i've been following pro tennis again after not really watching it since high school.
it's crazy how many parallels it has with the melee community.
here's an example of a player complaining about early morning matches looool

Dan Evans’ response to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina’s frustration with the ATP’s scheduling in Toronto:
“Wake up and play. The world wakes up and works 9-5 even 8-6, pathetic” 🥶

There is no credible progressive argument against building a ton of new homes at all income levels. Opposing making it easier to build new homes isn’t progressive. It’s super conservative & an argument for a permanent shortage & permanent high rents.
If your whole thing is being a "renter's advocate" and you aren't running full speed towards this you are probably doing something else

finally, what a grind.
darkrai/giratina is clearly the best deck but i think it's also hard to play perfectly. there's a lot of decisions that need to be made and i enjoy it way more than decks like gyarados.

Both the Democrats and democracy are toast if we can't start legalizing new apartments in the cities and suburbs of blue states. It's an existential threat. I don't know what else to say at this point.

We're all going to be unbelievably fucked if blue states don't start immediately rolling back restrictions on new housing to create a construction boom and build millions of new multifamily homes as soon as possible

i don't have 2 darkrai ex yet so i've been playing this exeggutor ex deck and i love it. it's fast and consistent, and obviously has a good matchup into darkrai.

i'm glad you're fortunate enough to not have anyone in your life who's at risk of getting detained by ICE or being denied essential healthcare.
learn to have some fucking empathy.

this is someone who i hated working with and was one of the worst engineers i ever worked with.
that explains it i guess.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."

the pervasive of sports betting nowadays is fucking insane.
i'm trying to keep up with tennis through social media and it's a bunch of idiots raging about losing their bets and accusing players of matchfixing.

people love complaining about celebi, but i don't see celebi dominating the recent tournaments, not even close. there's actually a pretty large variety of decks i'm running into while doing the emblem event, i think it's pretty cool so far.
