At the moment I’m not involved with any group of volunteers, but I was a volunteer at a homeless reach out group for almost a year up until a couple months ago.

We would walk around a spot known for housing a lot of homeless people in the city and “door knock” until we met somebody who wanted to talk with us. It was very interesting, I had a lot of fun and we were more or less successful in helping our regulars get a step up. It being a new job, health check ups or getting them in contact with some social workers for some tricky situations (irregular immigration status).

We stopped because most of the regulars left and we lost contact over the winter. The group I was in also started fading due to all of us being students unable to find a compatible schedule. Some times I feel remorse in not continuing, I might have to try to find the contact of one of our oldest regulars and check up on how he is doing in his new home.

P.S.: One of the regulars Mr “Zé” would tell us all about his petty crime days in Paris, when he was a teen. He was a troubled man, even today, but very fun and kind within his means.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking about, I’m not sure if they have a name for it.

It’s also hot as fuck. I guess the best option is some very light white long sleeve.

Most games on steam are drm-free or have a very weak DRM which is easily removed. Not great, but not the worst.

Lootboxes kinda suck, but at least they only use them for cosmetic items, it’s not pay2win, more like pay2lookgood.

About the child gambling… Pretty awful, but I think the ones who should bear most of the blame should be the parents. I have younger family members (not my kids) and their parents couldn’t give less of a shit about ensuring they only have access to age appropriate content. Steam has parental controls implemented, USE THEM. Starting to think that allowing kids to access these features (when parental control is available) should be considered some kind of negligence.

To be fair those are cosmetic only items. I’ve played a ton of those games and didn’t spend s dime, because I don’t care about how cool my gun looks.
