You could look into joining a gaming/film/anime club at any of the local universities, as far as I know you don’t have to be a student to join (at least true for the WPI film nights, but this was long ago before COVID so YMMV, also WPI is your best bet in general because engineering schools by nature tend to have nerds, and they have a respectable game design program). Keep in mind you’ll be older than most of the group but at least you’ll be with likeminded people

Okay dude, I am saying this with the intent of reaching out and not being condescending... So please don't take this the wrong way.

You really, really have it twisted with what is happening with Fox News. The reason this is such a big story for other reporters and the reason this is catching all kinds of attention (including from pandering talking heads on the left who are way too gleeful about it) is because it really is an epic shit show.

Fox has been caught - from the head and owner of the network down to the individual star reporters - admitting that they know they are lying and pushing an unfair narrative and that the right-wing politicians on their shows are known to be liars, grifters, and that they cannot stand them. And then they get on TV every night and literally do the opposite. It's proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Fox is purposefully lying with the explicit intention of manipulating its audience.

That's, well, fucking huge. Because while all news outlets still suffer the "we need to tell this story so we can get ratings and help market it to our audience," it is never really outright and blatant lies. And there certainly is never an incredibly detailed digital papertrail showing that everybody is in on the lie.

Places that call themselves news need to report the news or else what they are doing is, well, against the law when they lie about companies and people. They committed libel and defamation and are undermining democracy. This was sorta well known within the public because it was so blatant (which is why late night show hosts have been skewering Fox since the early 90s), but to have it revealed in such a way and being so blatant means that they've finally been caught red handed. Their lies are done with a forethought and intention to deceive the public for malicious intent.

As multiple lawyers and even lawyer-educators who teach law school have said, they can't even use this case as a test of students because it's such an obvious and thorough slam-dunk of a case with a very obvious ending.

Edit: Just gonna downvote me on both replies and refuse to talk about it? You know I have sources, dude. Sounds like reality hurts.

I just started playing DND with a bunch of other nerds I met right here.

Bars suck, but barcades like Free Play are pretty awesome.

You talk about being against hostility towards women, yet you mention having played and liked hogwarts legacy. You realize that is fairly oximoronic right?

Just to be clear is this post for looking for likeminded friends or romance?

Or the Otaku place in Auburn mall

It sucks that that's like the only place around here.

Same. Except I'm not really into gaming. I'm just into games like GTA and I liked Hogwarts Legacy but there's not a lot of open world games out there that I like where I can play with different people. I tried WoW but I didn't like it and FPS's just make my brain hurt. Not to mention some communities are really toxic towards women, I've seen it.

When I was still lworking (I am in school) the only businesses that benefited from me being there were gas stations. I always packed a lunch, and I would never hang around after work.

Slightly off topic, but does Worcester still have the restrictions of bringing in and taking wood out of Worcester due to the bug/beetle issues a few years back? I seen this warning a while back, but have seen nothing since.

That’s Entertainment

its usually cold and windy

I think at this point, they solely rely on the income from advertising birthdays

Leitrim's may be open. It might not. Nobody is ever really sure of Leitrim's hours.

Neptune had awesome fish and chips back in the day.

It's Amateur Day. The green plastic bowler crowd.

Wachusett potato chip co, would be a cool one too.

Right? Or one of those cute polar stuffed animals that they have on display at grocery stores (NOT the human sized one though, lol).

I like the idea of 50 business men coming to work in a building will somehow increase the downtown economic standing lololol when I was working in the city the first thing I would do when you get out is leave the city as fast as possible

So funny. I was literally just saying to my husband the other day that I wanted to do a tour of Polar.
