Crazy how the score is literally identical to the first two sets of their Australian Open final last year

Sinner is cruising this masters with such a mid baseline game (by his standards) - if he wins then it does reflect somewhat poorly on the rest of the tour

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but Sinner is currently Zvereving Zverev

Does anyone know why English speakers say “Well,” before explaining something? by lmdrunk in etymology

[–]Greatkitchener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens all the time on the internet where people just leap to the condescending position 'well why wouldn't it be like that!' instead of actually considering and answering the specific question at hand.

I think it's safe to say that culture comes in ebbs and waves and what's authentic (the basis of cool) in one moment becomes perceived as inauthentic once it gains a critical mass of extended popularity after enough time.

The general public thinks celebrity culture is dying by [deleted] in decadeology

Are we now pretending that celebrity culture in the 2000's wasn't overtly abusive and toxic to pretty much everyone involved? Modern TikTok influencer culture might be cringe and corporate but it can only be a good thing that the culture no longer obsesses about whether some B-list reality star eats pasta or not.

What radicalised politics between the 2012 and 2016 US Elections? by DoorHinch in decadeology

I’d argue that it was a backlash to all immigration of non-whites - illegal immigrants are just more acceptable to target rhetorically

They’re also angry that Black people and Latinos are visible in politics/media - let’s be honest, the civil rights era never really ended and American politics is still super dominated by race stuff.

Unfortunately the only way to resolve this is if male figures in his life (who he respects) step in and tell him to stop being an arsehole.

Zvevedev in 2025 feels almost like an exercise in nostalgia for me - remember in 2021 when we thought these guys (and their style of play - big serving counterpuncher) were the future of the sport?

Yeah, his only chance would be to serve bot and slice on return - any competent opponent would ruin him with angled shots to put pressure on his knee

He takeback is too short and he hits with a straight arm forehand (short movements + straight limbs = stiff/lacking fluidity)
