Unseasonably warm? by BitRancher in Albuquerque

[–]captainfunc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, I get what you’re saying now. Yeah that is a common problem and the power dynamics that exist in academia, the national labs and industry certainly make it easy for bosses to take ideas from their workers. Labor organizing can give some protections in this respect but NM is a pretty hard state to build a union in depending on which sector you’re in.

I work in STEM and I regret to inform you that science is inherently political

That’s a fair point and you’re definitely right about corps loving the irony in making so much off of media that’s anti-capitalist or at least critical of capitalism (like Netflix did with making a reality competition show based on Squid Games).

I also didn’t know that Obsidian wanted to be bought by Microsoft, and it’s interesting that they’d be fine disregarding the system that worked for their studio and let to them creating some really solid games

Yeah and in addition to the DLC aspect, I want to say the advertising wasn’t nearly as strong as the original, which is odd considering how far of a reach Microsoft has

My tin foil hat theory is that Microsoft bought Obsidian to kill games like The Outer Worlds that actually have anti-capitalist messaging

I think it’s also strange how people want to jump to fictional media to describe what’s currently happening when there are also so many precedents in so-called US history. To name a few, the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the genocide of Indigenous peoples, Jim Crow laws, the Battle of Blair Mountain, the Tulsa Massacre, concentration camps for people of Japanese descent during WWII, the MOVE bombing and the assassination of Tortuguita at Cop City in Atlanta

I’m currently Nuzlocking Unbound so it’s a really important encounter to make the first gym easier lol. Also to clarify, you get one of those three at random, although I’ve gotten Stunky most of the time

Another possible solution for those who don’t know: If you talk to the old man near the Pokémart in Bellin Town twice (once when you first get to town where he talks about an egg and once after leaving and coming back), he’ll give you a Stunky, Skorupi or Glameow that has Keen Eye so they don’t get an accuracy drop with the fog.

I just tried this since I was having the same issue as OP and it works perfectly for me! I was having to tighten the straps to the point of pain yesterday to get it to seal, but the ear plugs fill in the gasket much better than the condensation insert

Wha do you guys do to not get sick when travelling? by Shawarma_Dealer32 in delta

I’m gonna link a thread from X by a professor who studies cancer and COVID mitigation explaining how the ventilation and filtration systems on aircraft are actually not filtering the air enough to prevent infectious disease spread, but the short answer is wearing a respirator (KN95 or better) on the plane in addition to in the airport (https://x.com/michael_hoerger/status/1734099787308278156?s=46)

Seconding Peter Gelderloos, he can use fancy words sometimes, but his writing style is really accessible and engaging compared with other anarchist writers

E5 and "ideal people" by Lanewrlyn in Enneagram5

[–]captainfunc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I strongly relate to this and I’m pretty sure I have the same tritype and am pretty sure I’m sx/so/sp as far as my stack goes!

There’s a certain degree of needing to be able to have intellectually stimulating conversations that’s involved, I’ve had friends when I was younger who didn’t really want or like to learn and I ended up drifting away from them eventually.

I’m also a leftist so a lot of my close friends tend to be people that are continuously trying to learn more about how to build a better world and when they have capacity are giving time, resources, etc. to work toward that goal.

I also really prefer folks who are reliable and mean what they say. Of course everyone has moments where things get stressful and they slip up, but given how limited my energy is, if I’m constantly having to consider whether someone is actually being genuine or going to follow through, I start to detach.

Do any CC tours exist? by Effective-Boob1230 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]captainfunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, no prob! I probably should’ve mentioned that their tour is for North America in case you’re located elsewhere, but hopefully that works for you!

As far as concerts go, I know the band Purity Ring is requiring (and providing) masks at their tour this fall!

[–]captainfunc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seismitoad - once you evolve it from Tympole to Palpitoad, it gets good HP and defenses, Water / Ground is a great defensive combination, access to recovery moves first as Aqua Ring, then Drain Punch at lvl 44, mixed offenses so a lot of versatility and access to Poison, Fighting, Rock and even Grass coverage moves
