No shit it’s us centric answers op asked what the plan was for the “leaders” in the us

There is a relatively unknown (outside of the black community) bias against swimming. Slaves were traumatized to be hydrophobic to prevent escape from slave ships and then there was segregation of pools until relatively recently. This is fortunately fading now, last I checked.

Nope. Couldn’t afford lessons, no one had a pool and I lived in a predominantly black city. I’d like to one day just for safely but I usually just sink like a rock.

Every year is one day. One very long day.

That’s wack af

Dang there goes my patent

Ok so since there’s a bunch of science nerds on here and I’m sleep deprived I’m gonna ask my dumb ftl question.

If you’re on a train and you walk towards the front of the train, your speed measured from outside of the train is the speed of the train (T) plus the speed of you walking (W).

So if there was a train inside of that train, and you walked inside of that, you’d go the speed of the outside train, plus the speed of the inside train, plus your own walking speed.

So what if we had a Russian nesting doll of trains, so that the inner most train was, from the outside, going as fast as light and you walked towards the front? Wouldn’t you be going faster than light if you measured your speed from the outside?

Didn’t come at me with how hard it would be to build a Russian nesting doll of super trains it’s a hypothetical and I’m tired.

You could start by engaging and reaching out. For example, assuming someone doesn’t care because of their race, gender identity and job is kinda shitty. Maybe look into those internal biases.

The next part would be finding out how they are and will be effected by this new presidency. Sometimes people have a hard time caring about a problem if it doesn’t affect them directly. You might have to get to know your coworkers rather than make assumptions about them to learn this.

Being polite and nice to them also helps, no one wants to hear from someone who’s screaming at them.

They’re*

The thing is, a lot of these people are literally Nazis, and I’m starting to wonder if it was “people saying Nazi too much” or it was actually “there was a fuckton of Nazis and no one took people saying that seriously and now there’s Nazis around and people are blaming the folks who were warning others about the Nazis for not seeing Nazis soon enough”

Yarp but it cleared up all right

I’m surprised I didn’t see anyone recommend The Adventure Zone, especially the first season. One of the best actual play podcasts out there, especially the first two seasons.

I’ll recommend some hidden gems that need more love:

• Mabel: A woman works as a live in nurse for an elderly woman, and the show is voicemails she’s leaving to her ward’s estranged daughter. It’s poetic and beautiful, and then strange events start occurring.

• Dark Ages: a fantasy workplace comedy where an unpopular museum gets a new exhibit, the crown of the Dark Lord, who terrorized the country hundreds of years ago… Who just recently was resurrected and wants it back. Probably the best produced shows I’ve listened to with a great intro song.

• The Cryptonaturalist: a very normal nature show that is normal about normal nature. Also has poetry! Actually feel good podcast.

• Wolf 359: science crew is in a remote space station, and picks up a radio signal out of nowhere. Starts off funny, then gets wild.

• Brimstone Valley Mall: three demons disguised as humans, working at a mall in the 90s.

• Cult Or Just Weird: in depth dives into things which could be a cult or are just weird.

• Wooden Overcoats: British comedy podcast about a funeral home in a small village suddenly having to deal with competition

• Everything Is Alive: interviews with inanimate objects

• Uncanny County: Welcome to Nightvale meets Twilight Zone but it’s also funny

Also there’s podcast versions of books written on the Internet, which I’ll plug here!

• Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky: What if Harry was not an idiot and knew what science was and was actually supported at home? Fixes a lot of dumb plot holes from the original series and frankly, is better. Also explores rationalist thinking!

• Worm by Wildbow: This is literally my favorite book and will make you never see the superhero genera the same again. Superpowers can happen to anyone seemingly at random. A young woman gets the power to control insects and wants to be a hero, but after meeting some villains the line between hero and villain blurs. There’s a chapter that’s one short sentence long and I’ve had conversations over an hour long about what it meant.

-Twig by Wildbow: A world where mad, Frankensteinian science took off instead of the regular kind. Follows a child experiment and his fellow childhood experiment friends on adventures for the definitely evil empire!

Pact by, you guessed it, Wildbow: Guy who just pulled himself out of homelessness who hates his crazy manipulative family gets the inheritance from his grandmother, which he didn’t want. Turns out that also involves also inheriting the karma from his family, who were practicing the most hated form of magic possible, diabalism. So now the whole magical community is actively trying to kill him as he’s scrambling to survive

Also if you like audio books, check stuff out from your library, too. It helps them out and helps them get funding when people do stuff like that.

My medieval reenactment camp group is basically The Crick after we found a stump at our campsite.

How do you feel about the sister in law? What’s her take on all this?

If you think literal Nazis being in charge of the country is a small political situation I’d love to hear what the big one is

That’s really sad and disappointing

Wait what happen with Amanda Palmer? I’ve looked her stuff for a while what did she do?

Can we get whomever wrote Handsome Jack to get in charge? 2 was so great because they landed into the humor and fun of the first one instead of shying away from it.

It really broke my heart. I loved Reddit, I was on it on RiF one my phone when I didn’t use my computer. It was great for finding all sorts of new stuff and it was genuinely fun. I’d had a few accounts for like a decade or something, but when they killed the alternate programs I just left and never looked back.
