the key is to go regularly and work your skills. it's always nice to go with someone better than you who will push you a bit. if you take one trip a year for 4-5 days, it's difficult to get better. |

I learned this the hard way circa 2012 when I first heard about XO / 4chan / Reddit from a college buddy of mine considering law school (probably for the better he didn't end up going in his case - very extraverted guy who would have been driven crazy by the expected RIGOR and did great financially in a completely different field)...
...was afraid to poast until 2013, but was then in so many words told how retarded I sounded and needed to lurk moar, so I went back to the drawing board and poasted AGAIN a few times in 2014, then a lot more in 2015 to decent feedback, didn't poast much due to IRL craziness from 2016 to 2020, but then began MEGApoasting as Emilio Estevez circa 1992 starting sometime in late 2020 or early 2021... and the rest is HIStory for better or worse! 🐶 |

Date: August 12th, 2026 9:52 PM Author: Sick Nibblets it's not hard. it's just not likely that, having never played before, you "destroyed" every single other person -- presumably many of whom had played before -- unless you went to an AARP conference.
if you're reasonably athletic, you would be able to hold your own. but i dont think you destroyed everyone. |

Date: August 12th, 2026 8:13 PM Author: Big parlor roast beef This. I remember in college we had to do some weird gym class to graduate it was like 1 credit. Some waste of time.
Only thing open was “racquetball.” I remember the guy teaching it was like some former world champion. When he saw me he was amazed asking how long I did it for. I’m like this is the first time I ever picked it up. You just hit the ball with a racquet then then you get the hang of the bounces you just make it hit weird spots on the wall. He was actually mad I just started. At the time I was playing baseball there at the college.
A lot of lib sports and hobbies any normal athlete can just dominate but no one ever wasted the time. |
|
Date: August 12th, 2026 9:56 PM Author: Sick Nibblets racketball and squash are serious sports that require a ton of skill -- ball striking, movement and strategy.
dont equate them with pickleball, which is a joke. |
|
Date: August 13th, 2026 4:21 PM Author: Big parlor roast beef Not true. Obviously you won’t be a world champion off the street.
But it’s one of those sports that takes in skills from other sports and helps you be “dominant” among regulars.
For example if you’re a great football player and baseball player but never picked up a basketball in your life, you most likely won’t dominate a pickup basketball game.
I bet you any amount of money Tiki Barber can pick up a racquetball thing and dominate 90% of the population bc of his hand eye coordination and strength alone. |
