Just shot my worst 9 holes of the year… 47 on par 35 and it is amazing it was that good. Confidence is shaken. :laugh:

I got a PS5 for shits, pretty much just because I'm bored and they're difficult to get. So it's on you motherf***ers.

Anybody have good ideas on first games to get? With the caveat that I don't like your average multiplayer FPS'.

NHL22 looks like it's currently on sale in the store, so I might as well get that. Beyond that, I was thinking maybe GT7, FIFA, and eventually F1 22.

Embarrassing isn't a strong enough word. Our leaders are failing, pure and simple. This problem shouldn't be so much worse than other countries.
I have many words, but also noticed the mod warning in the title. So, I'll leave it at that I really wish America would go back to being our huge steroid riddled big brother that would defend us no matter what instead of a crazy older brother that may stab us in our sleep :)

We can't even buy baby formula from you, because of the isolationist approach from some of our leaders.

Steroids taken over a long period of time tend to make people insane.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a copy-cat. But yeah the deinstitutionalisation of the mentally ill in the 70s-80s without any plan is what set America back big time. You got a pretty big psychological problem with more people that have mental problems out on the streets and in public life than in places where they can get help (I'm not talking about locking them up, just to get help).

The same scenario happened in Africa, once all these colonist nations decided to leave and give all these countries their freedom, the lack of support or planning for the take over to a local government allowed corrupt leaders to eventually gain control and initiate dictatorships or amoral governments that we still see to this very day.

My 11 year old graduated from elementary school this afternoon. My 5 year old graduated from kindergarten. Then we come out of the ceremonies all proud and happy for our kids hard work all year, to see this shit again... I cannot even imagine the agony of losing a child at such a young age to a broken culture. That's a hurt that can never possibly heal. When you become a parent, your entire world view flips and you focus all your love and energy into the kids. When they are gone, there must be this huge void, everything will remind you of them. I don't believe in thoughts and prayers cookie cutter responses to this shit. Those are empty words after Sandy Hook and everything that has happened since. This country is sick, and broken, and backwards. I see no way out of this.

This kid was planning this for a bit... he bought his gun at his first chance that was prior to Buffalo.

This is a complex issue that will need to be gone after in a multitude of ways, but here's the thing. We actually need to start tackling the issues. If it is mental health, well fix healthcare. Legislate that mental health coverage has to be covered. Get people covered. Subsidize rural areas so they have access to mental health care (my area is severely lacking resources). Attempt to fix the damn problem. Same with gun control. There are simple measures that the vast majority agree with that can be taken today. Start fixing the damn problem. As a country the US has to start taking steps to fix these issues where ever they stem from. It won't be perfect, but at least trying is the first step.

Personally speaking, if somebody is actually planning this, they're not straight in the head. We need a bunch of everything to change, harsher policies, full psyche for guns, go after the black market at a more unrelenting level, and hell arm administrators (no idea should go under the table at this point). But you can't underestimate the psychological aspect of the human's drive to kill, people will always find other ways. Just look at what happened in Japan, no gun policy and dude burned down an anime studio.
