The patreon for Austin's Actual Play RPG podcast Friends at the Table does pretty well and he has worked out a deal as a contributor for Vice Gaming post Waypoint's absorption. My hunch is that Austin has found a way to financially support himself while focusing more on the things that matter to him like his podcast. I don't think we'll be seeing him back in a job like the one he had at GB for a while at least, as much as I would LOVE to see it. By the way, if you're looking for more Austin content, the aforementioned Friends at the Table is a masterwork in the actual play genre, probably the best out there, definitely a more serious tone than something like TAZ or Dimension 20, and I can't recommend it enough. It's either my first or second favorite podcast, in competition with Blank Check.
I'm encountering a weird bug in the Continue Watching carousel on the front page of the site where multiple videos that I've already completed are showing up there and the tetris effect quick look is showing up twice. I'm on an up to date version of firefox with no plug-ins running. Here's an image of the bug:
Every single person who feels "over worked" has the choice to quit that job and go work somewhere else where they may not make as much money, but they won't have to work as long / hard. If that person has a family to support and cannot quit because they have to maintain that pay rate, well again, having a family and making people dependent on you was a choiceand their options are now restricted because of that choice.
"Hey look, if all these five year olds CHOOSE to work in my coal mine, that's none of your damn business. What are you going to do, stop them from feeding their STARVING FAMILIES?"
Closing a discussion to men for "a period of time" is not the same as closing it to men completely. Some people in marginalized groups do not feel comfortable speaking when members of the group that oppresses them are present. There needs to be spaces where people can talk freely about the problems they have and unfortunately we live in a world where that means creating spaces where men are not allowed. In a more expanded sense it's ludicrous to say that "exclusion of any kind is bad" would you take issue with a women's book club? What about a support group for cancer patients that didn't allow people withour cancer to join?
