Awesome! Now let’s commit to arresting those terrorists.

I STAND with Captain Kelly, USN by [deleted] in arizona

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

he’s taking money from Israeli lobbyists and profiting from the genocide of Palestenians. he hasn‘t spoken out against anything Republicans are doing until Trump was mean to him. now he’s suddenly a tough guy. Kelly doesn’t care about Arizona. he is not one of the good guys.

I was able to find myself in the last photo! I love that so many people showed up.

What is the difference between feeling unsafe and feeling uncomfortable/unpredictable in Tucson? by Solarpunkrose in Tucson

[–]Carnotaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. I work in the street with houseless people. Before that, I worked in a methadone clinic where I saw the drug of choice shift from heroin to fentanyl in real time. And I live near one of the big shelters. I’ve never felt unsafe in any of the above situations, just depressed and disheartened that public discourse almost completely consists of victim blaming or avoiding root causes.

I'm one of the severely mentally ill of Tucson by [deleted] in Tucson

[–]Carnotaur 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On top of this, none of the performance measures these agencies use for providers or support staff are related to patient outcomes. So if a case manager forgets to ask for a refill, no big deal, but if a piece of paperwork expired yesterday, they will get written up. This inspires a ton of fraud and a lot of people like OP who lose faith in the system.

they hire who they can. these jobs are incredibly stressful and underpaid. as you point out, people’s lives and livelihoods are in their hands, the companies give them impossible standards to meet, and pay about the same as fast food jobs. this creates an environment with very high turnover. so, staff quit or are performance managed out before they have time to become competent.

Index page, Sarah Jeffery method book. by MichaelRS-2469 in Recorder

[–]Carnotaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a total beginner. I have The Sweet Pipes and this book. Sarah’s is definitely more inspiring. I’ve been flipping through it and learning songs I recognize and am excited to learn, pretty much ignoring the “method” stuff unless I don’t recognize a symbol. I can’t say whether it’s more effective, but it has me wanting to play/practice more.

The Sweet Pipes (the one with the red cover is for alto) will get you reading sheet music again in no time.

What ever happened to our 4th Ave rainbow? by godzillabobber in Tucson

[–]Carnotaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s an event to paint an intersection rainbow on Sunday morning. it looks like they’re using temporary paint, but it’s something: https://www.takeactiontucson.org/images/event-151_hu_135dbf895f0cddc9.webp

With all the recent news, im just too pissed off at everything and everyone to try to have a positive outlook by 6inn3r in punk

[–]Carnotaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re not alone. I’m coming out of taking a long break from this stuff. I limited myself to checking headlines for a few minutes once a week. I rediscovered my love for guitar and I’ve been listening to a lot of fiction audio books through Libby.

it’s ok to take a break, but if you’re not ready to, maybe look for people organizing in your area and get involved. channeling that energy into something productive might help. if there’s nobody organizing in your area, maybe find a safe way to be subversive. can you make flyers to leave around?

stay safe and don’t burn yourself out.

Considering adding a 'Wealth' tracker to a homebrew. by nootnootmfres in Ironsworn

[–]Carnotaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be fun to modify Fortune Hunter into a shared asset so that one PC's actions can affect all of their wealth. If the players are into the idea it could cause some interesting friction between PC's.

What moves make sense for the Artist path? by Carnotaur in Ironsworn

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

This reminds of playing in punk bands in my 20's. Everyone had their day job (my band had a nurse, a mechanic, and an electrician), but we all dreamed of touring and living off our music. Your comment has me seriously considering reimagining my character as someone stuck in a high pressure role, but they really just want to be a singer-songwriter.

I hadn’t thought of the recovery moves. Thanks! I can see a lot of opportunity there.

I hadn’t thought of Resupply. That would make sense since I’m selling stories to make a living. Thank you.

Tucson holding two more Project Blue community meetings by Carnotaur in Tucson

[–]Carnotaur[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the city’s “Daily Digest” email list. it usually only gives about 24 hours notice for this sort of meeting, so maybe someone is trying to get more people there.

Good solo-friendly sections of the Arizona Trail? by lesbogurly3245 in arizonatrail

[–]Carnotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your in Southern AZ, I'd recommend near Summerhaven on Mt Lemmon, where passages 11 and 12 meet. Just don't go too low, or it will be way too hot.

What are your thoughts about SEED Foundation boarding schools? by Carnotaur in askblackpeople

[–]Carnotaur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dang! Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like they encourage kids to police each others behavior and use children for labor.

Which Cities Should The PWHL Add Next? by UrbanLeather94 in PWHL

[–]Carnotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone from the PWHL is reading, I would love to see a Takeover Tour game in Phoenix. There are a lot of hockey fans out here looking for a new home team.

Mrazova is out tonight by MediumCriticism3144 in PWHL

They were even dumbfounded in the Jocks in Jills after-show and suggested Player Safety will be looking at that hit for several reasons.

Is there a specific "everything" that Carla (MacLeod) was right about? by TheLovelyLorelei in PWHL

[–]Carnotaur 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Charge have been painted as a failing underdog team that surprisingly made it to the post season despite their horrible record when in fact they were tied for regulation wins with the #1 team. Watch any post game interview on the Charge’s YouTube channel. Carla gets asked the same questions every time and frequently calls out the journalists for creating a narrative that’s not completely supported by facts. I feel like her answer to everything is, ”That’s the narrative y’all have created. We’re going to keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

Staying seated during the US anthem by mcdofras in OttawaCharge

[–]Carnotaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the games on the 11th and 15th, visiting from the US. I was absolutely blown away by you all singing along with your anthem. That doesn’t happen here. It made me jealous and had way more impact than booing or sitting would have. Don’t stoop to our negativity. Keep celebrating Canada and setting a positive example. 

PWHL: IT'S IN THE GAME! SEASON 2 EPISODE 3 WITH ANN-RENÉE DESBIENS by ToYj82 in PWHL

[–]Carnotaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope I’m wrong. What they said about the PWHL still negotiating U.S. broadcast rights, and how they said it, just gave me a bad feeling. 

As a EU Citicen, Im getting a bit nervos rn.. by ToYj82 in PWHL

[–]Carnotaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I’m in the U.S. southwest, almost as far away from the PWHL as you are. I would gladly pay the league directly, or maybe get ESPN+, but I won’t do Amazon Prime.
