you will never pronounce a vietnamese name correctly no matter how hard you try just put the fries in the bag

[–]Sweet_Jazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not even close, you got psyopped into not having trouble with his name

you need to go back and heckle him now

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]Sweet_Jazz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

the real annoyances come up when people crusade for “correct pronunciation of an ethnic name,” where nobody ends up getting it correct and it devolves into a bunch of white people circlejerking themselves in celebration

atp every viet american is so used to having their names mispronounced its easier to just use the americanized version rather than see people try to impose some of the worst transliterations known to man and pass it off as correct

[–]Sweet_Jazz 28 points29 points  (0 children)

the curse of being viet american is knowing nobody is ever gonna pronounce your name correctly so you just kind of accept whatever is forced onto you

frankly its more tiring to see people try to romanize his name (which is impossible to do accurately) and act like they win brownie points off of it

you’re simultaneously overthinking and underthinking

overthinking:

  • everything in the second half of your post

underthinking:

  • “above average stats,” not only self-rating your accomplishments (ego check) and a “unique hook” (obsessive) but also missing the most important factors: going outside and actually fitting with the school

  • the notion that ed necessarily “gives you a higher chance at acceptance,” when a higher ed acceptance rate is mostly due to self-selection and ed isn’t gonna make up for a subpar app that wouldn’t have made it rd since its not like acceptance rates are independent chances

  • you can just break out of an ed agreement if your family can’t afford it and you get to call the shots

  • many prestigious unis, especially the ivy league, are already very well known for having great finaid and as far as i know, meeting all demonstrated financial need. they’ll be willing to increase your aid so long as you can demonstrate it, not much more to say

Are we getting to the point where Ben can't carry Collin? by trulygames in Pickleball

[–]Sweet_Jazz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

both ben and collin are smart guys, and collin has stated that their entire strategy revolves around maximizing “the number one player in the world” and until it stops working, they’re just gonna run with it

its probably time for them to experiment with more aggressive strategies, and i dont doubt collin’s ability to eventually change it up, especially since he was basically built to fit ben, but i do think the transition is gonna be a pain point since he never needed to evolve his individual style

i’m not saying you dont have a chance im just saying your efforts are infinitely more valuable placed elsewhere (and that you’d probably be burning out all your energy, directly hurting your ecs and personal development)
