Why does everything seem to be made into some kind of competition?

[Mr Kobayashi]

people are obsessed with looks and likes, you see them on twitter and tiktok , the younger generation are fucked, it's about time us foc had a cull of the young twats,

I was gonna give you a like for this but didn't seem appropriate.

There are Goals rammed down our throats all day long. Fit-bits telling me ‘I smashed it’ when I sleep for 8 hours, or walk 10,000 yards in a day (av. speed 0.36 mph) - even Apple Books setting me goals about how many fucking virtual pages I should read. ‘Yeah, I totally smashed reading Paradise Lost today. Did it in 2 hours 45 minutes!’

As the guru says - “don’t stay at work one minute more than you have to”.

You don’t have to wear a Fitbit and you can read real books at your own pace…

its all advertising, and the advertisers are winning, its not about how many steps you do,its about buying that must have watch that will keep count of your steps, get the app that tells you if youve had a good nights sleep, i dont need an app for that,im either fucked or im not, i don't need a fit bit to tell me i should be asleep rather than prancing around the airport at 4am in the fucking rain :)

im just as bad running around the roads thinking im the new superman because ive got a pair of trainers with a swoosh on it

Plus ca change.
As the Stones wrote in 1965

“When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me…”

It was nigh on impossible to get cool clothes when I was young because the shops were miles and miles away with online ordering not a thing. Now it’s the click of a button and it’s yours. Add photos on social media and we’re looking at an answer.

.As you get older you need different shafts to enable u to play to your handicap.

Correct

Due to the people "running" my club being a bunch of wankers, they wanted to get rid/slash his wages, of the club pro.
Every member was told to empty their winnings from their accounts, so I panicked. I've been playing for 40odd years, 30 of which to a decent standard, but I've only had a handful of brand new clubs in that time.
I've just splashed out £460 on a Ping G430 with a lighter, less stiff shaft to what I was used to. My driving has improved, no end.

Pro stayed, and his wages weren't dropped, thanks to a member's revolt.
Season ticket holder, too.

Glad I bought the club, though

What a finely tuned hell we've created. The amount of serious unhappiness is VAST.

All to benefit a tiny number of people


As you were.
