Sudden movement in the sports subs to ban twitter seems to be emerging. r/hockey and others.

It seems there is a movement on a lot of the sports subreddits. Especially Canadian hockey subreddits to ban twitter links.

hockey https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1i6h6sm/can_we_ban_twitter_links_now/

They all seem to be getting massive support and upmarseys. Some subreddits like hockey are user proposed but others like the Maple Leafs sub are being hosted by the mods.

leafs https://old.reddit.com/r/leafs/comments/1i6kj05/subreddit_discussion_should_we_ban_twitter_links/

This extends beyond hockey though. Liverpool football club has the post locked down while the mods discuss. Same situation with Manchester United

Liverpool https://old.reddit.com/r/LiverpoolFC/comments/1i6gym0/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

RedDevils https://old.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/1i6idm3/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

I have nothing extra to add but here's Vancouver Canucks sub too just to show that it's a lot of subreddits.

Canucks https://old.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1i6kc8y/can_we_also_ban_xtwitter_links_from_this_sub/

Lots of discussion of Elon of course but a lot of people also just pointing out that X links are simply trash anyway and suck to use.

Some of these posts seem to be getting brigaded according to the mods at reddevils.

I was talking to @PegMeMommy about Valentine's Day. I was telling him about how me and my siblings got our mom flowers and stuff for Valentine's Day. During the conversation he said he had never heard of kids getting their mom something for Valentine's Day, and he doesn't know anyone who does this. For me, this is the opposite: Where I'm from, everyone gets their mother something. Now both of us are wondering which is normal.

Decided to make a poll!

Cant wait to watch my fiancée become the amazing mother she was meant to be :marseywholesome:

Me (cis f) and my soulmate (mtf) are having our son on Friday and we just finished her second lactation consultation today. She's been on a protocol of hormones that essentially mimics pregnancy and can trigger lactation it's looking like she's starting to produce a milky like substance which she got swabbed today during the appointment. Her breast development has also sky rocketed since the new protocol and she's really happy with that. She's just been glowing and I can see her confidence increasing which makes me so happy for her. If all is well she will be able to eventually feed our baby (we will both be breastfeeding).

The lactation consultant seems really hopeful and excited because there aren't many cases of situations like ours. There have been studies about trans women breastfeeding but what makes our situation a little different is that our baby is my fiancées biological son. I feel like in a way my fiancée will be able to help other trans women in the sense of providing the lactation consultant with this experience and further knowledge on MTF breastfeeding. Her lactation consultant has dealt with lesbian couples before, but not a lesbian cis/trans couple.

On top of that, my fiancée is so excited to be a mother and I know she's going to be amazing at it, I can't wait to see her hold and love our son and I'm so excited to start this new chapter with her. I love her so much.

I checked the best books of the 21st century goodreads list. :marseydeadinside:

Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.

Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.

How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.

Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?

I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.

What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.

Conclusion:

In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.

Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

Cuckdom C*m 2: Deliverance cucks Polygone from getting a review copy. :soyjaktantrumfast: ensues

The embargo for reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has lifted. We don't have a review on the site here at Polygon. This is not an editorial decision; we had hoped to review the game. On Jan. 2, Polygon requested a code for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the game, and received no response. On Jan. 7, we reached out to the PR firm working with Warhorse, who told us they were "not able to provide access. We'll let you know if this changes." We reached out to parent company Plaion on Jan. 9 as well — no response. On Jan. 10, we saw our peers publishing early previews for the game. We re-upped our request and were again told we would not be given access.

This was very unusual. But this was the situation that transpired with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It can be difficult to tell when a studio's decision to withhold a code from a publication is intentional and personal. That's due in part to the fact that the process for getting advance review codes is about as rote and administrative as it gets. Sometimes, PR firms working for studios send us codes unsolicited in hopes we'll cover the game in question. Other times, we request codes from the game's representatives ourselves, several weeks ahead of the release date, and we get those codes when and if they are available.

As part of our final request for code on Jan. 10, Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Plante contacted Plaion and Warhorse's PR firm to get a comment as to why we were denied advance access to the game. He stressed in his message that our hope is that this decision wasn't due to any personal bias against Polygon, nor motivated by any of our previous coverage of games made by Warhorse or any other. In short, we wanted to know: Was Polygon being blacklisted?

On Jan. 10, we did receive a response to this request stating that we could get one code for the game on launch day, Feb. 4. We did not receive any clarification as to how this decision was made. Nor did we receive the requested clarification on why the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 declined to provide Polygon access to the game.

Because we will not receive access to this game until its public release, our review is nonetheless forthcoming but will not be published in time for its release date. We look forward to telling you more about this game in the weeks to come.

