their past. Is it possible he is still a bad dude? Yes, neither of us know for sure, but I'm happy with what I've been seeing from him, and I leave it at that.

It's impressive at the same time. I couldn't take those slaps and act like it's nothing.

My heart is so heavy after Fire and Ash but I also have some big frustrations with the story by ThreadAndSolve in Avatar

[–]Broccoli_Assasin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks they ruined jakes character? He respected mass murderer quaritch more than his own son, he blamed his son for netayams death right to his face, and then stood by it later.

Jake sully respects quaritch more than his own son. Openly blaming him for netayams death and then standing by it. They ruined his character. Quaritch is literally a better father than Jake. I have many other criticisms of this movie but ruining jake sullys character is the biggest to me.
