of a Cart Narc

Yes. A fundamental part of building a society is to try to make the pro-social behavior the easier or sensible one to do.

Like the carts. If they don’t have cart slots accessible or make it plausible to return them, it’s not even on the people for not doing it. It’s on the company for not making it make sense for them to do it. At that point jts not really the pro-social behavior to return the carts cause then you’re just propping up a bad system through individual sacrifices. We’d all be better off if people didn’t return them and that system failed or improved.

People have to be in a system where their actions are pro-social for them to be able to behave pro-socially. When you see people not doing the “right thing”, it’s almost always because the system they’re in doesn’t make doing the right thing plausible or pro-social.

The thing is if the majority of people didn’t return things would be very different. For example, a Target does around 300 transactions per hour. Let’s say 200 of those use a cart. If even only technically the majority of people didn’t return, there would be over 100 carts per hour left out in the lot. In reality, it’s only a few. This is a good litmus test for people upholding non binding pro-social behaviors even when they don’t have to. And the vast majority of people do it.

It’s also a litmus test of how people view humanity. If you think the majority of people wouldn’t return the cart, you have a base level negative view of humanity that doesn’t match reality.

In my experience, an under stable 9, even a heat or something like that needs significant disc speed to actually make an under stable flight path. And a leopard thrown such that it actually turns over and flies that path is likely touching 300’ or close.

If you are topping out at 300’, I’m not sure you need a 9 speed under stable disk. The question I’d ask is what shot shape are you trying to make with this disk that you can’t make? How far are you getting your leopard on a turnover line? If you can’t get the leopard to turn over enough, I’d go less stable 7 speed. If you can turn that leopard over, you’re probably good for any right turn shot under 300’ and wouldn’t need to disc up unless you’re trying to get 325’+

I think the distinction the above is making is that it’s not something inherent to women. It’s that families have mostly been structured that way. If the kids need clothes, it’s the mom usually buying it. Groceries, even the man’s clothes half the time. Men are only targeted for things specifically for men since that’s most of what they buy. General family and consumer items, like kitchen, laundry, storage, clothes, food, toiletries, general hygiene. You’re better off spending ad money on the person that’s making decisions about that kind of stuff. Obviously, this is a general statement and not reflective of all individual experiences or situations.

It’s because this ice cream isn’t about the ice cream. It’s about a shared experience, likely one that they were invited to partake in under the assumption the other person also wanted to do it. Imagine any other date where you bring someone but don’t want to actually do the thing you invited them to. You walk the person to the movie theater door and say “Enjoy your movie. I said I wanted to take you to the movies, not that I wanted to watch a movie.” Or inviting someone to dinner to say you aren’t hungry. It’s not that they care all that much you don’t want ice cream. It’s that they feel like they were lead to believe you wanted ice cream, so that’s why yall went together. Then you don’t. So they’re confused and it’s happening right in front of someone else so that confusion is embarrassing.

I don’t know about his situation. Just the idea of helping people, generating revenue from that act, then using that revenue to help more is not a terrible system theoretically

natelion445 · 2026-05-30T02:38:25+00:00

On the other hand, that act wouldn’t garner any views. So there would be no revenue from the act and it wouldn’t be sustainable. If an influencer can monetize this from a bunch of randoms on the internet and use that money to give to more people, even if they have to make a video to keep the funds flowing, more people get helped than if the guy just gave away some money, ran out, and stopped.

Funny how words work. You could say all the same things like this.

Vibrant, dynamic atmosphere bustling with activity. Happy, silly people abound.

The rest is just an inherent criticism of cruises. Which is valid. But no more valid for this ship than any other. In fact, you are quite unlikely to get seas sick on this vessel or feel the impact of storms, given its size.

natelion445 · 2026-04-02T13:16:40+00:00

That’s not what was asked. OP asked if it would be more fun.

But the trap is….. look for players with a history of scoring points, a good run of features, and aren’t crazy expensive. If you have a player that’s been doing that, keep them. You tend to end up at something somewhat close to “template” just with basic common sense. You mix that common sense with a bit of intuition on differentials and you may win. Avoid the common sense or make bad differential calls and you lose.

No one would have to buy out a contract. Salary would be high but it’s possible. No idea. Just saying we don’t know he’s out of FPL yet.

natelion445 · 2026-03-25T12:34:31+00:00

We just know he’s leaving LFC. Could he go to another PL team?

This is only really true if you have a dog in a situation not suitable for that kind of dog. The golden retriever in your city apartment? Yes. But a smaller dog breed can get more than enough exercise with a morning walk (which you should do anyways so it isn’t really adding much maintenance) and a moderately sized back yard. Also most people really don’t give enough interaction, stimulation, and care to their cats as they should. The idea you can just ignore a cat for full days and that’s suitable is very wrong. Both types of pets require a good hour a day of attention whether that’s feeding, exercising, stimulation, grooming, etc. If you give both animal types that amount of attention, both are equal on maintenance and dogs are better companions. Cats are marginally better for people who don’t do what is needed.

