This was a good post, young Jacob!

That guy is a cow

I’m down for Karting some Mario. Even better if I get TPE for it. Also good job advancing to the finals. Also I’ll be doing a late podcast about bans tomorrow and it will be AT LEAST 15 minutes!

Dang, we got a series!

Lol look at Gus saying he’s a more worthy member than @Ricer13. Are you gonna take that shit bro? Can we do a Gus v. Ricer irl boxing match for Christmas charity?

What does it take to self-publish?

oboy

Yes Greta would approve indeed! I enjoyed the articles, my one suggestion would be to add at least a bit more formatting. Even just some colour or bolded titles/section breaks, just so it doesn’t present as much as a wall of text. Fine work all around though.

Welcome, @son_of_moose. Your father, a regular old moose, was an honourable man, and it brings me joy to see his son before us here today.

You both need to just let me supply the rhetoric without knowing context or doing any sort of background or foreground research whatsoever, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I don’t get views for ACCURATE INFORMATION, the people want to see BLOOD AND GUTS! First of all, how dare you, my entire existence in communication is getting lost in points. Second of all, yeah it seemed like it may have been a mic issue or some such. The background noise is one thing, but even so I had my truck speakers at full volume. The shirt pocket might be a clever idea. I personally just drive with one hand and hold the phone in the other like a degenerate. But, as I demonstrated in this episode, that’s not really a safe or comfortable thing to do if you’re city driving and not just cruising down a straight highway.

*LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED* F words. In today's episode, I answer questions from @Phil, including topics around Poopy's career, child discipline, animals, and vacations I guess. I also give a late and half-baked take on @Ricer13's bitching about @Dil and trivia or whatever. I don't know if I really mention either of those people. @Gustav @jacobcarson877 Enjoy!

Fuck Vasteras

I'm not great (read: very bad) at keeping up and supporting your writing, but you're one of the most admirable and impressive people in this community, and even though you've been disappointed with your writing career up to this point, I will always be proud of and impressed with your work!

I was thinking it was half of #2 and all of #4, but seeing all the irrefutable evidence in this thread it's clear to me that #5 is the true truth.

They taste like the way in which an event or course of action is perceived by the public.

Don’t welfare shame! Not everyone can be rich old folks like us.

Sorry I don’t speak Swiss.

Nurx you don’t have to project your inactivity insecurities on this fellow. They may or may not have been referring to you, but even if they were, they were just giving a frank take on how their new member experience was. WHICH, by the way, was technically in 2019, so before your noob ass time. It’s not unreasonable for you and other VHLM’s to have ebbs and flows of activity, and it’s not unreasonable for a member to have a less fulfilling experience during the ebbs. For example, in the EFL, I had a lovely experience with @JetsGoalie101 on the Death Valley Rangers a couple seasons back. However this season with @TheCHEESE behind the wheel, the team is less good and less active and overall has been a less good experience. No doubt there’s reasons for both these things, and I certainly don’t mean to offend or upset a block of cheese, but it is what it is. You win some you lose some.

Welcome Liam, it's rad to have you aboard! How does a seemingly Irish lad find themselves in such a remote place?? I ignorantly assume that nearly anyone north of ~55.15 would have to be indigenous to the area!

If you would have taken the low hanging fruit and went with #FlamingBallz we may have actually gotten to keep him.

Would you expect there to be a contingent of coloured members whose sole purpose is to be friends with first gens? Of course the VHL is designed to make new members feel welcome so that they can stay, that’s the whole point, and that’s certainly not a bad thing. I join the league, I’m made to feel comfortable enough to hang out and do my thing and carve out whatever it is I want to carve out in the league, and I become part of the community. All in the name of recreation and good times. It’s less of a business and more of a non-profit, it’s not like the success of the league is lining anyone’s pocket. Generally, the bigger the community, the more enjoyable it is. Granted, if there was a general feeling of new members feeling like they can’t fit in or that the existing community is too clique-y, that would be a legitimate concern. I personally can’t take Achilles’ concerns seriously even if they were valid due to how unreasonable they’ve been presenting them. There is probably always something that can be done better to help with retention and making people feel welcome, but I think the league as a whole at least has solid bones in doing that.
