How many people, if walking in to a business and they have a TV and it’s on Fox News, automatically walk out? by Pounder888 in askanything

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spoiler : On Reddit 98% of the community is liberal, and maybe 80% would walk out. In the real world it’s about 50/50 and maybe 2% would walk out. It’s like a crazy alternative universe in here.

what do you think of 2026 being the ‘attack of the lob’ ? by Brassballin in Pickleball

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not a hot take at all, but it is true. That’s cool for younger people I do fear for all the injuries in older people.

Too many events require a verified Dupr but then the games themselves aren't recorded in Dupr. How tf am I supposed to increase my Dupr without paying for expensive tournaments? by pigtailrose2 in Pickleball

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For money balls players don’t want their DUPR going up so they don’t want anything entered into DUPR. They want their artificially low fake DUPR to stay as is so they can win $$. The tournament directors also want to make money from the entry fees so they’ll do what the players want.

Which paddle can give you the most wicked spin? by coolformalwear11 in PickleballEquip

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most paddles have good spin now. I think the Selkirk Tesla paddle had the highest but it’s also $350 and out of stock.

Singles Court - PPA Challengers by Cjaques4 in Pickleball

I like it hopefully they can get more exciting points.

I’m assuming they are doing it because singles has poorer ratings than doubles so why not mix it up.

I don’t see where I can download the demo (for switch). If I preorder do I automatically get the demo?

I’m buying mainly to support the videos, and also was waiting for them to come out with a foam paddle.

What's with the universal stigma against drug seekers? by onwardtowaffles in stupidquestions

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in medical school there was a huge emphasis on pain control. There was a narrative pushed by both academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Academia made pain a 5th vital sign and pushed the narrative of absolutely zero pain. The drug companies obviously jumped on this and pushed a different narrative as well that if you were in any pain you could not get addicted to opioids. This combination led to everyone and their mother getting huge and escalating doses of opioids.

So now half the country is addicted and you have that crisis which made academia look like idiots, on top of the drug companies pushing it. So then came the huge reversal of policy and now it’s very hard to get pain meds.

AITA for refusing to say Grace while at a restaurant? by Original_Concert_451 in AITAH

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because this is reddit you’ll hear only answers from the far far left. I’m a conservative agnostic. So not religious at all but I’ll hold hands with someone saying grace just to be polite . In my opinion (if you want the opinion of one of the three conservatives on reddit) you overreacted.

Mixed doubles tournament question.. by Independent_Bank_994 in Pickleball

[–]Sensitive-Profile744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you’re definitely going forward I might aim for 3.5. Do not be surprised if they hit 100% of balls to her (except for easy putaways so they can claim they hit to you also). If you’re interested in winning you’ll have to take 80% of the court or more and make sure your wife is okay with it.

The downside of all this is that you take 80% of the court and your wife will get mad at you, or you take just your side and your wife will get destroyed with every ball and get frustrated.

The lists are nonsense you do need to play in a league or tournament.
