I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

• Spec Ops: The Line (loading screen hint)

As someone on the autism spectrum, I don’t mind using it or hearing people use it at all, as long as it’s being used as a synonym for “dumb” and not being used to specifically disparage someone with a disability. Just like “idiot”, words evolve over time from being specific words to refer to disabilities to just general words for someone being a dumbass.

If you are sleeping so heavily that you sleep through your alarm every time, you probably aren’t getting enough sleep. Go to bed earlier.

I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis

Rule 5: must be a topic of discussion

This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”

Anyone who can’t pedal is also gonna have trouble standing upright and maintaining a neutral balance on a thin board

A shitpost is something low effort, that simply takes up space in the content feed without being engaging, entertaining, or interesting.

One of the primary forms of shitpost is a meme or joke that isn’t very funny, or has been reposted to death. So “shitposting” can refer to the act of spamming shitty meme posts.

One of those isn’t a benefit and the other isn’t true. Also, e-bikes are a thing

Gob Bluth rides one, which reality captured the vibe they gave for the average person.

Except it didn’t really sound promising

I really wish the ttrpg.network munis were more consolidated in general. It seems like the ubiquity of lemmy.world has made it hard for other instances to carve out a niche

Yeah, you could make it the “traditional/tabletop games” thread, in the spirit of the divide between eg. /tg/ and /v/ on ye olde 4chan

We need more maths terminology in our regulations

No. But I’d comment with some of said communities in the gaming thread

Maybe broaden “video games” to just “games” to let the board gamers, TTRPG-ers, and CCG-ers post about their stuff as well. Right now I feel like those don’t have a great bucket in the categories there.

Dead link for me
