Classic networking issue.

Holy crap, that’s fucked up.

Fans expressed disappointment after learning the feature would not return. One listener wrote on Reddit, “Their league was really entertaining.”

Maybe nerd is too specific. I just mean “online people” I guess. But I personally have a focus on tech, games, video, etc. It’s something I’m increasingly self aware about, after spending the time since 2020 more online. Including in synchronous online spaces.

The spaces I’m talking about felt very different to me 15+ years ago. And the synchronous space I’m talking about felt very different 9 years ago.

Anyway, you’re not wrong. Your framing is still the people I mean. And now I see their type around me in more spaces. And yeah, it’s funny how it’s always a baselsss ban.

This screenshot is a nesting doll of bad.

Don’t fucking use Kalshi as a news source. GFC.

This is one of my biggest complaints about Lenny lemmy. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔

I really feel like Lenny amplifies and concentrates it in a way that makes it more visible at times. And GTA6 is an example.

Join and come.

Yeah, it’s like they never saw it on TV or something.

The artifice of it didn’t work for me. It felt like it was imitating the aesthetic motions, and not necessarily doing them earnestly.

It is just a comic book show, yeah. But I couldn’t get past that vibe.

The stuff about it helping with various addiction situations is real. But I don’t suspect it’s a good idea to use it off label for that. Just that it’s one of the many side effects.

I think a lot of people think they have ADHD when they really have roller coaster blood sugar or very high A1C.

And I’ve come to believe this based on lived experience. I now think a small percentage of the uptick we have seen over the last few decades of people believing they have ADHD, or getting diagnosed with it, is due to this.

People should probally be screened for metabolic issues when they are being assessed. Especially if they are coming to it as an adult.

Just returning them. Awesome. 🤣

See my other reply. It’s a good question.

That’s a great question. And I don’t have an answer for large open platforms.

It does make me yearn for smaller local communities that are actually communities and not just open spaces anyone can slither into. You know? It makes me realize how online spaces are not healthy. They were fine for a fleeting few years. But now they are co-opted and nasty.

It’s an aspirational statement without practical easy action to take, yes.

They always use the word “trust” for the manipulation of Reddit conversations. Fucking ghouls.

We need vetted online spaces that keep that shit out.

yolo mindset 😒

USA! USA! USA!

Awesome, good to know. I’ve never done such work myself, but I’ve always wondered how people manage it.

muskmaxxing, I presume. (Hope)
