Karma matters early on posting on reddit cuz many subreddits blocked negative karma posters via automod. Later it became more granular with subreddit specific karma. After several years there I had 6 digit karma spread across all my regular haunts which granted me a degree of freedom to get downvoted wherever cuz I had stockpiles to dip into.

On lemmy that doesn’t apply.

I only post links on the one place I mod on lemmy that interests me. Occasional links elsewhere if theyre relevant.

My commentary I just post. If folks like it, great, if they hate it, great. There’s no karma here so idgaf.

The ol’ Sinclair special

“Sa”, as previously noted, is not an accepted Scrabble word. Abbreviations are not acceptable in Scrabble. Foreign words aren’t accepted in Scrabble so “Ist” and, “Sa” would be out there as well as it appears we’re playing English Scrabble. “Ra” is also not accepted in Scrabble as proper names (like, “Thor” for another example.) are not accepted.

More importantly, words need to connect to an existing word so, “ra”, and, “ist” by themselves wouldn’t be accepted on those grounds, hence the determination that the person played them on their turn and is actively tying to figure out which letter they should use for the middle bit to finish the single word on a single line they can play on their turn.

And yes, we are overthinking a political comic ITT.

Good thing I didn’t say the entire playerbase (more particularly, the subset who streams) when I wrote my comment then huh?

Because the dudes playing Football are the peak of talent and skill for it, and I don’t like getting concussions. The ones playing Minecraft et. al. are largely random dipshits who are good at being entertaining, not skillful at the game itself. Also I don’t get concussions from playing Fortnite, just brainrot.

My gender affirming care is the only moral gender affirming care, or something like that

This line of conversation was discussing it as though it was an actual game. Maybe I misunderstood the point you were trying to make in regards to “ra”, and, “ist”, in which case my b. To my knowledge there’s no rule stopping one from laying letters down however they want in one line so long as it forms a word at the end of them doing so. One could put down “t”, then “s”, then, “i”, or alternate “r”, then “t”, etc. as they’re laying down their word.

Not sure what in my comment made you think I wasn’t discussing rules and actual gameplay but if you could elaborate on that for my own future reference, I’d appreciate it.

Noticed the redboxes at my grocer have, “Closed as of May 20” signs on them, which tends not to bode well.

As a proud patriot I only want my data sold to American big business interests! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“ra” and “ist” are part of the word in process, just being done out of order for creative flair, as you noted. “Sa” on the other hand, is its own thing and isn’t a word. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t be there though as it would have to be challenged to be removed.

That said if I had a 6 letter word with that bonus I wouldn’t challenge homey on like 2 points. I’m dumb, but I’m not stupid.

Pokemon go to the polls!

Flatland: the meme

Really, if the Dems brought in someone who was like… 50 (and probably not Newsom owing to prolonged hateboner for Cali) they’d gain 10 points in the polls immediately. Whether true or not, the narrative that Biden is old and doddering is there and that debate performance did nothing to dissuade it.

a buttload

so in other words guy does classic spamming of his own work in contravention of clearly stated sitewide spam policies, gets marked as spammer, and banned from space he spammed.
