I feel like one possible future where I go to jail is when a conversation goes like

Me: "That thing you're doing is unnecessary, bad for the environment, and bad for society."

Them: "But I like it"

Me, screaming "BUT I LIKE IT" while I punch them in the face over and over and over and over.

Liking something is not a trump card that supersedes all other concerns, and yet some galaxy brains act like it is. Much more respect for people who can admit "I don't care about the environment or society" out loud.

I absolutely believe my crotch rocket (of which I am a rider) and AR-15s (which I am a owner) are in the "But I like it" category. Will society be better without them? Absolutely.

well put. and the worst part is the chuds who want to use public funds to pay for their habit - get FUCKED with that garbage, it's a racist, shitty waste of a 'sport'.

Not to spoil your righteous rage to much, but in the retirement community I live in the courses have a duel purpose.

If it’s dry people play golf.

If there is a hurricane or flood or rain event, they function as retentions ponds.

Seeing a golf course turn into a lake in a single day is an awesome sight.

No rivers or swamps around here to soak up the rain. So the whole place was engineered on purpose to use the courses.
