So for members of bdsm Dungeons, it's a rule that you don't approach other members if you see them on public for privacy reasons. They might not want people knowing they're a freak.

That said, it's normal to make friends in that space who you hang out with, outside of kink stuff. When that happens and people asked where I met my friend, my go-to line was "Spin-class," which is a very funny joke if you know me even a little. Very not my scene.

Well, funnily enough, while I was working at a homeless shelter, we had a very similar rule because of the homeless stigma. If a guest from the Shelter sees you outside of work, you don't acknowledge or approach them. They can approach you, but you don't tell whoever you're with where you know them. The guest gets to decide if they want to share that info.

Smash cut to me being out with a friend I met at the dungeon a very long time ago. I bump into a guest from the shelter who approaches me to chat. My friend asks how I know the guest, and without thinking, I blurt out "spin class" before remembering that's my go to lie for how I ment dungeon friends. These two proceed to have a conversation, neither fully understood.

Friend: ooohhhh okay i get it. Spin class! Me too. Stopped taking that class a while ago tho.

Guest. Oh for real? That's sick man, good for you! You got a good set up now?

Friend: The best!! I've taken up wood working so my furniture is all custom. Got plenty of space to do "spin" at home. It's coming together.

Guest: Hell yeah brother!!!

Friend: was really good to have my own space during the rona, but man it's lonely! I kinda miss the group dynamics.

Guest: Yeah, i heard that from my homie when he got out of "Spin class!" But it's for the best.

Friend: it can be, but its not for everybody. Can be safer to Spin in a group.

Guest: i know that. Lost a few homie to "spinning" alone. At least at the "class" you got other eyes on you.

Friend: I'm sorry to hear that! You know some elements of "Spinning" are risky but you never think anyone would get hurt. So, my buddy here still a real hard ass for safety?

Guest: oh man you dont even know. They revamped our whole fire escape plan.

Friend: Oh shit! They did that back when i was in Spin class too!

Guest: still improving the system i guess.

Friend: they still keep a bunch of robes outside in a shed so people who get out can cover up?

Guest: Yes!!!

Friend: Did you know it's their fault we have a 30 second rule!

Guest: Damn really!?! Makes sense tho, if there's a fire you gotta get out fast!

Friend: Yeah, I Never gave it much thought before they brought it up, but yeah the last thing you want is a fire when you're all tired up!

Guest: Yeah, that's true. I didn't know they came up with the rule, tho. I do like having the space between the beds clear...

Friend: Yeah it's so annoying when people block the path with their shit.

Guest: Yeah there's not enough space between beds for people to be hording shit.

Friend: Yeah! I loved that they always got people to keep their area clear.

Guest: not gonna lie i hate being told to clean up but it is better that way.

Friend: Yeah... haha.

Guest: well it was nice chatting with you brother.

Friend: you too, man! See ya around!

Guest: see ya!

I'm reminded of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There was a point in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, where the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B was revealed to be crewed entirely by people deemed "useless", and included telephone sanitizers. After this, the Golgafrinchans still living on their homeworld died from a disease spread entirely via unsanitized telephones.

When the health food store unionized, something wild happened that I thought was just a goofy one-off, but makes more sense now.

There was a big push to eliminate "degrading jobs" but the strategy was to eliminate the position, then create a new position outside of the bargaining unit to do the work. So like, we wouldn't have dishwashers, but we'd have people who washed dishes that weren't eligible to be in the union.

I was like A) what the actual fuck? Dish washing isn't "degrading", it's fucking vital. B) What the actual fuck? You want to create a union just to exploit different people?

There were enough of us to be like "Absolutely the fuck not," and put a stop to it, but I was absolutely flummoxed that people involved in a union would say that out loud. Working with more leftists now, it makes sense.

I should draw rouge the bat. But in what circumstance

[xmaster3000]

@penny-anna ok i've promised myself i'll actually do the things i need to do today after this. but first. i have followed up the mystery of the weird bathroom flat

first of all. it is definitely a false lead on the hmo front (but i think i solved that with the 5 bed hmo across 2 flats earlier.) this is the building across the road whoops. i got the numbers mixed up. this explains why it looks so different.

i've made it in to a new post cause of that. to not complicate matters by talking about 2 different buildings on one post.

ok so this square fan is at the front of the house. the window by the bathroom has a round fan. so if i find the round fan i can find if the bathroom is in the stairwell or not

there was a tree in the way on maps so i went on google earth

so opposite the square fan i found the window from the stairlwell

went round the back to look for the round fan.

but the windows were all warped!!! so i couldnt see if the fan was there or not

anyway based on the windows that we can see in the listing photos this is the part that we know is the flat

so without any other way of knowing. i reckon the flat extends a bit past that and the bathroom is one of those double windows at the back which would make it...in the entryway of the flat?????

so yeah. case closed i think.

it does really look like a lovely area. theres really nice allotments there. it was being sold for 30k so i really reckon someones got a bargain if they can do it up nice. bit of work and you'd never know it once looked like that

Yes, exactly!

Me today, all day.

it bothers me that you often don't really hear about people having a "favorite album" the way they might have a favorite movie or favorite video game

I got a zebra! :D

I need to run a survey really quick. This isn't serious, but I need people to cooperate and not cheat for the sake of it because it'll skew the results.

Imagine you wake up tomorrow and you realize you (and everyone else in the world) can turn into an animal (And back into a human) at will.

Please go to this link to see what animal it will be for you:

(this is random, and yes, you only get one, no redos)

With this in mind, please reply to the following questions as truthfully as possible based on your current situation. (Not an ideal fantasy one.)
