I was just talking about this earlier. The startup I worked for a bunch of years ago hired a lot of people to do customer support and some manual tasks. Most of that is likely automated away now by AI. Well, most of the people hired then went on to successful careers. Lots of directors and managers in that cohort now. They got their start at an entry level job, made connections, learned a lot of stuff. But that kind of job is rarer now.

Capitalism is like a cancer. It grows and grows and grows and kills the host. It knows nothing else.

I barely saw anything about protests today

I'm not aware of any NYC communities, even inactive ones, on the fediverse, though I haven't looked very hard. That link you provided errors out, if it's supposed to work.

I walk past a couple bars a lot and they seem to have the same amount of people. All the outside tables had folks last night.

I'm not going to bars because I'm unemployed. Like I say, if capital wants me to spend money they can give me some, first.

I'd like to see a community for cool stuff happening in NYC.

I'd like to see more stuff for organizing protests and resistance, also for the NYC area.

Makes sense. The rich don't try to prevent unionization and collective action purely out of spite.

Same.

I read that book right after taking like English 400: Theory and Criticism, so I was like "yeah it has footnotes but doesn't every book have footnotes?" Then I recommended it to a friend who hadn't read a book more complex than harry potter in 20 years, and her brain like caught fire.

I send people to https://nohello.net/en/ all the time

Most people don't know or care about reddit details. Every post could kick a puppy and people would be like "oh I forgot. But it's where the content is so"

I have zero interest in this. :old man yells at cloud:

If they're not going to leave the Republican party they're trash, still

The sidewalks are usually more removed. More than just a painted line, anyway.

Though where my folks live in the suburbs there's rarely sidewalks

 

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?
