It's a book describing a real life attempt at libertarianism.

I feel like there are more senior job openings, but fewer entry level and mid level. At least with software, I'm seeing a lot of senior and "founding" posts. Maybe the Internet spy machine just thinks I should go for senior only, but I'd take mid level.

Nice! I switched my desktop from win11 to popos this weekend. So far so good, but all I've done is play some games (guild wars 2, binding of Isaac) and some quick tests (camera, HDMI to the TV, music)

...what?

Also have you read "a libertarian walks into a bear"?

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 points 3 hours ago (5 children)

libertarians have neither

I would say that an ideology based on non-violence, choice and responsibility, with those being impossible to delegate, is exactly about having a heart and a brain at least potentially, unlike the rest

Lol what. That's not what libertarianism means in practice. In the real world it's always "I don't want to pay for other people, even if that means defunding the fire department so my house burns down".

They consider safety, reliability, how fun or not the person is, everything, but that everything is more practical than moral.

Being conservative is mutually exclusive with being safe.

High density is pretty sweet. I walk outside and there's like 3 groceries within a short walk. Sprawl and wastelands kind of suck

I've been saying for years "self driving cars are solving the wrong problem". The problem isn't that I have to steer my car. The problem is I need a fucking car to go anywhere worth going.

I get a lot of music from Bandcamp. Unfortunately while unemployed I'm not spending much money on fun

I've read that a lot of users, including youth, don't really understand file systems because modern computers don't make you.

Personally I think just letting people live in ignorance is a mistake. Some people can't be helped but I think many could, if presented with learning opportunities, if the default wasn't bad.

Sounds good. Having all the houses over there while everything else is over here was a stupid idea.

I'm sure there are people who like their rolling sea of samey houses with no commerce, but some people have poor taste and bad ideas.

The CEO at my old company really likes the expression "Let's fucking go" for some reason. Lots of "LFG" in the work chat. I guess he eats a lot of LinkedIn slop or something.

But to me, "LFG" means looking for group. I'm sitting here like why is the CEO spamming for group content during the work day, and he's not even saying what role he's playing.

 

I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.

 

Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.

Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.

I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.

 

For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.

But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.

(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)

 

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

 

Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.

Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
