What role can systems of mutual aid among the organized play to address the risk and encourage continued participation (e.g. voluntary distribution of food to those who need it, temporary housing/boarding of siblings of the cause by those with room, etc.)?

I 100% don’t have an answer, this is just what comes to mind first when I read this.

Fair enough - everyone has a different reaction. I probably also should have mentioned the hash and beer that usually follow this, always end up ready for bed by 0200ish myself.

Hooray for legal poly drug abuse! (?)

You’re missing out. A coffee at 1900 or 2000 with just enough whiskey for taste is my jam on a Friday night.

After watching this video and a few other playthroughs, I didn’t feel a need to actually play it. But I am thrilled that it exists, and love the idea of someone having the opportunity to play it blind (though how would you even come across it these days if not through exposure via Youtube or other media?).

Such a cool mod.

Excel is a dev environment for us folks who aren’t 100% sure what a dev environment actually is.

I’ve at least evolved to the point that I know better options exist, and higher ups should talk to the people who know what those options are and how they can leveraged. Those people are busy, though, so the cycle continues…

Fuck that, give me another version of Pokemon Master Trainer.

I wouldn’t say it’s bad so much as it’s simplified and incomplete. Some of us cough develop defense mechanisms designed to keep other people away, and at one point it may have been for good reasons. Down the road, though, you find yourself keeping those defences when they no longer serve you, which isolates you from others.

For these folks, acknowledging that they’re doing this, finding ways to safely lower their guard, and slowly exposing themselves to more people and experiences can help with that loneliness.

This is the kind of thing I get from this image. But this situation does not address all causes or types of loneliness, just one possible factor.

I never held any real hope for the flying car, and always thought the moon cities were predicted way earlier than would be feasible.

The real question is where. is. my. god damn. hoverboard!?

Depends on the kink. Leather, whips, and paddles? Always been at least a little cool. Electroplay? Very cool.

Diaper play? To each their own, but not cool.

Two choices:

1. Medical mask and sunglasses (preferably those boxy ones people wear over regular glasses). Few people question medical masks these days.
2. Embrace the lunacy, and wear whatever mask/facial covering you think is cool/funny. Life’s short and a lot of people would do well to embrace harmless weirdness.