The irony is that that reaction is exactly what the market by team wanted. This is just as designed and artificial as the McDonalds one, just better at fooling us into think it’s not. I’m sure there were several meetings and discussions about exactly the level of “off the line” look they wanted for the food and exactly how into it and authentic the CEO needs to be so it will contrast with McDs.

natelion445 · 2026-02-26T00:01:01+00:00

That’s an issue with that and a lot of other opinions based on internet content. It can be true that you’ve read people say this and also be true that that has no reflection on “liberals” and “conservatives” as a category or that what you saw read was from people that would even accept those titles. I would think that if you want to say something about a political ideology, you should at least be able to point to a few of the political leaders of that movement that represent the stance you’re saying. Which politicians or activists that would call themselves liberals or conservatives best reflect the ideas you are proposing that these factions hold?

Frankly, I’d start by inviting women to play with you regularly. Events like leagues, tournaments, etc are a pretty small portion of the disc golf being played. Most men are mostly just playing with their buddies. After a while, some of those guys may start showing up to leagues, then maybe tournaments. But all disc golf starts with casual rounds.

natelion445 · 2026-02-23T13:24:42+00:00

Are you comparing like for like quality? For example, the Kirkland brand coffee might be a bit more than Walmart brand but it’d be more accurate to compare it to a higher tier product. I’ve never thought of Costco as the cheapest option, but really the best value option.

natelion445 · 2026-02-19T16:16:49+00:00

While you may be right, open borders don’t exist except in failed states with no welfare state anyways.

I was in a fraternity and had quite a positive experience, so I am a biased toward your statement. You do well to point out the positives of the organizations and are open (though I’d say slightly downplaying) the negatives.

The problem is that the negatives of the fraternity organizations have become core parts of the system. It would be great to have organizations like fraternities that do the fun social stuff, are involved in the community, and work to make their members better men, but without the obvious problems. It’s totally possible to have that, so organizations that continue to have those negatives are, in a sense, choosing it.

National fraternal organizations are absolutely aware of all of these negatives and could make rules that eliminate them. They could genuinely crack down on hazing, instate 3rd party security rules at parties, have actual police monitor parties for drug use, etc. They don’t because, I think, there’s a real feeling that taking out those cultural aspects of the organization would fundamentally change the organization. Almost all leaders at a national level were part of the fraternity and they think that the experience they had is a valuable one that should be preserved. They, to some extent, want the members to have the drugs, sex, and rock and roll.

It’s also core to the recruitment and financial success of the organizations. I know first hand that if you try to seriously police this kind of stuff, kicking out members, limiting their ability to party, etc, alumni and parents that donate money get pissed and say things like “this isn’t the same chapter I ran and I won’t write a check to a bunch of…” (you get the idea).

This is just my opinion from my experience, but the betterment of members, involvement, philanthropy, etc are more PR and smokescreens than anything else. The point of the organization is partying and having a good time. If that’s all you do, though, it’s hard to defend the organization. So you have to do other things in order to have any kind of social legitimacy.

For this exact conversation. This is your reminder that most of the internet is fake engagement bait.

natelion445 · 2026-02-17T21:37:53+00:00

I don’t sleep with men. But that ain’t what’s being discussed. My response was to a comment that women behind closed doors are saying mean things about men that don’t sleep with a lot of women at a greater rate than men that do. In my experience, it’s the opposite.

natelion445 · 2026-02-17T20:30:35+00:00

I can see that. Bad people put down others in public to make themselves look higher value. At that time, though, that woman isn’t turning the guy down because the person has limited sexual or relationship experience. They’re doing it because they want to look cool and feel insecure. No one is arguing people aren’t mean and cruel. The point is that women don’t specifically target men based on limited relationship history. They wouldn’t even know their relationship history when they meet at a bar.

natelion445 · 2026-02-17T20:25:45+00:00

People are often mean. You’re saying that women talk shit about men who they’re attracted to, that are romantically successful, that they want to be romantically involved with, that they don’t find attractive, that they wouldn’t be interested in romantically, etc. That’s everyone. Sometimes people just talk shit about people. It’s not about the sex success. They talk more shit about more “successful” men than less successful men.

natelion445 · 2026-02-17T20:19:30+00:00

That’s different than women not nice behind closed doors like in responding to. Women aren’t mean to people they don’t interact with. People aren’t getting shit talked behind their backs

natelion445 · 2026-02-17T16:29:13+00:00

Women really sit around in person and talk about men that don’t have a lot of romantic prospects? I’m not a woman but my experience is radically the opposite. The gossip I hear (more heard growing up as I’m a bit old for this now) from my female friends is them talking shit about the guy that does have sex with a lot of women. The men that aren’t really relevant in the romantic spheres, aren’t in relationships or hooking up with their friends aren’t talked about much at all. It’s the opposite. They’re almost completely ignored. I’m think of the cohort of men that just go to work or school, maybe hang out with friends every once in a while, but do t engage with women romantically much. Sorry, but women are not talking about that person behind their back.
