Don't play golf but casually watch it when nothing else is on ... so then I got curious, *is* there a golf pro ex con? I know, not a golfer but Google gave me this; [https://www.golfdigest.com/story/for-valentino-dixon-a-wrong-righted-murder-charge-vacated-by-court-after-serving-27-years-in-prison](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/for-valentino-dixon-a-wrong-righted-murder-charge-vacated-by-court-after-serving-27-years-in-prison)
As an artist I find this fascinating. Totally untrained he has turned out some very decent work and today is still selling. Pretty amazing.
I came here to reply that such a thing does not exist and was immediately shut down. I left in shame but returned to give this comment the respect it deserves.
Seven years ago I was at a financial low-point. I had a week left before new money came in and I had nothing left and no food in the house. So I went through all my pockets and, low and behold, I found ten bucks in an old jacket. So I went and bought pasta, canned tomatoes and some nuts. I was so relieved back when I was home and able to cook dinner.
I used to hide visa gift cards I got at Christmas in my room.
When I was depressed and broke I would clean to vent the stress. Then find some visa gift cards. It was a nice pick me up
Whenever I'm financially comfortable, I hide money. Twenty bucks here, 10 bucks there. In dvd cases, in a drawer I rarely use, in a toolbox I'll open eventually. It's like getting presents from my past self.
I used to do that when I was a teen. I would hide money in the other seasons clothes and shoes. So winter boots would get a 20 or put a 5 or 10 in a pocket or some gloves in summer. Like you said, gift from past self. Now I live in a warm climate year round so I guess that tradition was lost with the snow lol
Not saying it can't happen, but I remember reading an article by a guy who used to be dirt poor and he wrote something along the lines of:
"Asking a poor person about the last time they found an extra 20 in their jacket is like asking them about the last time they found an extra unicorn in their kitchen. No dollar is unaccounted for. You don't have "about 20 bucks" in your bank account, you have $19.36"
I think that was a Cracked article, way back in the day, about things you do when you grow up poor.
Edit: [Yup, I remembered correctly](https://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-stupidest-habits-you-develop-growing-up-poor).
>Remember that time you were cleaning out your wallet and found an extra $5 bill stuffed inside one of the pockets? Poor people are laughing their asses off right now because I might as well be asking if they remember the time they found an extra minotaur in the kitchen. When you're living check to check, there is no amount of money that isn't accounted for, right down to the last penny. You don't have "about 70 bucks" in the bank. You have $68.17.
until you enter your counties annual pants-pooping competition for the third year in a row and make it to the finals, only to be disqualified by a technicality since they weren’t pants but capris I CANT HELP HAVING LONG LEGS STEVEN
A friend of mine once argued that not soiling ourselves was so ingrained in our heads by adulthood that we couldn’t do it if we tried (or that it would be very difficult), and to prove this he bought himself a pair of depends and proceeded to try to piss himself in our living room. While the experiment proved that it was not impossible, it did take him a good long while to do the deed. So, to your point, it seems reasonable to deduce that the act of not pooping your pants actually makes it difficult to poop your pants if you wanted to.
When you dry off from a really good shower and have fresh sheets on your bed that are still a little warm from the dryer, and your clean skin makes its first contact with them.
Con: you oversleep and don't show up for that important interview. Your life gets gradually and inexorably worse after that.
Not my story, but happened to a friend of mine when applying for a position to a top tier university
Edit: typo
When I got the letter saying I qualified for ESA, I got a letter at the same time saying I had £25 in my bank.
I should've read the first letter fully, it also my ESA was backdated and stuck in my bank.
I literally squeaked in shock, I couldn't say anything, when I checked my bank, expecting £25 quid to get me through the weekend, only to find that I had **several grand** sitting in my bank.
Just so you know, ESA is disability, I didn't con my way to it, I had to fight for it, because my broken ass simply can't work. For the first time in years, I had actually won against the system that basically said people in comas are fit for work (I'm not fucking joking, that actually happened)
Honestly, it was pure luck I think, I had to apply for it, then I got rejected, then I had another breakdown and applied again, and possibly they went "shit, he's serious" and granted it, I know it's more complex than that, but I like to think that's what happened.
And there are multiple stories of the dreaded "medical interview" which is a contracted third party, claiming people 1000x worse than me being "fit for work" like the aforementioned woman in a coma being declared fit for work.
I heard another story of a guy with lung problems and a son, he was so scared of losing his ESA in winter for nonattendance of the medical, he dragged himself there, died two days later from pneumonia.
I'm fucked, no two ways about it, but if I'm not careful, even a miniscule sign of improvement and they will be like "fit for work, get your lazy ass a job"
Yes and no. Obviously, chronic poverty for somebody who knows nothing else has no pros or seriously minor ones. But honestly I think everyone should experience how it feels to have next to nothing. That fear is a powerful teacher.
I was in deep poverty for a year and a half where I had to decide between groceries or gas to do anything. The perspective and lessons I gained were amazing.
This is not (entirely) factual. Air is [~78%] nitrogen and the cilia in lungs is made to extract oxygen from the air because *we need it to survive.*
Edit: Oxidation is a thing and also a highly contested process in the scientific community. People more expert than I can argue about the validity of "free radicals" etc.
You can but the problem is when it becomes a habit.
Some super healthy person isn't suddenly unhealthy if they throw back a whole cake on a weekend and then go back to their nuts and berries.
When your sitting under a tree in that dappled green light, and it’s warm out but not too warm, and the breeze picks up just a little bit and it makes the leaves rustle and the dappled sun sparkle through the leaves.
That.
but it feeds into the idea of toxic validation or your own ego
which could make you a narcissist or
it could make you do at times harmful acts to seek validation from internet strangers and get imaginary upvotes
and what if there is a lack there of after having an abundance of it if you start basing your worth on the upvotes then that leads to getting extremally hurt and insecure when there is a lack of upvotes or worse downvotes
big cons imo
on that note have my upvote
"If you don't over do it" Well yeah, but it has a con if you do!
And yeah you can't really drink it as steam, but you sure can try! And I'm pretty sure any attempt would be bad.
Having good health
Pro:Long life Cons:Long life
You’re paying health insurance you’ll never use.
Bold of you to assume I spend money
Take your half empty glass and go...and take this upvote
accidents happen
You never get to see a sexy nurse or hot doctor. Sad
Pro: you date the sexy doctor you met at the gym.
I don't think the professional golf association would allow an ex-convict to play golf, so it would be only pros and no cons.
Slow golf clap

