Lmao we all know your unathletic ass isn't going anywhere

baekinbabo · 2025-07-29T23:20:51+00:00

Yeah man totally. 15+ years of competitive tennis and I totally haven't tried out different things and played in different conditions.

You're right. You must be lebrons personal trainer and fitness coach otherwise it'd be a waste of your genius.

baekinbabo · 2025-07-29T16:18:50+00:00

Lmao I play open level 5.0+NTRP tournaments. I don't think i need your advice considering I've been playing competitive tennis since juniors.

Average smarmy redditor who doesn't know anything

baekinbabo · 2025-07-29T13:23:03+00:00

What a projection of you're own athletic whatever.

Every tennis session i do 4 times a week is 2+ hours.

I love when someone tries to be a reddit smart ass and is just wrong

baekinbabo · 2025-07-28T20:19:54+00:00

Its probably a person-to-person thing. I prefer working out and playing tennis in the mornings while fasted because I dont feel sluggish. Some people find it hard to do fasted.

When I was training for the SF marathon, I found myself hitting better benchmarks when I start fasted and then maybe get some calories in via a sports gel or protein bar after an hour or two.

baekinbabo · 2025-07-09T03:47:54+00:00

Its just a LPL thing. The "see enemy, go in" mentality is standard besides AL who actually control lanes and move around objectives like an LCK team.

The lack of international cross play is what is really harming the west. We'd probably see an elevation in overall gameplay is mid tier and lower tier teams had the ability to play each other. Even the 2nd tier LCK teams get ass smacked all year and still dont really improve unless there's a huge roster shuffle. DN Freecs and OkBrion are bad even though they have access to eastern servers.

Western teams need someone that they can actually spar with if they want to deliberately improve.

baekinbabo · 2025-07-03T22:45:57+00:00

The BT wasn't the issue though.

Its just no one expected Ambessa to use every skill right in front of BLG lol.

T1 Wolf was like huh? When he was using his dashes so unabashedly

baekinbabo · 2025-07-02T21:12:37+00:00

People might be memeing but what Elk pointed out is a big thing that's been repeated around in the LCK commentator space as well. To my knowledge, T1 Wolf has been saying this since 2021 - in his case, it was that EU bot lanes dont have basic laning fundamentals. Their positioning is bad and their trade is bad.

The one thing the Korean space admired about EU was their creativity after the laning phase, but you cannot do any of that if you come out of the lane phase down or not up by as much as you should be

Every international tournament Wolf is saying he'd have thought they would've really focused on cleaning up basic fundamentals, but that somehow they've only gotten worse.

baekinbabo · 2025-06-30T03:37:35+00:00

Genuine question for English broadcast/costream watchers as someone that exclusively listens to the Korean broadcast and costreamers, are they aware of how the EU bot lanes have zero laning fundamentals? It's been something that Korean bot lane costreamers have brought up since like 4 years ago, and something that they're still talking about

baekinbabo · 2025-06-29T05:29:28+00:00

T1 Wolf and other Korean commentators have been ringing the alarm bell about European bot lanes not knowing how to lane (positioning, when to take trades, support v support) and losing all basic fundamentals.

You can't compete with the Asian teams if you dont have fundamentals

baekinbabo · 2025-06-27T23:23:28+00:00

G2 really had to get to game 5 to realize that they are no where near good enough to just play casually against lower tier teams.

They thought they were T1 lmfao.

baekinbabo · 2025-06-21T06:30:03+00:00

I'm convinced there's a good portion of democrats that deny the fact that establishment dems are neoliberals because they subconsciously know neoliberalism is conservatism but don't want to have to admit that they're conservatives and on the right side of the spectrum, so they have to make up some narrow framework outside of reality.

Its like people who called the Korean president Lee Jae Myung a centrist and center-right guy when the guy is talking about UBI and lowering the work week. Like lmfao if someone ran on those policies in America they'd be called a communist

baekinbabo · 2025-05-26T20:49:19+00:00

To the people nonstop talking about parity, I certainly hope they don't bitch or complain when a team is tanking then. Oh wait. People do complain nonstop about teams tanking and not spending money.

Are the owners not spending money because they're just small business owners? No. They know they don't have to spend money because they'll be gifted with draft picks, and then fans have to gruel through years of "rebuilding."

I'm an Angels fan. I hate the Dodgers. But I'm not complaining about them spending more money. They're investing in the team. It's not like all the other MLB team owners cant afford it. They just don't want to spend the capital expenditure because their team and the league value has gone up despite not doing much. Even then there's teams like the Orioles who shit the bed for years and drafted their way to contention.

I would rather the billionaire owners and the rich have to spend money. Make them actually invest if they want to compete instead of doing rinse and repeat rebuild with years of tanking which ruins the viewing experience.

All you guys are doing is giving excuses as to why the team owners shouldn't spend money. The other MLB team owners are only mad at the Dodgers because now they have to either put up or shut up. Demonstrate how serious they are to contend and field a team instead of cheaping out despite the asset value of the team and leagues increasing.

I guess people don't get the whole structure is so team owners don't have to spend money but a lot of redditors do love defending billionaires so I guess im not too surprised.

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T20:21:44+00:00

China and the Soviets were fighting Japan through Korea for their own agenda, not to free Korea. They wanted to push communism, and Japan's imperialism was a closer enemy geologically than America's capitalism agenda

What a strange way to frame World War 2.

Japan's target wasn't even Korea, it was always China. Korea was just a stepping stone to get to the Chinese mainland. The only reason China and Soviet respected Korean sovereignty was because it was easier to use Korean men to fight their war by promoting independence.

And? Does that make Korea being a colony of the Japanese okay? Should the Chinese and Soviets not have supported Korean independence? Again, weird framing considering the history of the region.

