My work isn't hard but I have to pay attention to way too many different programs to make taking my laptop on its own to a third location viable as an every day thing.

Plus coffee shops aren't free and parks expose you to the weather. I'm not sure what etc even would be here.

And neither of those locations actually position you to socialize with peers.

Also I in my role, while I'm not dealing with anyone's SSN or anything I frequently enough with people's personal data that it would be inappropriate to let just whoever at the coffee shop view over my shoulder.

Home or the office are the only real options.

As someone who works in an office and isn't in charge of anyone, I'll say that I strongly disagree with the idea that there are no legitimate reasons to prefer being in office.

I get cabin fever pretty badly if I don't have a reason to get out. Finding motivation to do that can be difficult when I don't actually have somewhere to be. I also do enjoy chatting to my coworkers. As an adult fostering friendships outside of work and family is incredibly difficult, and I imagine you know that?

Regardless I'd still work from home if permitted, due to COVID, but the idea that wanting to have a second location that you regularly spend time in is "dumb" is wrong I think.

To reiterate, I absolutely prefer work from home at this point, even though it's undeniably worse for my mental well-being, due to the threat in office work poses to my physical well-being, but it's absolutely a tradeoff.

Also, I just want to say I hope RTO kills Paradox because I'm still bitter that they killed off the Chronicles of Darkness TTRPGs.

Maybe people will keep donating to it. As long as the rebrandly stays up, the tg thread basically only exists for user support and content requests.

I tend to obsessively read a large number of these, like way more than I could possibly ever run, but the things I do run I buy because I don't want to lack a physical copy at the table, and everything I buy I pirated first because big ass books made on small production runs are expensive and I'm not buying something I don't know I can get to the table (or at least desperately want to get to the table).

I'll still check newvola and the share thread rebrandly, but I'm assuming that without a place to gather the new submissions to those will slow a fair amount over time.

I'm still glad to see the people who used it regularly lose their digital hangout.

I will miss the tg PDF share thread, not aware of anything else that comes close in terms of organizing RPG and wargame piracy

Crybaby lemmitor: Excuse me, I'm a leftist

Same crybaby lemmitor:

That’s not how federation or open source works.

And the overwhelming majority of Lemmy’s active users are not tankies and have no interest in tankie removed.

I am not upset. I am just stating facts, tankies and leftists are not the same thing.

tankie removed

How interesting

EDIT: the word the automod removed is a word that the Nazis liked to use to describe people and ideas they wanted to eradicate

Be that as it may, it's not some lemmitor's privilege to deny it to them based on ideological disagreement.

Badass

bitter mystery

No, I think he's saying that it makes it more miserable and mysterious, but only for poor people, which he is not and therefore the status quo is good.

You think it’s a good thing that new people looking to join Lemmy are directed towards Hexbear (or Lemmygrad or even ML)?

Be honest.

Ignoring the Grad/Hexbear stuff, didn't the ml devs found the entire lemmyverse or whatever it's called? Why should they not be allowed to be visible on a page that they're probably the maintainers of?
