Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

it's like a GTA5 RP server, but IRL/LARP so, I guess healthier?
as much as I want to believe this is fake, and it probably is at least partially, I know a number of people who simply do not know how to relax and chill out as part of their daily life.
people with hobbies that wildly stress them out and hurt their bodies, who can't spend 20 minutes or so just existing in a place with their thoughts without trying to minmax something, doomscrolling, or fabricating some kind of hustle goal to achieve and grind.
as I age, I've tried to accept the notion that it takes all kinds to make a world.
so now I'm more like, "I don't get it, it isn't for me, but godspeed to you in your quest... so long as you don't think you're gonna recruit me into your enterprise, because then I'll start snarkin'."
