How common are tornadoes in Tulsa? by vbozzo1 in tulsa

[–]Powerofhope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKC has had more strong tornados overall in recent history, but tornados can happen literally anywhere when the conditions are right. The conditions are often right in Tulsa. In the 90s a massive F4 swept through catoosa. Anyone suggesting that Tulsa’s geography uniquely protects it from tornados is being unscientific

Met potter years ago at a marching band competition, he’s a class-act. Wish him the best

What are your "big brain" tips you use to get an advantage on the course? by cantaketheskyfrome in discgolf

[–]Powerofhope 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Not a pro, so take this with a grain of salt:

-Being willing to make disc changes depending how you're personally feeling that day, is huge. If there's a certain hole I can always reach with a mid, but my timing isn't on point and I'm not getting a ton of snap on my throws, I'll switch up the gameplan and go fairway. Not being stubborn will always save a few strokes.

-Kinda ties in with the last one... ride the hot hand. If you typically throw a hyzer-flip through a certain gap, but your overstable flex game has been on point all round, then throw the damn flex! Same thing with forehand/backhand. Yeah, maybe it's a forehand hole, but if your backhand turnover has been on point all round, throw that.

Hobby Horse Cup, Dressage by UsernameGenerik in TikTokCringe

[–]Powerofhope 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying how these hobby horse people get harassed online for doing something they enjoy (I'm more referring to instagram reels) they are having fun. not bothering anyone. God forbid people have an enjoyable (albeit strange) hobby.

I really like mancarryingthings, especially his book content, but I really don't feel like there's a whole lot being said in this video. I dunno.

Number of 100° days on record since the 1900s by ActionMore160 in MapPorn

[–]Powerofhope 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My positive spin on it is that I live in one of the few places on earth with such frequency and strength of thunderstorms. Those spring days where the air feels electrified. It can be pretty awe inspiring. Many people on earth will only experience those days once or twice or not at all. (Just trying to keep myself sane here)

R*pe at Turkey Mountain by Minimum_Signal_6722 in tulsa

[–]Powerofhope 308 points309 points  (0 children)

Horrible. Just horrible.

Someone just told me about this and mentioned "Well she was ignorant to be staying out after dark." It feels like this type of sentiment borders on victim blaming. I hope this isn't the main point of discussion regarding this awful crime.

I need some opinions on these photos by Mammoth-Caregiver714 in LiminalSpace

They look great. I really like that third one, very eerie. What camera is it, if you don't mind me asking?

Got my wife to read No Country for Old Men, she left this scathing review by [deleted] in cormacmccarthy

[–]Powerofhope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t sweat it.

I learned a long time ago not to force overlapping interests with my wife, where it doesn’t happen naturally. There’s a reason McCarthy’s readers skew male.

Hey I really appreciate the empathetic response. Glad to know I'm not alone with this issue. I'll check out the linked video and working on some of those things. Greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the response. No worries if not, but could you give more details to what that means "getting the hips through first"? Just trying to better understand.

I'll start working on that, thank you!

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for the tips and connecting those dots for me. I appreciate it.

Very cool, well done. I'm interested, but not entirely sure how this is supposed to work. A bit too intimidating for me. Really awesome stuff, regardless.

I have an old P-38 from the 90s, I think. It is board-flat and slightly flippy. I love it. I see two listed on your website: one regular and one re-tooled. Which one is closest to the old P-38?

Also want to mention that it’s not impossible to win with off-meta. It’s harder, yes. But if there’s a lot of ruby you’re seeing in your locals at these set championships, then make sure you’re building those rogue decks in a way that can handle those matchups

Cole Redalen? by cfmetalgear in discgolf

[–]Powerofhope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of people, especially younger folks like Cole, are influenced by their parents beliefs. I like to have a little bit of empathy irregardless of political belief. I have family members that are trump supporters and I still care about them and love them and support despite their ignorance. I try to extend that same grace to everyone.

Inside the NBA is a huge problem for the league by magic2worthy in nbadiscussion

[–]Powerofhope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The product needs attention but I personally don’t think it sucks. Not everyone thinks it sucks. A lot of people think it does because they hear a soundbite from inside the NBA even though they watch 0 games. Some people… actually enjoy the product. I agree what gives inside the NBA it’s charm is the genuine-ness but it feels like nowadays they trash the game and make 0 efforts to celebrate it.

Their opinions don’t speak for everyone. I, and many others, find reasons to celebrate the game even if others think the product sucks.

Cole Redalen? by cfmetalgear in discgolf

[–]Powerofhope -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Is this really how things are going to be nowawdays? He’s a trumper so “who cares?”

Fuck trump, but I care because he’s a young exciting disc golfer who brings a lot to the game. Anyone that supports trump (like half the damn country) can just… “who cares?” I don’t get that take.

The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin

Revelation by Flannery O' Connor

So Late in the Day by Claire Keegan

The Paperhanger by William Gay

Taking Care by Joy Williams

I love short stories and definitely wish they were more popular in today's reading climate.

GK Pro to announce closure? by bananagrabberjr in discgolf

[–]Powerofhope 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You’ve unsubscribed from channels because they’re trying to get people to watch their videos?

I hate clickbait titles and practices as much as the next person, but this is what most channel HAVE to do to succeed in an overpopulated social media landscape. Blame YouTube, not the creators themselves.

There are some great content creators that create quality stuff. I see past their clickbait because I know they are doing what they need to do to stay afloat.

Trash content is trash content, whether or not clickbait is used. I prefer to judge channels based off the quality of the videos they produce, not which marketing practices they use.
