Some people need a good ostracizing
This is actually pretty much the point I’m trying to make and maybe didn’t explain it well.
We can be an accepting society while still ostracizing freaks and judging people who are crazy or make insane choices

How do we solve today’s societal issues while also embracing change?

Not sure how this post will be taken but here it goes.
I agree that society had some issues with equality and access in the past and like the idea of fixing those issues, people should be able to be whatever without being ostracized or whatever.
At the same time we have way overcorrected. People who are different shouldn’t be told or promoted that they aren’t different, different is fine, but it’s still different. Society is so soft today and we are teaching people that they should want to be different and celebrate that which isn’t a good thing.
Basically what I’m saying is IMO society needs to get to a point that it’s fine to be different, live your life and be yourself, at the same time people should know that choosing to be different means certain things will be harder for you and some people might judge you, if you’re okay with that, go for it.

In what grade did you stop saying the pledge of allegiance every day?

I’m trying to remember. I feel like I said it every day in elementary school and maybe stopped in Middle School?
quote:
These chicks are completely innocent and trapped. Let’s face it and be fair, when in high school if anyone had a mid OT5 or above teacher we were constantly hitting on her or had bets if anyone could ‘get up in that’.
I lost a bet to my football teammates trying to ease up in the new English teacher. Flirted with her constantly, but she resisted.
Teachers aren’t ’taking advantage’ they are falling victim unless it’s less than an OT5 and middle school type shite.
This is a crazy take
re: Why are they going off 2 tees tomorrow?

Hot take: golf tournaments are so much more fun to watch when this is the case.
The masters in 2023 when they went off in 3somes off of both tees was crazy good TV

re: Movie Debate: Dunkirk vs 1917
Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/21/26 at 9:56 pm to athenslife101
I don’t know if this will make sense to y’all or not, but I feel like Dunkirk had to famous of a lead actor for me. I like Benedict Cumberbatch a lot, but in this movie, he kind of took me out of the story if that makes sense. It’s supposed to be this epic about a particular event, but when you have such a big star, he ends up, dominating the screen when he’s on it or at least that’s how this movie felt to me.

Great show and I didn’t mind the over the top stuff at all the show never pretended to be anything it wasn’t.
The only thing I ever questioned is how often Hood got his arse absolutely kicked and still won the fight and didn’t die or become crippled :lol:
I did appreciate that they at least showed him laid out in bed with ice and stitches afterwards :lol:

Honestly, people like this probably don’t know any better. I used to think they were all assholes too until I started “coaching” middle and high school golf at a low level of mostly newcomers.
These kids will hit directly into someone ahead of them, try and hit a ball over someone’s head, walk directly in line with the green while their playing partner is playing, or hit while the group ahead of the is walking off the green. I was standing next to a cart talking to my high school aged manager last week and a ball came head height right past my face and slammed into the cart she was sitting in, nobody even said fore or apologized.
These kids aren’t assholes, they legitimately don’t know what they’re doing until me or whoever is teaching them tells them it’s bad etiquette or unsafe or whatever, and then they start to play the right way. (They are also mostly very bad at golf so hit a lot of errant shots :lol:)
What I’m saying is you don’t know what you don’t know, and with so many adults now who are new to golf, it’s likely no one in their life ever taught them basic golf etiquette when they were younger and they actually don’t know that what they are doing is rude or unsafe.

I didn’t realize that was the season finale, not a lot of closure in that episode but I guess it leaves everyone in a good spot going into the next season.
I wonder if they had a different finale filmed in case it got bad reviews and ended after one season? Like a 10th episode that wraps everything up.
I’ll be honest I kind of expected the season to end with Dr. Cox dead….
One thing about the shortened season is that recurring jokes don’t hit the same way they did in the original. You can’t drop a stupid one liner into an episode and then bring it up 15 episodes later like they did in the OG, I guess that’s why they mostly recycled old inside jokes. Good season though as far as reboots go.

re: Average score for masters champ since 1990 is -11. Why do we say its an impossible course?

The setup at ANGC is purposefully done to allow for some scoring opportunities. There is also a lot of year over year course knowledge that comes into play. It's not surprising that those with experience with the course tend to do better.They don't want the course to be un-gettable like the US Open, but a significant challenge where you have to optimize your chances. They want birdies on the back 9 on Sunday, they want scoring to define the tournament. There is essentially no rough there and they are known to do things like cut back branches on trees and take down limbs so that windows are open on errant tee shots. Will they be punished if you're off line? For sure; but they invite players to take the risk.
If they wanted to tune the course up like it was a US Open and fry the greens, grow foot high rough and bring in the fairways to 20 yards wide, there would be absolute carnage there. That's not what they want and the result is you get to see a competition of ability instead of who gets the best breaks.
This is a long arse post just to say you agree with me

I promise you a 5 handicap is going to 4 putt or worse most of the holes at Augusta if you start them at the farthest point away from the pin on each green.
This on its own is a ridiculous statement, also you change the parameters. Whoever said they had to start at the furthest point away? I always assumed the hypothetical was just a random spot.

Do you think a 5 handicap is going to hit a 350 yard drive on 13 and have an 8 iron into the green like Rory?
He won’t have to if he starts on the green…

Maybe not but they’ll have 4 chances at whatever putt or chip they have and then 4 more at whatever they have left for par. Cut line was +4 btw

Look I’m not saying it’s easy at all don’t hear what I’m not saying.
But all these hypotheticals about a 5 handicap winning if he starts on the green or could a 4 person scramble of scratch golfers make the cut etc are dumb.
Augusta has done a great job of upping the mystique of their course and it’s obviously incredibly maintained, but we don’t need to pretend like it’s borderline suicide to try and play for the average golfer. It’s an amazing event and incredible course that the pros can score pretty well on.

Your post is basically the point I’m making. The league is irrelevant now and the few guys they have who are supposed to be world class let them down big time this weekend while the stars of the PGA tour dominated the event
