2·3 days agoNot exactly. “Club sports” have become a way that a lot of children players are developed; it is now out of the ordinary that a kid only plays school varsity sports.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Soccer and basketball academies in the United States should be completely free or very low costEnglish
1·3 days agoIt is a school designed to develop players in a sport. Soccer is known for this, with major European teams having deep academy structures as a way to develop players.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is Nickleback so hated? I think they made the perfect song for America after 9/11 with Hero.English
9·4 days agoI think that, along with it, no one really loved Nickelback. They came in at the right time with the right sound which was ok to listeners. When they started getting overplayed, there wasn’t a major fan base who still wanted to keep listening.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving?English
3·5 days agoOne bit of difference between forests in the UK and those in the western US and parts of Australia is that the forests in the second group included fires as part of the lifecycle of the forest. The release of seeds occurs after a fire and some trees are able to resist fires of a certain temperature.
The problem is that white settlers saw the fires as bad, doing a really good job at preventing forest fires. The problem with doing that is that the forests now have a far higher energy density than they were evolved for, so modern fires are a lot worse.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is America going to have a population problem like other countries are have nowadays?English
1·5 days agoTrump’s anti-immigration push isn’t going to help things, but the USA has an oddly high fertility ratio given its wealth. It will be a problem, but not as bad as other countries.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Will the next president of America have to do a world wide apology tour for this administration? Kind of like celebs do when they get their ass in a sling.English
8·6 days agoI don’t think it will work. Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for not being W Bush and then the USA elected Trump twice.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What year did white people start twerking in earnest?English
1·7 days agoYeah, it does. It isn’t a perfect descriptor and it varies over time. However, if you are taking about a group self identifying as an ethnicity that other groups could recognize, you could probably get a timeframe of a dance that they started to do within a few years. You’re obviously not going to get an exact date and time, but you can get an approximate idea in years as to when a dance when from not being done to being done.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What year did white people start twerking in earnest?English
1·7 days agoI’m talking about a self descriptor, not a genetic test. If a group of people self identified as “White”, what group would I expect to see.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Fresh fruit is better than any dessertEnglish
1·7 days agoThis is an unpopular opinion I agree with.
At this point, I’d look for a new job. They’re looking for a reason to fire you.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does it seem like the majority of people think problems are caused by drugs rather than problems causing people to turn to drugs?English

1·7 days agoForgive my American centrism, but what other culture would use the term “white” when discussing a group in relation to Black and Afro-Carribean cultural elements?
