Post a controversial opinion

we were somewhere on the edge of the limo crash vigil when the drugs began to take hold

What does dmac titty even mean

matt dc tribute ffs

Ohhhhhhhh loool

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a limo crash vigil must be in want of a wife.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to the limo crash vigil

people who say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" when they are told that reducing meat consumption can help curb global warming are actually just weak willed pussies who are scared of eating vegetables

People say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" ?

i wouldn't say individual actions don't _matter_, but it is a bit of a pie-baking response.

what the hell is a pie-baking response

Think a reference to this? https://local.theonion.com/not-knowing-what-else-to-do-woman-bakes-american-flag-1819566173

yep

Sorry, not controversial, but we're all fucking doomed.

^ I'm pretty sure I know the provenance of that photo. If I'm correct the flames and the golfers were on opposite sides of the Columbia River and a long telephoto lens is distorting their apparent proximity to one another. But, purely as an image, it captures a lot more than the pure facts would suggest.

Well aware of telephoto juxtaposition, but still, FUCK GOLF! (is that controversial enough?)\

Golf was well on its way to dying among younger generations before Trump. After Trump, I suspect this will accelerate. Its the sport of the arrogant and oblivious.

I've gotten on the orienteering bandwagon. Someday, drones will turn orienteering into a major sport.

The angry speech in Falling Down about golf courses being a waste of space really influenced my high school mind and I have hated golf ever since

golf is good

I don't like golf, but P.G. Wodehouse's golfing stories are almost good enough (i.e. really fucking good) to make me appreciate it.

this thread is too controversial sometimes.. yow ! burning my eyes! Although to stay on topic, last night I was rather drunk and for some mysterious reason, ended up watching a Jeeves & Wooster ep on youtube. And thinking: this might be quite good without Fry + Laurie!

Lol, sanpaku - I live in St. Andrews, and I sympathise. It uses so much space, but it’s like half the economy here. But I don’t understand people who watch it...

Space is scarce in insular Europe and U.S. coastal urban areas. It is plentiful in the U.S. midwest, the U.S. montane west, the steppes of Asia, the Australian interior, Greenland, and Antarctica.

I propose that golfing should continue, but in those places instead.

Golf is good, you can rent clubs like renting bowling balls, poor people like me can play too

it’s not about physical space, it’s about water

Then maybe let them do it on the ocean floor?

Alaska is both spacious and wet.

golf is such a wanker's game on so many levels

Golf is p cool

can actually remember turning up at a posh golf (as poor as fuck white kid) course with intentions to offer caddying services for cash. Some group of young black kids had got there before us and were shouting: " there is a queue here, you white cunts!" ahh ..the spirit of golf!

I've never had played at a "nice" course, just mangy 9holes

I like mini-golf a lot

oh, here's a controversial opinion - minigolf is a superficial and tedious sort of "fun" far more entertaining in the abstract than it is to actually play

That’s an advantage though, since if you can’t play minigolf you can get 90% of the fun by just thinking about minigolf. The last 10% is the fun of arguing

pffft ilxors have opinions on "golf"

All forms of golf are fun

Real golf is also very stressful though

I love that scene in A Touch of Sin where someone gets their just rewards for mockingly calling our hero "Mr Golf".

It would be a better use of golf greens land if they would just bury the bodies there.

The best part about golf is you get to have brewskies with your pals and cruise around in the little cart

Like eff the rules that say not to drink and cart srsly

tbf Touch of Sin guy doesn't take umbrage because he thinks golf is uncool

I know!

but fuck golf anyways!

i've been on ILM long enough to know there are lots of things that are good in themselves that only get a bad rep because of some of the people associated with them

Like Dave matthews

(JOKING)

i meant like music

it’s not about physical space, it’s about water

That's not a problem in Scotland - but I get it's a problem elsewhere.

No carts

Golf is associated with Scotland because the rules, bylaws, rituals, courtesies, self-discipline, record-keeping etc exemplify traits of Presbyterianism.

and because it was invented there
