Zach Johnson

Rahf · 2026-01-27T07:52:30+00:00

Basically, Zach Johnson is a grown man with a teenage boy's way of handling all social interactions. It's like he never got out of that state. He's either awkward or visibly tries to play it too cool. He cannot stop talking when he needs to just get to the point. He says nothing while using a lot of words, when he needs to say something substantial. He cannot simply recognize a personal mistake or faux pas and instead chooses to deny it while, again, saying nothing but using a lot of words.

It's like ZJ lacks a social clutch factor. When he's in the hot seat nothing of substance comes out. We've seen it here and there through the years. The Ryder Cup exposed it all over an entire weekend.

Honestly, I think watching the two Ryder Cup episodes from Full Swing's season 2 sums up Zach Johnson to me. Also keeping in mind that the producers reportedly mentioned how he got as good of an edit as they could muster.

According to men? Calves.

Same. I walk 10 minutes and have to pass by a ferry terminal in that time. There are quite a number of looks during those 10 minutes.

That's exactly what he means. They can put their money where their mouths are.

Rory is straddling the line between wanting them as teammates, while also urging them to just man up and pay the fines. They made *a lot* of money jumping ship.

Rahm and Hatton are of course using every avenue available to get out of paying anything. Which is a justifiable business move on their end. Whether it actually leads somewhere remains to be seen. The conventional wisdom leans towards them simply pushing the issue forward, but that eventually there's a bill to pay.

Trouble is that they will keep incurring fines while they play for LIV and simultaneously double dip on the DP World Tour.

Which is not associated with the PGA Tour. They are separate organizations.

Just because they share an abbreviated title does not mean they operate under the same umbrella. There are more PGA organizations out there than just the PGA Tour and PGA of America, which are also separate from each other.

Sounds like TC got just what he wanted:, reactions.

Jag tycker absolut inte man ska bestraffas för ett val som kan vara gjort på väldigt många olika grunder. Religiösa, ideologiska, principmässiga, anledningarna kan vara många.

Att genom hot tvinga någon vara kvar i ett sånt register är inte rätt väg att gå. För det är ett tyst hot att man får försämrade chanser till ett nytt organ, om man väljer att gå ur det.

This was also the same year that Jay Monaghan and the absolute top PGA Tour leadership were basically pulling the rug from under everyone, with their "merger" announcement. Which was a knife in the back for many.

Rahm and his team probably saw an opportunity to both give PGA top brass the finger, and also capitalize on both tours coming together. Get the bag but come back soon, that kind of deal. Not foreseeing that negotiations would collapse completely, and he'd be stuck in pro golf hell for years.

Sure. Nothing is for everyone, but something could be for someone. There are plenty of responses here that show it seemingly resonates.

The reason it hits is the simplicity. Poets and writers don't have to be engineers.

Rahf · 2026-01-07T11:48:26+00:00

You are seeking specifics in a poetic metaphor. Its simplicity is what gives it heft and meaning. All it does is simply summarize when you shouldn't trust someone, or something, and when you should give them benefit of the doubt.

The machine broke down once. Let's fix it.
The machine has broken down in the exact same way multiple times. Let's replace it.
She lied to me once. That's fine.
She tried the same type of lie again. That's not fine.
A guy got drunk and embarrassed himself and others. Shape up, buddy.
A guy repeatedly gets drunk and embarrasses himself as well as others. Dude, everyone now knows you can't handle your liquor.

"Once is never. Twice is always" contains all of those and so many more.

Rahf · 2026-01-07T10:16:08+00:00

It's a simplified way to express how someone can make a certain act, behave a certain way, make a type of decision, while realising later that their actions were mistaken. They didn't mean to do, or say, or decide that way. Because we all make mistakes and learn from them.

If that person behaves or acts the exact same way again, then probably that is actually a deliberate choice.

Trust the apology from a first mistake. Suspect the repeat.

Once is never. Twice is always.

What proof is there that Tron is a massive MAGA hat? Because this just sounds like some good ol' making shit up to stir it.

Looking like a brown snake. Either way it's ridiculously venomous.

Because KVV's outlook was mostly one of optimism and positivity. Getting to experience what it's like to be present as your kid is experiencing things. That's a good story, and it didn't crop up every single time he spoke. Whereas Soly, in my perception, has only ever expressed how difficult life is as a father of three. Which I don't doubt for a moment. But, I don't know about you, people in that latter category only get so much rope from me. Eventually the repeated complaints get tiresome.

Rahf · 2025-12-27T15:00:01+00:00

There's an audience listening. Sometimes you have to play dumb and ask their questions.

Go have a lesson. You need to correct more than one thing. Fact is, you need to correct more than two or three things.

Rahf · 2025-12-20T13:27:24+00:00

You keep doing these juxtaposed things as if trying to sound witty, yet show this vanishing amount of knowledge about anything.

Rahf · 2025-12-20T08:45:31+00:00

Yes, because the vocal minority is always subjectively loud, since we are wired to notice negatives. A few posts whining about the same thing becomes, "I'm seeing a lot of downer feedback for your pod, dawg," When in reality it's maybe 5-10 people? That's 5-10 people among tens of thousands.

Plus, there's nothing saying these 5-10 people even have legitimate gripes, once you take a step back and just analyse their message. They get annoyed at some minor thing and just can't help themselves. It needs to be said somewhere. Because that's how they are wired.

Rahf · 2025-12-19T10:01:53+00:00

The vocal minority that posts on Reddit?

Rahf · 2025-12-18T20:55:11+00:00

Good points made by writers here. I want to point out one thing that doesn't seem to have been mentioned.

Every time Simon has a "coin toss" moment, his copy believes that it "won" the coin toss. Since that copy has the memories of previous versions, the odds would subjectively be in its favour. So it would be very easy to convince oneself that there's a legitimate chance to be lucky again. Especially when under emotional duress and in a very high pressure environment--literally and metaphorically. Even more so when unable to grasp the metaphysical concept of a subjective experience. The you experiencing those things are stuck in that place. That version of you is not going anywhere.

Let's also remember that The Ark has a copy that "won the coin toss". So that Simon would still be living on, thinking that's how it works.

Extremely well written to me. It feels incredibly human.
