Leave. Go for a walk, or a coffee, or go home. Nobody knows you aren’t in a meeting room.

If your co-workers are into it, have a LAN party. I used to work at a place that had a daily management-approved kill session. It was good.

I have no idea if I’ll ever use this, but it sounds like a great feature.

BROTHER, I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU’RE WHISPERING, BUT YOU NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME CRANKING YOUR HOG. WHEN YOU FEEL THE JOY OF THE OPEN ROAD YOU MIGHT THINK “MF IT, THAT’S TOO REDUCTIONIST”.

A Canadian politics and current affairs community.

A community for some of the podcasts I listen to would be nice.

We have a few of those here, but they aren’t too active and they have a pretty narrow Overton window (ie, I tend to agree with most posts and comments).

I tried posting that kind of stuff. It was thankless. Nobody else started posting. I gave up.

How does the group reach consensus on N?

Don’t

They have to be actual cross posts though, don’t they? Would that catch the same link spammed across multiple instances and communities?

For our first kid we got an audio monitor. After a couple of weeks we sort of stopped using it. With our second kid, we didn’t bother.

I immediately came up with the name “poop wagon shit horse” but nobody wanted to join.

Pick up sports, or adult leagues. It can be hit or miss, but I made some good friends playing in rec soccer.
