Over the last two decades we have reduced the amount of time spent to get many of the items we need. Since we can now order online from our homes we don’t have to go out and get them, this frees up a reasonable chunk of time.
Also, over the last 50 or so years we have lost many 3rd places. A 3rd place is where you would spend your time that is not work or home. A bar, community center, an arcade…ect. those were a common place to spend time socializing.
Finally, items like reading and watching TV filled a lot of time. From reading the newspaper to getting the local news. Channel surfing was a big thing for a while. You would cycle through channels until you found something you wanted to watch, you could cycle channels for a while before finding something, so that took up a large chunk of time.
Watch out, you might upset the emacs crowd.
I back a running trainer on Kickstarter called Vi. When I got it is was insanely uncomfortable, drained my phone battery on an hour via the companion app and did not work for runs longer than 10 minutes. It was absolutely dog shit.
Studies find that the vast majority of users on a platform are passive participants, the vast majority only look, a smaller group looks and comments and finally an even smaller group looks, comment and post. The key to growing any community is to find or be an active poster. It’s also an investment, if you post and get only 1 to 2 reactions, that’s okay, it takes time. It also means that more people see it and didn’t react.
In your example the NBA sub, I am on it and comment from time to time, but don’t have the sources or time to post, but if someone took, at least, the links from reddit and posted them here, it’s a start. I know NBA reddit has a lot of good discussions which you can’t replicate here without more people, but the posting of articles and links is a start.
I look forward to meeting 45 year old male Linux nerd and 23 year old femboy Linux nerds.
The recent issue with transgender people in sports is manufactured as a tool to spread trans hate. It’s a non issue that preys on Americans’s sense of fairness.
Gamer glasses
I wear the same clothing when I am biking and not biking. The clothing is by no means a requirement.
That will get him, changing the logo of an app that relies on monthly users for revenue. You showed him by doing nothing.
Pickles and anything
I dunno, this doesn’t feel like a not the onion story. It’s just hypocritical. This isn’t goofy or like “that has to be satire” this is just trump being trump.

Mono color t shirt and pants or shorts depending on the weather. WFT now, but also the same in the office.

America is a garbage country.

It’s wild that they attack cyclist. I am mostly a pedestrian first as I live in a walkable city, but I was walking my bike to the shop for repairs and there was a dramatic shift in how drivers reacted to me just walking a bike. It’s insane how much needless contempt they have for someone on a bike.

Until you listen harder.
They left it intentionally vague so cases will make it to the supreme Court so the court can decide based on of the president is on their team or not.
