If other sites are anything to go by, drama. Nothing but complete and total drama. Stats are ok, but only if they support maximum drama. Play analysis and tactical discussion is completely unacceptable.

Good luck trying to sell the epic Tolstoy novel “And”

That’s not what Alakazam is talking about here though. Just by owning land, it generates money, magically, from “nothing”. And then the vast majority of landowners use that as excuse to entrench their wealth and then you get… Waves hands at hyperinflated rent crisis what we’re all stuck in now.

Whether someone wants to be one of the “good land owners” or not doesn’t change the fact that the system is set up for the ones that want to exploit it

Hey that’s awesome! Sounds like you’re off to a fresh start.

Yeah, and I’m also not extracting grandma

You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.

After reading your post, I’m more on the side of following beehaw to the format that suits them best. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t finding those quality posts here after a while, and what you said about them being quickly pushed out in favor of new content makes a lot of sense.

Although I came here through the rexodus, I agree that the Reddit style format still carries a lot of problems that I’d rather not keep, and it’s important to have a quality space I can post (also because I’m trans and need those spaces too)

I do still feel a need for the dopamine rush of cat pics and memes, so I’m not sure if there’s a way to hybridize that with a forum? If not, there’s always burner Lemmy accounts (or Tumblr lol) for that

This reminds me of that time Hemmingway tried to write a story with as few words as possible and came up with:

Baby shoes, never worn.

“I have to work 3 jobs to make rent and health insurance”

“But look at the numbers! We’re almost at full employment! Isn’t that great?”

Soft rain and an umbrella

Problem with all of this is, life expectancy is going down, and we know they’re not just going to kindly lower it to accommodate us. Look at what happened in France this year just to keep it at the same age

Thanks for these posts, it’s a nice little reminder to check in with myself. Ups and downs, but mostly good. Feels so nice after a long day to relax playing the new Zelda. I don’t care if I ever beat it, I just want to run around gathering mushrooms and stuff, it’s so soothing for me.

Or don’t teach your students working class history. Don’t want to give them any ideas make them think that going on strike is cool

Its different, it’s that feeling when your music, which you know is absolutely fine, gets shat upon by christian conservatives who believe it’s evil. But then throw in the cops and the government which historically and systemically shut down your opportunity to even play or listen to it and give more opportunities and legal benefits to those people who play pop.

And you’re just trying to listen to the music you like, while every step of the way it gets way more difficult than it needs to be because it’s systemically rigged for you not to be able to listen to it. It’s exhausting.

edit: grammar

You don’t have to put rainbows on anything if you don’t want. I don’t even use rainbows!

The main thing is, when you hear someone in a cishet group spouting homophobia, be the one to say “hey that’s not cool”. Lots of people say they’re allies and put it on their social media and whatnot, but where it counts is just being able to stick up for us like you would for any mate when the time comes

If I’m being honest, the only thing that would be strange to me is why wouldn’t you consider yourself an ally? It sounds like there are are a lot of important people in your life who are LGBT. I guess if you’re wondering about perception, someone who has a lot of queer friends but doesn’t want to stand up for them usually rings alarm bells in the LGBT community. Not saying that’s you, just in general.

But I will say from personal experience, allies are like gold for me. Love them all to death.

And no worries, I feel like it’s a respectful question. Hope you can keep learning!

My deadname started with an “m” so I just started going by “em”, which was also one of the gender neutral pronouns floating around at the time, and it just kinda stuck. Using it makes me feel agender euphoria :)

It’s interesting, mindfulness and meditation really weren’t that popular, at least in a mainstream way, before smartphones got popular. I feel like a big part of why it blew up was pretty much because people were feeling overwhelmed with modern multitasking and needed an outlet.
