Also Uber just sucks. It's a private for profit solution (that lost money for years) to transit, which should be a public problem to work on.
Conservatives are like toddlers. Emotion driven to the point of having no mapping to reality, truth, and causality.
This is my favorite new to me song of the month: https://pearlcharlesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/does-this-song-sound-familiar-12-version

But if you so much as joke about how maybe we should shoot a couple republican leaders well that's inappropriate violence is BAD, but only when it's visceral and fast. Slow deaths are cool, I guess.
Owning or renting a home has the same requirements of dependency on multiple companies
Are you suggesting people go without homes? And that's analogous to going without a car?
Maybe you're really radical and want free public housing like people want free public transit, but that's far outside the overton window.
DeSantis is a sack of shit and I hope he gets flushed down a toilet.
happy to pay some money for mobility in exchange for all that.
Most of the costs are probably externalized and not paid for by you
Also good neighbors vs bad neighbors isn't intrinsic to city vs country. You could easily have a neighbor out there that shoots guns unsafely , or feeds bears, or whatever. I had a whole DND crew here in the city that we could walk to each other's places.
But this is kind of getting off the topic of cars aren't the freedom people say they are.
I realized this very quickly when I moved to the city. No longer had to worry about parking, gas, insurance, how to get home when i'm tired or drunk. It's pretty great.
No one I know wants to go into the office just-because, but they also don't want to starve. When the choice is yield or die, it's not much of a choice.
I really dislike that the incompetent dolts who can't adapt to the internet are dragging everyone else down. I don't want to be in an uncomfortable office, losing hours a day to a commute, so someone can walk up to me and say "Hey" instead of using slack.
You know what works stupidly well? Get the biggest shield in the game, and a poke weapon.
You can poke through Malenia's self-heal. It takes a little longer than dodging, but it's far safer.
Consort Radahn with a big shield is a joke. Took 4 minutes, two tries. The first try failed because I didn't see where he was coming from when he did his nuclear sky bomb attack.
Whatever it is, most people don't engage with it.
the well? they're great. friendly at their shows too.
Not by going directly for a moonshot at the presidency. You spend years getting people involved in local politics, then work your way up. State and local governments have power, even if it's "boring".
That or a coup or other violent, abrupt, wildcards.
I played Arcanum so much. Definitely better in turn based mode.
If only they were physical attacks. Musk is a vile piece of shit with incomprehensible wealth and he's squandering it. Worse, he's making the world worse. I want him to suffer. I want him removed from power and I want him to feel pain. I want every sad little man that would follow in his footsteps to see musk dangling from the gallows and think better.
why do we let these conservative "influencers" sleep at night? I hope someone sets his house on fire shoots him when he runs out. Let him die sobbing in a pool of his blood and piss, confused and alone.
I imagine there are some "written in blood" laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.
I read that airbnb lead to rents rise, because it made it so easy for landlords to run their property like hotels. I don't use them, and kind of think lowly of people that are like "well it's convenient so i don't care".
Feels like there should be large disruptive protests around wherever ICE is headquartered. Surely they have offices?
Not sure if this community is dead, but here we are!
I kind of stopped playing new versions around .28 because I really disliked the opportunity attacks mechanism, but I thought I'd give .32 a try. The new shapeshifter things look cool, but in fussing with it a bit it's harder than I expected.
But now the tournament is live! Who's playing?
https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.32/
I currently have one win with ye olde MiBe. Got lucky with good armor early on, and then cruised to a 3 rune (shoals + snake + vaults) win.
There was one dicey moment in the lungs where I went around the corner to reveal 4 orbs of fire, some draconians, and a lightning golem all waiting for me. Hasted + Fog'd my way the hell out there.
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?
