Irc isn't the competitor of xmpp. Discord is

There are people using xmpp? Last time I set up a server and tried using it with Pidgin, I couldn't find a soul that used it

That 1 Windows-only program they use is probably not compatible with the next version of Windows too

No it probably is, Microsoft puts a ton of effort into backwards compatibility

It’s perhaps the most useful $10 I’ve ever spent and I’m frankly surprised this doesn’t exist on other systems

Microsoft powertoys has this feature for free

Perhaps the only thing she ever contributed of value to literature was Anthem, which is the archetype for the young adult post-apocalyptic fantasy novel. However, the prose is so strained; every pronoun in "we" or "us" and nobody has names so she names a woman with blonde hair "The Golden One" like she's some kind of "chosen one" prophet.

Still, I think it would make an excellent basis for other stories if you just let the MC go back to collectivist town and blast the council away with some gun he found in the ruins or something

Look fuck Donald Trump but surely you must realize this comic is so far up its own ass it's going to become a right wing meme when they finally see it

 
 

I work remote, but occasionally have to travel to New York City for in-office events. During these events I sit in a conference room with the rest of my team all day. We usually have a team dinner planned during the week or something.

Tuesday I got into New York and later that night we went out to dinner. This ended up going until 10:30pm, which is pretty late for me (I usually am in bed by 10). It was also announced that day that we would go bowling today (Wednesday). After a day of sitting in a conference room for 8 straight hours, I really didn't feel like going out with my coworkers or drinking beer til 10 or 11 at night. I told my coworkers I was going to skip it because I wanted to go to the gym and I made something up about having to file my taxes by tonight, but I think they generally understood that I just didn't want to go.

I also was never explicitly invited; we were just told "we are going bowling on Wednesday", so I think there was the expectation that I go, but I strongly feel that nobody should be obligated to go to an after-work event (especially since I already went to one).

How would you handle the situation? How do you get out of these kinds of events?
