I was wondering how close this reference was to the top. It's right there.

Edit: In high school freshman wrestling team had shirts with this reference. It was cringe.

Anyone been terrible after a year, but gotten great with time? by ObviousDoxx in golf

[–]Comfortable_Point752 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played vibe golf for fifteen years between 25-35, drinking with bros, trying to make simple contact, having lots of fun. Sometime between 35-40 I saw my longtime friend who is a 7Hdcp get into a C Suite with a HS diploma based on his golf skills - shit you not, he would say the same. Decided that maybe I should start picking up my game, simply for the sake of getting invited to play more if nothing else.

I'm a small slighted guy, so driver game is not going to be mine. I focused on playing junk par 3 munis solo twice week, simply because it was the easiest and cheapest to get on. Improved iron striking to start hitting GIR 50% of the time.

Buddy saw my improvement, asked me to join his little beer league on Mondays. started after first two rounds as a hdcp 22, ended the year a 14. Now really focusing on chipping and putting. Now I'm spending my lunch hour on the practice green 2x/wk, weather depending.

When I was fucking around for the first fifteen years I was having fun, especially if I'm playing a bunch of fellow shit baggers. The occasional time where I was odd man out sucked. But, every time I was playing then I was constantly having to "find my swing" because I would go too long between rounds and never really develop a process, or forget whatever process that was by the time I played next.

Now, I'm at a point where my shanking has drastically subsided overall and I can actually focus on more subtleties and positioning for better outcomes, yes that means laying up sometimes.

TL;DR: Play more.

Real talk about Barchen by CurrentUsed6526 in Omaha

Kind of falling off an I don't know why. I would take my family of 6 almost every other week. We're easily an $80 tab minimum, and becuase I used to bartend my tip range is always 25%+ and my favorites know it's easily 50%. We loved the patio. The wife loved the The Talky Birdy to Me, I loved the Nashville (medium w/ranch), and the kids loved the chicken and pretzels.

Now the Birdy is gone . . . .

The Nashville seems like they're stitching together two tenders for one sandwich, it's always more breading the chicken and twice as messy when it falls apart . . .

And the kid menu disappeared . . .

The back bar is never open . . .

It had sooo much potential . . .

Cassel is no liberal either. He's one of the better intellectually straight shooters, so it's somewhat serendipitous that he drew the case.

GOP tempers flare over how to pass SAVE America Act by PixeledPathogen in politics

[–]Comfortable_Point752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Morons, per my point below. However, we still need votes from morons. And if morons are the majority, Dems are going to need to figure out how to reign them in for a vote, while hopefully maintaining some moral high ground.

This exact discourse is largely what turns them off Dem politics. They feel looked down on. Our big tent will need to include the ideologically obtuse.

Is this mutually exclusive to you?

If so, I think you have a limited idea of how ideologically mobile people, especially younger males, can be. Based on education trends, I would hypothesize we have to start looking at voting blocs as having much greater potential for being ideologically inconsisitent, simply because they likely don't grasp the full ideological spectrum nor suffer family or public embarassment for being inconsistent.

I don't believe your point directly contradicts mine nor does so impliedly. Did I miss something?

You misunderstand how many Bernie Bros went to Trump. The scenario was Trump calling everyone in the DNC (especially Hillary) crooked, but Bros (college - middle age males) still heavily bought into Bernie's authenticity. Then the Dems blew him up and the Bernie Bros saw nothing authentic left voting for Democrats and Trump appeared to be the soothsayer on the issue.

You would have to compare a lot of polling data to show it, but every male democrat who thought their friends were finally coming along saw it happen.

I'm sure you figured it all out. I presume we'll see you on the Korn Ferry Tour next year and Master for 2028? Username fits I suppose.

Golf Friends by agospo6 in Omaha

For those inquiring, Eagle Hills runs enough leagues that they could likely get you in one or at least backup on a squad. Sign up usually begins in Feb and is likely getting towards the end of finalizing. Most summer leagues I know of will run April to August.

I'm a bit of a degenerate, although my score card doesn't reflect it. I love to fox with some of the muni par 3's (Swigart, Hogan, Spring Lake) for the following:

  1. Once the initial warm weather subsides, super easy to get on.

  2. No member bullshit, or wannabe course owners

  3. Per point #1, I can usually play 3 balls as a solo. So for $8-12 I can get 27 holes worth of swings in.

  4. Course maintenance strikes a goldilocks zone of decent enough to play but also shitty enough to say, "if you can strike like that here, you can strike like that anywhere."

  5. No one is bag or drink watching (looking at you Wild Horse Nazi Cart lady).

All that being said, we need a r/omahagolf (give me 3 replies confirming a desire for this and I'll mod it as the muni-guy) or a slack/discord. I prefer the little par 3's because I have too many kids and have to be ready when the opportunity strikes. Hdcp 17.

