I’m always happy to explain the distinction to people, I know it’s a nebulous topic for a lot of cis folks who can’t relate much. Then I see OP’s first comment about “drag queen land” and realize she’s just some alt right troll and isn’t here to genuinely engage with the topic. Bigots gonna bigot I guess. Be a bit more subtle next time.
That’s definitely part of it yeah, soccer is more continuous, so they can’t cram ads in like they can with football. There’s still a lot of it, but it’s not as crazy. American football is openly about ads as much as it is about the sport, it’s pretty nuts.
I think there’s some NFL pass things that allow you to do that, actually, where you can watch everything whenever. A lot of them aren’t accessible from Europe sadly, but if you’re American there’s plenty of options for you.
There’s also sports anime lol
That’s how I got introduced to American football, watching and reading Eyeshield 21, and it got me interested in seeing the real thing. Sports anime are pretty cool since they present you with a curated narrative with lots of ups and downs, and they’re usually a lot harder to predict than traditional shounens, since losing doesn’t doom the universe or something. They’re genuinely a nice entry point to sports in my opinion, at least if you enjoy anime already.
I just think the sport is really neat.
The ads are pretty overkill even compared to what I see here in Europe during the soccer world cup, and yeah athletes are paid ridiculous amounts, but at the end of the day it’s a lot of fun to watch, at least for me. It’s a battle of both wits and raw athleticism between people pushing the limits of what the human body can do. That’s super cool, and all the story lines that arise or crumble from the competition are immensely entertaining to follow.
When you get down to it capitalism tarnishes everything anyway, a lot of entertainment media is very much just vehicles to sell even more shit, but they can still be enjoyable in and of themselves.
I knew a Mexican girl who I don’t think considered it fully “mexican” but liked it quite a lot still.
I don’t think it matters what you call it. Gender dysphoria is a condition that hurts, and the cure is gender affirming care and acceptance.
As long as we agree on that idc what you define it as.
I don’t have much of an opinion on people who believe they’re a hive mind or a wolf or something. That seems to be your main issue, and imo it’s a very different topic from whether or not gender dysphoria is mental illness. Like yeah they themselves are trying to put that in the same basket as gender identity, but it’s an entirely different discussion.
Stegosaurus was my favorite too as a kid. These days I’ve grown more boring ig and I would probably go with T-Rex, but Stegosaurus will always have a place in my heart too.
I can’t see the problem.
It’s not gonna last you 20 hours, but last I checked the official Sonic 1, 2 and CD ports are all free on mobile (and they’re really good).
See, that right there is true horror.
Given all my adblockers, getting ads at all is what scares me
I mean isn’t that what OP is trying to figure out? A way for people to hear how you sound inside your skull.
Please stick to Reddit
Gotta love the almost daily “I support trans people but they shouldn’t be allowed to play sports” that shitty sub was
They’re definitely gonna go after the wayback machine next, because what use is there in controlling social media and deleting what bothers them, if there’s freely accessible records of it somewhere else?
The archive needs to be protected at all costs.
Isn’t that just a fancy way of saying “I want more lies, ignorance and hate sprinkled in”?
“More politically balanced” lol
You can acknowledge that he was racist and still appreciate his work/reference him.
Separating the art from the artist doesn’t make you complicit in their shitty opinions; there’s still a lot to get out of Lovecraft’s stories, he’s one of the core pillars of modern horror after all, his influence is inescapable. You could argue it’s a different story when it comes to living artists/celebrities, since you are in some way contributing to their success, but Lovecraft is long dead, his work is literally so old it’s public domain lol, you’re good.
I’ve personally been reading many of his stories lately for inspiration, and it’s been very enriching. You have to keep an eye on the racist overtones of some of them, but as long as you do I don’t see the issue.
All good! I was just worried I was missing something, since I see a lot of very small images on Kbin lol
Honest question, is this image really supposed to this small?
It’s only 250x169 on my end, and I can’t find a way to enlarge it. Been happening to me a lot on Kbin, I can’t tell if I’m missing something, if people really are posting tiny images, or if it’s a bug of some kind?
We’ve had more than enough proof he’s on team Putin, I personally don’t need another.
