Settling in to DW

[sabotabby]

Since this is likely to be my primary home for a bit, I had a gander at my profile to add "sweet sweet Soros cash" (my primary interest from now on) to find that no one else on this whole site has put "fully automated luxury communism" as an interest. I miss the days when people used interests to find friends. Anyway. I added both. My interests and icons massively need updating but I don't have time atm.

I'm totally putting this in my profile now.

[sabotabby]

Excellent.

I haven't gotten my check in the mail for the Women's Day protest yet! I AM DISAPPOINT, GYORGY


(little bit of nationalistic pride that one of the few not-evil multizillionaries is Hungarian, viva Magyar)

[sabotabby]

I've been logging a lot of hours lately, with no money to be seen. Grr.

Meanwhile Trumpty and the obstructionist Congress are certainly getting paid! Fuckers.

[lapinlunaire]

Just added the second one :)

I don't think I ever added anyone based on interests even in the ol' LJ days when I added a ton of random people. It was always people I interacted with in comments, because obviously that's so much safer.

[sabotabby]

I noticed people through comments, but I checked out their interests. I think there was the occasionally oddly specific interest that I would at least consider friending someone over.

When I first joined lj I added a couple of people due to (fairly specific) shared interests, and two of those I still count as friends today.

[dancingdragon3]

Lol, I used to have a friend who shared 'sworded fantasies' with me from the bad buffy fic com. I haven't even looked at me profile over here :-/

[sabotabby]

Oh God, that's amazing.

Speaking of which, have you thought about setting up a terror_scifi community here? DW is utterly lacking in good comms.

[dancingdragon3]

LOL, maybe I should add it to my puzzle prompts interests.

Totally! it's just my silly techno anxiety. I guess I fear I will accidentally erase Terror, or something, ha! And I fear I won't have time to keep up with it in two places, since you can't crosspost comms. And I've been deciding whether to fold anime and myth fan back in over there, and where to move puzzleprompts to (I'm thinking AO3). But now that you've mentioned it, that will motivate me, thanks :-)

[sabotabby]

Ahh, I wish you could crosspost comms; that would make it so much easier.

[subbes]

i dont need the FALC interest, i have the t-shirt :)

[sabotabby]

There's a shirt?

[subbes]

And other things! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/directfraction?ref=s2-header-shopname

[sabotabby]

Hmm, the sentiment is Correct, but I'm not sure I like the design. Too American.

[angiereedgarner]

I added both. You have some others I am not cool enough to claim. But those I could manage. :)

[sabotabby]

Nothing is cooler. :)

[symbioid]

Well now that I'm using this and haven't updated my profile in ages, may as well join the fun!

[sabotabby]

Woohoo!
