CMLVI

Doing my first BMX race next weekend. Really going into the deep end, and going to a National-level race. I've been on a track 1 time previously. Now I've done a loooooot of MX racing in my life, so I'm comfortable on any kind of bike, but I haven't raced anything in over a decade probably, so the nerves are there.

Anyone interested, we have !motocross@lemmy.world for discussion. It has lapsed as of late, as I have been (quite literally) the only participant, but trying to do more to get it going. Join if you want, I'll try to get Race Threads going as well!

I've been having similar issues, and when I am given an answer or find it way back in comment histories, I'll copy and paste it into mine and reference the older post. This seems to help a lot in Discords where it serves you results based on date since post. 

LEMMiNO is my favorite bi-annual creator.

Nexpo does some really good stuff too, but I think recently he's just been doing like Reddit deep dives, and that is only so interesting.

I missed those, I go through phases with him. I get it though, guy cranks out videos and probably gets old using the same cave diving stock videos lol.

Scary Interesting does some horror documentary stuff about, idk, scary situations people have been stuck in. No AI images, which is saying something, cause he always has some kind of background or graphic going.

Yeah I'd be cool with this. As I get older, and I realize just how much time modders put into these things. And in a field so hard to break into, I'm all about them having a way to get some financial support for their time, effort, and skills. I also realize that the platform costs money, and some portion would go to the parent company. But it would have to be something reasonable, otherwise it's just exploitative. Which is the kinda company WotC is, so...lol

That definitely tracks with what I know of WotC. Sucks, cause I'd be mroe than happy to pay both modders, especially if it was quality content, and if WotC wants a reasonable cut, then that's just part of it I suppose. But nah...they suck lol

They have venture capital backing as a direct competitor to Twitter. I'm sure there are other sources as well, but that's the big one, I think.

If you would read your comment, you would see you are referring to Fine as he or him multiple times. Which is why I said I was confused. Fine is not a man, nor did AIPAC pick a "him". I was wanting clarification on that part of the comment. The rest of my comment was not me stating you are wrong, but why it continues to be confusing, as Biss also has pro-Israeli ties, just not to AIPAC specifically.

We are not in disagreement over anything. Your comment is just unclear on who you are referencing.

I'm confused. Laura Fine was the AIPAC candidate, she got 3rd. Biss was the winner, and Kat got 2nd. AIPAC didn't pick him, they backed Fine. Biss did get some funding from other pro-Israel sources, from what I've seen, but they're more moderate in their takes on Israel's Palestine policy and were recommending economic and aid/weapon sanctions against Israel (J Street or something?).

Everything is pretty smoke-and-mirror with this shit though so I won't claim to be an expert on every Israeli-tied PAC or lobby, so please correct me if I'm wrong!

Custom campaigns would be huuuuge for BG3. I don't find a lot of joy in just playing it with new choices, so this adds a ton of opportunity for replaying it. It'd be awesome to see it turn into a game engine for homebrewed campaigns and such.
