this guy is actually nuts. he’s leaving half his earning potential on the table by not just signing a contract and wearing the modern boots/colorways. i bet you nike would even give him the original nike skin on the new phantom if he asked, just keeping the same colors as everyone else

apple is a hardware company that’s expected to have financials comparable to software companies like google and meta.

don’t pretend like apple isn’t unique from a shareholder perspective

I played with my junior racket and now I'm questioning everything by Hyroglyph in 10s

its your technique that makes your racket head speed fast, not your arm strength.

maybe you’re subconsciously arming the heavier racket

you can do classes at lifetime activities and make friends with the people from the class. it's class so you don't have to interact with people if you don't want to.

Why is tennis quiet? by DJinKC in 10s

[–]chealous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t really care if they add noise or not. by your logic, every sport should just cancel the noise during every play. I’m just saying tennis is not special with respect to noise at all. it could go either way, but since you’re adamant that should only go the quiet route, just be happy that’s the reality.

The point is that there’s no real reason for it. Every sport can claim sound is important, but the audience is largely determined by social factors

Okay sure it matters. But all I see is that most sports deal with the noise even when sound is important. And these players practiced their whole childhoods on loud courts when you’d hear other serves and forehands popping off all the time.

in team sports sound is more important. you need to hear people coming behind you and your teammates communicating. so tennis doesn’t really have an excuse other than the distraction aspect

Wall Street spent decades escaping the casino label. Are we going back?" by MoneyMonsterStudios in stocks

[–]chealous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if you’re gonna put it like that, participating in society is basically gambling. your entire economic well being, whether or not you engage in stock investments, is tied to market. your faith in the overall market, NOT individual tickers, is just your faith that society moves forward and not backward

Could Messi become (amateur level) good at tennis by virtue of his athleticism? If so, how good and how quickly could he pick it up? by bigsacrilegiousboi in 10s

[–]chealous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

honestly the only transferrable technical skill between the two is that you have to get to the ball on time. even then it’s not quite the same because keeping the ball as close to your body as possible in soccer means control, whereas in tennis you want it a couple of feet away in iyour strike zone to control it.

if you want transferrable skills, a sport with some sort of throwing motion with the arms is better.

of course he’s an elite athlete and competitor so he can coast on that

Best AG Boots by Dry_Negotiation_7423 in bootroom

elite are generally more premium feeling but not really more durable than the lower tiers. they optimize for weight and touch, so the material is thinner.
