What's your favorite thing about your hobby? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Yeah, it's definitely not the cheapest sport. I've got a buddy in Texas who uses an app that finds him cheap golf for a like $10-$20 a round. Apparently if you don't mind playing at shitty courses in hot weather at 1:00PM on a Tuesday, you can play on the cheap.

We should probably start getting our memes ready just in case.

I've been golfing (yea, I am aware that the majority of Lemmy hates golf) a lot more recently. I enjoy that it's something that can be done with people of varying skill levels while still being fun. Ultimately, the competition is just with yourself to keep improving.

They still do have a union. It's just illegal for them to strike.

I think officially it's the "Amazon, Apple, Comcast, Google, Lockheed Martin, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir, T-Mobile presents the Epstein Ballroom".

Apparently Trump and Co have never heard of the Streisand Effect. No one would have heard about this commercial had he not thrown a hissy fit about it.

Apparently Nancy Reagan had a reputation as giving a lot of blowjobs - and I am a fan of getting my dick sucked, so that's three things.

Yeah I remember complaining about "slammed" on Fark back in the day. That was at least 20 years ago.

Wasn't used to vegetables with structure.

Lol this just perfectly described my experience perfectly. I grew up eating mostly canned vegetables. When I started cooking as an adult, I didn't think I liked vegetables. Until I followed recipes cooking with fresh veggies. The "structure" is totally different! And delicious.

Yeah, if you have no morals, you can go far in this life as a Republican grifter.

Who has access to our email addresses? (sh.itjust.works)
 

There have been a lot of news articles lately about a concentrated movement to get people fired for making social media posts critical of Charlie Kirk. I'm wondering how effective such an effort would be against Lemmy, where many of us provided an email address when signing up.

Not being an admin, I'm curious if our email addresses tied to our users names are stored in a database that only the SJW admins can access - or if anyone creating their own instance would have access to the same database

Trump supporter is done (sh.itjust.works)
 

Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

NATO secretary-general calls Trump 'Daddy' (abcnews.go.com)
 

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called President Donald Trump "Daddy" on Wednesday, reacting to the president's recent use of expletives when he accused Iran and Israel of violating a ceasefire agreement.

Early Wednesday morning during a bilateral meeting between Trump and Rutte during the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump likened the countries of Israel and Iran to "two kids in a schoolyard" that had a "big fight."

"You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two-three minutes, then it's easy to stop them," he continued.

Rutte raised eyebrows when he interjected, "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get them to stop."

...

Yet the White House continues to embrace the "daddy" title, posting on X a video compilation of Trump's NATO trip set to the tune of Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" with the accompanying text: "Daddy's home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy."
