perhaps, although gym types usually aren’t very big on listening and being kind to your body.

for me, i wouldn’t immediately assume that a person using ‘gay’ in that way was a homophobe but it would definitely be a red flag. i’d make a conscious effort to avoid it but i’ve done it occasionally too so i understand the habit.

i also largely don’t mind crowds if it’s people i’m not expected to interact with, however loud groups or people bumping up against me makes me fucking rage. sometimes if i need extra space i’ll spin my backpack around and wear it on my front.

looks like they just messed up rows 1 and 5. easy enough to do if you’re not thinking while you’re putting up the stickers. also this is terrible advice for exercise and would lead to injury.

while it’s cool that mastodon, kbin and lemmy can all talk to one another, the format of mastodon just doesn’t play nice with kbin and lemmy. if it works for you, that’s cool, but i’d recommend separate accounts for microblogging and thread-style social media

i’ll stand by the fact that one of my favourite books of all time is the phantom tollbooth. the best children’s content is something that can also be enjoyed by adults.

i haven’t watched the whole show but tbh i get the feeling a lot of people didn’t believe walt but didn’t want to seem impolite when approaching the situation

i was confused for a little while too, created a few accounts and was floundering. the setup will be different for everyone but currently i have a tab open with mastodon and i’m following a few seperate instances there. then i have lemmy.world also open and i have stuff from different lemmy instances and kbin coming in to my feed.

i agree, feels very cosy here. just enough people to have a good conversation but not too many to feel swamped.
