  • Because you talk about hobby, what about LARP ?

    It’s creative, is about problem solving, and involves a lot of skills including

    • Sewing and crafting, the community has a huge DIY culture (even though nowadays, there is a few brands doing larp fashion, and it’s cheaper to buy and chainmail, than to buy it’s weight in steel wire). So getting all these awesome kits is the opportunity to craft a lot

    • Acting : As it’s name stand larp is about role-playing, which is basically improvisation theatre with a scenario known only by the director. So you try to put up your best acting to be a realistic, mafia boss, naive kid, or lord

    • Problem solving and social interactions : Larp are a social game, where people face a common problem and need to find a solution, while finding the right balance between their character faction/interest and the common interest. So there is a lot of social negotiation (often around some spiced wine), mystery investigation, and exploration to solve the main problem

    • Combat, in some larp, if you play a fighter character, you may even have the opportunity to fight. On my experience, I end-up fighting in less than half of the game, there is game with no combats, games where my character either can fight or is too busy with other stuff to fight, and some games where I go fighting.





  • As in, is any law that restricts people’s freedom to do something

    The problem of this approach is that in that case you refuse any law. Even anarchist would agree that a stateless society need people to agree on common rules.

    Speed limit ? restrict your freedom to do something, private property ? Restrict your freedom to go where you want, does restricting your freedom to commit murder feels authoritarian ?

    Now what’s more authoritarian ? having the state protecing your right to have slave ? Or having the state protecting people freedom by not letting someone enslave them.

    Welcome here,

    Note that the goal isn’t to build a safe haven for the troll banned from reddit, but a nice and friendly community independent from large corporation/advertissement/data mining algorithm.

    Now, if you’re not unreasonably trolling, have fun here, the more people the better.

    Some c worth following

    [email protected]

    [email protected]

    And here are some local communities

    [email protected] You can also find a list of National communities in the sidebar of [email protected]

    The laid back I follow include

    [email protected] (In French)

    [email protected] (In German)

    Also, might be worth checking alexandrite.app which provides a modern user interface whatever the instance you use

    have fun

    P.S. Don’t forget the language tag, a feature missing on reddit, not only it helps people filtering out the language they don’t speak, but it also make the site more accessible for people using a screen reader



  • Not OP, But does it mean that in the US the car insurance belong to the driver rather than to the car ?

    Let’s say that I rent a car by myself, and don’t have a fancy credit card, travel agent or whatever exeternal insurance covering rental-car. If I don’t take the extra insurance package at the front-desk and I have an at fault accident. Do I just need to pay let’s say 1500 US$ of copay ? or am I fully liable ?

    Just to know for next time I rent a car in the US by myself
