in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.

Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

That honestly sounds like a hoot.
If you rebooted RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK today with the same temporal margins, it’d be set in the 1980s. Neo-Nazi punks would have their faces melted by the opening of a forbidden arcade cabinet at the KB Toys at your local mall. Indiana Jones would wear a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylor sneakers.
We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Fun fact: your dogs can’t read the calendar and you can tell them tomorrow is Thanksgiving too. You can give them turkey every day and they’ll never know you’re fibbing.

Important thread about gender and masculinity.
There's this pattern that I've noticed in trans people online that are not quite ready to accept that they're transgender yet. It applies to men and women in different ways. I'm going to talk about trans women for this thread though because that's where my heart is, anyway...

Definitely feeling more run-down this week. Part of that is to do with the cold I've picked up.

But I think I'm also dipping back into burnout territory.

Might have to just rest up for the rest of this year.

For those that don't know what this is - the government suppressed this expert report on Clinical Guidelines for Transgender Health 24 hours before it was due to go out, and played politics with the lives of young transgender people.

You can now read the report in full.
Y’ALL. PATHA RELEASED THE NEW GENDER AFFIRMING CARE GUIDELINES. THE ONES THE GOVT SUPPRESSED

Thanksgiving thoughts that translate well into life in general: When everyone in the room is telling you you're being a giant asshole, maybe evaluate your behaviors instead of immediately declaring "No I'm not!"

Oh, yeah, NPC writing is the best. You can do worldbuilding, add a gameplay tip, or just invent a memorable weirdo. Or a whole city of weirdos. It's great.

I would like this woman to be my new best friend and mentor, please.
I heard a story about a female academic giving a paper at the IHR who, after receiving a long and aggressive question from a senior male professor, simply leaned back with her hands behind her head and replied “Oh, do fuck off.”
One of my colleagues went to a seminar at Berkeley and when someone asked a question Derrida brushed it off saying ‘what you ask may be important but it is not interesting’.

Anyway as part of modern media literacy it's worth learning what the visual artifacts of an AI generated image, a negative-doctored/photoshopped image, a 3D rendering are, what a video timestretch/compress/reverse loop looks and sounds like. Deepfakes exist but so do shallow fakes

Instead of buying an expensive course on a skill you want to learn, just go down to the library & grab one of the many books on the subject you're interested in for free

If you actually read it? Great! You're learning!

If you don't? No biggie, just return it

You're supporting a creator either way
