    wait... are you saying that this season could turn into a.... Heated Rivalry?

    As much as I want Lewis to win another, I really want Kimi to get this. It feels like Oscar missed his shot for now, which is sad. If Lewis can come in a clean second where its close but not really within reach, that would be ideal for me. Its tough enough being tifosi without some punk nineteen year old crushing it on all fronts.

    Where Kimi excels in places with titanium dioxide is banned, maybe Lewis' secret will be having his hair down.

    This would be a dream come true for me. This series was so cool because they had some of the actors. I wish they could get some proper funding to keep it going.

    ok fine. I accept that is all a DMT dream.

    • George: 2nd Place
    • Lewis: Driver of the Day, Podium (Wrong place)

    Its still early in the season, but everybody is so supportive to the winner. Kimi running over to congratulate Lewis is nice, but everybody is just... nice ... no real toxic rivalry, really.

    I would love to see all of this boil down to Lewis vs Kimi -- old vs young.. see some good tricks. The real gem would be Nando vs Kimi, though, but that will never happen.

    that was at once the worst basketball I've seen in a long time but still an exciting game.

    I haven't watched a lot of Wemby, but he's a pretty dirty player with stepping on ankles and stuff. During the OKC series OKC was super super dirty, so it didn't stand out, but I hate that shit. Don't ruin a guy's career over two points.

    Anyway, good for the Knicks. I wish they could have won it at home.

    your interactions with the site have been different than mine, I guess. From my side of things I'm pretty much left alone until I need something and every so often they send me some branded shit I don't necessarily want.

    exchanging whatever data they get from photos and recipes of food is a fair trade for what we get out of it. Everything costs somebody something.

    I have pretty much full control over the discourse outside of super racist things that are [removed by reddit].

    If you hate the site so much, why not leave it and never look back? Move your community to Lemmy or something and spend the rest of your life toiling over server issues and traffic spikes :)

    I assume you use old.reddit like normal people. The sh.reddit is to satisfy the investors; spez and co don't even use it.

    I solo mod a sub with 2M subs and it has a decent culture for a higher effort community. I also axe the shitheads quickly and refuse / shutdown anything that will potentially harm the community in the short or longer term.

    Some subs have suffered, but the culture of Reddit is still around, it’s just changing as people age.

    I have been looking forward to Cape Fear for so long. Great cast... but you'd think that Taylor Sheridan made it; absolute shit from start to finish. Everything is so over the top and the characters are so wooden that it feels like they just met.

    basically, we need all of the countries to get together and to agree that blowing a lot of money on robots that fight each other is a waste of time and that they might as well scale it way back.... to ROBOT WARS... but with territory or whatever on the line.

    I honestly don't know why nations bother with open war when you can do so much more with covert ops (break every law, openly murder, deny all etc)

    Is it appropriate to push her, even gently, when I feel like I know how to help?

    Hacker News was really fun and relatively intimate before Arrington wrote about it for TechCrunch. Even for a few years it felt small.

    For the fediverse, small instances like the forkiverse are fun because everybody knows everybody. That always does off as it grows, but instances under 5k tend to have a good feel.
