A couple years ago I dated someone for a while, mid 30s, who was still carrying around "omg BACON" and closely related memes in her personal lexicon. It was strange. She seemed genuinely surprised when I said I didn't want bacon, in part because I don't like it that much but also because eating meat is often at best morally dubious.

Relationship didn't work out, but ended without animosity. But this reminded me of that- the "omg bacon!" thing was bland and unpleasant when it was new, but in the 2020s it's worse.

Not sure where the details are. I hit find an action and it took me to a page that says 0 events in New York :|

One: Where are they going to go? They could move someplace more lawless, and then maybe get killed and lose everything.

Two: Ok, go. Leave your stuff here, though. Spreading wealth out over more people is better for everyone.

Cool. I've been off Spotify for years. Buying music from Bandcamp and similar has worked out. (Though now that I'm unemployed I'm not spending any money, but like I always say if capital wants me to spend money they have to pay me some first)

I wonder if it would change anything if instead of a quiz you just like handed people a printout of like a summary of how government works from Wikipedia. Like, maybe convert some people who think the president makes laws.

It would probably still be corrupted by conservatives, sadly.

Social media was always kind of garbage, and the modern algorithmically sorted stuff is worse.

I'd rather just text my friends

I don't really use Spotify anymore. I started buying albums mostly on Bandcamp and I feel pretty good about it. Less beholden to shitty capitalism for-profit hellscape

Capitalism leads to bad outcomes like this, yep.

Did you independently reinvent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Savings_System or did you know about the history?

I don't want to share my location nor have anyone else's shared with me.

Friends and partners can text "I'll be there in 5"

My friend shares her location with her mother. Her mother then nags her with like "Are you seeing someone new? You're spending a lot of time in north brooklyn now." Like, who needs that, or even the temptation of that?

A tech solution is not going to fix a social/mental problem like fear of cheating.

If I was going to make something like this, it would have to incorporate trust chains. I don't care if some maga-hat says this lady is horrible. I care if my good friend Alex says she's horrible. One person's "this person won't shut up about communism" is a big red flag (no pun intended) but for someone else that's the dream.

When you sign up, you'd need to be referred to someone or be a root node. Anyone connected to you can be weighted differently. If some section of the tree is misbehaving, prune it.

But that's a lot of work

I don't understand why people are making plans they don't want to do. I see this kind of thing all the time and I don't get it at all. I like doing stuff. That's why I agreed to do it. I got invited to something I didn't want to do this weekend, and I said no thanks. Just sitting at home scrolling the internet or playing a video game is fine, but it's way less rewarding than doing stuff with other people.

Maybe the internet just selects more for introverts and sad people?

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.

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?
