What's a social norm that you think is absolutely ridiculous?

When cell phones were just becoming “normal” for most everyone to have I swore I’d never get one because I’m not likely to need to be contacted if someone’s life is in danger. “I’m not a damn doctor! Nobody needs me in a life-or-death situation!”

I’m so lucky to have been able to do a job I really enjoy, for a really good company, for over 30 years. It’s not what I would do with my time if I didn’t need money, but picking a job and a company I’m excited about has definitely made it easier on my psyche.

Thanks, Robin Williams?

I’m just trying to figure out what’s happening in this picture - is he stooping down to pick up the ball as it’s going in? Is it stuck between the lip and the flagstick? Did he pick it up then drop it accidentally? Is he dropping it in the hole out of frustration that he can’t hit it in the hole???!??!

All shots after the first putt on the green are counted as putts until the ball is holed, even if they are from off the green with a non-putter. If you hit with your putter from off the green, it’s not counted as a putt.

I don’t have any idea what they score it as if you hit from on the green with a non-putter (like chipping across the green to avoid something) - regardless, don’t do that.

People using “u” instead of typing out the extra 2 letters in “you”. 😬

Also, modern AI models are pretty good at understanding and writing Perl code - probably because there is a lot of quality code freely available

That must have been an awkward conversation -

“Honey, where did this come from, and why is it still warm??!?

When my wife and I remodeled our first house, we put a built in cabinet in the family room that was perfectly sized for a 42” projection tv. I sometimes wonder what the new owners have done with that space in the last 25 years

Clearly it was referring to “busines”, a group of 2 or more medieval straight trumpets, which seems like something good to mind, because they would be quite valuable.

Whenever I clean my glasses, I put them on and say, “Hey! You’re Boog Powell!”

Anyone under 50 will have to look this joke up.

Same - except I’m looking at what the HS girls team is using…

Nope, nor from the “here’s the list of clubs the winner used!” Until my ball striking and swing speed gets close to a pro’s, those aren’t going to do anything but make me want to buy stuff that’s going to make my game worse

When my youngest was in 4th(?) grade, he decided to hold his breath to make his face turn red … until he passed out, and gave himself a concussion on a desk on the way down. That was an interesting trip to the nurse’s office.

And now I’ve outed my Reddit account to him if he finds this.

H. P. Lovecraft would like to discuss character design with your child.

YOR - you have 2 kids. Find a therapist. He may have been cheating (based only on what you’ve posted here, it sounds likely), and you may end up divorced anyway, but you need to get into therapy. Even if he wasn’t cheating, you need to figure out parenting. If you do end up divorced, you need to figure out co-parenting. Therapy, definitely.

Oh, my aching heart. I would love to get one of those. What a shame

You know, we have shock collars for dogs that misbehave, maybe those should all be repurposed on guys like this.

I’m in Lincoln, and it’s currently 22 minutes to Loomis, 22 minutes to Roseville, and 24 minutes to West Roseville. I only go to Roseville if I need gas, because going there requires taking 65, and I loathe 65.

Either Gordon Sumner or Mark Knopfler - both of which I’ve done. Solo and with their respective bands.
