Golfing is a reflection of golfers' sexual life. Prove me wrong.

I'd have less trouble with them if their sui attempts didn't involve riding a couple of tonnes of metal where everyone else is.

I could've abandoned this cursed game if not horsey <3

I thought I pasted it in the article field while posting it. Wtf.

I thought someone could do a compilation of these and you didn't miss the opportunity to do so, thanks.

Having a wish to skip this place and settle elsewhere that became nearly impossible for mid income people like me, I'm astonished, overwhelmed by a thought these assholes had every place on Earth but got out of their way to immigrate there. Could I've just exchanged places with them to face the horrors of woke, dying western civilization in order for them to enjoy being the citizen of the bestest, proudest country of the world? - I'm willing to make such a sacrifice to make them happy. The guilt of being wrong somewhere in the past, so intense it wakes you up in the middle of the night plenty years after - is a laughing matter compared to what these dumbasses willfully done to themselves, and I wish the newest guy and everyone coming after them to face all the consequencies of their brilliant decision.

Imagine a cyclist who came upon some birds blocking the cycle path, pulled out a pocket knife, and started stabbing them so they could get through 20 seconds faster.

Not to deny the overall message, but now I want to see a comic strip about that with an unhinged cyclist telling car-persons' arguments in the most weird way while trashing the poor bird with any next sentence.

CYCLIST: Let me tell you about a cycling efficiency. Keeping a speed doesn't consume as much energy as constantly speeding up and slowing down, as in the jam you've selfishly caused. When I'm hopping on a bike I expect to get from point A to point B in a set amount of time, on a speed aknowledged by the road signs if not a bit faster, as set by a road authority. The infrastructure built exclusively for my mode of transportation doesn't consider surprise deviations, and as a daily driver I should not care for them too. There are two types of obstacles, and I'm completely in my right to drive over those I couldn't predict or couldn't see in time as it's their own problem that unlike type 2 obstacle they haven't made themselves visible for me to react as it's their responsibility to do so. That is not an isolated instance I'm angry at, but a systemic issue that I shall double down on every occasion because giving them a step means they'd take a mile from us, cyclists, the cowboys on gears. Allowing you to jaywalk like that on my lane would mean losing the world I love and brought up to be in. You are a destroyer of the cycling civilization, and it's only you to blame for what's coming to you.

Only extra rich persons could've created such an unsustainable and boring sport. I can't see it as anything else but a networking context for the elite class. I mean, compare it to proletariat's bowling, but instead of staying on the lane with everyone else (and many people from the other lanes), you can travel alone or in a small company of co-players, naturally isolated to talk about business stuff sub-rosa.

Gameplay-wise and comparing it to bowling once again, it is that random - by terrain types, weather - it lets people playing it save face while failing at it. Unlike different kinds of balls you can instinctively take for your liking by just weight, the set of clubs is not intuitively obvious and 90% of players don't know what to do with them all. While golf is akin to an archery contest slowed down to a slog with, basically, one metric - how many turns it took to complete the course, bowling has 10 pins and a variety of outcomes with two tries each turn all going into the final result.

Darts has deeper mechanics and is more fun. Snooker is too about taking balls into a hole but you compete with other person directly. And that's a problem with these people: they don't need a skill-based sport-like game, they want a background activity that lets them socialize with select persons while having a premium rich-person experience, with restaurant\resort service, expensive clubs, golf carts and young boys carrying\driving it all for you to hit a ball once in a while.

It should die off with many of it's avid 'players'.

Content becomes a lot bigger in size while we get too used to getting it immediately. I could've laughed and how I set a PC to torrent overnight in pre-100MB times, but with games liberally crossing 100GB line I can see myself going back to that.

Disadvantaged by having elon.

I swear, every one of my lichess opponent is like that.

Both of your hearts are in the right place. That's a lot. Cherish that.

My hope level is so high it's neck breaking.
