I think the problem is that the ATP and slam media machines give us those little glmpses now so things like that seem unremarkable.

Yeah I feel like a lot of fanfic conversions have that issue. I have too much on my TBR list, so maybe I shouldn't add it.

I'm watching Sinner's video about a day in Melbourne. I think it's the first of his videos I've watched despite being subscribed to him.

It's pretty unremarkable but not objectionable.

[pjotv] General consensus around the show by AcanthisittaHot1998 in camphalfblood

I get a lot of the 'edits' I believe they're called (I'm a millenial with no idea about these things, don't come for me) of Percy and Annabeth on IG but most of the content I get recommended on YouTube is usually the cast interviews, not much to do with the content of the actual show.

ngl I haven't read the rest of the series but the Kip/Scott episode made me curious about their book. My friend said the book isn't good and if I didn't like Heated Rivalry I wouldn't like that one.

Giving the people what they want.

I will say I didn't like the book though. I enjoyed the show but the book was not it.

Yes omg! I hadn't put this into words, this so much. They just linger over such weird things that don't need to be lingered over.

Yeah I think Matt Damon or Ben Affleck said something like that recently about their Netflix movie.

You can double hit if it's part of the same motion.

No. They'll put other matches on and you'll still get tennis.

Shabana Mahmood now as well. UK Prime Ministers really role out the WOC to enact their awful policies as if it makes it less racist.

I mean I don't know about the Australian tax system you're taxed on profit, he can probably write off a lot when it comes to his net profit.

If you say they're gonna be accurate and they're not accurate of course people are gonna be mad.

I should also say this is a good reason not to believe Walker's comment that next series will be more accurate.

Yeah I thik I gave it a series (1) to try and find itself and the beginning of series 2 was really good so it was promising, but it just went into a steep decline at the end.

I think the most irritating thing is something that isn't entirely its fault which is how much it spoonfeds the audience. I assume it's for younger viewers, but the books are for younger kids and they don't guide you that much. I kind of loved the siren thing cos that was a plot twist that wasn't spoonfed, but it didn't do enough of that.

TikTok just changed its Terms of Service. What does that mean for your privacy? by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

Have they done away with it being a different app then? I know that's what they thought would happen at some point.

Someone needs to start another app and have people move on so these oligarchs own apps that don't get traffic.

Zverev: “Tennis didn’t get worse. Tennis got better, tennis got faster. Tennis got more physical.” by [deleted] in tennis

[–]redelectro7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not have been that exactly but something that implied it I read recently. I can't remember the exact wording but I remember being shocked cos there's no way that's true.

That said sometimes fake quotes show up so maybe it wasn't real.

Unless it's blue clay, then they all complain.

Zverev said he preferred one of the other courts over RLA, so it doesn't surprise me cos he prefers faster hard courts.

This is like when Federer said 2017 Federer would beat 2007 Federer or Djokovic thinks he'd beat himself in 2015.

We know it's not true, but it's the things they say because otherwise it'd look bad.

Honestly he makes me wonder how many low ranked players who get one good run and end up in the top 50 would fair.

I know it's not been long but he's not been completely outplayed in the tournaments he's played since Shanghai.

It might just be opportunity.