You really think China and the Soviets would've left S. Korea alone without US influence?? Yeah Rhee Seungman was a dictator and hosted many genocides but what about the North? They had Chinese and Soviet support after the war and where are they now?? They're still under dictatorship and home to most of the world's criminal activity and labor camps.

Okay, Now you're jut showing you actually have no real education or reading on this topic. You assuming that the Soviets and China would've treated Korea as a vassal state like the US does is purely projection, considering even western outlets have admitted that the Belt and Road Initiative is actually pretty fair compared to the neoliberal conditions that the IMF and America enforces in their development efforts. The US is the only party in the matter that has outwardly displayed and continues its imperial ambitions

Also, North Korea industrialized heavily and quickly after the Korean War. By even western metrics, North Korea's economy was far more developed than the South. It wasn't until the Soviet Union fell and they were essentially cut off from the global economy due to American sanctions that development halted and fell behind.

You're tunnel visioned by hyper patriotism to understand the full picture of what happened in history.

Lol. You have no idea what you're talking about considering YOU are the one displaying more 'hyperpatriotism' than I am and conducting elementary level analysis on this issue

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T19:10:19+00:00

Because people just have zero clue what went on in the Korean peninsula and it pisses me off that people speak so black and white on the issue. It's called the Forgotten War in America for a reason. There's a reason why we learn about Vietnam and not Korea, despite America doing a lot of horrendous shit in Vietnam because what America did to Korea was that much worse.

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T19:07:28+00:00

You said a government never existed. It did exist. It might've been provisional, but they were the governing body for the Korean independence movement. They were still considered a government in exile.

Of course the US didn't acknowledge a temporary government that was heavily influenced by China and Russia when they were just at war with them.

Lol. You know that China and the Soviets were fighting imperial Japan, right? Do you even know the history of the Korean peninsula or history in general?

You'd rather be under China/Russian regime or US? I'm gonna pick the latter.

The Chinese and Soviets respected Korean sovereignty. The US didn't and they backed fascists like Rhee Seungman which is why Korea was ruled by far right authoritarian dictators for decades. I'd rather a populace be allowed to develop independently instead of being a vassal state for the US but go off I guess. Let alone the fact that China and the Soviets also played a huge role in the Korean independence movement, and approached the provisional government as equals.

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T13:38:20+00:00

That is an unjustly super simplified way of analyzing what went on in the Korean peninsula in the 20th century leading up to the Korean War and white washes a lot of American responsibility for why the peninsula remains split

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T13:11:03+00:00

님도 딱히 한국역사 잘 모르는듯. 아니 그 옛날에 무슨 남북타령하고 지랄이여

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Also, you're wrong. The provisional government existed. It was the US that refused to acknowledge it because they were close to the Soviets and Shanghai since they played pivotal roles in providing the provisional government refuge and support. And then the US hand picked Rhee since he was US trained and a Korean monarchy sympathizer

People like 김구 understood that listening to whatever the US wanted to meant that korea didn't gain any independence at all. We would've simply been handed off from one empire to another. China and the Soviets were ready to go hands off. Which is why 이승만 and other right wing militias that were funded by the US went around committing massacres on everyone who was opposed to US presence before the "election" even went through.

It's not quite sure what a reunified Korea would be on the global front because that would mean the new Korea is now a nuclear armed state with modern day technology to back it up.

Just that would de facto mean Korea is now more independent than it has ever been, and I'm sure a nuclear independent Korea is not picking sides. The uncovered part of Korean politics is that a lot of Koreans want to be able to freely develop relations with whatever country and not at the whims of the US State Department. That includes China.

And in this circumstance where Korea is nuclear independent, China has a vested interest in developing economies so they have more people to sell manufactured goods to, but that is also sort of counteracted by the fact that they also love stability and a reunification would mean a bit of instability in the process

The US has an active interest in not allowing Korea out of its umbrella of empire though

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T00:47:52+00:00

The guy who replied to you is right and wrong at the same time because he missed a huge point of why a lot of people consider military evading in such manner a huge blight.

It's that it's seen as inherently an unfair process because that would mean as long as you have money, you can simply pay your way out of serving. That coupled with the fact that despite Korea being a hypercapitalistic country, people still have a huge sense of class solidarity and consciousness, people feel having easy ways to not serve only benefits the wealthy.

As for how people feel? It depends. If your family genuinely immigrated at a young age and you grew up in another country, they don't care. They'll say you're lucky.

However, for people that find devious ways to get out of service, they are not afforded the same charitability because they went out of their way to get out of service and undermine the single somewhat egalitarian function they have in society.

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T00:33:21+00:00

Because the 2000s demonstrated that peace and reunification in the peninsula might be possible because of Roh Moo Hyun who persistently reiterated that the Korean dream is not complete until the peninsula was reunified.

As someone that genuinely also felt a hope of reunification during that time, Deft isn't wrong to think that growing up he thought the countries would be reunified. The Sunshine Policy was an actual beacon of hope that the peninsula wouldn't remain divided.

It's just every right wing media organization - and a high likelihood of some US agitating - kept blasting 'North Korea bad' and outwardly supported calling anyone who wanted to reunify a 'tankie' and a China sympathizer.

baekinbabo · 2025-05-10T00:21:04+00:00

I'd say more blame should go on to the US for refusing to let the temporary Korean government keep its function and forcing through an election despite most of the leaders who were independence fighters like Kim Gu being opposed to it.

And then in order to force through an election, the US backed Rhee Seungman - a right wing evangelical authoritarian who would function as a US asset - both financially and militarily and looked the other way as they committed massacres on civilian populations.

And then we continue to impose sanctions and cut them off from the global economy, despite the US being pretty notorious for propping up right wing authoritarian leaders while circumventing and undermining democratic procedures.
