I’m going to get lambasted for this but I’m absolutely putting Phil on that Rushmore. His last Masters win was 15 years ago, his Open title was 2013 and obviously became the oldest player to win a major in 2021. Prior to leaving for LIV he was arguably one of the 3 most famous, biggest needle moving players in the game with Tiger and Rory. He and Tiger made “the match” a thing. And there’s also part of me that wants to point out he was instrumental in LIV, which like it or loathe it, changed the landscape of golf and exposed the issues of the PGA Rory has to be in there, as much as I dislike him. Brooks is tough. 5 majors and a cool nickname but never won much outside the big ones and wasn’t very well liked (and didn’t care). If the 5 majors gets him in, it’s only 2 more than old man Phil over the 15 year period in question and Phil beat him heads up.

Can’t wait

You are a part of the collective Trump hater group. You just said so earlier in this thread. You were blindly voting against Trump and would have voted for a brick (which you did in 2020). You have a bunch of Trump related avatars. You are sort of the poster boy for TDS You likely don’t know much about politics and just vote with your feelings. Which is fine because lots of people are like that but you post A LOT in political topics pretending to know what you’re talking about so…

the collective you, which the singular you know I meant.

very much both. You spent his 4 years in office crying "not my president" and his 4 years out of office trying to get him on anything possible so he couldn't run again and spank you

what were his biggest accomplishments that don't have to do with the pandemic which was already in the process of ending (remember Pfizer conveniently announced the vaccine the very first business day after he was announced the election winner) ?

jeez dude, wake up (odd to say to a woke queen). it WAS hilarious. Hence why people would think Ryan Gosling being black panther would be hilarious. Forcing something for the sake of forcing something is hilarious.

Rays starting to turn a corner. This is a great example of why I became a fan. Just a really well run organization that can't just buy wins. I was bummed when they traded Randy to Seattle because he is a fun player to watch and the biggest name they had, but he is batting .213 and the Rays are sitting with a +47 run differential (3rd best in the AL). They lose what they thought was their franchise player in Wander Franco and no big deal, Junior Caminero is waiting in the wings. If McClanahan is back by the end of July, it will be interesting to see if they flip one of their other starters. Zack Littell would make the most sense. Next week will be a big test with Boston and the Mets

Exactly. I actually met this girl while I was out with a friend of mine. She was there with a friend and my friend was falling all over himself trying to sleep with her friend . Then I found out she is also good friends with a group we tend to hang out with at the local bars so I began to see her out more frequently and at more formal gatherings. When I see her now, we tend to talk amongst ourselves most of the time. I remember early on, after seeing us chatting it up a bunch, an older guy in the group who has known her the longest told me "she doesn't want to fock you. you're not her type." To which I replied that was great, she's not my type either. But I already knew she did, and I knew he obviously was jealous. This was before she blatantly told me. I can just always tell because there never seems to be an in between. A woman either has very little interest in talking to me or getting to know me, OR she wants to sleep with me. Hence the realization that I really don't have any female friends and my curiosity on this topic.

Okay, I like the Marvel movies but I was never a comic book kid and I don't follow "the universe" very closely. I assume this is a joke or a troll. As someone who is tired of all the woke recasting nonsense, this would be just as irksome. Isn't the new black panther the sister from the movies?

I said female! . I believe you. That's where I was hoping the topic discussion would go but of course it turned into "i'd bang all my female friends when I was single in my 20s!" My closest female friend who I would be most likely to open up to is someone I slept with in the past, so that doesn't count... and a more current female friend who I have known for about 2 years, get along really well with, will grab drinks with, discuss movies and stuff flat out told me she wants to fock. She knows I don't want to. She's part of a friend group so I used the excuse of not wanting things to be weird rather than saying shes not my type physically. So I am now interested to see if our friendship fizzles out.

Ryan Reynolds is a national treasure!!!!! (also, agreed) (also, also... not to get too deep into Ryan Reynolds ... but I thought he was good in Amityville Horror and wasn't playing his one character)

I don't disagree with any of these picks as values. Although I probably won't be looking much at Warren and Pitts. Pacheco is a bit higher on fantasypros even in PPR (24). Kyren (13) and Hubbard (18) seem like decent values as well. RJ Harvey (27) also. Jeudy (28) is interesting if Flacco starts. Ridley (35) did well with Hopkins gone last year and now gets a QB upgrade. Kupp (45) also interests me a little. I am not big on Darnold but I think he will air it out more than Geno.

