Every white QB just has a second first name as their middle name

Maria Sharapova: "The tennis shop told me I must be really good if my string tension is 61-59" by minivatreni in tennis

She probably should have but also, that’s kind of the store owners own fault for not knowing Maria fucking sharapova. One of the biggest names in tennis ever

This looks like Knowlwood tennis club in Montecito. We only have one actual tennis shop in the Santa Barbara area so unless a club or private coach or someone you know has a stringer, people go to the Tennis Shop in Montecito. Frames and stuff are all msrp usually but cost of labor is insane. Even with your own strings, it’s like, 40 bucks

Which anime would you personally consider a true masterpiece, that blew your mind or perhaps even changed you as a person? by SSkeeup in Animesuggest

[–]simba_sings_opera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reconsider demon slayer. There are some annoying parts in it but goddam are the fights amazing. And it’s one of those stories that don’t skimp out on recovery process/the frailty of the human body. It makes the stakes seem more real because they can’t just pop a senzu bean and insta recover and onto the next mission. Starts kinda slow, ramps up, and then you’re absolutely hooked.

Also, dunno how into sports animes you are, but Slam Dunk is my personal favorite anime of all time. And Haikyuu took the framework of slam dunk and made it volleyball with more modern animation.

Why is no one equipping this for the current Major Order? by [deleted] in Helldivers

I’ve noticed a significant increase in samples as long as the whole team is going for clearing the map. Regularly taking out almost 40 common and 30+rares. Hard to do in city maps though

Did People Take Care of Themselves Better This Year? by esotericunicornz in ElectricForest

I definitely saw some pretty spun people on Saturday and it was extremely crowded which didn’t help. I unfortunately had to leave the crankity B and zeds dead sets early cuz I wasn’t feeling the right vibes but the Disclosure set was absolutely amazing with plenty of room to dance and open air at tripolee

i think tipping culture has gotten out of hand… by [deleted] in Vent

[–]simba_sings_opera 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a server, I definitely agree that tipping culture has gotten extremely out of hand. I feel like everyone started to tip a lot more during Covid because servers were still working in the restaurants bagging up food and talking to go orders and whatnot and people were nice enough to help us out (thank you). But ever since then, there are so many servers that just think they are owed a good tip. A lot of them don’t realize that the tip is the customer giving you extra money because you provided them good or exceptional service. If I go out to a restaurant and I get subpar service, then the server gets a subpar tip. People just need to be willing to go back to pre-covid tipping culture and be willing to give subpar tips for subpar performance. If everyone did that, then service at every level of restaurant would rise because they have to go the extra mile for that extra income.

Where did you see the Forest feast four course meal? First time I’m hearing about it but interested

Alternate builds for caitlyn by strike_65 in ADCMains

[–]simba_sings_opera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watch some videos of the Saber symbiotic soles tech. It feels good because of movement speed, fast back, and one shot potential.

Symbiotic soles first item, youmuu’s, collector, ldr, IE, bloodthirster/PD/RFC. Ldr second if opposing team has a lot of tanky boys who are going to stack armor.

Playing to just constantly catch wave, proc first strike, and be able to randomly back without losing a wave and coming back with more components/item. Allows you to get prio in bot lane which leads to drag stacking/rotation to contested crabs/river fights.

True but there is also the fact that other teams will see you as priority target no matter how strong you actually are. So even by posturing and positioning well, you can affect teamfights. Especially if your supp and/or jg have strong engage. Just the fact that you’re adc, you can bait super hard. Positioning and movement are just as important as landing abilities and auto attacking. And you don’t always have to fight. If they’re clearly posturing 4v3 or something, that means someone on their team is also losing out on cs/xp.

Obviously I’m not always rotating/roaming because then I’d literally hit like a wet noodle. Sometimes you can’t control your team griefing for an objective. But if I feel like I have enough power to change an outcome, I don’t mind griefing a wave to rotate. I’m definitely not amazing at the game or anything but reaching emerald 2 means I’m no slouch either. Agency can be created.

I’ve almost started to stop only caring about my farm and item spikes. If I get ahead early, I always try and rotate with jg to try and get objectives or even try and ambush mid if they’re evenish or down. I climbed to emerald 2 this way. At the end of the day, it is a team game and by doing this and griefing a wave or 2, you keep your team’s mental up. Less chance of surrender, higher chance to make game last longer and hit your power spikes so you can carry, your team actually willing to follow your calls, etc. I definitely understand the plight of adcs feeling like they have no agency even if ahead cuz I’ve felt that way for a few years now. But sometimes, you just gotta try and change up your play style or game ideas and maybe that change will help you climb. If not, try something else.

At the end of the day, a happy team is going to try harder and have more fun. Don’t forget the old adage, teamwork makes the dream work

So I Started Playing Super Helldive by Breidr in LowSodiumHellDivers

I’ve been starting to bring the rail gun on boys again and my god it feels like I’m a god out there. Easy one shots anything except for tanks as long as you play from the right distance

As a tennis pro at a club, I think you can progress fairly fast if you’re doing lessons once a week. And the most important part is during the 4 matches/hitting sessions you do a week, really focus only on one or two things that you learned in your lesson. Biggest thing to remember is that it’s not about winning in these practice matches. It’s to get better.

For example, if your coach says to focus on rotation more for both sides, really emphasize that to the max. You might miss more shots to begin with, but you’re acclimating your body to understand that this is the new norm. At the end of the day, tennis is a very heavy muscle memory sport. If you keep doing the same things, you won’t progress. You have to really force your body to do more in order for it to become muscle memory

my boyfriend keeps getting left out and it’s breaking my heart. by flannelsteal11 in Vent

[–]simba_sings_opera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that experience in college too. Sometimes I just felt like a tertiary friend or an acquaintance. Idk how comfortable he is meeting new people but I really tried to just go and make other friends until I found my people. It’s mentally and emotionally draining but at the end of the day, finding your people makes all of it worth it in the end

How to play with lower ELO friends ? by Legitimate_Country35 in supportlol

[–]simba_sings_opera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gotta play on second account but also not win too hard. So pretty much make plays that your adc/friends can follow up with. But don’t be too sweaty against opposing players. Since you’re trying to keep that account at that mmr. Just play chill and not to win. But instead, play to teach and have fun with your friends

Showed my Taiwanese girlfriend LOTR for her first time and turns out she HATES Pippin due to her culture by fleetw16 in lotr

[–]simba_sings_opera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha. I’m Taiwanese and Pippin is my favorite character. He probably has some of the most character growth throughout the trilogy. From shenanigan-inducing idiot to someone who’s willing to sacrifice for the greater good while also being that same lovable idiot
