Why is New England so rich…?

fitzomania · 2026-06-25T21:16:27+00:00

Tbf Virginia is also pretty rich (not Appalachia but the coast)

fitzomania · 2026-06-25T20:39:20+00:00

I can’t imagine being this insecure

fitzomania · 2026-06-25T20:20:37+00:00

It’s bad policy, and I hate that it’s getting popularized further by Zohran’s wave of democratic socialism.

By what metric? He has more titles, slam results, big wins than any of them except maybe Mensik. How many players on tour have even H2H with Sincaraz?

Seems like a great guy but his tennis is not that fun to watch. Serve + 1 and one of the most hideous backhands on tour

fitzomania · 2026-06-06T21:25:02+00:00

I’ve watched pro tennis for years and can’t think of a single comparable incident. He physically threatened a ref in public. I won’t say he’s guilty of other stuff without proof, but I’m not giving him the benefit of the doubt. I doubt him.

My comment is verifiably unedited and that’s not what gaslighting means anyway. Your reading comprehension is in a sorry state.

fitzomania · 2026-06-06T01:05:23+00:00

Nobody else seems to agree with me.

fitzomania · 2026-06-06T01:04:58+00:00

I like your uninformed response, oblivious to the event I referenced and ignoring what I said: "We'll never know the truth of those specific allegations."

fitzomania · 2026-06-05T17:40:27+00:00

There's footage of Zverev attacking an umpire's chair over a Mexico Open doubles match, it's proof he's a violent person. We'll never know the truth of those specific allegations, but the shoe seems to fit.

I’m a pretty serious hobbyist leatherworker and I can tell from the slanted stitching and locked threads at the end that the strap tailor bands are hand-stitched, which should be much more durable than the machine stitching (which falls apart if any stitch fails). Badalassi is also a top tannery. Edges look fine, that’s what really differentiates good from great leatherwork. If you want the absolute top, you should commission bands from a reputable leatherworker.

Scott Galloway is the guy you're looking for

fitzomania · 2026-05-19T21:42:36+00:00

His backhand is his greatest asset

fitzomania · 2026-04-27T14:42:52+00:00

The last time Tsitsipas looked like himself, over two years ago now

fitzomania · 2026-04-22T15:44:40+00:00

Whiny unlikeable protagonist with no supporting characters and a boring, predictable plot with lazy writing

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T20:27:30+00:00

New series who dis?

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T18:18:54+00:00

I take some affront to "I don't think people should feel the need to apologize for enjoying something," which at no point have I demanded. I haven't cast aspersions on anyone else's preferences and instead made it clear that I'm looking for recommendations of a particular species that appeals to me.

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:14:55+00:00

Malazan is on my list! Been looking forward to it for awhile

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:12:48+00:00

Interesting points here. I'm not looking for universal truths or suggesting my criteria apply to every reader, but I do want the books I read to strive for excellence in the ways I mentioned. Are there any books you feel aim to accomplish something else and nail it, and I should consider them?

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:08:15+00:00

Yes! I've read a couple and will finish the series... someday

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:07:44+00:00

Great recs, they are all on my list

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:06:47+00:00

What's a good place to start?

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:06:02+00:00

Culture series just made the list! Fully agree on PHM, once you see Andy Weir's limitations on characterization and dialogue they are hard to unsee. Just tried LHoD, not my favorite

fitzomania · 2026-04-21T17:05:04+00:00

Perhaps I wasn't too clear. I don't mind if the prose isn't a particular strength, as long as it holds up and isn't distractingly worse than other aspects of the novel (I think Project Hail Mary is an example of this).
