@slayercomma interesting because i find the tumblr user base to be miles more reasonable and pleasant to deal with than twitter. but im pretty sure the average age of ppl i follow on tumblr is ~30, so that helps. fandom twitter now feels like what tumblr was like 10 years ago but even worse.
@gmoult my favorite part of maine! bethel area is a huge tourist hot spot in both summer and winter, further north is super rural. there’s grafton notch state park, rangeley lakes, moosehead lake (hike mt kineo). most unexpected thing in the area is probably the wilhelm reich museum.
@himbopresident the national broadcast thing is so funny because even as a brand new fan they seemed so much worse than the local broadcasts and the commentators annoyed me immediately, but i was like well im new here i don’t know anything, only to find out that was the majority opinion lol
@himbopresident god i’m so doubtful that the rangers winning a cup would even make that big a splash! like that being even 5% as big a deal as the knicks were this summer would surprise me. but i don’t think this hypothetical will be tested anytime soon haha.
@himbopresident having gotten back into hockey this year after nominally being a fan as a kid (bc boston), i’ve had these same questions. one interesting thing is that of the big 4 sports it earns the highest percent of its revenue from ticket sales (44%)
@himbopresident with the revenue stats and its space in culture it definitely seems like it has the lowest % of casual fans probably? since it’s so heavily supported by fans committed enough to buy tickets.
@himbopresident when i moved to nyc and into a friend group that doesn’t care about sports, hockey basically never came up in my life anymore, even in an ambient way, compared to the big 3, so would agree it has by far the least broad cultural valence by far.
@Brocklesnitch nope there’s nothing different about the last season, as you noted, it really is just a skyler white situation. i found her to be a pretty realistic teenage girl, and a pretty mature one at that. i was actually very surprised that she was considered annoying by so many.
@zaryaismywife oh you’re in for a treat!! literally on every other page saying to myself “that’s the most beautifully crafted sentence ever written.” but also mantel is so economical with her phrasing, not a word wasted!!
@hockeyjtm is it because vermont is too rural? and what’s wrong with massachusetts lol? if anything boston is known to have one of the most european city layouts in the US
finally bought tickets to the oct 10 sharks oilers game i was planning to go to since the schedule dropped and only now did i realize it will be the darnell nurse and oilers reunion game 🥲
@sidjustkidding i have no idea how the locals rate it but i liked city works. definitely not like a charming local pub type vibe or anything, a little corporate feeling, but they have like 100 beers
@lastkiss158@bree_mck so yes it is absolutely realistic to be “happy.” i don’t think depressed people who wish for that think they’re never going to be sad or hurt again, they just want life to be bearable.
@lastkiss158@bree_mck i think people that say that don’t understand what you (or i) mean by wanting to be happy. thanks to wellbutrin i’m now at a baseline level of pleasantness 99.9% of the time whereas last year i was spending hours some days uncontrollably sobbing.
@crosstown_line i’m pretty sure there was even a dedicated platform in nyc for mauch chunk bound trains because it was such a massively popular destination like 150 years ago.
@marieeebabie maybe writing precisely requires even finer motor skills than something like knitting? idk i’m definitely curious what the block is for me.
@marieeebabie i’m a woman with horrible handwriting (middle school boy level) but otherwise good fine motor skills (i think)—i’m really good at knitting and training new finger movements for that. when i try to write neatly it looks even worse somehow.