Yes but acquaintances don’t count. I’m asking about legitimate female friends. even with the “friends from our gym” I would guess those are closer to acquaintances that you only know because of you and your wife’s shared hobby and probably only see at the gym or maybe out and about and you stop to say hi. For the married geeks, I was thinking more along the lines of if you got divorced, is there a female in your life you’d reach out to, grab lunch and chat in a supportive way. That you wouldn’t even be thinking about as a rebound.

Sorry, it sounded more like you were saying it was a guy thing. You literally said women don’t typically tend to sexualize men. I disagree

Again, it’s not a question of needing to. Many of you are older and/or married. Wanting to bang anything that moves in your 20s vs. not feeling the need to in your 50s isn’t really the question here. it’s do you have genuine female friends? A female you are pretty close with who you don’t want to and wouldn’t sleep with (if you were single) and she doesn’t want to sleep with you.

So I see a lot of married geeks saying things similar to Jerry above .., “she’s passable looking, which is to say I’d hit it if I were single “ I think these statements mean that if you didn’t have a wife, these female friends would be women you want to bang… or not really friends.

So for the first part, I disagree and I think women sexualize men WAY more than they want to admit. Not as much as men do to women, but it’s there. I can’t even count the number of times I had a group a female coworkers comment about a cute client, guy in a different department, etc. The second part is why I put the preface of “if you were not married” so the answer for you is yes. You have guys in your life you consider to be friends that you would also want to bang if you were a single woman. The running coach for example. You might not want to but do you think he would want you? Marriage makes it easier to have strictly “friends” of the opposite sex. It’s easy to say “I would never think about sleeping with them, I’m married!”, but the question is would they still be your purely platonic friend if your significant other didn’t exist.

If you have a friend group (you probably don’t) and you are introduced to a cool chick who has some similar interests, the idea is you can become friends, hang at the bar, etc.

So your answer is mostly no, even in the past. That was kind of my point. If you feel like you’d want to sleep with them, they don’t count for this discussion.

fair. I have always been on the slightly introverted side and prefer to keep my friend groups smaller. I'm sure that plays into it. When i've been in longer relationships, I end up becoming friendly with some of her friends but never to the point where i'd consider them friends after we've broken up. I do make an effort to have more female friends but it genuinely seems like every time I make a female friend who I get along with personality wise and have no attraction to, they are attracted to me. Or vice versa.

everyone should have been paid out for this event as of yesterday afternoon.

Before she left the board, @OldMaid, who I always got along with (and I don't really have anything against her) made a comment that I will never forget. She basically said republicans were to blame for Biden staying in the race as long as he did because they knew he was declining and they saw it as Trumps best chance to win so they wanted Biden to keep running. The amount of denial/deflection in that post of hers is why I have come to not be able to stand most liberals. Take ownership for something for once in your life.

I would think the only true regret or remorse is in the fact that, knowing what they know now, he didn't do more to help push Joe out the door sooner so the democratic party could have had enough time to hold a primary and have anyone but Kamala take on Trump. He knew. They knew.... but as long as Joe seemed like the best chance to win, it would be brushed aside. Unfortunately, there's not much smoke you can blow up peoples asses after that debate performance. So now, it's regrettable because they were stuck with Harris.

cool 1. the 2020 election happened in 2020. Get over it. Whatever you think happened, your guy is in office again... what does crying about 2020 accomplish now? 2. Biden was mostly a vegetable in rapid decline. This is what I meant when I said there were more important things for dems to focus on rather than how to "get Trump". Imagine spending 4 years hyper focused on Trump when your own elected official is asleep at the wheel... no need for the current administration to do the same. 3. The wasting of taxpayer dollars, open borders, etc is policy stuff. Like I said, fair game. focusing on things like autopen is just silly at this point. Common sense should tell you the party is in power anyway, not the person.
