You and literally everyone else in the world

As someone on the autism spectrum, I don’t mind using it or hearing people use it at all, as long as it’s being used as a synonym for “dumb” and not being used to specifically disparage someone with a disability. Just like “idiot”, words evolve over time from being specific words to refer to disabilities to just general words for someone being a dumbass.

Fun useless fact: you can rearrange the letters of “California” to get “If Carolina”

If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.

Anyone who can’t pedal is also gonna have trouble standing upright and maintaining a neutral balance on a thin board

A shitpost is something low effort, that simply takes up space in the content feed without being engaging, entertaining, or interesting.

One of the primary forms of shitpost is a meme or joke that isn’t very funny, or has been reposted to death. So “shitposting” can refer to the act of spamming shitty meme posts.

One of those isn’t a benefit and the other isn’t true. Also, e-bikes are a thing

Gob Bluth rides one, which reality captured the vibe they gave for the average person.

Except it didn’t really sound promising

I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

We need more maths terminology in our regulations

No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.

Yup. The first one I remember is a concert where I went to see the opener and didn’t much care for the main act. While I was on the floor during the opening act, I was next to a girl who seemed similarly enthused about that band. We definitely both noticed each other fangirling over this relatively unknown opening act. Then, afterward, I bumped into her on the balcony while the main act was playing, and she’s like “these guys kinda suck right? I think I’m gonna head out and get a drink at $nearby_bar”. And I totally missed the hint.
