• Wear clothing that isn't immediately identifiable; eg, don't wear your favorite jacket.

• Bring pepper spray, but only use it to get away (run!) from danger if you're under active threat. Test it before you need it!

• Always keep an exit open and stick close to allies. Bullies look for stragglers: don't be one.

• Ask your allies for literally anything you need- they should be there to help!

(Solid coinage, IMO. "Rentropy", the acceleration towards failure as rent-seeking escalates.)

If you think that what's happening to Reddit today can't or won't happen to Github or Jira or your CI tools tomorrow, buckle up.

Community accessibility and disaster recovery are the same thing. You don't think so until you've had a laptop stolen or a critical vendor silently go dark; then you learn that the thing you built to help new community members install your product and your dev env in one step is the same thing that will save you from the rentropy of a suddenly extortive dependency.

hey did you know I spent 2011-2015 doing a crazy graphic novel about a robot lady dragged outside of reality by her ex-boyfriend? It's all free online, or you can still buy a printed copy.

if you are on a phone then turn it sideways please, it's a very horizontal sort of affair that runs multiple color-coded timelines in parallel.

Slowly feeling more and more frustrated at Google search. It's just so... useless these days?

Bind is not that far ahead, and etc. Everything seems to try and do bullshit "AI" semantic search that just... makes you add "FUCKING BIRD" to queries like "finch" :)

Searching for retro stuff, like USSR mainframe tape images? Lmao. Lol. Hah.

The only reason I found these was a link from a friend to a relevant forum.

And many many other frustrating examples...

Dragons with rock tumblers get all the kobolds, just sayin

Sometimes self care is making your favorite dish for your favorite people and enjoying their company late into the night

So like sure, constantly returning to racist/sexist tropes sucks.
And being basically the final holdout of "this race is just evil by nature" mentality.
And putting rediculous effort to become The Only TTRPG.
And 5e basically being 50% "I dunno GM, you figure out the rules instead of having out $90 books explain them"
And just everything to do with fostering combatative player-vs-gm mentality.
And sure they refuse to do anything to reign in the bigots they employ.

BUT.

BBUUTT.

The only real reason to truly hate Gygax is that he refused to accept this is the correct shape for dragonborn.

If your company lays people off without notice, you are under no moral obligation to provide them notice if you intend to quit.

Just stop showing up. If they keep paying you, that's their business.

guys can we make a free internet library archive where we can all drop books and webpages where there is actually useful information not written by chatgpt?

because i don't want to lose my only learning resources and be left alone without the ability to advance my skills and pursue my artistic passions

if anybody knows anything please tell me

feel free to boost

Might as well look for a better job.

But, my skills v. much do NOT include effectively *looking* for work. At all.

I've worked in the translation industry (10+ yrs full-time plus freelance work), I speak PL natively, EN near-perfectly, some FR. Know some coding basics.

Will do just about anything (ethical) for $1900+/€1700+ per month. Stable-ish, trans-friendly and remote work would be best, but any paid work I'm capable of doing is great.

If we accept that capitalism encourages people to take risks and cause harm where it is likely to result in a personal monetary gain, then it's not hard to conclude that individuals drawn to management within industries of questionable ethics may very likely trend narcissist if not full on sociopath.

I know an old punk
whose pierced nose
remains hidden
behind the N95 mask
he dutifully wears
and when I ask him
if he still wears it
because his aesthetic
has never cared for norms
he replies that he wears it
because nothing is more punk
than giving a shit
about other people.
