One of my pandemic hobbies was being D&D 5th Edition DM, though I'm not playing much anymore. I wrote and playtested a book of six adventures, complete with maps and dialog. If you're looking for a free module to play, I would love it if you got some use out of all this work I did. CW, it's a dark story. But even if you don't like the story, most of these adventures can still be run standalone:

one of my favorite new ubiquitous bullshit marketing tropes is when corporations tell you "it's time to <something>". It's time for you to tell me your mobile number. We don't make the rules, this is part of God's plan. We cannot change the way of the universe, we just have to collect your personal information now. It is Ordained.

@tanaki i feel attacked

At FC this year I saw about five different close friends who i really wanted to say hi to, give a hug to. i hadn't seen them in years. But even so, I felt like I shouldn't approach, or that it wasn't my place, or that it wouldn't be appreciated, or would they even remember me at this point? So I clammed and hid behind my mask instead, and I really regret it now. Not loving what the pandemic has done to what little social courage I had.

@tanaki i'm like 90% that these are not in fact from an AI. Which is great. Humans impersonating AIs for fame is like, so great

i can tell im successfully dieting because i am hangry and exhausted and shouting at inanimate objects

@tilton haha yay! Welcome to leadership. My rough benchmark is to try to keep my work week to "only half" meetings and coordinative activities. 50% is the absolute lowest I could ever get that ratio at any of my tech lead jobs, and it was usually worse than that. I have to frequently remind myself that empowering others is my real job. Making myself productive at their expense (say, to lay a foundation or show the way) is sometimes the right thing, but usually not.

@hufman haha awful! i had a lot of reliability problems with ubiquity, gave up
