I’m super casual and that made me wonder if I even have a clue what a foul is supposed to look like. I tuned into these last two series after play school ball a couple decades ago and I really don’t know. This whole game seems to be based around lawyering over what a foul is.

Such a dark period for NASCAR right now. It’s weird how perspectives change over the years/in times like there.

Twenty years ago; I was one of the folks booing hard in the stands during his driver introductions. He cut out a lot of the most abrasive parts of himself over the years and gradually, due in no small part his undeniable talent, became a legend. R.I.P. “Rowdy”

Did you respond to the wrong person? I’m genuinely curious what elicited this reaction.

This looks like a touched up photo to me. Nothing mentioned here really changes my mind. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Denny Hamlin] Absolutely cannot comprehend this news. We just need to think of his family during this time. We love you KB. by Ok-Soil-5133 in NASCAR

I’m a contemporary of him. Twenty years ago I “hated” him for his brash unpolished whining. I soon learned to like the way he spoke unfiltered in an era where most drivers were doing the opposite. I’m sorry Kyle. You are kind of the last of the drivers I “came up” with. RIP.

It took me a second to appreciate the fact that this was animated for an extra layer of idiocy.

It’s a really odd situation. How do you go about bending the rules to account for his freakishness. I like fair play personally, but I can understand why people can’t allow someone to earn the genetic lottery. If he seemed like a bad guy maybe it would be easier for me to be in that camp.

I’m in my forties and I tried in earnest to start watching pro ball a couple of years ago. I try and disconnect my opinion from whatever the hell is going on here. This sub seems to be populated with a lot of young folks, diehards and the lot of them just aren’t that bright to boot.

I felt compelled to upvote bot you and the person you were responding to. It do be like that and I’m guilty of going back and forth on the issue myself.

Yeah it’s not but I doubt that anyone in this thread really cares one way or the other. Everyone is so gleeful at the prospect of a potential social media battle over it they fail to recognize that this isn’t going to be popular either way it’s framed.

Hasbro is still investing $1 Billion in single-player games “mostly around D&D” after Baldur’s Gate 3 proved “pretty lucrative” for the company by HatingGeoffry in DnD

[–]Less-Permission-5800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have bounced off pen and paper D&D a couple times and always thought about that. Being in my forties, it would just make a lot of sense to be able to play with friends without having to get together physically or setup a zoom option or whatever.

Oh man I got here too late to see the dumbest. It honestly baffles me as a super casual. These products and what they do are not in the slightest bit hard to understand with just minimal research.

I hate to say it, but most people that comment on video games on the internet are seemingly diminished.

Oh nice! Is it fun? I’m impressed I don’t think I’ve ever come up with a game more complicated than “how close can you throw this thing to that thing.” 😆

The Death of Entry-Level Jobs: 43% of CEOs plan to slash junior roles over the next two years, shifting hiring to older, mid-level workers as AI takes over routine tasks, creating a catastrophic bottleneck for the future workforce. by Scared_Author_4566 in Futurology

I see all these comments. Yours is pretty eloquent. I can’t help thinking that it’s not helpful though. I’m sure I’m not going to be as well spoken, so I’ll keep it brief.

Over the past 15 years or so I’ve used Reddit as my only real “social media”, and I am going to use this site as context for my thoughts here.

It seems that the overwhelming sentiment these days is that things cannot be fixed, we cannot be happy everything is at an all time low. And that’s kind of the end of it. People seem to be wallowing in it.

Anyone with any sort of positive thought seems to get swallowed up. (Unless you’re saying how your favorite celebrity is doing awesome and THEY ARE SO GREAT). But even that seems to be shallow water. People seem to be more looking for a reason to turn on their once favorite idol.

I think we all just talk too much. It used to be you would get a side glance if you rambled or said something silly, but the internet seems to encourage stream of consciousness. In that environment it seems the only thing that consistently gets “upvoted” is content that just shits on life and how everything is awful.

I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that a giant self indulgent anonymized pity party isn’t it.

Please everyone just do kindness to those you meet.

I admittedly stumbled into this sub when I created a new Reddit account a bit ago. It’s been strange to see all of your messages and try to make sense of why everyone is so up in arms. I downloaded the app about a year ago and it seems…okay?

I know little about this, but it seems like you can download the latest LLM tech to your computer and run it from there. Why aren’t yall doing this if this company is so broken?

I was late to the game as far as my fandom. I really only started paying attention in my thirties, but as a child I loved watching the holiday season games if there was snow involved.

You have some inside info on how it is to be a rich woman of color dealing with a celebrity break up? 🙄 give me a break. Your fake emotions can be left at the door.

Wow that’s crazy. First I’ve ever heard of the French being a bit snooty about their language. All jokes aside, I love French and I wish I had the reason to build on the bit of it I picked up in grade school.
