Game jam about blind accessibility starting in Feb. Consider joining, or help spread the word! - Lemmy.World
Hello! This is a yearly game jam where the goal is to make blind accessible games. It is a to of fun and also I feel very educational as some wonderful blindgamers mostly from https://audiogames.net/ [https://audiogames.net/] give feedback both during development in our discord, and then rate the games! So consider joining, or spreading the word! Accessibility in gaming is something I care about a lot about personally, so I hope you consider joining! If you’re curious about the history of the jam, or what methods are used to make games blind accessible, check out the wiki for the community! https://gamesforblindgamers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [https://gamesforblindgamers.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page] Accessibility in gaming is something I care about a lot, so I hope you consider joining! Thanks for reading! (And no, I totally didn’t make that wiki in the last like week because work has been slow leading up to Thanksgiving… )
Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cards. Police say that's criminal tampering.
Person put up signs tell people not to kill people with cards. Police say that's criminal tampering. - Lemmy.World
“Boulder police are investigating the traffic signs as criminal tampering.” “I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.” I’d love if they implemented whatever appropriate ways they have… then again they said appropriate, not effective.
Just learned about RSD... sooo did anyone else have a reputation as a cry baby in elementary school?

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24099-rejection-sensitive-dysphoria-rsd] I always had this thing where randomly certain types of criticism, even small ones or ones where in hindsight it wasn’t really against me, WRECKED me. Like was all I could think about for days, where I wasn’t able to sleep that night at all, just overwhelmed with negative emotions. I still remember the overwhelming feeling of sadness and frustration I got once because I got a question marked wrong in like the 4th grade because I didn’t “show my work” properly even though I got the answer right. When I was younger this was a fun combination, because I was undiagnosed ADHD sufferer school was a place I got a good amount of criticism. So yeah I got called a crybaby a good amount. Which of course… more criticism. Yay. I grew out of the crying (as any man should, I was told), but never grew out of random insults hitting me as hard as if someone I love just died. There were hobbies/games/communities I adored that I quit suddenly because a single snide comment for some reason filled me with such negative emotions I couldn’t do said thing without thinking about it all the time. But now as I just got my ADHD diagnosis and learning that RSD is a symptom that goes along with it, it makes SO MUCH SENSE, and is now something I can work with my counselors on. But yeah, just curious if the cry baby thing was a shared experience.
What side hustles have you personally seen work pretty well?
What side hustles have you personally seen work pretty well? - Lemmy.World
Corporations taking over side hustles seems to be screwing over people, since they take such a large cut and flood the market for that hustle. But the ones I’ve personally seen people do that work pretty well (in USA) are: Stay at home mom watching another kid (legally dubious depending on state/situation. But I ain’t no narc.) A neighbor of my mom’s sends out a menu saying what she plans on cooking each night for that week, and for $X will deliver you some as well (Legal in Utah due to special laws, other states could be dubious. ) People who go pick up free furniture that is pretty trashed, and then refurbishes it and sells it. Or people with trucks who are like “Will deliver furniture for $30 in X area” is also pretty life saver for people without cars/trucks. Was able to get a super cheap/nice coach because of this. People who just flip free stuff or stuff from thrift stores without doing any improvements annoy me greatly though. We broke and you’re just driving up the price! None of these generate a ton of cash, but I like that they take very little up front cost, aren’t disruptive, and mostly take labor. So what side hustles have you seen work out?
Any suggestions on what to do about the USA election? (I'm very left, fair warning)
Any suggestions on what to do about the USA election? (I'm very left, fair warning) - Lemmy.World
TLDR: I have a lot of anxious energy and feel powerless. Any suggestions for what to do about the election? (also this is a bit of a rant, so I’m sorry. I know a lot of you guys are probably very tired of it.) So I live in Utah, and I’m… gonna be honest I’ve had a massive pit in the bottom of my stomach since the election. It’s a bit long cause I’ve been very stressed and also just wanna put out my thoughts. I am a cis, white, male, home owner, who looks like the perfect Mormon boy who never swears and never even got a parking ticket . I will be fine (For awhile at least depending on things. ) But there are people I care about very very much that will not be okay very fast, on top of how much I worry about the poor people of Ukraine because I can’t imagine what a nightmare it is to live in Ukraine where Russia is allowed to do whatever they want and your allies are following some weird set of rules that no one can clarify. I did what I could prior to election I think. I voted and got all my friends and family that I could to vote Donated to Kamala campaign Did a bit of phone banking where I called people in swing states (Sorry swing state people, I know you probably got overwhelmed.) Maybe I should have just taken a bus to Nevada and put in work on the ground. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to do it differently in 2 years. Since the election I’ve sent emails to DNC/white house asking that they do the recount and investigate, since Trump tried to cheat last election it feels insane not to investigate. I have sent (many) emails to my (very conservative) senators with a variety of concerns including: Please just stop this mad man criminal rapist who said he’ll use the army on US states and refuse to certify the election Tariffs will bankrupt us here in Utah please don’t allow it Please don’t allow insane people to be given high ranking government stations. I didn’t think Trump could find people crazier than him, but he now has a televangelist scam artist and Alex Jones saddling up. So I was wrong. Trump sent fake electors, and is on recording begging people to “find” votes in 2020. Please support a thorough investigation to dismiss all doubt about the validity of the elections. Main thought being only a handful of senators need to help the Democrats and we suddenly have “something” to slow things down. But I honestly, don’t know what else to do at the moment. It seems very minor what I can do. The current thought is wait and see if anything crazy happens on the day it’s time to certify the election while still pestering my senators as much as possible. But the amount of pressure my senators are getting is probably very small given the state, so I’m no more than an email/phone call that an underpaid intern can dismiss (I’ve received many copy and pastes from those interns that start with “Hi I’m x replying on behalf of Mitt Romney.”) I could go protest outside their houses, but they aren’t there I don’t think. Their phones are pretty much locked up as well. Then assuming Trump is put in, reach out to my local DNC and get to work trying to help influence good candidate choice to try and take the house and senate away from Trump in 2022. Which will most likely be lots of phone banking to a state with a snowball chance in hell of electing a non republican and being a source of encouragement to whoever runs. But of course there is non 0% chance we don’t get another even close to fair election. So we’ll see! Other idea is maybe just donate to causes that help people relocate that need to get out of the state they are currently in very quickly? But yeah I’m just stressed. So with all that useless context, here is the question: “Hey guys I’m really stressed out about Trump winning the election. Any suggestions on what actions I can take to help make the situation better and feel less powerless?”
