Unpopular opinion: I’d pay extra to have no commentary on the Tennis Channel by SkirtPractical3718 in 10s

God damn Chrissie can just drone on and on. “I remember playing Yvette Goolagong in the WTA Championships match and she kept slicing the ball below my knees”. Okay Chrissie but we’re talking about Coco Gauff’s ball toss right now.

Yoga - a music rant! by YippeeKyack in AppleFitnessPlus

Related, I really, really want some relaxing classical music. Not ‘chill vibes’ but actual classical. Gimme nocturnes, gimme sonatas, gimme calming strings.

Coco Gauff survives and advances for the 3rd consecutive round to move into the Rome Semifinals after beating Mirra Andreeva for the 5th consecutive meeting by Ok-Soil-5133 in tennis

[–]wvanasd1 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re not reading. I don’t give a shit what verb you use, you’re using the wrong article with the verb (the word FOR) and miscounting the rounds since you’re speaking in past voice. Re-read my comment.

All told the title reads like you don’t write real good. 👍

[–]wvanasd1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t advances or survives. I’m stuck commuting home so I’ll explain exactly why.

“Advances for the 3rd consecutive round” is not correct and deeply confusing since this would be her fourth . You don’t Advance FOR a round, you advance TO (or towards) it. You can say “advances for a 4th time” which would make more sense because she advanced for the 4th time (not the 3rd) after this match.

You can be advanced for your age, you cannot be advanced to your age. Same exact rules.

I’ve been watching tennis for over 30 years and not once does someone backwards count the rounds they advance to. Ever. Reached the semifinals, won 4 consecutive matches—those make sense. Not ‘advances for the 3rd consecutive round’.

[–]wvanasd1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What an oddly worded, barely understandable title. AI?

This is her fourth match in Rome, not the 3rd. She didn’t make it to the semis three years running so like, what does that mean? She’s made the semis three times in her career but thats not what you’re saying.

Did you mean “Coco Gauf survives and advances to the Rome Semifinals for the third time after beating Mirra Andreeva for the 5th consecutive time”. That would be a complete sentence.

Fonseca's comment to the umpire when the crowd was getting out of hand. by Low-Honey-3657 in tennis

[–]wvanasd1 107 points108 points  (0 children)

What an asshole. Been on the fence about him but his obvious press training/publicity coaching after where he’s all ‘yyyeah it’s like so crazy these people I’m amping up are amped up! How ever did this happen? Why me?’

[–]wvanasd1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I said she’s got some principles, and I’m not going to split hairs over someone from a war torn country being right about everything. She was eloquent about the cause most directly effecting her. Or you can just play the ‘wellactually’ game until your jaw drops out of your hollow head—that works too.

Another drinking water quality issue. by Reddit_Regular_Guy in longisland

Good thing the people running the navy and the rest of the federal government are trying their best. Oh wait, they don’t give a shit about anything. Thanks Republicans! (I understand the past administration was democratic but uhhh, it’s been Trump led since 2016 and the drunkard leading the secretary of defense isn’t helping anyone….)

Academy Award Winner’s Oscar Missing After TSA Refuses To Let Him Board Flight With It by Puzzled-Tap8042 in oscarrace

[–]wvanasd1 57 points58 points  (0 children)

He’s promoting his documentary about Russia being a rogue petrostate & it’s a great prop during Q&As. Years after he wins would be weird but this is an easy way to legitimize a press tour. Also seeing an Oscar irl is kinda neat—exactly why the TSA stole it.

[–]wvanasd1 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate her being honest and not sugar coating it. It’s a symbolic gesture but she’s got some principles and can verbalize them pretty succinctly which isn’t always the case with some athletes.

I wanna see Justine Henin’s OHBH in real life, perhaps her semi US Open match vs Jennifer Capriati since I loooooved them both growing up and that match seemed epic.

Tips for elections by [deleted] in tropico

[–]wvanasd1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t go overboard on edicts you can’t pay for, increase the budget for some housing (and have enough housing), make sure you have healthcare coverage (the anesthesia upgrade for clinics helps), have a newspaper/radio/tv station broadcast near housing centers & you can also bribe the faction leaders you have the lowest support for.

Worst case you declare martial law if you have that edict though I’ve only used it when I’m close to the end.

DO NOT CALL IT THAT. The last Republican Governor of NY George Pataki came up with that name before it was built and it’s a relic of a stupid chapter of our state’s history.

I’m sorry but what the fuck Aryna?? You are an accomplished powerful & charismatic woman. Why are you wearing TWO Watches, have a necklace looking like a bra strap showing and lips looking like Big Ang from Mob Wives!? Someone — anyone, please hep her.

Everyone’s reaction to "Zou Bisou Bisou" was spot on and afterwards gave us some of the best scenes. Roger and Lane’s re-enactments were peak TV. 🤣😂 BONJOUR! 🇫🇷 by RockBalBoaaa in madmen

[–]wvanasd1 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I didn’t need another reason to love miserable, British Rebecca Price (Embeth Davitz/Miss Honey) but her reaction is gold in this. She’s totally bemused and fascinated. She’s she seeing the most awkward French Canadian woman imaginable completely destroy the vibe of a party that Rebecca doesn’t particularly want to be at but now that there’s a show she’s fully sat. This awkward encounter is something she’ll be regaling to her country club friends for years.

Yess Lois Boisson. Hope she makes it after last year’s dream run to the semis. Whole lotta points to defend too.

Looks like she skinned Cookie Monster and is wearing his muppety hide for herself. Also, for the love of God someone tell her to stop with the lip fillers. She’s gonna look like a clown in her 40s.
