They aren't sports fans. One of the things I do most often on Reddit is participate in various gamethreads in /r/nfl, /r/cfb, /r/hockey, /r/baseball, etc etc etc. There are gamethreads on Lemmy, mostly on the fanaticus.social instance. I'm the only one I've seen post in them, except for bots.

Okay so what are you getting from either of those that you can’t get from attending the same on Teams/Zoom etc.?

I don't get the "Bill, we can't hear you; you're on mute" twenty times per hour. Or the guy who doesn't realize he should be muted but isn't, and the chat is flooded with his background noise. I don't get to whisper snarky comments about the presenter to my coworker whom I'm sitting next to. I don't get to spontaneously engage people hanging around the coffee stand between sessions.

There are tangible differences between remote and in-person. As much of an introvert as I am, and as much as I love working remotely, I recognize that I do better collaborative work when I'm in-person. YMMV, but mine doesn't.

I want them to trade Lance for Kyler Murray. That way, the 49ers will have a first-overall draft pick and a last-overall draft pick in their quarterback room.

Lol, how do you think they got to be "one of the biggest and richest corporations in the world?" It wasn't be giving away internet search results for free.

KHP Trooper Justin Rohr . . . also testified that the highway patrol trains its officers to use the “Kansas Two Step” strategy as a means of gaining consent to question drivers further when reasonable suspicion is not apparent. He said he believes drivers know that they don’t have to respond when being questioned further.

She should have cut off his penis and testicles before murdering him.

Based on the title of this post, my first thought was "Hurt," and I was like "Who doesn't know that Johnny covered Trent Reznor?"

But then I read the article. Cool find, OP.

The Mali government taking control of the .ml tld probably has something to do with the fact that hundreds of thousands of US military emails have been accidentally sent to Mali by users who type .ml instead of .mil in the address field.

I don't really see that happening. Think of all the other times a previously rx-only drug has gone to OTC. Do you know of any that insurance covers? I sure don't.
