I’ve never understood the Starting Soon screen

Like it’s so disappointing for a viewer to hit a go live notification only to be hit with a 5m wait screen. Plus, being live right away lets me hang out with the viewers that are there before the notification

Anyone feel the same?

My twitch notification takes a few minutes to push through. If I start stream the majority of viewers will miss the first few minutes of what I say (when I’m normally catching up with my day / week) and I’ll have to repeat it all loooool

I always felt like it was a way for people to get in before the streamer actually starts talking. I've been told before that some viewers like being there for the first words of the stream and a Starting Soon screen gives more people a chance for that!

Most people don't have viewers immediately (I know, I don't) and it helps me send out all social media notifications by hand AFTER I hit the live button, so that I'm not lying about that live bit. 2-5 minutes is not a long time to wait, you know?

Most viewers aren’t seeing the notification immediately. If I do see a notification right away, it gives me time to wrap up what I’m doing or grab a drink/snack before the stream starts. I’m not waiting 20 min, but I can wait 5 minutes for a couple hours of entertainment.

I used to be pretty anti-starting soon screen, but now I consider:
- Twitch notifications take 3-5 minutes to send in most cases
- Many people like to not miss gameplay or initial hellos
- There is almost always a "let me hit me resub button" rush during the start period

Calling all blog/CMS nerds: many of our systems have an idea of a “day” worth of content: archives, dialy digests, etc. My question is: what defines the current “day”? Is it from my perspective as the author? The reader’s? What about email digests?

I've decided a "day" is my day, local time. That means if I travel to another timezone, the day might change in weird ways. You can see some of the side effects of this on my day archive pages when I've traveled across the date line. Some days are super long, others have almost no posts.

When I was a kid, my mom said she was going to slap me into next year.

I called her and asked if the offer was still available.

why is the active voice used for protestors (“protestors struck a journalist”) but not for police (“a photographer was shot,” “a reporter was hit”)?

Agreed. I feel deeply sad and infuriated, yet paralyzed by how broken my country’s culture is. I want to help, but I also don’t want to inadvertently help “wrong”.

Tweeting isn’t much, and my votes in NY mostly don’t count. What ELSE should I do? Good organizations to donate to?

Still *somehow* I’m hopeful that the 2030s will be better than we can ever imagine them right now. Lots of pain between now and then and lots more work to be done.

Not even 6 months into the 2020s and we've already written off the entire decade 😂😭 is that the point we're at right now

2020 has been a bumpy ride over here in America.

* a global pandemic killing 100,000+ Americans? Check.
* race-wars spilling into the streets? Check.

And it's not even June.

Don't worry, there's still time for the earthquake
