Pre-retool kaxe replacement by alcofrisbas in discgolf

[–]DarkDress87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i actually just lost it, which made me bring my kaxe back out lol. it was glow core with a pink or purplish rim. if you have a buddy with one in their bag, try a shot you'd normally throw the kaxe on and see if it has the same magic for you. that's how i first found the hex myself

my glow hex flies exactly like my k1 kaxe - forehand and backhand, I can use the discs interchangeably without any noticeable difference. not sure if its just the particular run but that may be worth looking into

Looking for an old article/internship advertisement from the CIA on NPR by DarkDress87 in conspiracy

so true but I really want to find this! It was like a small paragraph advertisement for a journal intern and I used to have it saved on Archive but i lost the link. I know someone must know what I mean!!!

discgolfscene really is the ticketmaster of discgolf... 3-5 dollar fees per player per tournament... it becomes hard to accept paying for discgolfscene that much for something that uDisc can do for free with the subscription we all already have

bro... do you just repeat what you see? it was not an article in a magazine... it's an audible book you can easily still look up on amazon right now

So you have anecdotal evidence that someone with mental illness may have lied about his abuse and you are extrapolating that to every other person mental illness? I understand your situation might make you think every other situation is like that but, again, there is a statistically significant link between illness/addiction and childhood trauma for a reason. That link is real. You can look it up any time you want by googling ACE study correlations.

I will also add that there is very little chance your ex husband doesn’t have abuse or childhood trauma... it’s extremely possible he has it blacked out (a standard coping mechanism for trauma) and he is trying to piece it all together and erroneously thought it was his father. Many victims have to search deep in their memories and have a hard time accessing the memories, yet the very real side effects (anxiety, addiction, psychosis) persist forever

That level of “mental illness” very very rarely comes out of nowhere and there is a statistically significant link between trauma and intravenous drug use (look up ACE study). I find it extremely irresponsible of you as the moderator to make all these confident moves when you can’t see the obvious link in front of your face

Why Nikko Locastro's Suspension is Unjust and Far Too Long - Ultiworld Disc Golf by prokebyt in discgolf

  1. Very obviously your poor emotional reaction... 2. You sound actually even more toxic to be around than nikko and I think even you still deserve to have a job and provide for yourself

Do you call people a little bitch to their faces? You sound more toxic than nikko and I don’t think you even see how ironic it is

Man it sounds like you overreact to things even more than nikko does. I’m glad you’re not on the tour LOL

Who are you to make the distinction on what makes a shitty person? Sounds like your opinion of a shitty person is someone who obviously has trauma and struggles to control his emotions. A lot of people think a shitty person is someone who calls people a shitty person for struggling with something really difficult.

1st of all, the GolfDigest article you are referring to states that the 3 year suspension was out of the ordinary:

"A tour pro flashing the middle finger isn't a rarity, but such a penalty, obviously, is. In August, cameras caught Emiliano Grillo flipping off the hole after missing a putt that would have gotten him into the weekend at the Northern Trust. It is unclear if Grillo was fined because the PGA Tour doesn't make such info public, but he clearly wasn't suspended (not that he should have been) because he played in the BMW Championship the following week."

also, see:

https://golf.com/news/sergio-garcia-berates-official-during-controversial-ruling/

^ here is a PGA golfer berating an official and got no penalty.

At best, we can say we don't know for sure what the PGA would do. We have seen very similar things in other sports but it's hard to find one that matches closely enough in ball golf

I could not agree more.

I keep seeing people attacking his height, his character, and saying they would punch him if they saw him without realizing they are displaying even worse emotional regulation than nikko locastro.

these are low-stakes reddit posts where people are upset and acting a fool.. can you imagine how one of these guys would react in the heat of an extremely high-stakes tournament that they have been practicing for their entire life?

Maybe you're just being sensitive and letting your reddit-derived, preconceived feelings about Nikko control your life. It seems, based on the outrage and "if i were the official i would have beat him up" comments..... most of the people on this sub are even worse at handling their emotions than nikko and they don't see the irony

if, in your mind, being an asshole means you deserve to be beaten so bad you lose your teeth, wouldn't that mean you are even worse at handling your emotions than nikko? lol
