I would like to apologize to Sean you were right and therefore have won yourself TWO years of VIP OSS protection. The Japanese office shall be in touch with you. It’s free, you only have to pay for your registration (one time fee or split into monthly payments). Ain’t I benevolent?
Orcas bringing a great day to the world!
There are suggestions for things like book club, recommendations etc that end up being more work for Rod than he would like to take on, moderate or execute in addition to all the hard work he puts into the podcast as it is. Would anyone be interested in a TBGWT discord server? We could have different channels for things like books, movies, etc, and just discussion. Community curated content, basically. Hear a book mentioned? Wanna recommend one of your own? Put it out there!
I did it – feel free to join, chat, invite others or whatever! Please be kind, this is the first server I’ve ever created and I’m just winging it. https://discord.gg/KvwA5AazxN
Just wanted to piggy back on the anime recommendation for Karen. I know you like playing cozy games Karen and I would like to recommend watching Frieren: Beyond the Journey’s end. It feels like a cozy game about an elf mage who retraces the steps of her last adventure after most of her former party members have passed on. It’s a really beautiful story and was nominated for anime of the year.
Just wanted to say I answered no on the pill. I have never smoked crack. But back in my younger days I casually dated a guy who mentioned that he did. I ghosted his ass. Total deal breaker.
Creating fear is a part of the authoritarian system, I agree.
I am a white lady in Western Europe, not exactly the target of your administration, and still when I read what they are doing I feel fear. Of course it’s especially working in someone who can tend to cathastrophic thinking, but also it’s part of their plan. Thank you Rod for pointing it out, it helped me with my fear, because I could see it from the outside, always a great therapeutic tool.
I also strangely feel hope. When it’s so bad at this point where the republicans start turning on him, something they never did before, it’s a new thing. It’s not really going great for them.
My name isn’t on the company building either, but I must say, I get lots of recognition in my work. From colleagues, from people in other departments and supervisors. And by that I mean money and nice things people say. It’s seems to be saved in my files, because when I changed departments in 2023 this happened:
I had to negotiate my new salary, I thought I was being assertive with my demands, luckily the HR lady went first and offered me about 8000 more a year then my maximal demand in my head was. I would love to have recorded my response, it was something like : oh, ok, sounds good, did i hear you correctly?
I am a smart , very responsible work horse with great ideas, Luckily I can also see when someone wants to take advantage of me or steal my accomplishments or I would be a perfect target for lazy assholes.
Let’s see if this comment goes to moderation:
There is no way to change the sex of your child fast, parents of trans kids have to go a long way.
I know if we were in that situation, I would always wonder if our decision, no matter what it was, was the right one for our child in the long run.
