A misguided article.

But the average Trump supporter, with his hatred of coastal elites and preoccupation with law and order, likely despises the Patriots with particular intensity, for their extremely coastal and extremely elite (again---Wesleyan) and distinctly cheater-ly approach to their sport.

I was driving on 59N away from the stadium and I saw a giant limo bus being escorted by a huge police force and if it wasn't a 50/50 chance at being the Falcons bus as well I would have sacrificed my truck and probably my life for the cause

On a completely different note I really want to time travel back to 2006 or so lay down a series of bets that TIger Woods will have no shot of beating Jack Nicklaus's major championship record.

Or maybe a few years earlier to tell everyone to stop paying attention to golf because...jesus it's golf.

I kinda wonder what the tv viewership numbers for golf / tennis are like. Because ESPN focuses on those two sports pretty heavily, and I know they have a large following among wealthier people, but I don't think I've ever talked with anyone about either sport outside of when Tiger Woods fell down. Like, hell, I know plenty of people who enjoy golfing (hooray company owned golf course) but nobody I know appears to pay any attention to the PGA.

Rich people spend stupid amounts of money on golf poo poo, and the companies that make golf stuff price it all sky high so it maintains its value as a prestige product. Tie that in with golf clubs being super exclusionary expensive places for rich dickheads, and the money flows.

I actually read an article recently that touched on this. Costco awhile back started selling these super cheap golf balls (I don't rememeber which article, so just google "Kirkland golf ball") that turned out to be overstock/rejects from some high end manufacturer and people found out about it and bought all of them up and scared the gently caress out of golf manufacturers.

Parts of the switch seem cool and Splatoon was one of the best games but man does the motion controller stuff and paid online for how bad nintendo is at online make me hesitant to buy it.

Also Zelda Link to the Past is one of the greatest games ever made and I've avoided playing any Zelda game since then since they're all inferior.

Ocarina of Time was the last one I played. It was really good.

My biggest concern is games. I hope there are lots of good, creative games.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
A Link to the Past is the best Zelda game.




I like Ocarina of Time though.

Majoras Mask is the best Zelda game but it's definitely a weird game that i understand why some people cant get into it

OoT is a classic and probably my favorite since it was my first

WW is good but overrated the dungeons are boring and poo poo

TP is average. Really good stuff in there but surrounded by mostly mediocrity

SS sucks

Links Awakening is best handheld fight me, even better than Lttp

New game looks like a big pretty empty map which will devolve into not actually doing anything but running around killing small mobs to get supplies. There are like 100 mini dungeons and 4 real ones. Gonna be copy paste repetitive poo poo, There i said it
