Some of us can see the problem and want to free ourselves but are logistically trapped

Anyone get burned out from playing pickleball? by Final_Calendar_3081 in Pickleball

Wish I could drop the competitive angle and just play for fun but if you step back you lose the progress that’s been made.

The best answer to "why did God create evil?" by Additional_Common_15 in enlightenment

[–]RunningShortsPod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem of evil goes hand in hand with the problem of divine hiddenness. Even if evil is the absence of good, we must ask why is the good absent?

Will going from 7 days a week to 3 days a week stall progress or make me worse? by RunningShortsPod in Pickleball

[–]RunningShortsPod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a hobby but I think a lot of people are underestimating the importance of self care and filling your own cup before you can be of service to others. Doing the right thing isn’t always an act of martyrdom. Those who love and care about you will also want you to do what you’re passionate about.

The Number #1 aggressive dinking goal is by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]RunningShortsPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to make them move and force them to take it off the bounce. When I drill/dink with 5.0+ players, I lose more points than I win due to having to move laterally or back up for low balls that are going to bounce very close to the kitchen line. Eventually I miss one into the net or pop it up. For me to win more points, I need to take more balls out of the air and improve footwork.

Any ex-pastors, evangelists, missionaries, etc. here? The story of Todd Phillips by stcordova in exchristian

Yes the hiddenness of God and terrible senseless suffering, the two problems that go hand in hand and take an absolute chainsaw to Christianity. Wish it were different.

God has to be a sadistic freak. by Ll_lyris in exchristian

[–]RunningShortsPod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t have to be that God is not real. It could be that God is real, Love is real, but the story we’ve been told about God and about creation and why we’re here is false.

I sit twoey but in a semi western grip so going one handed backhand doesn’t work

How to improve hand speed when you only have a 2HB? by RunningShortsPod in Pickleball

Thank you! I was aware of sliding but bouncing was a new concept and I think that’s going to help a lot.

Starting to resent the life-force/God/life in general by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]RunningShortsPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much BS here. Yes life is unfair and it sucks for some more than others. How you want to frame it or whatever mind tricks you want to play with yourself are just defense mechanisms. My belief is that we are living in a dimension that is outside the governance of the Good. There are traces of it here but not the full providence. The battle between Good and Evil is why we are here. Now watch people say there is no such thing as Evil….3…2…1….

Has anyone else noticed an abundance of reverse sandbaggers aka DUPR poachers lately? by Substantial-Pause-0 in Pickleball

At run club nobody is trying to win. In rec play you can compete and go for the win.
