@the_turtle @rebootdeluxe @itsmeholland once we get off the hobby it’s probably what other hobbies do you have, restaurant recommendations, families…
But upcoming events are always a discussion topic that brings it back to the hobby. “Did you hear Germán Filipeli and Rocío Leguizamón are visiting next month? Are you signing up for their class?” “Are you headed to Kingdom Arts & Sciences Festival? I’m entering the pentathlon this year.”
@the_turtle @rebootdeluxe @itsmeholland I’m in the DC area too, but I mostly meet people through hobbies, so we talk about the hobby.
If it’s the SCA, tell me about your persona and your crafts. Infodumps about weaving or glassmaking would be normal.
If it’s tango, how long have you been dancing, did you learn here or in another city, who are your favorite teachers, do you dance both roles or just one, been to any good festivals lately, do you do any other dances?
@itsmeholland you can be friends with someone for quite a while without discussing work. It didn’t come up until about 6 months ago that that’s where she works.
You know that “stop forcing AI into fucking everything” graphic that went around on here?
I bought the t-shirt. I get a lot of compliments on it.
The only negative response was from a friend who works for McKinsey. She read out the “everyone hates it” and said, “do they really, though?” as we stood near the check-in table for an event, and three people in line turned around and said, “YES!”
