Kid’s gonna turn 40 and immediately start complaining that that 9 hole isn’t properly rated and he’s really more of a 12 index.
We’ve reached end times.
Recently watched a TikTok video of a kid explaining how you can “game” the handicap system.
Says to find a course that you play well, choose the front or back nine, and then exclusively play those nine holes until you know every inch of it.
GHIN accepts 9 hole scores. So voilà. You’re now a single digit handicap.

if you want to understand the modern content ecosystem, here it is.
very simple explanation as to why this will continue to happen & why this will obviously proliferate to movies too.
capitalism esp when paired w/ very sophisticated tech like feeds + ai optimizes for elimination of friction at all costs.
tiktok/reels have almost entirely eliminated three primary forms of friction: 1) discovery friction, you literally don't have to decide what to watch 2) time friction where gratification arrives in seconds 3) relevance friction. this is the most critical. since the pool of content is much larger & the algorithm on top is much more sophisticated it is continuously more adapted to your current emotional state, prefs, & behavior like nothing else.
netflix cannot remotely pull any of this off even if they have a really great recommendation system. & more specifically the creators on these platforms have gotten much better (the production values of creator content is through the roof & it often feels very professional, just look at some of the pods on here for example).
also there is a huge clipping phenomenon that is leveraged by creators for both commentary & showcasing what's actually worth watching in both streams (clavicular) & regular tv shows too. e.g. i watch almost all sports highlights through this creator on tiktok (his name is gavin something). he is awesome.
most ppl used to reach for netflix when they door dashed, now it's much much easier to just open tiktok/reels.

Tag somebody this would work on.
"Primetime" director Lance Oppenheim bribed Robert Pattinson to star as Chris Hansen by sending him 200 Zyn canisters and a note that read: "Dear Chris Han-Zyn."
“Rob, at the time, was grappling with a Zyn addiction,” Oppenheim told Vulture, noting there was a Zyn shortage in the U.S. at the time, so Oppenheim recruited a friend in Canada to send 200 canisters to Pattinson’s home in Los Angeles.
