I’m an environmental scientist in applied research. Started as a technologist where I was handed experiments to plan and execute.

Wrist locks. Especially when they are being lazy with their grips.

Technically legal but dirty, totally unfair, and taking the fun out of a good roll.

Maybe I should bring it back…

I found this trying to find out how to collapse a comment thread. It’s the one feature I’m missing from Connect to make it my full time lemmy app.
