To allow even comparison across teams that play a different number of games. It’s a very different proposition to get 138 points in 82 games vs 110. In soccer, it’s common to quote statistics as “per 90 minutes” for just this reason.

I was taught to always return a plate or jar or container with something you made in it, so both I guess.

That’s so fun! I went to the queen’s match over the weekend to get the jess fishlock bobblehead because she is iconic and it is so good! She has her pride captain’s band and a tiny dragon and it looks so good next to my Sue Bird and Cayla Barnes ones on my shelf.

I love that you went down into the supporters’ section to wave a flag. I’m a member of the royal guard but I don’t sit with them much anymore

That match Saturday against the Legacy was brutal. I couldn’t believe Soph took that red in the 22nd on a fairly innocuous attack – she’s usually so composed

I like that you always close with “thanks
for seeing my work” so:

Thanks for showing your work! It’s so fun to have an active photographer who is very talented actively posting photos of the pnw. It’s easy as someone who lives here to forget how strikingly beautiful our bioregion is, and seeing it again through your lens is a wonderful reminder. I hope you keep it up for a long time (and photograph a Reign-Thorns match).

Good for you. I’m a more frequent drinker but I think it’s a good thing that it’s going out of fashion – it’s definitely one of the most harmful intoxicants.

If you like cider but not beer, have you tried a mead yet? There’s no need to keep trying beers if they’re not for you.

Well, then, there’s no flaw in my reason for being. Glad that’s settled.

I actually wasn’t.

If this is straight out of the gate for you, I’m sincerely sorry your first comment you read on the matter was me getting heated. For me, this is approximately the 4 billionth thread about “how should we gatekeep fedi?” and I’m extremely over it, possibly to the extent that I react when “who should we gatekeep?” is only a small part of a larger conversation.

I hope to see you over in our community! It’s not a lot but I think we have fun.

It’s definitely discouraging. Getting to the point that the median post on !nwsl@lemmy.world was above zero took like 2-3 years – I’m not surprised the vast majority of posters don’t slog through.

I have 0 patience for people who “don’t want to see that” on fedi. The whole concept behind fedi is to have a single connected web of every social media platform – the design and implementation is specifically intended to make space for literally everyone and everything. If you don’t like encountering something, it is incumbent on you to use the curation tools at your disposal to remove it from your feed – you have no right to try to remove it from fedi altogether.

We’re on fedi so you know I’m gonna say PeerTube

Well, it certainly is quick.

I couldn’t disagree with this sentiment more vehemently

So that in turn, makes it so the only kind of discussions and talk you see is just softball kinds. You know, like discussing sports teams, the weather and vice versa.

Dead internet theory is when everyone is a bot run by a political actor who is yelling about politics, or a bot run by a corporation to deliver ads. Real human beings talk about the weather and sports and their garden and their pets and what they’re making for dinner. I feel the most that I’m on the dead internet when everyone is talking about Big Ideas and Current Events and no-one is saying Go Reign or Look At This Cool Leaf I Found.
