Hmm. Major corp backing the event. Should I be happy or scared..? 🤨

@atomicpoet

Somewhat. Most organizers need technical people -- "doers" -- as well as organizers (some of the most pathetic industry organizations are the ones who are all organizers).

The question then becomes a matter of leadership and power sharing. Do you want to part of an organization where someone else is leading? Or must you lead it, for you to be happy with it?

And while it is often the case that an organization is started by an organizer, there are also cases of organizations started by technical people, who then hire (or "recruit" or "partner with" or whatever) more socially-skiled people to make it go.

Some of us may need some "Neurotypical supervision"..?

It's kind of Lovecraftian.

Forbidden magic tome, but it talks back and drives you mad.

There is definitely inspiration for a horror story in this.

I think it hits people who already have a predilection for the fantasy, and a weak grasp of just how soulless the machine is.

It's a voice from the void, and there are a lot of people who are inclined to be superstitious, believe the universe is talking to them, etc.

It's weird that I can see you posting from this account, but I can't access mstdn.social. It's been a few hours like this.

Something up with the server or networking?

Oh, I take walks. But I mean to say the gym experience was pretty good, and I need to find something closer to that, again.

Just have not applied myself to that problem yet.

I came to a similar conclusion in 2019, and joined a 24 hr gym, because schedules and I do not get along well.

(Partly this worked, because I'd want to go out and the only other thing I'd do is get food).

But then CoViD came; the vaccine took longer; and the gym is the worst place to avoid an aerosol-transmitted disease. So I just quit going. And then not long after the gym reduced hours, so I can't go work out at 2-3AM like I did before.

Have not yet found an alternative.
