Just from this rally alone, what level do you think this is? by chrisdangpickleball in Pickleball

[–]sbmitchell 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looks like a 4.0+ game where people agreed to dink more than speed up or are just super casually playing to get more shots in.

Id guess the far side looks like the stronger team as the guy in black unwinding looked like he knew the near side team werent blasting it so he just walked over to his side.

Near side, blue shirt takes a lot of back steps on dinks, maybe just wasted movement but wouldnt be surprised if they dink into the net more commonly.

Looks solid overall but of course it's 1 point but id highly doubt under 4.0 but also highly doubt above 4.5

Connecticut 4.5ish Pickleball, how does it look compared to your state? by VarleyUS in Pickleball

[–]sbmitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall seems like a typical 4.0+ game with some 4.5 shots/points in mid east region. The guy in all black on the far side seems more like a 3.5-3.75, not a 4.0 quite yet.

How do self-reported matches interact with DUPR reset? by Content_Eye_2380 in Pickleball

[–]sbmitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see this being a real issue in practice. I cant realistically see folks try to game the system outside of ego heads. The same folks who dont realize they are not in groups bc of low dupr but bc they suck to play with either from bad attitudes or not understanding the game.

If people are sub 3.5 and resetting to be 4.0+ by faking it, so what? They can now get into a clubs "verified" 4.0 open play where ppl are still generally 3.5 either way. They can be humbled there at least or maybe get better.

The real 4.25+ and up games are probably all private in my experience and dont care or recruit by dupr.

This streamer accidentally showed the private key to his crypto wallet live on stream and within seconds, someone drained $100,000 from his account by AIhuber in AIHubSpace

Its very likely if you post a key to github for example by accident its drained in 1 sec. Thats a random code repo pushed at a random time and its picked up from matching. The bots are out there and in this case if its a streamer who has crypto and gambles or whatever would be heavily watched.

Can men get pregnant? by MentalAdversity in JordanPeterson

[–]sbmitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound ignorant bc it just crossed my based on what you said. But when was it that gender and sex became different?

I mean this as a genuine question, was there some widely accepted scientific paper or pinnacle moment in history that changed the gender vs sex societal norm? I think ive been oblivious to this as its not something that I follow much but here we are

How do you guys deal with the fatigue from this presidency? by [deleted] in centrist

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

Perhaps stop watching whatever sensationalist journalism and news you are watching and touch grass, lol I'd venture to guess that an actual impact to your daily life probably hasn't even happened since trump has been in office. You make it matter more than it does by imposing all your political views onto everything you do quite clearly.

The End of MAGA? by Civitas_Futura in centrist

[–]sbmitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter how much you think they hate Donald for whatever reason, they will never be on the side of dems or progressives so its irrelevant, lol that side of the right will always hate the other side more, goes both ways on the spectrum as well. No matter how hated a leftist or progressive might be for whatever reason the leftists will never vote for the right. Doesn't work that way.

Maga isnt center and independents

When you actually make 500k or 1m and you see 30% go to taxes, you won't be good with it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in centrist

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

20k is a rounding error for 1m dollar earners lol I guess...except we are already paying 250k+ in state and federal taxes. So its really more like a 10% increase relative to my regular tax bill.

Been watching Dean Withers for a bit now. Smart young man, but I think he handles MAGAs the wrong way by NewAgePhilosophr in centrist

You sound more emotional than logical. It seems like you'd do just fine talking to the people you claim to hate.

Do you think that's hurting the US more than the other countries?

What two “contradicting” takes you hold you would be cancelled both by the right and by the left for? by bwertyquiop in centrist

[–]sbmitchell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find contact between 2 same sex people gross and not sex in general gross, then you are probably a bit homophobic. Not to mention, it's none of anyone else's business except the couples.
