I don’t play golf but my neighbor does. Here in Appalachia where I am the golf course isn’t even remotely flat. They actually made a pretty interesting setup hidden behind trees.

I’ve seen golfers that really impressed me with their precision. I would imagine that if you’re good at it, it isn’t even remotely boring.

I grew up with Happy Gilmore being my only VHS tape for awhile though, so I’m sure I’m biased haha.

If it's your game, do it. The people making these memes probably use computers that draw power created with coal and batteries mined in undeveloped and largely exploited nations. Their moral attempt at trying to make golf the one thing that needs to be focused on is just one of convenience because they don't specifically like it.

Most of their hobbies are just as damaging if your scope of economics goes out a couple of layers.

I must be missing that attempt. Can you please point it out?

[–] c0mbatbag3l 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry the sentence didn't really make sense in hindsight.

Essentially people love to point out other people's hobbies when they're damaging the environment but conveniently leave out all of the ways their particular hobbies do the same.

It's easy to say "insert thing here is bad!" When you don't partake in it, which is why a community of mostly computer nerds bitches about sports. It's an easy target since they don't have a personal stake.
