Time to watch the race, here’s hoping GT pulls it out!

GT marched down the field too. Might be an interesting game…

Walked it in.

We made it boys.

CFB is back.

I don’t. Outside of Discord (which, really, I just don’t want people to have my phone number), I have a Group Me for fantasy football that goes back to like…2012 and that’s it. Everything else I do is on texts. And GroupMe will probably die once the RCS stuff goes into effect for Apple

My childhood innocence has been restored! Lmao

You’re telling me it’s “shifting” and not “slipping”???

All my hours watching Space Jam was a lie

That’s what I imagined it would be, it’s just the act of starting it that is difficult for me. I’m on the 2nd book in 3 Body Problem and I can’t bring myself to start it, despite really enjoying the 1st one. And from what I’ve seen, the 2nd is better than the 1st lol

I remember using Sync, but it didn’t really stick for me. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it’s like Relay but slightly worse?

Ooh Sync is another one I enjoyed! I swear I bought every large 3rd party app to try out fully. Google Pay Rewards, thank you. Lol

Yeah I’m not entirely well-versed in the implications of what that would allow, but it’s another use-case that would be cool to see!

That’s…actually a cool AF idea/inplementation of Fediverse shit. A practical use as well, as they’d control who was on the instance and would be a sorta pseudo-verification process for any accounts on it’s own.

I’m a Boost truther. I loved Boost for Reddit, and the dev is usually super responsive in the subreddit when it was a thing. I also used many Reddit apps; BaconReader, Relay, and Apollo on iPhone back when I had one. Boost was easy favorite. I’m not entirely sure how it plays with every lemmy instance though, as I’m just on .world

I actually bought their Immune System book, just cause I’ve enjoyed their stuff for so long. I remember those stupid little birds over a decade ago, and the book serves a little more purpose than their general merch. It’s also really well illustrated. Haven’t had the time to read it yet, as it’s pretty lengthy and sorta dry as a “scientific” immune system picture book should sorta be, lol.

Also, awesome your brother got referenced! That’s pretty sweet

For as long as Kurzgesagt has been around, they’ve always been a favorite of mine. The art style, well-researched topics and cited articles, and corrections when needed have been a pretty nice change of pace given standard YouTube fare nowadays.

Sounds decent enough! I am not hardcore against ads; I know platforms and publications need to pay somehow. If they’re non-intrusive, I don’t mind seeing them. Thanks for the info!

That’s kind of what I was worried about, was if it was algorithm based, and if it was, how bad is it pushing content vs showing me what I would be interested in. RSS feeds may be difficult cause I never really committed to any specific publications or sites, so I wouldn’t have any specific ones to populate the feed.

Haven’t gotten to that point yet; I’ve followed/unfollowed a few just due to general spam or some pretty clear biases (whether I agree with them or not).

Ty! Will have to look into it some! My problem is I don’t have any specific preferred news sites already so I guess I’ll be just spamming big ones til it gets sorted out a bit? I’d also like to keep it as balanced as possible, if not just to be prepared for potential points of conflict to be knowledgeable on.

Yeah, but at a certain point, that needs to be taken into account. Not that pre-season ranks necessarily matter, but it does play into what assumptions are made of other teams. This will presumably turn into a top 20 win for a conference opponent just based on “they had good recruiting”.
