“Abolish Golf”
Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.
A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.
That's nuts.
Ngl I hate golf and I'm all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you're just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.
Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called "Links" courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.
It wasn't originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn't exist.
ALTI think about this a lot.
may I add also “butt dial” vs “booty call” vs “bottom text”
Hand job vs manual labor

So, let me get this straight. Blizzard's plan for regaining audience goodwill with the 1.0 release of Overwatch 2 is to open with a heavily promoted PvE mission pack (i.e,. thereby reminding everyone of the vapourware PvE campaign they built Overwatch 2's entire marketing strategy around, then quietly axed once they had everybody's money), and the premise of this PvE mission pack is basically doubling down on the broadly disliked "our heroes put down a slave rebellion" PvE storyline from the first game? Have I got all that right?
of course not.
they also released it on Steam.
Huh.
You might look at that and go “wow, people really hate what Blizzard did to Overwatch” and you’d be right but also wrong. The vast, vast majority of the negative reviews are not from English-speaking players who hate the battle passes and the lack of story mode (through there are many negative reviews about that as well!), but from Chinese players.
Earlier this year a deal between Activision Blizzard King and NetEase (who distributed/operated ABK’s games in the Chinese market) fell through and in response ABK left the Chinese market altogether. This cut off every Chinese gamer - not just of Overwatch, but all ABK games.
The other thing to take into account is that Steam is huge in China. More than a third of all Steam’s users are Chinese. Here’s the daily traffic charts to give you an idea.
And ABK chose this moment - after screwing over a massive, massive segment of their fanbase and before that critical issue had been resolved - to release a game to a platform with user reviews, that also just so happens to be the single biggest gathering place on the entire internet of people who truly, deeply hate their guts.
