People rarely seem to consider this.

Have you tried biking? I like it because it’s so easy to zone out with (and easier on the knees than running).

You can buy a cheap standing bike and watch shows or read books; and, if you go outside to bike, you get the benefit of the sun and trees. If they have rentable electric bikes, those can make the exertion part easier (and, if it feels like cheating, it’s still more exercise than you’d’ve otherwise been getting; plus studies have shown that some people, with electric bikes, ride for longer periods than those who don’t because they’re having so much fun).

You’re talking about a black art form, with DJ Khaled doing what every hypeman in the history of the genre has done since its inception; there is no context where saying he’s being inappropriate in what he’s doing is not racial.

I promise you, your appeals to “race-baiting” (of all things) as a justification of what’s going on are not putting you on the political side of the spectrum you usually associate yourself with.

I doubt this will be sufficient to not sound like anything I’ve said before but I sincerely and genuinely believe you lack context which you aren’t willing to hear.

For real; I hope it’s mostly just one instance. I haven’t been paying attention to instances but it feels shockingly widespread on Lemmy (but, given lemmy.world’s size, it could just be that).

Thanks for backing me up and keeping me from feeling crazy.

Ah; I thought you were approaching and conversing in good faith. My mistake.

If you’re unfamiliar with the tone policing of “not following proper decorum” (and that’s exactly what “he doesn’t need to be shouting his name on every song” is; it’s not a debate about whether he can: it’s an assertion that that’s not an appropriate way to behave for the setting), then you should probably familiarize yourself.

But, as a person with lived racial experience, I am very much not reaching.

I mean, I’d find it hard to say he’s not, at all, an entertainer?

Like, I feel most people know him from seeing performances of him. He, essentially, performs the role of hypeman, a lot of times.

I certainly wouldn’t disagree he also acts as a business man but I think he does a lot of entertainment-related work, as well.

I mean, that’s always been the refrain around colored entertainers.

To save you what turned into a whole year for me, – if you have anyone else who can help you – tag team applying. I only started to see consistent interviews once my husband started helping and we started not only flooding every listing we could but, also, routinely applying before a lot of people got to them.

Good luck; one of the worst years of my life.

I probably wouldn’t engage in puppy play with Kristi Noem.

Considering I never said that one doesn’t have the right to not vote, I don’t believe I am; but you are correct that I consider it a responsibility.

You seem to be deriving meaning unstated in my comment.

Even when there isn’t a clearly superior option; there’s no excuse to not vote in the U. S. when the right to vote is such a pivotable portion of your history. We are barely over a half century away; only a mere 60 years. Unconscionable.

For real; have no idea what the caffeine amount was (very well could’ve been far less than both if you) but I took an edible with caffeine, once.

Tried it once, before, and barely noticed anything so I popped a second one, this time around.

Naturally, forgot I’d taken anything and only vaguely became aware, an hour later, than my heart was pounding. Trying to figure out why your heart is thundering out of your chest while stoned to Hell is probably not high on the Most Effective list.

Usually 20; been doing 5, lately.

I’d’ve rather that it’d never come but, at a certain point, it reaches a point where it is mesmerizing, in its scope and scale.

Yeah; I’ve had that thought a lot the last few years. Especially where the team is based around people from the area so your team are actually representative of who you’re cheering for.

I’m not remotely social enough to make the connections to start anything like that, though.

…wut? Really?

I mean, – on the one hand – that presumes parents are encouraging their little ones to rush strangers going to the bathroom (and that toddlers wouldn’t take the opportunity to put their hands on the floor if the stall walls just were low enough) but, also, it’s a very unserious comment.

Lotta toddler haters, in here.
