    Those in charge here created the blueprint with brexshit, it's only a matter of time before the rest of right winged Europe follows suit, and WW3 really gets going.

    They've already tried to push it once in the Netherlands, I guess they realised they need a couple more years to con the public to get enough people to vote for their oppressors to have more freedom to oppress.

    I think making marginalised people around you not have to get close enough to check out your emblems before they get the fuck out of your vicinity is orders of magnitude more important than "reclaiming" "cool" uniforms that were never yours to claim in the first place unless you're a Nazi yourself, and aren't really cool at all unless you're in to authoritarianism (and if that's your kink, whatever, but you don't get to inflict fear on to non consenting participants with it).

    There are plenty of other uniform like cloths for you to wear, deliberately making yourself look like a Nazi isn't doing positive shit for anyone.

    Especially in this economy of runaway corporate greed, we need a meaningful increase in wages revolution to eliminate those corporations and the systemic rewarding of greed.

    The fact that they could increase wages and still make money while improving society but don't, is why they don't deserve any more benefit of the doubt, or room to continue hoarding wealth and power as they are, because a system that craves constant growth at any cost will never stop on its own (nor provide paths for reform).

    But let’s be honest, the gifts are only higher in value because other PMs didn’t declare what they were getting!

    The longer you keep pretending he's any better than any of the others, the harder the reality will smack you in the face when/if you're eventually willing to acknowledge it - Starmer is in politics to serve Starmer.

    Lets not forget that AI is known for not only not providing any sources, or even falsifying them, but now also flat out lying.

    Our GP's are already mostly running on a tick-box system where they feed your information (but only the stuff on the most recent page of your file, looking any further is too much like hard work) in to their programme and it, rather than the patient or a trained physician, tells them what we need. Remove GP's from the patients any more, and they're basically just giving the same generic and often wildly incorrect advice we could find on WebMD.

    I'm sure all of this is correct, but you're forgetting one thing: potatoes are the only one of these you can grow enough of to eat at home, as long as you have space for a bucket or sack or two of soil, and which basically require zero processing aside from applying heat to consume.

    I agree with you that we shouldn't actually need to know or use any of this information, and as a poor disabled person I also know that growing your own food isn't always an option for everyone, but if it is an option, I think it at the very least puts potatoes back in the running.

    It wasn't included, because, just as the replies here show, elections are not about improving society, but instead are nothing but a popularity contest designed and orchestrated to keep the public distracted while those who exploit and oppress us continue to do so uninterrupted.

    The public's continued participation is the continued legitimisation of the process. Getting you riled up to vote "team ____ no matter who", making you feel like you're part of a team, that's just part of the cult indoctrination, and the harder you deny it works on your "team" just as much as it does on the other, the stronger it's obviously working on you.

    Their rules are made up by them to keep themselves at the top, stop obeying their self appointed authority, they don't care about you, nor the planet.

    There is no absolute right and absolute wrong to gender equality

    Except there absolutely is an absolute right and absolute wrong to gender equality (and more importantly, equity) - the genders are either equal or they're not. You've either achieved equality, or you haven't. You either want equality, or you don't.

    And you clearly don't.

    Lie to yourself and make up as much pseudo scientific nonsense as you like, but it won't change that you're just another wilfully ignorant self serving misogynist who is wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I don't know where you live, but for example

    19% provide only private care, with no NHS, and a further 14% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in private care. Only 15% of responding dentists are fully NHS, with no private care, and a further 27% said they worked predominantly (over 75% of their time) in NHS care.

    Source.

    And I'm sure the numbers are similar or worse in every country where a capitalist government is running a pseudo-social service. Because they're still more concerned about the bottom line than they are about your wellbeing, so they've sold large chunks of the service off, and us poors who can't afford to go private have to put up with a deliberately underfunded, sub standard service.

    Either way, you're not getting the top notch selfless service you think you are.

    Yeah, thanks! I actually remember the advice from last time, I had managed to stay up the second night we were meant to see the lights, and I thought I might have (thought it was grey streaks like you describe), but looking through the camera it was clearly just a mixture of light pollution and clouds 😭

    But forecast says clear skies Monday night, so here's hoping!

    They might not be buying the toothpaste, but they may very well be in partnership with or owned by the same people as the toothpaste company. I'm sure they know the brand of toothpaste you use makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things, and if they were to recommend one it wouldn't be because they're wanting what's best for you, but because some money exchanged hands.

    What does your sims inventory look like?

    I _hate_ my sim carrying loads of stuff for all sorts of reasons (I think it creates lag, I hate having to scroll through a load of items to find what I want, there are bugs where the whole inventory disappears when you do certain things and that seems to happens less when they carry less stuff), so I try to keep the bare minimum on my sim: - Hikon QX40di Gladiator camera - Collection Helper - Potent Invigorating Elixirs (means you never need to sleep) - Vials of Potent Bliss (cures loneliness and stress) - Wish Enhancing Serums (doubles all wish points, including lifetime wish for 24hr) - Jars of Potent Friendship (make almost any sim a good friend, except some NPCs like paparazzi) - Showers in a can (quick clean) - Pemmican (quick meal + special moodlet) - Death flower - Flame fruit (gives positive moodlet) But I _do_ like to keep things _just in case_ (as you do), so in their house I have different treasure chests for different things like seeds, gems, metals, inventions, relics, etc where I store most things (this allows for keeping much more junk which also potentially creates lag, but then, so do most things in the game lol and this way it isn't cluttering my space), and then my family inventory in buy mode is mostly free gifts my sim gets from being a celebrity, which I used to keep but now mostly sell. So, does anyone else have these kinds of systems, or do other people generally not give it much thought at all? 😂

I don't see them going back further, and as someone who never moved past Sims 3 (and who generally hates this lazy genre of movie, but especially when it's based on a game that has such open and individually adaptable play), this has very little appeal to me personally.

    Do you plan your builds? If so, how and to what detail?

    I used to at most do a basic floor plan in ms paint on a 64x64 grid I had saved lol but the more I play around with constrainfloorelevation and the endless design options it opens up, the more I find I need to plan, and the harder it is to get my head around what I should do first, because it becomes so much harder to add and change things later on. I just completely scrapped a lot I'd been trying to figure out for ages because I realised I'd screwed something up it would take starting almost from scratch to fix, I do want to start again, and to avoid this happening again I've tried laying it out in sketches and diagrams but with having both the terrain and the levels of the build shifted and sometimes overlapping (or, in the case of basement and terrain - not allowed to overlap, which is mostly what's messing me up lol), it gets so confusing and my brain just fries 😂 Probably just going to have to jump in and try to figure it out in practice.
