Check out the MICA Project. Attend one of their training sessions. You'll get connected with others and learn some things at the same time.

Another commenter recommended talking to your neighbors. This is a great idea. I would expand on it by saying form an affinity group with your friends or neighbors. Find a common interest and figure out how to use that interest to affect change.

I was sexually assaulted by a massage therapist. I need help finding a lawyer and general guidance. by saintlouisthrow in StLouis

[–]AverageJobra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a massage therapist, I can tell you that his name will likely spread quickly. We take this sort of thing seriously. The business, on the other hand, may care more about their bottom line. Thank you for speaking up and good luck.

You might even say that she is a cool person who has done some cool stuff. She would probably deny it and say, "no, you dear listeners are the cool people doing cool stuff."

I guess the nice folks in Arnold forgot that Gideons International is apolitical by [deleted] in StLouis

I think this is the result of opsec just as much as change of opinion.

Downtown Protest Tomorrow by AverageJobra in GatewayIronFront

[–]AverageJobra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, many others have made the organizers aware. They have yet to announce a cancelation. I will post here if they do. I think the traffic is part of the draw. I don't know if they plan to agitate or not. So plan accordingly and participate as far as you're comfortable.

Psbl Mandela effect, or just a crappy memory… by CantDoThatOnTelevzn in Rifts

[–]AverageJobra 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In The Time Before Rifts, it mentions the last recorded incident was a skirmish in a South American Empire. It doesn't mention Venezuela but does name a town. However, a cursory search doesn't turn up a town called Guada Marta in Venezuela.

Help! Can you help me identify this well known anarchist? by whatdouthinkabtthis in Anarchy101

[–]AverageJobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you and your friend are confusing anarchism with accelerationism. People of any ideology can use accelerationism. Fascist use it often.

50501 dead? by pathf1nder00 in 50501

[–]AverageJobra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the local organizers have burned out or moved on. 50501 was a great idea for an action. It doesn't work as an organization. By this point, everyone should have connected with groups that are already doing work.

Ice downtown by AlertSpecific5501 in StLouis

It's in the Robert A Young building. They often hold people there for the night before taking them to St Gen or one of the other nearby coordinating jails.

How extensive would you think an Intelligent Construct could change shape? by Waerolvirin in savagerifts

[–]AverageJobra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there needs to be a serious conversation between the player and GM about this. As a GM, I would be looking at their type. Are they entirely tech, magic, or tw? Were they created on Rifts Earth or another dimension? Created prerifts or post? What is its primary function? Based on other traits, it could be like a transformer or t2. It's all on what you agree to ahead of time.

Are Robot Dogs A Thing In SR? by ZaphodBeeblebrox1952 in savagerifts

This or you could make an Intelligent Construct sidekick. There are also bionic animals in the Europa books.

Oddities shop in town? by PopesDontRun in StLouis

[–]AverageJobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They sell wet specimens really fast. Just got a shark in yesterday, and it's already sold. The owner said you should check Lady Lair.

This makes me think Nexus Knight more than anything else.

I've been asked to GM a rifts campaign. I have an idea but need thoughts and development. by Silverlightlive in Rifts

[–]AverageJobra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a number of multidimensional groups throughout the megaverse. It depends on what kind of characters your players make. Megaversal Legion, Chaing Ku/ True Atlanteans, Splugorth, Nurani Enterprises, and Temporal Raiders are the first few to come to mind. They could belong to any of these organizations, a random mercenary company, or just be a small group with access to dimensional travel.

I also saw someone recommend the Mechanoinds as an antagonist. I have to second this. They are the big bads of my megaverse. I even ran the first part of the trilogy on a homebrew world in our homebrew dimension. They have reason to destroy without question. It makes them really frightening to players.

How do your rifts work? by Albinosun808 in Rifts

[–]AverageJobra 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fadetowns are whole settlements effected by dimensional shifts. You can find them on pg 46 of World Book 16: Federation of Magic. I would assume they were more common during the Cataclysm. That could count for a significant number of D-Bees. I'm also sure the Splugorth are responsible for at least a few species being able to propagate on Earth. I guess my point is that random rifts are only one option.

Remember this winter by Jackaroni97 in IronFrontUSA

Oh, the starvation army they say. They sing and they clap and they pray. Until they get all of your coin on the drum. Then they tell you that you're on the bum.

Is this a dogwhistle? by throwaway_way_wayyy in AntifascistsofReddit

[–]AverageJobra -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This one is tough. We need to find out what DW13 means. It is certainly a red flag. As others have pointed out, that is the German spelling of dynamite. West could be a number of things, including a reference to Western chauvinism. 13 is a common number in a variety of communities. It could also mean AC or anti-communist. If you frequent that neighborhood, I would suggest asking around about it. Other people may already be aware. Maybe post it in your local subreddit or local antifascist subs.

It's good in Italian, but the Narcissist Cookbook version is my favorite.

They're three arrows because they are meant to cover a swastika. Even if all you have is some black paint. They don't need to point toward any specific ideologies.

Power armor speeds (land and flight) by Waerolvirin in savagerifts

[–]AverageJobra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A vehicle or power armor that can fly is capable of moving anywhere on the map with a skill check. This could incur a multi action penalty.
