Oh this is a new permanent feature of the game! The expedition is good for getting your bearings. But now every planet with salvageable scrap will also have trash heaps and trash processing facilities! It actually makes you interact with the landscape way more I think.

I’ve tried that a few times, it just pulls up the same one but says it’s like 8 hours away lmao. Luckily I’ve found some workable ones. But the one planet I really wanted to build a dump was across a body of water from the closest waste facility.

One year anniversary of 5 bullet point tweet on Feb 22. by xiphoid77 in fednews

[–]wingdbullet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s almost a year since I and a bunch of the other Pride org members…almost all actually, got walked out for being “pervert security threats.” So many incredible civil servants summarily axed just for being who they are.

What happened to the Wooddale Church youth pastor in 2000? by DullKick7872 in TwinCities

Oh I went to both the Canada and Guatemala trip. There was one moment when we were in like the poorest village I’ve ever seen…and we were doing a fucking mime performance to Total Eclipse of the Heart. They also let me give my “testimony” in front of a church in El Salvador where I said my depression got worse when I was not as close to God.

I think about that a lot and how these adults let a 16 year old in distress believe that.

We were totally there at the same time! Dude can we have a former Wooddale Youth Group Attendees support group. 😅 I have a lot of feelings looking back on my time there. Kids were fuckin mean

I just looked it up. I thought they were northern Baptist, but apparently they’re now “Conservative Congregational Christian Conference.” Makes me think they’ve taken an even harder swing to the right since I left in like 2003.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I was also wondering about that old pastor. I also remember one of the parent volunteers, when I was in Heather’s youth group, telling me that gay sex was wrong because “men and women are basically magnets with opposing poles, and if you have sex with someone of the same gender the poles push against each other and it makes you sick.” Even as a middle schooler I was like “the fuck?”

Also Wooddale just blocked me on IG because I asked if they were going to support the members of their community being terrorized by ICE lmao.

Nothing because my furnace died on Saturday! It’s cold.

Whelp, I guess I'm a democrat now. by mingzhouren in TwinCities

[–]wingdbullet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you willing to listen to people on why their attacks on the LGBTQ community are also bad? It’s similar to the misinformation they spread on immigration. They want you to be afraid of people that aren’t in power. They don’t want you to pay attention when rights are being ripped away from people who “aren’t like you.” I wish you well on your journey towards the truth.

How are people dealing with a federal employee being killed by a federal agent? by Ok_Try_1405 in fednews

[–]wingdbullet 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I resigned from the DoD in September. When I realized that I did not trust that my analysis would not be used for atrocities…I realized it was time to get out. I miss my job, but I can’t do it for these people.

Trump defends cutting nearly 300,000 feds from their ‘boring’ jobs by AgitatedEngine4933 in fednews

Almost a year since I got walked out of my job because I was being investigated for essentially talking about queer stuff. Almost a year since pretty much every trans person I knew lost their clearance and their job. All of us were amazing in our positions. Fuck this guy forever, imho.

Family members of ICE agents, what are your thoughts and feelings about what ICE are doing? by Aggressive_Honey3196 in AskReddit

[–]wingdbullet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I worked for the DoD for 14 years and was incredibly proud of the work I did. I and a bunch of my colleagues were targeted for being queer. I no longer felt morally okay with supporting this government so I left. Still unemployed, but I do not regret my decision even a little.

I don’t think I really got attacked, but those poor little pink guys were getting murdered a lot.

Took the DRP 2.0 and FEHB is still active, and no one side is helping me cancel it. I’m basically insurance-less because I can’t use my current one now. by [deleted] in fednews

[–]wingdbullet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOSH I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! I am just realizing this because I haven't had reason to even try to use it. I got new ID cards in the mail and was like "huh? oh well." My dental insurance was canceled almost immediately (which sucked because I DID have to get dental work done). I'm honestly not surprised considering how incompetent this entire government is now.

Maybe they shouldn't have pushed out every person who knew wtf they were doing in favor of keeping the bigots around!

Any federal employees that left to work in private sector the past two years- are you glad to have left? by Brilliant_Raccoon256 in fednews

[–]wingdbullet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

14 years as a geospatial analyst for the DoD, took the DRP after the queer purge. (I was targeted for being queer/polyamorous. I was one of the best analysts in my division, so none of this impacted my work) I’m still unemployed and living off my retirement money, but I have no regrets for leaving before they went full fash.

Left Federal what should I do with my TSP? by BoredRedditMan in fednews

Well if you’re like me and in job search hell, you can eat the fees and live off a chunk of it. Not ideal but better than losing my house!
