There's also the likely chance that keeping it suppressed for this long is going to backfire as it looks guilty af.
I made the mistake of switching on the afternoon news and it was nothing but "No collusion! Totally exonerated! MAGA!" And a dumb headline about the report totally clearing everything no collusion ever.

So the media's already doing their best to fix the narrative. We get the report in a week, month, whatever and everyone will already say "oh that one said he did nothing wrong! :downsgun:"

Statistically, everyone who came into the job market during that time is feeling it and will feel it for their entire lives.
Personally speaking I took whatever job I could get, then got a slightly higher (2 bux lol) paying job later that I've just nestled into. The idea that you come into a job as a fresh faced newbie and just rise up is so foreign to me it might as well be moon fiction.

I was at a retreat once and a career architect said he hadn't had a steady job in almost 4 years (roughly 2012 at that point) so in the span of about 5 seconds I went from "oh everyone was affected" to "lol i'm boned for life since I don't have 10+ years of experience :yeshaha:"

He's just doing that to muddy the waters and get his dumb falsehood on record.

He also said he super researched things independently so that's not much of a defense.

Golf is a very fun low key fuckoff "sport" that can either be an excuse to walk around some greens for a few hours and shoot the poo poo, to meticulously hone your form to make marginal improvements, or to just have a reason to get some drinks and drive an electric version of the jumpy-rear end truck from the Halo games.

Unfortunately the barriers to entry (greens fees, complete club sets, atrocious water/land usage) and the people attracted to the clubs that care for courses don't make it accessible or worthwhile in our hellworld.

There are parts of the country with public courses and Goodwills selling sets of used clubs for nothing. It's possible for golf to be cheap and accessible, but rich people are reclusive assholes.
The Goodwill sets I've seen are usually in the $30-50 range (bag included). It's not a several-hundred dollar set of Titanium Graphite clubs, but that's still pricey. Considering most of the courses I've seen have the caveat that each player needs their own set, it can be daunting to get into. There's also a bit of keepaway due to dress codes and whatnot that newbies can find offputting.

Though you're right, if you're looking hard enough you can find a way to play.

Creating a different track to success for a certain class of people to prevent them from competing with the children of privilege is the whole point. It's about as likely to lead to long-term success and happiness as dealing drugs and/or becoming a professional rapper, maybe worse. When you say "you should idolize THESE people" to one group and not to another you reinforce the racist power structures that lead to people having no options.
You also have to deal with the friction that is caused when a PoC excels in a sport that isn't "traditionally" seen as being in their milieu, and the threatened dickless shits that go after them for not keeping in their lanes.

See Venus and Serena Williams dealing with bullshit about their physiques or play styles ("why must they grunt and create such a disturbance :monocle:"), Tiger Woods' skill being reduced to "So good for a black person"

You also see this weird narrative spring up were the Parent was sacrificing everything and pushing their kids to succeed at the sport (they would drive 3 hours to the nearest court and the kids had no summers ever starting at age 2), whereas similar regimens in other sports (swimming or gymnastics or ice skating) aren't cast similarly or other athletes just kinda fell into it almost naturally.

The Biden thing made a round on the Radio and it was infuriating listening to the morning crew (Frosty Heidi and Frank) go at it.

Same. My old work environment was very friendly and I'm selective about who I let touch me, which kind of turned into a running gag for a while. It almost always made me feel like a weirdo autist who should just lighten up.

Eventually at a staff lunch it came about again and I just blurted out "how do you know people like that haven't had some kind of trauma or abuse?"

Drew had some shaky tendencies but used to mostly stick to semi clinical diagnoses. Like "you have an addictive personality and are seeking thrills through your bad relationships now that you're sober."

Modern Drew is all about the attention and being the Adult in the room which means he's over extended to disciplines he has no reason to speak on and it's total poo poo he let Benji ramble on without shutting him the gently caress down.

Teen Mom is probably the least harm he's done in a show. Celeb Rehab was loving atrocious and exactly the kind of thing he would be aghast at were he 90s Drew. Like didn't 3 people from the first two seasons end up dead or super hosed up???

Fox news was still a den of vipers and opportunists preying on the fear of a populace whose first brush with vulnerability since loving Pearl Harbor or Vietnam left them mushbrained.

Stewart kind of hosed us by making us think that laughing and being smug Smarter Thans about the administration would somehow break their hold over everything in that era... but at the same time it was his MO as a comedy show to do so. Maybe they could have pushed back harder, had more liberal guests, and had a more diverse cast following 2002ish. The landscape was just dire with shits like Mo Rocca being Colbert Lite and their entire talent roster looking as white as a GOP intern photoshoot.
