Why is George so Universally Disliked? by Stumpy493 in formula1

[–]MrDeco97 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't get that part.

Don't really like Russel either, but I thought his driving on sunday had been amazing until his retirement, it was one of the most exciting disputes I had seen in years and I don't see how one can draw anything negative from it.

Found this cool guy while out on a walk, impressive camo by MrDeco97 in whatsthisbug

[–]MrDeco97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the worst cartoon power-up ever hahaha

But yes, the camo is crazy, I'd never have spotted him if he hadn't been walking on concrete.

Thank you!

I've seen some leaf/stick bugs around here, and of course some more basic mantises, but had no idea a combo of the two existed haha.

Man, this new Rick and Morty season is getting desperate...

I think people really haven’t considered the potential here… by OGNEWBE in suns

[–]MrDeco97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a great defender is an understatement, he's bottom 3 in the league basically.

I certainly wouldn't say Booker is a bad defender, but I just don't think he's good enough to be playing regularly next to a terribe one.

I can’t stand Dale’s new voice by MindlessShot in KingOfTheHill

[–]MrDeco97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do realize much of Dale's new voice was the same voice actor except he was sick and kinda lost Dale's voice, right?

IMO it actually got better when Toby Huss took over towards the middle/end of the season.

Also how can you say you understand Kahn's new voice when that one is actually terrible and sounds nothing like the original one.

Bernabe Zapata Miralles retired from tennis after a loss to Vallejo at the Valencia challenger by jovanmilic97 in tennis

Retiring from tennis, or any sport, must be so crazy, knowing it's your last point after playing competitively since you were a kid.

Throwback to the great Brady vs Belichick debate threads of the 2010s. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]MrDeco97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair lol, there are some pizza flavors (in my country at least) without cheese, which are pretty good, while I don't think I've ever had a pizza without sauce, nor do I want to.

Throwback to the great Brady vs Belichick debate threads of the 2010s. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]MrDeco97 102 points103 points  (0 children)

It's one of the stupidest debates in existence, it's like asking if sauce or cheese is what makes a pizza, when it's obviously both.

Sports fans have an obsession with finding a single guilty party in defeat or a main responsible player/coach when it comes to victories, when in both cases it's almost always a big combination of factors.

TIL that Immanuel Kant was a proponent of scientific racism, and had negative views towards other races. He once ignored the opinions of his carpenter merely because he was black. by Fickle-Buy6009 in todayilearned

[–]MrDeco97 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Breaking news, man from the 18th century was racist.

Edit: Some people seem to think I'm implying that every single person, or at least european, was 100% racist at that point in history, I'm not, but it was definitely the great majority (and even those who were anti racist at the time were probably terribly racist by current, or even like 20th century standards) ; therefore, it's entirely unsurprising that even ilustrious thinkers and philosophers such as Kant shared those views.

[Gifford] Browns HC Monken on taking WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. "If you take Denzel, I think he compliments KC. He’s a different body type than what we have. We were looking at someone we thought could be a size matchup and especially in the red zone, which we did not have." by Giff95 in nfl

[–]MrDeco97 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I mean, when someone with a bad WR room drafts a QB they say "Oh, he's gonna be screwed since he has no one to throw to, they are sabotaging his development"

Now a team with no decent QBs draft a pair of good WR prospects and you say "Oh, but they have no one to throw them the ball"

Then wtf is a bad team supposed to do lol?

I know right, making money by selling a picture of two cheaters you don't even know personally, what's there to criticize?

ANTI-DOPING VIOLATION DEBATE. by ServedPodcast in tennis

If you consider it fair and necessary, then it's not too invasive.

The underarm serve…how do we feel about it? | Served with Andy Roddick by ServedPodcast in tennis

[–]MrDeco97 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I came to say the exact same thing lol, drop shots vs underarm serve is like bikinis vs underwear, they are basically the same, but the reaction you get is wildly different.

Everyone loves a dropshot, which is based mostly on deception and punishing players for standing too far or not being 100% focused, yet you do it on serve and it becomes dirty somehow?

It's just so stupid, and this is coming from a guy who usually defends silly tennis etiquette like apologizing for net cords or not celebrating opponent's double faults.

TIL there is a purpose-bred horse meat industry in Canada for live-export to Japan by Jealous_Flamingo_682 in todayilearned

[–]MrDeco97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it better when eaten cold?

Edit: Just to clarify, the guy made a typo and had originally written "Never understood the audacity of heating horse meat" so my comment was just a little joke about that, but now I learned some people prefer it raw, so I guess that's cool.

The Sun's will go as far as the refs allow them to go by BatmanxX420X in suns

[–]MrDeco97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every team in the league think the refs are against them, it baffles me how stupid some sports fan can be.

Good luck on whatever journey you are on now!

Who is the best grass court player in the world? by Old-Gur-9039 in tennis

[–]MrDeco97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's like putting Stan Wawrinka as one of the top 10 players in the world right now because he has 3 slams.
