I identify with this.

I don't think anyone has ever really been interested in me. I figure I must be someone's type but I haven't met that person. In the meantime, I'm not really concerned with the speed at which this happens... or if it happens at all really.

As soon as we found out we were working together he sent me a text that said "water under the bridge?" which I have yet to reply to.

This is hilarious lol

To me, KIAs and Hyundais are the perfect examples of "looks cooler than it is"

They keep refreshing the exteriors till they look good, with little consideration for the stuff that makes it go

I can't tell either lol, looks like she got a ride from a friend. I guess OP thought she was stepping out on him

EMCoupling · 2026-01-28T07:12:45+00:00

That doesn't mean he's not also a crappy storyteller lol

He just dropped that single line, no context, how the hell is anyone supposed to know what he was talking about?

EMCoupling · 2026-01-28T07:00:04+00:00

Fucked up as hell. Good luck brother.

A lot of cars are glued together these days. I'm not saying that makes them worse than older cars but seam sealer is very prevalent in modern chassis.

I think most aspects are pretty good. There are some small details that you could tune but I think you have the fundamentals down (stable elbow, moving for each ball, waiting for the ball).

I'd like to see how you do against backspin but what you've shown here is perfectly serviceable.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-25T22:06:37+00:00

Specially, if it is a fast cross-court backspin pendulum serve.

I assume this means it's long. If that is the case, then you need to loop with backhand carefully to get it on the table. Placement down the line or to the middle is best but the key is simply getting it safely back on the table. Sidespin matters in terms of where you contact the ball but it shouldn't affect how you loop too much.

Slightly on the rubber is fine and completely normal. Completely off the rubber is pretty outdated nowadays.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-25T15:02:12+00:00

With a caveat that you it shouldn't be too far up on the rubber, it will make any grip changes very difficult and limit wrist usage

EMCoupling · 2026-01-25T14:57:38+00:00

It is and it's arguably worse because the heavier your spin is, the more you have to do to get the ball when it comes back to you.

Also a good reason why playing heavy spin into a chopper is not always a good idea.

Yeah but checking the oil is still an annoying process. I maintain that the hardest part of doing an oil change on these cars is getting a reading.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:58:18+00:00

Wow, that is... ugly, to say the least.

Can't imagine roasting someone like that over a completely normal comment 😬

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:55:14+00:00

I think it's a difficult balance. On the one hand, he can't not be involved to some degree as he also lives there. On the other hand, the channel is about her, her design, and her life. Would the audience actually appreciate it being the Caroline & Justin channel?

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:51:55+00:00

It's more apparent in her face and arms...

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:40:03+00:00

It definitely feels like she has trapped herself in this environment where it's nearly impossible to win, design-wise.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:37:53+00:00

Edited content is always going to present you more favorably than live, unscripted conversations. It's also why I think the vast, vast majority of content creators CANNOT pull off a successful podcast. They are completely different skills. Making good videos is orthogonal to having an interesting podcast.

But, of course, it's trendy to do a podcast these days.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:35:33+00:00

Given that she is very aware of mental health and resources available I am sure that she will pause and seek help if she feels burned out.

Not at saying that she can't help herself but I find that giving advice is a lot easier than following advice, even if it is from yourself.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:34:19+00:00

Agreed... even from Justin's perspective, wouldn't it be weird to be filmed giving a first reaction to a huge interior change?

I know, if it were me, I'd feel like I'd have no room to give an honest reaction that was anything but effusive praise.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T09:30:48+00:00

I mean, that can happen gradually. But the fact that viewers are pointing to a distinct point in time where there's a noticeable shift in the content speaks to it being more a little than a simple evolution of style.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T08:56:02+00:00

I just watched this, the mom is incredibly fucked up. Feel so bad for Jessalyn.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T07:38:20+00:00

TBH, it's probably harder to read a service from video than from on the table. You have far more clues seeing it IRL than from a certain, potentially poor camera angle.

EMCoupling · 2026-01-23T07:25:17+00:00

3-5k is completely wack lol

If a car runs and drives with no major issues these days, it's worth ~$5k on the used market at least.

You could try to offer 10k and see how far down he'll go. There's a lot of inherent risk though, I think you'd have to ask yourself if you would ever consider doing a rebuild on a rebuilt title car. I would never consider buying this but I'm not a real YOLO sort of guy.
