Find a skill based hobby that you love and practice it every week. Stuff like a sport, musical instrument, art, etc. The hobby itself will be rewarding but there is no substitute for having decades of experience under your belt for these kind of activities.
Also, don't have children.
We've all been there.
Such a niche reference, but so good. If you know it you can't not hear the voice.
"I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses can't define how I be dropping these mockeries"
Are you a legal expert? Is the fact that this is "art" not a more complex legal issue?
edit: Quote from the article: "Mona’s legal team will be relying on the tribunal’s interpretation of section 26 of Tasmania’s Anti-Discrimination Act, under which a person is permitted to discriminate against another person in a situation designed to promote equal opportunity for a group of people who are disadvantaged or have a special need because of a prescribed attribute – in this case gender. It is under clauses like this in most of Australia’s anti-discrimination legislation that organisations such as male-only clubs and women-only gyms are able to operate."
Gamify this stuff. Instead of a single silent alarm causing the players to get ambushed, have a threat level that you're tracking that requires multiple triggers to end up in the worst case scenario. Give players in-game feedback that this is happening (they notice there's a higher frequency of patrols, overhear guards getting new orders, etc). Give players mechanisms to reduce the threat level (waiting until things cool down, hacking security systems, stealth takedown of guards, etc).
As much as it is tempting to do pure simulation in a realistic way, it doesn't always make for a fun game. Fun almost always comes from interesting and meaningful decisions for the players. Having invisible triggers going off behind the scenes that the players will never know about is only interesting for the GM.
This... doesn't look real? Like, what position is that cat at the top in?
Not calling anyone out, obviously it could be legit, just looks very strange to me.
Soulseek is the best option I've found for this: https://www.slsknet.org/news/node/1
It's an old style file sharing app, like Napster and Limewire, but is focused on underground music. I've been using it for years and had no problems with spyware or anything like that.
This is sensible as long as the qualities you're looking for are realistic and reasonable.
My understanding is that typical N95 masks may not prevent facial recognition. Different systems have different performance but many will work successfully with a masked subject. The position of the eyes are one of the key inputs to many facial recognition systems.
Maybe I should start one, I'll call it Things I Learned From 35 Years of Nihilistic Hedonism.