And now, for the why. From Charlie Hall's review (12 February 2018)

https://archive.is/WqcZl

"The game is also not without its controversies. Warhorse is a team of more than 150 people, but the game's creative director has gone out of his way to rationalize his support of G*merGate, a loosely knit hate group that has devoted time to harassing women, people of color and journ*lists in the past. So outspoken is the studio's leadership on cultural issues that they have found it necessary to work with a German outlet to publish anti-fascist, anti-sexist and anti-racist statements prior to their game's launch."

Thank you for that completely unnecessary bank-shot that turned a poor review into a politically motivated hit piece. And you wonder why they weren't lining up for more of that?

[🤓🔘🔘🔘🔘] Why can't Thor just admit to not playing mage well on Diremaul?

Why cant people stop brigading? Dude didn't even stream today yet this sub has been spammed by this bullshit today. Maybe you all should just go outside instead of constantly slandering someone else over a fricking video game. (37)

I respect Thor a ton. This just isn't a good look. Just accept blame and move on. It's a game. Why does Thor need to diffuse responsibility when he has stated the mage's blizzard ability and other tech are specifically there to save groups in dungeons? He knows about lvl 1 abilities saving mana. He knew he had a mana gem. He knew the group was trying to survive. Just say you made mistakes and move on. (-36)

Slandering? Really? Maybe you and Thor should learn to take a little criticism instead of Streisand effecting this drama. (-24)

Calling Thor a roach in WOW context is appropriate considering dude just ran. Obviously hate brigading and death threats isn't ok but none of that would've happened if Thor took accountability, didn't handle this drama in the worst way possible and didn't triple down despite being wrong.It's a classic example of Streisand effect in action. (-20)

The frick are you doing bro?The group had members who just woke up. They went in for a run completely unprepared and forgot all the items they needed to do the strat they wanted to do. They nearly wiped due to idiocy but escaped. A short while later, they went back in and AGAIN were unprepared and not paying any attention. They pulled 2 packs and the boss. At this point - the run was already fricked by the other players lack of competence.The call went out to run, again, and the group started to bail.Pirate was not wanting to get caught in the mess that an unprepared and unaware group had caused for a second time. Yes, he was also chatting and didn't call out the boss incoming, but it isn't a mages job to control where the tank pulls mobs to fight.While they fled, before it was clear they were completely screwed, the idiot druid started yelling asking "The frick are you doing bro", and calling people back to 'salvage' the fight. (He caused the healers death through this because of a ca... (6)

Dude. It's a fricking game. (6)

To be fair it's just a game doesn't work in this particular instance since it's wow HC. Idk if you know much about wow HC but it's an mmo that you decided to turn on perma death. Still takes dozens or hundreds of hours to get anywhere and you can lose all that in just a moment because other people made mistakes.It is crazy to me to play perma death in an mmo but it's fair to say you cant use "it's just a game" in this kind of situation.

Because this is a game culture he has grown up in and was shaped by. I do not understand why people are surprised. Thor comes across as a really cool guy when he's dealing with the business side of streaming, or his ferrets or anything else. He was a peepee in that dungeon, and probably a peepee in Eve ( I didn't play Eve). Plenty of people are kind of peepees in video games. This isn't uncommon, he's a good player and being a good player he gets a bit of an ego that he's a really good player. And then something goes wrong and he makes a bad call, and that bad call leads to two or three more bad calls. Someone in his guild is probably going to DM him when this cools down going "hey man, you were kind of a peepee for this" And that will be the end of this because this is a completely normal interaction in any hobby where you stress yourself out for fun.

It's the perfect time to commit terrorism.

That HOA you've always yearned to oust in a violent coup?

1. No one is coming to check on your hedges. Let them grow.

2. Lawn ornaments? Back in vogue.

3. Poisoning your neighbors' overgrown plants is simply castle theory applied.

4. Plaster stickers with QR links to this hellscape everywhere so they too must suffer.

Also expel the Jews from the river to the sea.

You wouldn't steal a every book that ever existed, would you? :marseyninja:

					
					

According to plaintiffs' counsel, Meta engineer Nikolay Bashlykov, who works on the Llama research team, wrote a script to remove copyright info, including the word "copyright" and "acknowledgments," from e-books in LibGen. Separately, Meta allegedly stripped copyright markers from science journal articles and "source metadata" in the training data it used for Llama.

What happened to the good laxatives?

					
					

Friends mom used to give her stuff that would make me cry and call my mom to come home. In college, there were "poop teas"—don't remember the real name, that made you feel like you were giving birth.

Fifteen years later, I looked for laxatives for unrelated reasons, and found everything to be "gentle" and "overnight"?

What happened to all of the good laxatives? I'm at the age where it might be functionally beneficial to have an exorcism of my butthole, and they've taken it from me.

are recreational laxatives a thing?