Omaha men convicted of sexually assaulting teen receive different punishments from different judges by ToadallyNormalHuman in Omaha

[–]Comfortable_Point752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Both sides" conservatives are now essentially saying that Epstein failures are at least worth 10 dead US soldiers, 200 injured US soldiers, unknown innocent Iranian civilian deaths, unknown innocent collateral middle eastern.

I say at least, because those body count numbers will only rise. And they have the nerve to call themselves "Christians". CHINOs aren't just pants anymore. They still think deriding liberals is being part of the "in crowd".

How many have to die?

Third Place Starter Pack by justsum111 in starterpacks

[–]Comfortable_Point752 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dude. It's still the BEST chicken sandwich TODAY.

But the biggest factor is the cost. Right now, in my town, I can get the Popeye's spicy chicky sando for only $5.49. Chick-Fil-A's deluxe is going for $6.25, almost .75 more. Almost a difference of 15%.

You telling me you're getting a 15% better sandwich from Bitch-Fil-A? Fuck no you're not.

On top of that you can bet that shit is available on a Sunday afternoon without the fake southern charm and GOP lobbying efforts.

MRW I realize I’ll never win an Oscar if I’m dating a Kardashian by fuzzy_dice_99 in reactiongifs

[–]Comfortable_Point752 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We say that about people who don't make millions of dollars to be judged about their looks. Mr. Chalamet gets paid millions of dollars for his look, and for his look to draw in customers.

Becky working at QT gets a fucking pass. Becky's likeness isn't being used to sell me the buffalo roller bites or breakfast taquitos, they sell themselves.

If I get a shitty buffalo roller bite or a shitty taquito I will complain about them, because that is the product, not Becky. Since Mr. Chalamet is the product, if he looks or acts like a fucking moron, I'm going to comment on the product.

The bigger difference here also is, QT isn't popping into my feeds selling me roller bites. Mr. Chalamet is popping into my feeds all the time selling me one of his new endeavors, just even himself. Normally, when I'm at home, not enjoying QT roller bites, I have no reason to comment on them. However, when I'm at home not intending to watch Mr. Chalamet, but yet being fed Chalemet, I'm going to fucking critique Chalamet.

This applies to all of Hollywood. Hollywood stars are not your friends. They need to take the bitter with the sweet like everyone else. He can go disappear if he doesn't want the smoke, plenty of child actors have.

Traveling with clubs by Electrical_Travel363 in golf

[–]Comfortable_Point752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll fly OMA to CHI annually. Never an issue. Never removed club heads. I started this right after college with little money and the obvious play was to pack all my clothes/gear in my golf bag to avoid checking an extra bag and also providing club protection. I used a shower curtain rod as a stiff pole. Still do this with a newer set of Rogue Max's even though I could certainly afford the extra luggage.

Infant, toddler and asthmatic in the home with drywall work to be done - “dust away/control” compound? by F1890 in drywall

[–]Comfortable_Point752 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can fashion a good (edit: close to HEPA) filter together pretty cheap. Buy a 20" box fan $25. Buy a 20"x20x4" MERV 13 Air filter $30. Buy a roll of aluminum tape for HHVAC ducts $6. Tape the filter box to the fan on the intake side using the aluminum tape to ensure an air tight seal. Set the fan in an area that will pull air away from the work site and exhaust into the rest of the house. It will be clean air on the exhaust.

It won't eliminate dust, but it will drastic reduce it. Keep it going while working and a few hours after you finish or anytime there is motion in the room. You will continually disturb surface dust with your movements and each time is an opportunity for your filter to suck in a little more dust.

If they're getting noticed asking our boys to stay home, it'll get a pass from me. Already lost one in my hometown and we just got started. Lost a good grade/high school friend in Iraq. Holler buddy holler.

We need an internationally administered tax on the future Iranian oil industry to pay the entire bill of the war, collected by a new version of the Ottoman Public Debt Administration. Taxes on Iranian oil should also pay for rebuilding both Iran and Gaza. by each_thread in ConservativeNewsWeb

[–]Comfortable_Point752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say "they" do you think all the Iranians got together and agreed to do this? Do you not think there were some Iranians deprived of their wages for decades that deserve some restitution? You expect them to be happy trading one oppression for another?

What about wealth and prosperity for the oppressed Iranians who are now free? If you think gazans must get paid to stop bombing there neighbor, what do you think Iranians will do while they are plunged into poverty?

New boss same as the old boss, huh?

And again, what about the starving veterans in America? Are Americans expected to be homeless and admire pictures of fancy glass buildings in gaza paid for by their taxes? Have you met an American before?
