I assume that's how OP's debate of how many holes a human had ended up being about straws: someone argued that the mouth and the anus are just one hole
Rebel Galaxy is an exploration/open world-ish space game with weird controllers but a pretty fun gameplay. You get to fine-tune different classes of ships with a variety of weapons, shields, engines, etc. while completing missions to earn money and earn reputation with different factions.
It's basically Sid Meier's Pirates, but in space and with a modern look. I found it highly entertaining.
I've only held them, but not ridden in them; but talking to other people, and looking at them and how they're supposed to work, I think they're overengineered and clunky. Step in bindings are a good idea for short slopes, and well, can't fault you for wanting to save money. Hell, you might even like them.
Personally, I'd rather stick to regular bindings, or if I'm going step in, I'd go with Burton or Nidecker. Flow, too, if you like the feel of those. I just think the Clews are an unnecessary implementation of the concept.
Edit: Also, they're doing the Dope approach of getting Instagram "influencers" to use them, and I just dislike that for snowboarding gear. I was talking to Malcolm Moore a couple of months ago, and he said they approached him to partner with him, but it was kinda all about the branding, and not about the riding.
the articles from The Verge seem to be very favorable towards the protestors
Because that's what's driving traffic for them right now. Let's not forget that The Verge is also a soulless corporate entity. Peters has been doing a good job at covering the issues, but he wouldn't be allowed to be as thorough if the topic and angle wasn't a good driver of traffic.
That argument doesn't hold under scrutiny. Reddit employs about 80 people on their iOS development team. And the app blows fucking chunks, compared to Apollo, which was made by one guy.
Fantastic game. I got 2/3s into my first campaign and then my laptop got fried, along with my save. It's such a cool game, and I love the fact that you can try the most absurd shit to complete tasks on it, and it will either succeed or fail spectacularly xD
Too bad they don't seem to be federating. Just tried signing up to that specific community from Kbin, but it doesn't show the content. Oh well, gonna keep my eye on it, regardless.
There are admins who are listed as mods in some subreddits, even if they probably don't do any moderation these days. Spez is a mod of r/HighQualityGifs, for example.
Think of it as the people in Lemmy being Outlook users, and the people on Kbin being Gmail users. They're just different flavors of the same thing (Reddit-like link aggregators, in this case).
And, as you already know, as a user of one you can interact with the other, and vice versa.
Just a note for OP, June is the sixth month, and you wrote 7 in the title xD
As far as what I'm reading, I'm starting 'Noble Roots', by Drew Hayes, one of my favorite authors. The book is part of an RPG-lit series that it's really fun and interesting. I'm not quite sure of where it's going, but I'm enjoying the ride so far. The first book is called 'NPCs'.

So, wait... people who have a competing world view from yours are listening to demons? Now who's naive? xD
I believe the scientific name for this whole thing is "clusterfuck" xD

I want to speak with Spez's manager!
Seems like we found turtle's ball licker's Kbin account!
The Steam version does say it has local co-op, although I've never tried it.

Snowboarding hasn't been mentioned yet.
Anyone who wants to do it somewhat seriously has their own pair of boots, from a reputable brand. Renting, or buying used boots is for rookies.
Also, there's the high-end boards from brands like Burton, Jones and Capita, which will actively try to kill anyone who doesn't know how to ride well.
Other way around. Wordpress has a plugin to "federate" your blog though ActivityPub: https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/

I don't have a Mastodon account (yet), but I'll check it out :)
Honestly, as a kid, the first time I beat the Elite Four in the original Pokemon Blue. I felt like I could accomplish anything, at that moment xD
This was my first thought, too. That game is so incredible, and the suicide mission is such a wonderful way to bring it all together.
