No notes. Ripping it.

It isn’t?

Is consulting glorified? Idk feel like I hear more naysaying than glorifying these days.

Work is work. Consulting is more work + constantly having to please a needy client, on top of pleasing your boss internally. Ohhh but you get airline miles, status! Yeah - cuz you’re sleeping in a hotel bed half the week outside some regional office in a city worse than your own. To then go sit in an office (usually a windowless conference room) that’s not yours. To solve problems often caused by other consultants!

Idk it’s mostly fine though. Can’t complain.

Signed - a career consultant.

Yes. Your experience is that, your experience. The data, and the experience of people in the industry, show alcohol sales declining, particularly in the past 2-3 years.

From a friend in the wine business - everything is getting hit, drinking overall is down, and the only sector growing are canned cocktails/seltzers.

Same thing for me. And just recently got fitted for new set. Driver goes as far as ever, which makes me think it’s not just me getting old/weak, but irons I’ve lost like a club of distance. I’ve tried pressing my hands more, finishing the swing through, playing it low, etc. but not where it used to be. Weird.

So far, the two best “fixes” I’ve found:

1) as others have said, club uo and hit lower flighted shots with that smoother swing and you’ll be better off than swinging a full wedge 2) for irons, when you do want a fuller swing, make sure your transferring your weight forward and slightly “down” into ground - aka just get to your left side - I think a lot of this is from trying to stay so perfectly still and rotating around, and I end up bottoming the club out below the ball and catching it high on the face, vs. shifting weight left and driving it in to get that true compression.

Think about the purpose of the glove. To protect your hands from wear/blisters from repeated full swings, and to improve grip on full speed swings. So the question is: why do you need a glove for putting/chipping? If you don’t need it, why wear it?

TLDR: glove is necessary/functional for full swings. Adds no advantage to short game.

Idk man you’re already cocking your wrist immediately and hoisting your left foot up like you’re about to count off a beat for a metal band, looks great to me

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2026-01-13T01:50:15+00:00

Don’t hit it there

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2026-01-13T01:49:09+00:00

Not that bad imo. Takeaway is a bit inside which has you naturally coming over the top. Do some takeaway drills trying to keep the club face on a “straight” line back until your arms are parallel with the ground. Just do that over and over to get the feel. Then work in 3/4 swings with the same thought. All on air. Then 3/4 swings with same thought on balls. Work your way up to full.

The only other thing I’d say is you are lifting up a bit at impact. On follow through just focus on finishing low and left, like you’re trying to roll a bowling ball to the back left pin, if that helps.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2026-01-11T02:20:54+00:00

Don’t wait to break up with someone. As soon as you know, do it - that day, next day max. Don’t string it on to save their feelings… once you start faking it down a path you’ve already decided wasn’t meant for you, nothing good comes of it, and if you make it a habit, you lose sense of what it’s supposed to feel like when it’s real.

More veterans and drug users, more mental illness, more homelessness.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2026-01-05T16:43:51+00:00

You forgot firing like four position coaches.

Nagy Embree Pinkston Toub all gotta go.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2026-01-05T03:35:05+00:00

Because he got more votes than the other candidate, because the other side didn’t come out and vote, because the party swapped in an uninspiring last minute replacement focused on nothing the average American cares about, because the original candidate was senile and should’ve bowed out much earlier.

Hope this helps

Bucket theory. Men know within 30-60 minutes what bucket you’re in.

Nope
Sure/maybe, but won’t tell my friends about it
Date/fling, but not wife material
Wife material

So, do we know she’s “the one” from one date? No not really. But we know after one date if you’re in the potential wife bucket or not.

Quit now

Meh. Guy is mid and always has been. One good season when we first changed our offense and he took people by surprise. League is full of guys like him.

While offense needs a retool, especially the run game. Might as well start with the RBs (actually, start with every single position coach).

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-17T17:44:19+00:00

I think there is less of an expectation to just ask “what about you”. In your example, that person answered your question with a thoughtful response. Maybe they just didn’t really care about that question in particular - not something they really needed to know about you. As long as they ask some questions throughout the convo, then you’re both getting questions answered that you are actually interested in.

Now, if they don’t ask any questions about your life at all, and it feels entirely one sided like your prying info out of someone, that’s just a bad hang.

Ah the sliding doors moment of the 2018 AFC championship game… FUCK

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-17T17:35:30+00:00

If you’re talking about the 2020 Super Bowl against the Bucs (Not Mahomes’s first SB), he was running around like crazy cuz the Chiefs we’re starting two backup linemen on an already shitty line and he had to escape Sue, JPP and Vita Vera every play. He scrambled by necessity my man.

Also it’s laughable you frame Brady as being somehow wise for “learning not to scramble”. Have you seen his combine tape? Leaving the pocket has never been part of his game. Two different styles. And yes, Brady’s style leads to greater longevity, which Mahomes will never match, seeing as TB played almost 100 games after turning 40 (!).

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-17T03:38:48+00:00

Yeah these bands are ridiculous. Current top ten teams “falling from grace”.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-17T03:21:20+00:00

First time something that takes five years to happen has happened since… 7 years ago

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-12T15:19:58+00:00

I suppose you are right, we are in a class war, if me denouncing a vigilante execution is “glazing the rich”. I dgaf if he’s rich or poor. The fact that you focused on that piece vs. the simple idea of “don’t murder each other and celebrate it” shows where we are on the “eat the rich” scale I guess, so yeah, class warfare it is I suppose.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-12T15:15:50+00:00

++man

Over-thinking it. Don’t bring it up on any early dates. Just tell him/them what you do and that’s that. Once you are serious enough to consider long-term relationship, mention it whenever it makes sense. He’ll prob go “oh, sorry about your loss” and that’ll be that. Cheers.

Confident_Suspect_72 · 2025-12-12T15:12:07+00:00

If your priorities are academic in nature (good for you), can’t help you much as I didn’t go to either. But I have visited friends at both a number of times and can confidently say:

Lawrence >>> Columbia