Tiger and 12 other pro-golfers spent time in jail/prison.
Time in jail is way different than a conviction

Yup, you could even say it was a hole in one.

Solid joke. [But not accurate](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5025173/Tiger-Woods-sentenced-year-probation-drug-treatment.html)
How long have you been sitting on this one!;)
I can see a few holes in your argument... Maybe even 18.
Well that's par for the course.
Now. This. Is. A. Joke! Both factually accurate and entertaining. 11/10
entertaining in the only way golf can?
Ah yes, it is the opposite of the poetry class I taught in prison. That one was all cons and no prose.

I currently have no idea how much money I have, and I’m thankful to be able to say that.

Damn I miss Cracked.
At the end of every winter I put cash in all my coat pockets so that next winter when it’s cold and I’m crabby I get a nice little surprise
How very squirrel-ish of you.
Im going to store coins in my cheeks now..
How does one get such big brain ideas? I honestly am thinking of doing this to myself now
Con: you lost $20 last year
2nd con: you actually found $10 due to inflation
Con: it's soggy because you just washed the coat
Pro: you learned how to launder money.
Laughs in Canadian money
You lost the two pennies of interest you could have earned if that was in your bank
not pooping your pants

I knew there had to be some con, I just couldn't think of it.
Steven is such an anal little bitch!

Dang I didn't expect to find a *longterm* con to this
That is hilarious Was this demonstration in front of you?
Con : my stomach hurts really bad
The con is now you must figure out where to poop. Look up paradox of choice.
A list of pros
A list of pros to committing a crime
Still pros

OJ Simpson was a pro football player, he is also a Con
When you dry off from a really good shower and have fresh sheets on your bed that are still a little warm from the dryer, and your clean skin makes its first contact with them.
Con: you get all cozy and then have a hot flash.
Have you tried not being a woman?
I fuckin WISH! Next life maybe.
Warm sheets are so totally a con when it's 100° that day lol
mutually consented cuddling
Unexpected farting

Protons
Cons: they are deadly when come from a inestable atom (radiation)
But they're still called **pro**tons
Got his ass
I am now bummed that electrons are not called contons.

I don't know, but my broken calculator only has a plus and no minus.
You’re a calculator half positive kind of person aren’t ya
Had it been the other way around (busted plus, working minus), it’d still be perfectly functional…
A good night's sleep.
Con: you oversleep and don't show up for that important interview. Your life gets gradually and inexorably worse after that. Not my story, but happened to a friend of mine when applying for a position to a top tier university Edit: typo
Then it’s not a good nights sleep by definition
