Yeah that's true, but if feel like most of those people have at least some marketable quality, I really struggle to think of any for DJ Khalid. Except for the potential to make fun of him like you mentioned I suppose

Feel free to take this down if this isn't what this community is for, but I was just thinking about that guy and wondering how on earth he ever became popular. Like people talk about industry plants, but he surely must be one no?

Yup, I totally agree. I was really disappointed to see spiderverse follow suit with it

Which one do people prefer? I've personally found the chess.com UI to be a lot warmer and more inviting than lichess, but I'm interested to hear people's opinions

I have aphantasia as well, and it certainly makes calculations a bit harder. I'll often use the analysis tool on chess.com to check my work

Sounds like a blast, even tho I prefer chess.com

I'm in!

I remember when I first got on reddit, it was still bigger than lemmy is now, but it still felt small enough that commenting actually felt worthwhile. Definitely excited to be here. Tryna engage as much as possible so people feel there's a community to join

Like others said, this is excellent. I also always just used reddit to stay informed, and it wasn't always the best at doing that. I really like this cut the bullshit approach

I like to listen to books like these to fall asleep and just started The Thief Lord. I fell asleep before the end of the first chapter, but so far I'm enjoying it as much as I did as a kid

I hope so, I really enjoyed the first one, so sitting through 2h20m of setup just to not get an ending was a bit of a slap in the face. Especially since it was really just starting to get going

Where I live we never had school buses, so I was always dropped off at school and would walk home. I used to think it was odd to have a school bus pick kids up, though that was before I realized how fucked car centricity is

I know this is going against the grain here, but I felt it was way too bloated and referential. The cliffhanger was just insult to injury.

That said, the parts that were good, were fantastic, I just wish they weren't buried in quippy nonsense
