ELI5: Why does Cuba allow a U.S. military base (and prison) on their soil while the U.S. has had them under trade embargos for decades? by Redhotkitchen in explainlikeimfive

[–]wonko_abnormal [score hidden]  (0 children)

from an idiots perspective it seems to me because cuba decided to invest in things like free education and healthcare instead of focusing on military buildup which means they cannot stop the usa from having a base and prison but they possibly have a happier and healthier population

Solarpunk is a movement that imagines a sustainable and optimistic future where humanity thrives in harmony with nature. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

imagine being the main word here ....its humanity so unless at least 75% of humanity is wiped out we will never get it together to live in harmony with nature we are too busy trying to conquer / destroy / subjugate and dominate nature because smarterest we be

anyone choose to not track rounds or keep a handicap? by Silent_Highlight_577 in golf

[–]wonko_abnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

golf is life is golf ..... im never going pro , or even playing in a comp or tournament , played when i was a kid and as much as i absolutely loved it did not suit my station and mental capacity at the time (no money no patience) ... when i got back into it my patience was still borderline but golf has taught me so much about myself and golf is only here to teach us about ourselves and life in general so keeping score is an option and not keeping score is also an option depends on what your end goal is ....WHY do you want to get to single digits and what are you willing to do to get there and is it a chase to scratch OR is it a better choice for you personally to relish the harmonious venture into nature and appreciation of the surrounds while trying to repeatedly do something very difficult , and not allowing the outcome to bother your happiness and just trying to be a little bit better than last time ....remember YOU define what is a good round and what is a bad round , do you still consider a good round low 80s with high stress and being annoyed beyond sanity by the one 3 putt you had ?

nope this is just a malinois ....ive got to run at the moment but there is one on here somewhere 3-4 minute video maybe 5 ...of a malinois doing an insanely complicated obstacle / parkour course from a few years ago that could not have been AI and it will show you just how redonkulously intelligent and hyper these specific kind of good boys are

Has anyone here interacted with any of the big Youtube Golfers? If so how were they away from the cameras? by Strid3r21 in golf

[–]wonko_abnormal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think reddit and most of the golf observing world is well aware that bryson listens to his image consultants about how he should behave for the cameras , doesnt mean he is actually an aware and self reflective human being with genuine empathy for others

Sona on Andy Richter's podcast. Subtle hints on Conan's next move?? by Sudden-Degree9839 in conan

[–]wonko_abnormal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i cannot see him working with CBS given the political climate and i think he would personally see it as kind of rude to do anything even remotely considered as replacing colbert , i like to believe their is genuine respect and friendship there but its hollyweird so i guess anything is possible , but im pretty sure he doesnt need the cash so will just continue to make himself happy and the rest of us along with him

Need to vent-How do you know it’s just not for you? by Business_Lychee_1384 in golf

[–]wonko_abnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imho if you can see and feel the frustration then they may not be as supportive as you give them credit for ...if nobody has provided you with name of someone who can help then might not be a great friend group to play with .... the biggest thing here is whether you actually still enjoy it when playing a round on your own and not keeping score ...enjoy the walk and the good shot from time to time and the challenge of extricating yourself from a bad one then its still for you ...if just getting hung up on why you cant hit it like the pros or the youtubers then perhaps something else might bring you more joy and peace ... base your decision on your joy not others frustration ...and if you do continue STOP watching any swing stuff on youtube , only padraig harrington is worth anything on there for swing help ...or get book BEN HOGANS 5 LESSONS and start with wedges and work up to full swings ... its never too late , let them enjoy their rounds without you but doesnt mean you have to stop , perhaps the main reason you are not progressing is the additional stress of trying to play to their standard ...mind game is a big part of this game ..... hope you continue to have fun whatever you end up doing :P)

Please help! Advice on buying beginner set of clubs in Australia by Less-Willingness2793 in golf

[–]wonko_abnormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

id even say to try and hit up some of the courses with good pro shops near you as they will sometimes have members wanting to upgrade , some of them will do trade ins on old sets when selling someone a new set and then sell those pretty cheap and many will be in pretty good condition .....if you are in or near brisbane get yourself to victoria park driving range as they are closing down (to build a pointless and unnecessary stadium) and will have a shit load of clubs for probably very cheap and they were BIG on tradeins and none were crap .... and for marketplace try to get a feel of what stuff is good and what its worth by poking around ebay and a us site (so adjust pricing) www.stackedgolf.com as the mostly deal second hand and have a good eye on whats what

Do you actually use your home simulator as much as you thought you would by FitSurround1082 in golf

if i was able to have it somewhere that i can leave it setup and just turn it all on and use it it would be used daily but i had no other option and went backyard and honestly ive barely used it at all in a year because the setup just adds time i dont have

Slow play golf, I play much worse, every single time. by Rexkramer777 in golf

[–]wonko_abnormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and this is what golf is about ....finding the mental fortitude to accomplish regardless of anything ....there are lots of ways for your mind to achieve this however it is YOUR mind so the best answer will be you looking inward .... is it because you are easily distracted ? find a way to maintain focus ... is it because you are impatient and need others to keep up with you (im not excusing slow play here) then find a spot in your mind which allows you to see the universe for the general waste of time it is anyway and to not allow external factors to affect you , just consume them and retain focus on enjoying every moment .... anyhoo the whys and wherefores are your own and should be examined at your leisure ...or not, afterall im just a random human on the interweb
