Hey, I’ve recently seen the movie of the same title, How to Blow Up a Pipeline! Great watch. Seeing the book description, I reckon the movie being based on the book did a lot more building on top of it, seeing as the movie tells a story and the book appears to be nonfiction (though parts of the story in the movie might as well be real)

Cool lipstick colour

Cool! Tell me more. How’s that going? Going well? Is that, like, a full-time thing? Does that pay well? Btw, you don’t have to answer anything if you don’t wanna.

On another note, we could move onto private messages if you want. Or not, if you don’t want to. We can continue the convo here in the comments as well. Been enjoying our chat

Eh, I guess if one doesn’t exist, no one had enough interest to create it. I could create one, for anyone who’s interested, but I reckon an interested insider would be more suited for such task. Otherwise, it’d be kinda bland coming from an outsider with little understanding. Someone interested could probably raise a community with a better understanding of what someone interested in such community would want out of it. As such, I’ll probably not take in the work of creating and managing such community. Feel free to do so, if you wish.

Anyway, how’s things going? Much cheering lately?

Interesting. I reckon men wear other types of clothes, innit? I doubt they’d be rockin skirts or whatever. Are skirts the usual cheerleading clothes? At least from media that’s what comes to mind. Skirts and tops (is that what they’re called?). And pom-poms. I reckon Lemmy could do with a cheerleading community. Maybe that could be interesting. Though I’m not sure if Lemmy supports video yet (images sure are popular here, but I reckon seeing the acrobatics in action would be cooler). Though for people interested in cheerleading themselves, from the inside (rather than outsiders), threads and discussions could be popular. Not sure what the prevalence is on Lemmy for people into cheerleading. What d’you reckon? Any interest in that?

Cool! I wish you luck on that! I bet you must look (and probably feel) hella dope doing some sick acrobatic moves (I know I probably would, I guess, on a fictional scenario in which I am a cheerleader). Btw, is cheerleading more of a woman thing? At least that’s the image I have, from media. Not sure how many men do that. Do men do that? Is that common, or a thing at all?

Damn, that’s impressive! Jumping up and being held up by others is especially quite the feat, on all ends. Did you ever hold other people up? I imagine that requires some strength as well (though if two people were to hold one, I guess the weight distributes between both people)

Cool! What kinds of stuff does it involve? Jumping around and shaking pom-poms? Or were you doing advanced acrobatics? Were you just doing it for fun? I reckon it usually involves cheering for a team, though I am not very knowledgeable on the topic (as you can probably tell)

Cool! I don’t think I’ve ever seen cheerleading in person. Wonder if that’s mainly a US thing or if it’s me not being big into sports. Is cheerleading a difficult thing? Seems fancy in movies, where they do all those fancy stunts

Say, are you an actual cheerleader?

Say, what’s that tattoo on your thigh?

Shouldn’t sports have categories based on abilities? I see people be like “trans women are stronger than cis women cause, idk, testosterone or something” and I just think, y’know, if that’s a problem, why aren’t categories based on strength or abilities or whatever?

Interesting concept: no heaven or hell. The afterlife is living your life all over again, but from the “perspective” of everyone you ever interacted with. Beat up some guy on the streets when you were 23? Guess who will be waiting for you on that faithful day, when you’re 23. On the other hand, if you were beaten up when you were 21, your revenge will come. 21 years after your death, perhaps, but it will come. Same for good experiences. That good thing you did? Shall be done unto you in the afterlife

So, if I want the full experience (or at least what I assume was the original intended experience), I ought to go with shorts. How does the aspect ratio affect things? Does it have any impact over the content or experience, vertical vs horizontal? I did once watch several episodes or seasons (probably full screen, due to being on a laptop), but honestly forgot where I stopped. Probably due to a lack of memorability for each episode, given the story is usually quite similar (the ongoing war)

Is the audience for it not here or does the audience not find smaller communities? I for one just browse whatever loads up on Jerboa, and created an account mainly to have some control over what I see (i.e., blocking stuff I’m not interested in). I don’t know that I’d find smaller communities if they don’t get more popular or popular communities get less active to the point of these smaller communities showing up. I don’t know that I can search for anything but communities (on Jerboa, at least). Is there even a search for general, idk, posts and stuff? Not denying maybe the audience isn’t here. Just think maybe finding smaller communities isn’t as easy (or maybe it’s just me, idk. I’m not even looking for specific communities, tbh. Lemmy is my “eh, I’m not doing nothing right now. Imma just check this app on my phone”)

Can we not create the communities we wish to see on Lemmy ourselves? I know it might not be full of people at first, but if it at least exists, people who want to interact about said topic in said community can find it eventually and do so, and it can grow over time. Or is this not how it works? Is my logic flawed in any way?

Did you watch the “Shorts” or the “Full screen” series (or both)? Which would you recommend?

I don’t really have much to say on the topic, even as someone with autism myself, but I hope things get better for you! Life has its ups and downs, and I hope brighter days will come for you!

Here, have a tune: https://youtu.be/UFtNhNuUN8Y

I hope it makes you feel a tad better or something. I know I like this song a lot, and this artist is one that I have listened to a lot when feeling more “down.” I hope it might make you feel better, or at least have some positive effect!
