Paalam, Lemmy! (lemmy.world)

As you can tell from the 1 visitor average per day for the last year (aka. me lol), this community is pretty much dead. No one is reading this as well, but in case you wander here while bored — I'm sticking a fork on Lemmy PH. No more monthly threads or news posts, at least from me.

It started out strong and was brimming with potential, but once r/PH reopened, 90% of the posters made a beeline back to the sub. The rest who decided to stick, slowly packed their bags as well. I don't appreciate being made a joke in Discord, but hey, such is life and the reality of protests.

Thanks for giving this community a shot! It was a fun first month or so! I'm focusing my attention to UndustFixation now, which has been keeping me busy outside of work, actually. Stay safe!

Edit: Shout out to u/gradenko_2000 who saw the protests as performative and took it a step further by not going back to Reddit at all and refusing repeated invites to Lemmy.

My Mavs winning streak comes to an end. Time to build a new one and hopefully Luka cements his MVP case.

Damn, wasn't expecting this. That's not to say he's any good or had any decent developmental uptick, just that OKC was so invested in him for so long and on a relatively cheap deal that I don't see the point of waiving him.

Let's go Lively!

Seconding this.

I'm in my late 30s but I don't want to continue the chain of grouchy old fucks that oppose anything fun.

He is. Can't stay healthy either.

Some places have their own "weird" delicacy that throws people off. Dogs in Yuan, maggot cheese in Sardinia, undeveloped ducks or stewed frogs in the Philippines, and so on. So, I'm not going to knock this at all.

Tbf, I've read about this as a teen a long time ago (GQ) and was fascinated by the irony of having the guinea pig in a cartoony sketch on the wrapper while seeing their corpse through the plastic.

Pretty much this. It's why I love it for my use case (microblogging journal that only I can see), but it's definitely not for everyone else.

It's why if your average influencer or news consumer wants a Twitter alternative, it's likely Threads or perhaps BlueSky, not Mastodon.

I must say, these are the types of replies I'd like to see. It allows me to re-examine everything on the incident from another side and possibly form a better take.

Is there a review unit of the EX90 out already??

He's unplayable for long stretches (particularly in the playoffs) as it stands, but it's still a good deal at slightly above MLE as cap rises in a few years.

Now, you could take the fucking red pill, right? Spend the rest of your life jacking off, crying into your chai tea green latte, what the fuck. Or... you could take the blue pill. Or is it the red pill? Anyway, take the other pill and quit being a cunt.

The annual team option for the rest of his contract now makes perfect sense.
