I have mastered the art of knowing enough about shows from this app and a couple sports message boards to politely converse with irl friends, and I just watch YouTube all the time

Oh they annoy me to no end, but I know change starts with building community, and that’s seemingly at the bottom of everybody’s list. It’s exactly backwards.

This gets into a whole thing, but on this app, using that vernacular can be and often is used as a stand-in for doing the work, to borrow a phrase. It’s gatekeeping slacktivism, and makes this a not fun place to hang out. “Don’t use in group language to win over the out group” is just common sense.

My overall point is you have to meet people where they’re at linguistically, and nobody who earnestly uses these terms needs convincing. If you use different terms for the same concepts, there are votes up for grabs if you can make the abstract concrete.

Buford is basically a private school. My HS built its own stadium (and rubberized the track) through community fundraising years before Gwinnett County created and funded minimum facilities standards.

I let out an audible “Uh. Huh.”

The lads are ladding

I was talking with one of my women friends today and had to send her a picture of my moisturizer setup because she didn’t believe me, and she sent back “ok that’s ridiculous you’re a girl” lmao

They wouldn’t be the Mets then

I was annoyed to find my round kicky ball team was only available on cable this morning, but after getting match updates from the Sports app and seeing it ended 0-0, NBC actually did me a favor

Twitter had first mover advantage as the blog era crumbled, and that just vomited preformed communities onto the nearest platform. That’s splintering now, too, but the strongest communities (newer and older) survive platform changes.

Get paid in cash, and give ‘em a receipt. Look out for number one, because nobody else will.

This looks like a “if I get caught, and I probably will, I’m not going down alone” type deal

While I have a soft spot for the O’s, it doesn’t surprise me that a team who would trade an esteemed Brookwood HS alumnus to the Mets also has poor golf etiquette
