God I want a tiny electric truck so bad. I mean, i want other things more. But I'd actually use it for more then a bag of groceries.

For me, I started a local group whose focus was community building through direct action. It started with a IRL meeting of like 5 people and has been expanding outwards. We are working on ICE/Cop watch. Community meals. Helping the local housing first project in town. And a section that focuses on the local city council.

We have a lot of things we want to do but we are mostly focusing on building connections and trust in the community. Given we are only a year old, I think we are doing a good job.

All of this to say, reach out to local people and figure out what is the most pressing issues of your community and work on that. Strengthening connections as the empire falls is very important.

Ive used some salt in the past but its so-so effective and it's a pain for the cholesterol.

Its amazing we put something worse in airports then the fucking TSA

I wouldn't call A realm reborn bad. It's just not really as good as HW. The free trial goes past the third expansion too so it would only be time. If you are not interested by the end of Heavensward, then it probably isn't for you. Though idk, I feel like most people could get an idea if they were interested or not pretty fast.

I can speak that the main quest doesnt do any super weird anime bullshit that normally turns me off. Its honestly pretty tame in that regard. But it's def high fantasy.

Honestly I feel the weaker point is that it's a MMO and the mog station (what you use to create an account and shit) is a god damn nightmare.

But as far as story, I think it's the best Final Fantasy story right now. But you do have to like Final Fantasy.

The Youtuber JoeCat has some good videos if its something someone is interested in but they are concern about the commitment. He even has one specifically for how to start and when to start.

Sorry if this is long. It's kind of a lengthy thing to talk about if you want to be fair but honest imo. I absolutely love FF14 but I would never want to mislead someone on it. Cause like anything it's far from perfect and I'd never want to make somone waste money on something. I mean everything else I talked about you can pirate.

• Nier Automata
• Metaphor
• Winter Burrow
• Cozy Caravan
• Okami
• FF14 (MMO though. Good story if you get past ARR though)
• Elden Ring

Idk at the top of my head, big range of moods and time frame

I can't take them seriously as protests and after going to a shit protest back in 2021..idk it fucking broke me driving around a empty building (state capital on the weekend) and no one was there or cared. It felt like such a waste of time.

I'm disabled and also am a recovering agoraphobic (and the most recent body fuckery has not helped). So I have to choose what I use my spoons on.

I helped to created a org that actually does boots on the ground work. And thankfully there are people in there who are willing to go to these things and poach people to us.

I don't think the people doing the local no kings are bad people. I've worked with one personally on a very important local problem with the libraries funding. We succeed, thank god. I just don't have the energy for performative shit and honestly I have a tendency to run my mouth. Not in a "fuck you liberal" way but Ill say something I think is obvious like "Well yeah ICE is bad but also the cops are working with them that proves that cops are our enemy" and I'll piss someone off. Hell not even that something like "Oh people addicted to drugs are not evil".

Like I just do not know how to talk to a certain level of liberal at some point. Ive tried. I've done all my tricks in my autism book and nothing.

I definitely recommend using these things to connect with people if you can. Cause we have gotten people who have wanted to do more then just stand around and do nothing. You can't really complain about America if you are not doing something to counter act it and build/do something better.

You don't need a time machine to go back in time

All the time.

I have a rule now that I respond genuinely the first time. Response to it will dictate if I block and move on or not.

No problem! Happy Birding!

I got a ebike and then my disabilities have gotten worse. It's pissing me off tbh. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't live in the mountains in America Appalachia.

We have a hybrid and there is a shitty bus system (doesn't even run on weekends) but fuck me I want to bike dammit. I hope to build back to it.

Can confirm this works. A lot of these people dont have proper outlets and are just reaching out to something. If you show up with a group that is actually building and doing shit then a lot of those will show up.
