Luigi Mangione charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO as an act of terrorism
  • One: Peter Thiel is a horrible person and I hope Saint Luigi visits him.

    Two: They could chose to change their behavior and be much safer. Stop profiting from exploitation and suffering. You don't even have to go all the way to being a "good person". No one's going to assassinate the guy who quietly lives in a 3BR apartment and spends his afternoons at the museum, even if he's living off high interest savings accounts.

  • 41% of young voters say UnitedHealthcare CEO killing "acceptable": Emerson College poll
  • I tried to get a grand jury to nullify drug charges once. It was extremely depressing. Everyone was like "but we have to follow the rules. They told us."

    Grand jury is simple majority. Everyone else voted to indict. Even the juror that was sleeping, snores and all, indicted on every charge.

  • Substack
  • There's a couple bands I like that do email for updates and such. I think the one from Worriers uses Ghost, based on the fine print at the bottom of the page ( https://getittogether.laurendenitzio.com/ )

    Personally I like it a lot more than social media. I think moving everything to Facebook et al was a mistake

  • Your results may vary
  • I had an NPC in a RPG that was kind of like this. A werewolf was going berserk in a church. The players were like "Reg! Get out of there!". Reg sees the werewolf rip a corporate stooge in half and come running at him. He goes, "Bro. Fucking metal."

    Rolls really high on his social check. Werewolf high fives him and just runs by to go murder more corporate leadership.

  • ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
  • It's some sort of irony that I don't think things will change for the better without violence. The ultra wealthy that drive a lot of culture war bullshit, that enshittify everything for more profits and "growth", who pollute the air we breathe and water we drink, aren't going to just give up power.

    I'm just so tired of everything being so needlessly bad. Stop shooting kids and teachers. They aren't the problem.

  • US Americans, where do you get your groceries?
  • There's a supermarket I walk to most of the time. There's a food co-op I also go to sometimes, but it's a little farther and pricier. There's another grocery store I'd go to sometimes when I was dating someone who lived closer to it. And rarely I'll get something from some of the other little markets along one of the main streets.

    Walkable, healthy, neighborhoods are great. This isn't even a super expensive area.

  • Defense fund established by supporters of suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione tops $100,000
  • Referring to the Thompson killing, Frankel added, "You can be up in arms about the healthcare industry, but you can't threaten or actually hurt members of the healthcare industry."

    Right. They can hurt you but you can't hurt them.

  • How the sunrise and sunset times would be affected by abolishing daylight saving time in the USA. Would you prefer to keep it or drop it?
  • I would accept just using standard time.

    I think it would be less work to just be like "let's meet at 15:00" and not have to worry about it on my end. I guess you could just pick a time zone. We do that at work- we just talk about eastern time and make everyone else do the conversion.

  • Microsoft Recall screenshots credit cards and Social Security numbers, even with the "sensitive information" filter enabled
  • I feel like it should be illegal to sell user information like that, but clearly I don't make the laws.

    But yes that's a good point that stealing bank info is worse than porn preferences. Though the way things are going, looking at gay stuff might be a hazard in some parts of the US.

    Man, what a stupid dystopia this is.

  • Who's playing in the .32 tournament?

    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.

    how do people feel about spears?

    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.

    How are your metamor relationships?

    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.

    Polyamory & Open Relationships @kbin.run jjjalljs @ttrpg.network

    How do you find other poly people?

    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)

    Looking for a Thursday Evening Game

    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.

    What's up with memes suffixed with "rule"?

    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?
