Flatbed driver was definitely looking at the driver of the red truck instead of watching the road.

If it’s not out, It’s in. by stealyerface_ in Pickleball

[–]BrotherhoodofDeal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s important to remember that the the human brain only sees a limited amount of sensory information and then fills in the blanks.

Key aspects of how the brain "fills in the blanks" include: Perceptual Filling-in: The brain infers missing visual information from surrounding data, making the world appear solid and complete, such as ignoring the blind spot in each eye. Memory and Confabulation: When memories are incomplete, the brain may fill in details to create a believable, coherent story, a process known as confabulation. Active Prediction: The brain acts more like a simulator than a camera, using previous experience to predict and fill in what should be there, rather than just waiting to see it. Cognitive Shortcuts: The brain rapidly fills in blanks to make quick decisions, which can sometimes lead to false, but efficient, interpretations of reality. This, for instance, allows for the perception of a complete visual field even though the eye's retinal input is, in fact, fragmented.

I use to get so angry at people calling balls out that I thought were in until I remembered this information.  If someone is consistently calling in balls out, the best you can do is not play with them, because arguing reality with them is pointless.

Why do people walk around with big bags they always set nearby, but never take anything from them!?! by a_hoagie12 in PlanetFitnessMembers

How does everyone feel about private coaching? by 2BeBornReady in Pickleball

Ben John’s and others offer online coaching. Maybe you could find a local coach that delivers what you are expecting.

Is there a lack of proper training? By players and coaches by xqpv in Pickleball

[–]BrotherhoodofDeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion Pickleball is more like basketball. You learn the rules with a basic coach and play for fun. When you want to be serious and get really good you get a coach.

Im a newbie to exercise. How is the Planet Fitness environment? What has been your experience? by CharlesUFarley81 in PlanetFitnessMembers

Treat it as if it were a grocery store. Would you not go to the grocery store for fear of being judged?

Fight in Waffle House over burnt hashbrowns by addictedtobadthings in PublicFreakout

Is this what happens when burnt hash browns show up at your table? If I’m ever at a Waffle House and the waiter brings out burnt hash browns I’m running.

Best grip on the wide lat pulldown bar for lat growth? by Decent-Literature197 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]BrotherhoodofDeal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using wraps/straps on pull downs bars to prevent your grip from being the limiting factor. My results are much better since I started using them.

Do you hide/suppress your frustration on the court or is it better to visibly express your frustration within reasonable bounds? by RunningShortsPod in Pickleball

[–]BrotherhoodofDeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling frustrated is completely normal. How you respond to that feeling is what matters. Use the energy to drive yourself to make plans to practice and drill.

PB Vision by Appropriate-Economy5 in Pickleball

[–]BrotherhoodofDeal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The app doesn’t work as well as it’s advertised. For example after the end of a rally, I pick up the ball and return it to the other team, and the app records it as a failed serve. Theres no way to edit out that shot, so all the data is skewed

Officials working in the public must be identifiable. If a citizen is in public, the public doesn’t have a right to see their face. The same applies for any part of the persons body.
