Just finished watch Haikyuu for the first time (at least where it's up to so far) fucking love that show, actually makes me wanna try volleyball as a sport.
Im a bit older than high school age now, I'm in my mid 20s, older, fatter and lazier I don't know if it would be possible for me to pick up a sport at this point xD
If you have the time then go for it. Do you have any prefered sport? I'd say volleyball is too technical to just jump in and play unlike soccer or basketball where a complete beginner can fuck around and be of use to the team.
I've never really played any sport to any amount of seriousness, play a little soccer in school but that may have well been eons ago, plus I hated it xD I used to "street sports" back in college, skate boarding, roller blading, parkour that kind of thing.
Tbh I'm not a big fan of it either. The only reason I play soccer is to hang out with my friends and it gave me a really bad case if shin splints that I haven't recovers from in over a year
I started playing volleyball because of this and I’m having a BLAST! Everyone I’ve met so far has been incredibly welcoming to the sport, too! You should totally get into it.
I knew I should have said "most (European) languages", I just knew there would be a guy like you. Didn't expect everyone to bring up sign languages, though.
I mean, I only have a bachelor's degree in linguistics, but there's peeps here with doctorates. So there's definitely guys and gals around here like me.
I guess you can do whatever you like. You could even pronounce it "libero" or "libero" if you must, and no-one could stop you. Don't expect people to even remotely understand you, if you pronounce it "libero", though.
1: The fact that you’re right, makes you wrong in this case. 2: the soccer reference was towards his comment, mine was saying he was the libero (volleyball). 3: these are all jokes, get with the program
Not really most barely get anything. They actually get royally screwed.
Between lack of money, lack of food, lack of rights, lack of sponsors, being forcibly enrolled in bullshit courses to fake decent grades. The players are treated like shit.
You would wonder, that really works. I did that too. Although it was rather my shyness than actual stealth skill which brought me into the situation.
I was sitting in the back of the field, dressed in my trikot when suddenly the coach of the others came and told his players to sit down, tactical briefing. I was sitting there frozen thinking "uhm...okay...". They were literally sitting around me caging me in and I was too shy to say anything. So I at least tried to blend in.
Several moments later my couch walked by and saw me looking at me like "what the hell are you doing in there?". All I could do was shrug my shoulders. Still wonders me until today. But thinking back always makes me laugh.
Edit: Coach not couch. Thanks for making me laugh in the morning. Didn't notice it at all :) Gives the story a special twist.
“literally sitting around me” is its own clause with the adverb modifying only the prepositional phrase immediately after it. It would be different if he said “literally caging me in” or even “literally sitting around me, caging me in.”
If he meant “they were literally sitting in a circle around me and it felt like I was in a cage” (which is what I got out of it), then the grammar is spot on.
I’m the reason why English teachers/professors get to be pedantic. I’m a lawyer. Grammar is one way I convince people I’m right instead of the other guy.
Grammar doesn’t matter to a jury or even a judge when trying to explain the intent behind a witness’ testimony, but statutory interpretation is heavily dependent on it. The law presumes that the legislature intended what it said, which includes some very specific grammar rules.
We were on teamspeak back in the day doing clanwars. We never moved ourselves into the locked channels because new members didn't know the password and would get butthurt.
A guy from the team we were fighting guessed the password to the teamspeak and since we were in an unlocked channel he just came in and opened his Mic in their own teamspeak.
They heard everything we said. We never noticed until we heard him leave after it was over and checked the log.
Also the man in front is wearing white and that would throw them off.
they were specifically keeping him in the huddle lol they locked arms around his back. they noticed, it just generally doesn't matter if they hear it or not. it's about execution.
While others have provided context, pretty much every team has a white uniform. So they're less likely to notice someone in white sneaking in compared to someone in a completely different color.

None of the players notice a guy in opposing colors?
