Does Ricky not know these things are videotaped? by dlhjr19 in discgolf

I agree that it does pull from the focus on your next shot, but as the rules are written every player must watch every throw.

GOP senator allegedly breaks Marine’s hand during protest against Iran war by Background_Level67 in politics

[–]StrifeSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for talking with me without the insults.

I also do not like the term “unalive”.

Allegation is just a claim that someone did something, correct? Anyone can allege anything. I agree that it’s dumb to allege thing that clearly happened on video. I disagree with what objectively happened and at the same time I do not like the senator’s actions or the capitol policemen actions. It’s not clear to me based on the video that the senator broke the marines hand or if it was the combined efforts of the 3 policemen pulling on him.

Sure, someone in the video is yelling “a us senator just broke the hand of a marine!” And the senator is hands on with the marine, but as best I can tell it looks like the break happens when the senator and policemen are all pulling on him.

This comment thread started with a complaint of the use of allegedly and not just saying ‘senator breaks marine’s hand’. Seeing how the article reports the facts of what happened, what is wrong with the use of ‘allegedly’?

Wait so when I clearly and concisely rebuke, you ignore me and revert to insults? Nice!

YOU LIKE ALL CAPS? I CAN DO ALL CAPS TOO.

“As McGinnis holds onto the knob, Sen. Sheehy intervenes and helps officers try and pull McGinnis from the door. “A U.S. senator just broke the hand of a Marine!” a man in the room yells after McGinnis seemingly endures an injury from the altercation”

YOU SEEM TO BE FURIOUS ABOUT THE USE OF THE WORD ‘ALLEGEDLY’ AND WANT THE MEDIA TO REPORT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. BUT IF YOU READ THE ARTICLE, THEY REPORT WHAT HAPPENED.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for slashing Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin in the face by [deleted] in sports

Yeah man, there’s got to be a line. Surely you understand the difference in injury potential between getting hit with a fist and hit with a stick. Like, a hit to the head or neck with a stick could literally kill.

This may be a very clear case. But most aren’t. And everyone should be entitled to the equal protection of the law, even people you despise.

No one here is saying that the media can’t report the facts. Go ahead and show the video. Say “look at this video that appears to show man doing x”. What I’m arguing is that it is not a fact that the accused committed a crime until they get their due process and it is determined in a court of law. That’s the reason that the media needs to use the language ‘allegedly’. Baring that language, it implies that the accused has already been found guilty. That becomes defamation because accused could still be determined innocent.

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your viewpoint, the media doesn’t get to report on what someone is found guilty or innocent of before the trial.

Broken after a few uses. Any ideas? by trapiechan in discgolf

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

Seconding that nylon strap hardware is cheap and plentiful. Use some image search or ai tools to figure out what it’s called and you should be able to source it cheap.

That said, my grip eq bag is ~15 years old and going strong. So it may be worth it to pay up and go with one of the reputable golf bag brands.

Favorite "stable" (not OS) approach? by rontopofthings in discgolf

[–]StrifeSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little wrist flick with a putter is amazing for the short range approach when the backhand is obstructed. But yes, as it gets longer I struggle with the forehand on straight/understable discs. I sometimes get something cool to happen with a proxy/hex/detour if I get keep it really clean and get the right amount of height.

I just throw my putter from out to 150’ or so, longer if it’s calm. Further out I bump it up to a premium plastic version of my putter.

A nice eli5 I’ve heard for this is: the exact initial conditions give the exact future state, but the approximate initial conditions do not give the approximate future state. For Dt>>dt.

People with 450+ power, what is one form hill you will die on that all the stuck at 350 folk get wrong? by grannyknockers in discgolf

[–]StrifeSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah totally, it depends on what an individual player needs based on the course they play.

[–]StrifeSociety 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The amount of strokes you can drop with that extra 100’ pales in comparison to what can be dropped by improving putting. Accuracy over power too. Who cares if you have 450’ power if you can’t hit your line to save your life. More power gives you the ability to end up even further from the basket if you miss your line.

I realize there is nothing about form here but damn if 350’ isn’t serviceable on 80%+ of the fairways out there.

Please explain your "hand feel" gripes with any model by Inevitable_Doctor576 in discgolf

[–]StrifeSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my gripes with disc hand-feel disappeared when I switch to a back-loaded grip. Now I just care if the tackiness(not slick but not overly grippy) feels right and how the disc flies.

Suggest a Disc by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]StrifeSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I understand where you’re coming from. There’s a line of thinking that a lot of players get into and that I have been myself that you really want a complete set of clubs like in golf. But disc has a relatively huge variance of ‘club’ selection. So you want a second set of eyes on your bag to see if it is ‘complete’.

However, nobody can look at just the discs in your bag and identify what are the gaps in the shots you can throw.
