While I am not the previous poster, that’s certainly how I’d describe it. The “I am euphoric” types who care only about the circlejerk.

Looks like brutalism to me. Not sure if there might be some more specific subcategory I’m not familiar with, but generally anything using big geometric slabs of concrete is brutalist.

“My friends, you bow to no one.”

Have to fight through the tears during that scene sometimes.

1. Remove the backdoor no ball. It does not benefit the sport but puts a lot of stress on bowlers bodies, knees in particular. The most commonly injured body part for bowlers. They land with 6x the impact of their bodyweight on one knee 6 times an over, like 20 overs a day. No good.

I can get behind any rule that exists to protect the players. Sports are inherently physical but they shouldn’t endanger the athletes.

One of the reasons why I have a hard time getting behind boxing/certain martial arts as sports, it just feels like slightly more sanitized gladiatorial combat.

Admittedly I can’t see why it’s that surprising, the format is almost a carbon copy of Reddit.

When I think of old forums, I think of the chronological-only format with no voting. There is a top post in a thread, and all replies that follow are a single chain of chronological posts. No nested threads of parent/child comments that help keep conversations more organized, and no upvoting/downvoting which affect the sort criteria.

Not to mention older forums are usually directly admin-managed throughout, as in not just anyone is able to start a subforum/community on their own for a given interest within a site that they then moderate and can appoint their own co-moderators for. There’s a site admin or admins, and maybe a group of admin-appointed moderators who help manage the entire thing.

Lemmy is the only platform I participate on. I do occasionally check some niche subs on Reddit for hobbies and games I follow for news/suggestions/ideas/etc., but no idle browsing and no contributing, not even through votes.

I also sometimes pop onto Reddit just to manually edit and delete more of my comment history, because the automated tools are apparently only capable of seeing the past year. Once I finally get through everything, I can delete my account, but it’s a slow process with years worth of content to remove going back to 2010.

Same here. I try not to nostalgia-hole myself too much, because I don’t want to fall out of touch with the state of things and end up like a crotchety old person complaining about how great things used to be.

I found myself caring less and less about newer games, and thought I was just getting over gaming in general. But when going back to replay some old favorites on a whim, I realized I still enjoyed them just as much as I used to. I don’t know if it’s a style thing or just the difference between physical-only and newer digital release models, but it does feel like they don’t make games like they used to.

That’s exactly what I did, blocking them out of respect rather than frustration. I browse /r/all and, more than a couple times, found myself about to leave a comment in support or agreement with something there, only to remember what community it was. I liked seeing their posts, but was worried I’d eventually accidentally butt in without realizing, so I blocked the community from my feed.

Like other users here mentioned, though, I’ve seen that the mods are generally polite and professional, and have even left some of those supportive “as a man” posts up (while reiterating the request not to post again), so they’re not going out of their way to straight-up ban people unless there is either immediate disrespect or disregarding the rule after the warning.

Nursing. There is still a stereotype that nursing is a women’s profession, while men are supposed to become doctors.

Doctors seem to have much less of a gender divide than before in defiance of the stereotype, but nursing is still a profession dominated by women.

I think that might be a misreading, they have no humanity in deed, not in essence. They weren’t born subhuman, they are choosing to be.

I’m not going to give the genociders the benefit of the doubt, at least.

Not surprising, Donald Trump hates trams people.
