Yep. Any time I’m around people who love football.

Any time I'm around people.
It’s golf, for me. I simply cannot imagine caring. But golf is somehow immensely popular with a certain type of career-oriented person. Anyway, solidarity with every javelina that has ever destroyed a golf course, and I hope they do it again. Fuckin hate golf.
somehow immensely popular with a certain type of career-oriented person.
Speaking as someone who loves disc golf for similar reasons I think it's two things
-
It's a place where you can constantly improve at, and see that you're improving at it, while also being impossible to master. So career driven people who get something from improving there craft and getting a promotion will probably get a similar feeling from improving there golf score.
-
It's mostly just walking and talking, so you can do your networking and dealing in a place much more pleasant then a board room.
I feel like golf is a networking opportunity first and sport second
It's also just an excuse to walk around (stoned) on some nice grass
I'm aware it's a huge waste of water
The parent you're responding to specifically said 'disc' golf...which is a bit different than traditional golf --
1 - it's usually in parks (that are being maintained, but probably not watered...at least around here, I don't think any of our parks have an irrigation system...they are all just climate-appropriate land-/hard-scaping), or literally "in the woods"...the courses I've been on have been through nature trails, or sections of woods that were cleaned up (mostly of underbrush, saplings, and low branches).
2 - It's more fun to walk around and play stoned. In fact, I think that you have to be stoned to play in an actual league game. It's practically written into bylaws.
3 - Less professional socializing/networking. Mostly because everything about it is the antithesis of office culture.
A lot of business people like to play golf with other business people to see if they cheat and how they handle issues that come up. It's a great way to see the real person behind their golf game, it's hard to hide crazy if you're super competitive.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Ugh all the time. I’m liberal, well educated, and nerdy. Notice my use of an Oxford comma! I also happen to live in a rural town in Texas. I play pool in a league and let’s just say kindred spirits are few and far between.

White and cis passing, the amount of out of pocket shit I hear when im in a group of white people is mind boggling
I'm guessing this means that, in your experience, white (or only cis white?) people shit-talk each other behind each others' backs more than other racial groups do?
I'm a straight, white and middle aged person and its crazy how many other people of the same demographic just assume we share their bigoted fucking views. Perfect strangers dont even feel you out before talking about whichever "them" they are bothered about. Its shockingly common.
They shit talk all minorities
Like the other reply said, any minority is liable to be shit talked about. Recently I've been subjected to a lot of second hand homophobia at work (I haven't fully come out yet)
I have not experienced this, but I wouldn't associate with people who speak that way or treat others that way.
Linus tech tips discussing his private plane or high end hardware nowadays...
Nah, but i thought that while reading this tweet... Does that count? 😅
Sitting down with 99% of my colleagues during lunch. "Playing the links", fantasy football, ai-generated memes, or how much wealth they have. Christ read a book or something for Christ's sake.
Yeah it sucks. Everyone is into brainrot ai content these days.
That's normal.
That's why we talk to each other and learn about each other's interests.
You know.
Socialising.
Every moment people at work talk about how excited they are to retire in 20 years, or how happy they are to have hit their deliverables this quarter
For me it's people at work talking about buying or upgrading their house :(
Me looking at my family full of conservatives (and borderline fascists) conversing, fully aware that i could've been killed if that day i decided to present myself with painted nails:
"... and I wouldn't want to. "
not on purpose, but the folks in the break rooms are almost always that loud
My extended family. It's either (slightly) conservative older uncles and aunts or its my beautiful, successful, married with children, living in their own houses cousins.
I love them all (and there are many of them). They are good people. But I feel disconnected from their lives. Not only am I one of only two who have moved far, far away from home, but I am also the family black sheep, a little envious and I just don't share in the highs and lows they all share with one another simply by them all being married and parents and their lives completely orbiting around that.
Yes, it's called The Holidays(tm)
You mean every moment of every day of my goddamn life?
It's odd I can't stand being around people at work talking about perfectly mundane things that should be relatable.
But when I'm with my friends i'll listen to them talk about their weird niche hyperfixations, I could listen to them for hours and not once find it unrelatable.
I sometimes hear the words coming out of my mouth and think, "Damn, if me from 20 years ago could hear me now, they'd think we have nothing in common."

Yes, I call them family.
wait, isn't that normal?
I have. My whole life. But I find it fascinating, usually. Especially since I've overall been very lucky to integrate easily.
I'm lucky I've rarely been in a group I found repugnant. Not sure how I'd handle that.
You will never guess but: people are multifaceted. 🤯🤯🤯
