If other sites are anything to go by, drama. Nothing but complete and total drama. Stats are ok, but only if they support maximum drama. Play analysis and tactical discussion is completely unacceptable.

In a row?

You’re not supposed to have fun. You’re supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

All that matters is to follow the authority, don’t question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn’t address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.

I think one of the exceptions to this is music. Of course there’s top 40 and whatnot, but it’s one of the areas where older hits either don’t go away, or get repackaged algorithmically into let’s say “stuff from that decade you like that you’ve never heard before.”

Of course it’s still being selected from a much larger sample. But I think there’s something different about music.

verbalbotanics , to technology in What Did People Do Before Smartphones?

It’s interesting, mindfulness and meditation really weren’t that popular, at least in a mainstream way, before smartphones got popular. I feel like a big part of why it blew up was pretty much because people were feeling overwhelmed with modern multitasking and needed an outlet.

The rock where they think people can’t tell the difference between a press release and journalism

Ah, ok. So it’s basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man’s cream of the crop promo? Got it

verbalbotanics , to technology in Threads: Ten million join Meta's Twitter rival, Zuckerberg says

It’s interesting how some people tout Lemmy and Mastodon cross posting, but all it does is confuse me. I like mastodon for short things like news as you said, but when lemmy comments get mixed in I don’t know where to start
