Playing WoW

Press numlock, type out ‘sup bb LFR BT?’

Left and right mouse click to halt and continue killing. The good old days

I agree, 99.9% of the way. My brother makes a smurf now and again to play competitive marvel rivals with those of us that don’t play but would still like to have a 2-set match instead of a single side push.

Noncompetitive is locked to single push and so you don’t have a chance to play as both attacker and defender, so it doesn’t really feel like a full match.

I don’t really care much, some in the group do. He’s not ridiculously good, just a few ticks higher than people who don’t play competitive unless the whole group is in

Played rocket league to de-stress from Dota. Now, none of that. My brain and heart and sanity just can’t take it. Mostly a solo game kind of person these days or co-op.

Statistics disagree with this. Some are listing ‘porn seeking’ where they include erotica and non-video content as high as 44%, others that are looking at video only are showing 11-15% or so. I’d have to go looking again, but that’s still not a small number of users, much more than 1%.

I don’t know. My assumption is that they’re easier to put together than well thought out titles and clear discussion lines, and there’s a certain level of inherent ‘safety’ in posting a picture/meme that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you for a joke. Not that I don’t like them, just that that’s my read of why they choose them over discussion

You ask ‘wouldn’t it be better’ if there were less memes

The community, through it’s posting, voting, and reposting, has chosen Memes regardless of whether it’d be better.

A lot of answers in here say “that’s how the fediverse works, people post what they want and engage with what they want, what they don’t want they can unsubscribe or block to curate their own feed, to avoid seeing parts of what the collective is sharing/talking about when using memes”.

What you’re describing requires unilateral control over what content various communities will engage in. It doesn’t matter if that’s what people like, so much as it’s what people continue to choose. If they like it, great. If they don’t, they’ll either curat their feed and not have a clue what you’re talking about regarding memes on the Frontpage, or they aren’t bothered or even like the memes on the Frontpage and aren’t looking to seek out more nuanced discussions and serious threads.

I don’t think he’s taking a shitty stance in stating that your job is relatively safe. Just that there are tons of safety regulations and protections that keep your profession off of a list like this
