I took a three year (plus) break from internet spaceships. I need to get caught up on what the fuck's going on. Who's good, who's bad, and who's shooting blues? I'm talking nullsec, the only sec that matters.

Note: Posted this to the weekly thread too.

This article is laughably out of touch.

Yeah, comrades, I still look at the shit in my inbox from LinkedIn because once in a while it's a fucking riot. Lo and behold, this morning, an article pops up alleging that candidates and employees are ghosting on interviews and jobs. Apparently, after 50 years of shitting on workers, employers are

Hot take from someone posting on BPT about Target, public health, and Socialism.

I decided to throw a comment into a thread on r/BlackPeopleTwitter that involved Target offering gift cards to individuals who went to Target to receive flu shots. My comment pointed out that this was no the way public healthcare should work, and that handing the reins of public well being to a business concern like Target was counterproductive in the extreme.

This is the response I got.

I identified as a Socialist, and...well you'll see how that goes.

This is why I need you Chapo douchebags in my life. You're all terrible people,

Over the years I've largely ignored most of Vonnegut's work through ignorance and laziness (it's easy to avoid serious and challenging fiction a lot of the time). I recently finished reading Mother Night and I'm hooked. I'm amazed at the way Vonnegut distills the historical events, political conflicts, and humans struggle with truth into their simplest, most accessible elements. The book feels like a blueprint to examining and discussing authoritarianism and conflict on a global scale.

I'm re-reading Slaughterhouse Five right now and planning on picking up The Sirens of Titan after that. While the later doesn't deal with the war, it feels like a good third work to add that deals with sim

I have gotten next to no gear in the last week. I did unlock world quests(!!!)...but they keep giving me the same goddamn headpiece in the chests cause Blizzard are dicks.

Honestly, I just don't have the free time that I need to seriously gear Beef soon enough to legitimately jump into progression with you guys during this tier. You'll all continue to out-gear me and I'll be a drag on progression through all those mythic bosses you'll be downing soon.

I'll get there eventually, maybe next tier, and hope to join back up with you sick fuckers then. Until that time, I'll be getting gear and PUGing where I can.

Life with a new baby in the house is nuts. The struggle is real.

I have a new baby at home. He's adorable. I love him as my own (because he is).

Unfortunately this means that my playtime hasn't been quite as plentiful as I might have hoped for Legion launch. As such, I only dinged a few days back and I'm sitting at about 800 ilvl.

That means I'm not ready to jump into the Nightmare with you guys on Friday unless you want to carry my scrub ass (not that this hasn't always been the case). I think I'll be good to go for next week but that's yet to be seen.

Go kill some bosses. I might just sit on comms like a nerd, or watch the stream if someone streams. I'll hope to join you all soon when I get my ass in gear.

EXTREME AMOUNT OF NOTICE, I KNOW! Anyway, I think it would probably be achievements and more Overwatch anyway (which I will be around for later. San Diego County Fair just started. Wife wants to take me there to eat fried things and rink beer. Sorry but that wins over raiding since, ya know, no progression. Don't hate me.

Why? The raid hadn't even gotten off the ground! Give it a chance!

I did. Recruitment initially seemed to be going well, but we topped out at something like eight people. Two of these people consistently showed up. I've tried other options, like speaking with a cross-realm community, but our schedule would have to change and we would likely still have trouble with numbers based on the conversation I had.

I posted last week asking anyone still interested in raiding to PM me so I could get a coherent list of who was still committed. No one sent me a PM, and one person posted in the thread.

I'm not mad, that's not the tone I want in this post. I'm just disappointed since I know a couple peo
