Golf is evil. It's a climate-destroying bourgeois sport for porkies to talk about their unspeakable crimes far away from microphones while acting abusively towards caddies and servers.
Think of the millions of gallons of water used to keep this grass in Las Vegas green. All that water wasted and not a single ounce of edible vegetation comes from it.
all so that can get tipsy while trading stonks on their phone.
I do it for the lurking audience who may be undecided

Interesting (I have nothing to add)
Muslim majority delegations from the UN visited Xinjiang and concluded that the accusations of genocide invented wholecloth by evangelical right wing psychopath Adrian Zenz and parroted uncritically by American media were false. If you live in the United States I welcome you to join me in protesting actual ICE concentration camps instead of manufacturing consent for the fascist US military to go to war with China.
The US, its allies and the World Uyghur Congress
(a CIA front by the way)
have accused Beijing of committing genocide against the mostly-Muslim Uyghur ethnic minority which is contested by the Chinese government which claims they are combatting terrorism and separatism.
In 2019, 22 mostly Western countries in a joint statement to the High Commissioner to the UN condemned China’s crackdown on Uyghur Muslims. However, a day later, 37 other countries signed their own letter defending Beijing’s human rights record, and dismissing the reported detention of up to two million Muslims. Nearly half of the signatories were Muslim-majority nations.
Why are Muslim majority nations coming to the exact opposite conclusions about Xinjiang as the United Snakes and its allies? Why are you uncritically parroting an imperialist geopolitical narrative invented by the United Snakes and its allies?
The US's CIA has continually funded extremist separatist groups like ETIM in order to destabilize Xinjiang. Xinjiang's response was to build more schools, more hospitals, more housing, educate people against extremism, and give them jobs. The US and its allies called these concentration camps because it was convenient. Amerikkka spent 20 years bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen. They are actively supporting genocide against Palestinians. And I am supposed to believe America and its allies is shedding sincere tears for Muslims in Xinjiang? These are the same fuckers responsible for the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. These are the same fuckers who leveled Fallujah (and used white phosphrous while doing it) after a bunch of blackwater mercenaries got killed. These are the same fuckers who used depleted uranium and gave a whole generation of Iraqis way higher cancer rates than normal, including childhood cancer.
Amerikkkan crackers love to drag out Xinjiang like ICE camps don't exist and the CIA doesn't still operate several extralegal and classified torture dungeons outside of US soil.
The most deranged accusations of evangelical psychos like were highly curated atrocity propaganda already disproven by UN delegations from Muslim majority nations actually visiting Xinjiang and concluding that a genocide is not occurring. But even if it was true, I'm not going to cheerlead for Uncle Sam or Capitalism under any circumstances. There are no doubt legitimate proletarian criticisms of China to be made, but none of these liberal lemmings are ever interested in that.
Exactly. they've been manufacturing a ton of commodities for European and Amerikkkan consumers for decades. It only looks like they're "doing nothing" because the labor of 2nd and 3rd world countries is always made invisible to 1st worlders by the obfuscation of international trade and resale practices.
isn't the entire "superfood" thing (which I agree is mostly marketing BS) just about density of nutrients relative to calories and/or unit of weight?
