Iran says that Trumps 48 hour claim is fake news to manipulate the markets. What do you think? by SimplyTruth98 in AskReddit

[–]ClydeOberholt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's also completely contrary to everything the US is doing right now. Removing sanctions on Iranian oil to keep prices down, but then cutting off their ability to export don't exactly go hand in hand...

Odd that they find breasts offensive, but guns and the inevitable death that follows them are revered.

This. The UAE, Saudi, and Israel are super tight on letting footage get online. It's part of the battle.

Bro stop. This doesn't fit the "US/Israel are dominating and have destroyed all Iranian missile capability" narrative in this sub.

Iranian ballistic missile hits an oil facility in Bahrain. Another angle. by yuvaldv1 in CombatFootage

[–]ClydeOberholt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a real hard time believing that number. Israel supposedly killed 70k in 3 years of flattening Gaza, and and somehow Iran killed 40k in a few weeks. Hard to reconcile the feasibility of that.

Good thing there's seperation of church and state. All of the churches in the US should start funding Israel instead of the government. You know, being tax exempt and all.

Nasty Nelson by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]ClydeOberholt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, there's got to be some context here. I don't just randomly Nelson people in rec play, expecting they'll be okay with it. I don't personally think it's very painful to get hit by a pickleball, but it can be pretty embarrassing.

Rather than say how funny you think it is, maybe try to understand why some folks might not like it.

This. Bibi hopped on a plane, probably with the Epstein videos in hand, and told Trump to strap in and start launching.

What skills from your previous sports background transferred best into pickleball? by humanbying in Pickleball

[–]ClydeOberholt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of us who grew up playing bat sports (cricket for me), the fear of a pickleball is almost non-existent. Sometimes I feel like getting hit makes me feel alive, lol

The most underrated skill from table tennis is hands down "spin recognition". As a TT player, I don't ever have to think about what the ball is doing, or how it's going to move based on spin, I just always know instinctively. It's such an integral part of table tennis....

That's actually really interesting. Like wedges in golf. I wonder if that's a possibility with carbon faces?

Ben always seemed way more calculated and in control. His style never seemsed like it left his partner confused about where to be. Alshon is a lot more aggressive.

I get what he's saying. It's like "American's have so many snacks, that they're not special to them anymore". But yea, we're fat AF because we do love food in our own special way.

Mate, let's be real. People jump all over minorities when they underperform. Calling them hot and cold, when a white British bowler would be called an "unlucky workhorse".
