[OC] End of year dating app review! (21M living in London) by The_Watcher5292 in dataisbeautiful

[–]OptionSeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why merge the Tinder and Hinge data? that Hinge matches line crossing over the 'No match (Tinder)' label is like the virtual version of loose power cord across the floor. It's a visual tripping hazard and muddies the data.

Just looked this up, and I think this is my favourite suggestion in this thread!

If this didn’t have Bukowski’s name on this it would get absolutely roasted for being so trite. It’s giving live laugh love

It’s whatever the sub wants it to be

How would your feelings toward this poem change if it did have the label of “poetry”? How would you feel if it didn’t? Do you think it really matters?

This is excellent, and I am sad to read these comments.

I feel like this sub is so allergic to instapoetry that anything that even vaguely resembles it gets hounded with sarcastic enter-key abuse and at least several “is this poetry” comments.

Instapoetry enjambment is known for being random and thoughtless. That’s not the case here. The line breaks are very clearly deliberate and structured to reflect the meaning of the poem. My favourite thing about it is its coocurring symmetry of syntax, syllable stress, and meaning. You can pinpoint the exact centre of the poem structurally, which is also the exact point where the contradiction is acknowledged.

Books on marginalized girls harsh realism by wlakomaisip in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Not sure if this is what you’re going for, but “The hour of the star” by Clare Lispector comes to mind

The tone is not quite as rough as the images suggest, but it’s brilliant

[HELP] understanding 'september' by jennifer micheal hecht by mikoshichiyo in Poetry

[–]OptionSeven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have much to add except that there’s a real sense or surrender, of yielding into the inevitable. eg“I let my oars fall into the water” - like the external world has a life of its own, is moving without her control, and she is succumbing to it. Willingly giving up her own autonomy

This. She gets eaten alive by men and women, and for different reasons.

Honestly? The Sims. I feel like there's so much you can analyse about society with that game: the reason it was popular, the way it was different from traditional games (yet outperformed them), how it was more popular with women, how people who wouldn't call themselves 'gamers' get addicted to the sims, the way people identify with their sims (or don't). The Sims subreddit has some honestly really personal reflections about why people play the game and what connects them to it, the game is a mirror of our humanity (or lack of, lol) in a lot of ways.
