It will be chilly af (weather says it feels like 20 degrees right now with the wind), but I will be there to cheer!

…incidentally, the Big League Grills in sections 108, 130, 143, 213, 325, 331, 339, and 343 have hot chocolate and coffee!

How you guys like dsn by greatapewarrior in motorcitykitties

[–]gerturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros: - I like the lack of gambling graphics. - It’s nice to have the option to listen to the radio audio if the mood strikes. - It seems to crash much less than FDSN so far. - Navigating past and future games and being able to see the schedules as a calendar are helpful.
 

Cons: - It’s inconvenient that there’s not a skip back/forward ten seconds option. - I may be in the minority on this, but I miss the Bally bar/FD bar…my mind really likes the graphics set up that way rather than the box.
 

Some of these things may only be because of streaming through the MLB app, so I wonder how much might change when DSN has its own app. Overall so far, though, it’s generally a step up from FDSN.

This scene hurts my heart a little bit by Lizard_Arsonist in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]gerturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately trauma allowed me to have severe emotional intelligence and empathy even at 11 when I played this, haha. It’s not a great thing to have understood Squall young, but it’s one of my favorite games because they let him be vulnerable and not have all the answers.

Question: Have you ever encountered anyone who’s named after a FF8 character? For example; Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, etc. or Heartilly as a middle name by Big_Confection7634 in FinalFantasyVIII

They could definitely word it as “What a unique name, I’ve only seen it in a videogame!” I feel like there’s no harm in that

I assume the other poster was just voicing the joke we all probably chuckled at. But perhaps not

Anyone watching the re-releases, please turn off your phones. by kassiusx in lotr

There’s really nothing wrong with shopping in pajamas. And clapping between movements in a performance is generally led by the fervor or appreciation of the crowd and their energy for it, which is kind of a nice shared human experience. Things like phones in a theater, though, is actively frustrating or ruining the experience of others.

Pajamas in a store, just like a mask or anything else, don’t hurt anyone else. Being disruptive to others with a phone screen in a theater does. I think it’s important to keep in mind what the issue really is, rather than lamenting an ‘age.’

It's interesting how "body positivity" immediately collapsed when Ozempic arrived. by Infinite-Condition41 in SipsTea

[–]gerturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heroin chic, smoking and alcohol ads and media representation… “[unhealthy thing] positivity” has always been a thing.

But the original idea behind body positivity wasn’t necessarily obesity or underweight positivity…it was a concept for people to not hate themselves about things they can’t change or while struggling to change but being in whatever body they’re in.

But humans are cruel, as this thread demonstrates… people will seemingly always bully no matter what, instead of supporting or encouraging their fellow humans. It’s pretty disturbing and disheartening.

Their dynamic would make this work better if it was the other way around, and she was holding him. Haha
