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.

That’s a lot of words to say you care more about “aesthetic” than you do about the people around you feeling safe.

The system isn’t broken, it’s rigged by design.

Always be projecting. It’s the only thing they know.

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.

Ooh, yeah, that’s a nice phone…

And the entirety of Africa is framed as nothing but both of theirs pawn and playground… 🙄

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).

My uncle had the Nokia 9110, it was incredible for its time, and definitely contributed to me wanting a phone with a full keyboard haha

I’m in this meme, and your addition, and I don’t like it. 😑

I recall finishing the game the next day or so after taking the screenshot

Wow, that’s so brave!

But holy cow, the ending hit me hard, past me didn’t know something like that was possible in a game!?

I can’t lie, I looked up some spoilers before going, so I knew the gist, and was too overwhelmed to feel anything, but on the other hand, I can’t listen to most of the aurora songs, because they hit too close to home 😭

I still avoided Wasteland and Eden like the plague for weeks after that. "I ain’t dying a second time, nuh uh! I’ll be over here playing with the fishies"😆

That’s spot on lmao 😂

Though now I’m not as big a scaredy cat, and can get through both relatively easily. I even did Eden weekly for a bit, but I still need to sit there with my map and mark off each statue I light, otherwise I lose track, which takes so long, so I’ve stopped going for now (after hitting 150 wing buffs, I don’t see a point until I ascend enough spirits to get closer to the 200 mark, shards provide enough candles).

Those were such exciting phones, coming from a Nokia.

Nokia made them too! I had the N97 for a good while… Also still have it in a drawer somewhere lol

Oh, don’t remind me… 😭😭😭

I’m really tempted to buy everything the shattering spirits have to offer bar the music sheets which I’m unlikely to use for a long long while, and I’m torn abut the horn and the jellyfish cape, one looks and sounds cool but only does the one thing, and the other only looks good on chibis which I don’t plan on becoming, but everything else is too tempting 😭😂

I really hope the upcoming TS is not great so I can easily skip it and start saving for spooky cosmetics lol

I’m so glad I started looking in to updates and even spoilers early in to my return to the game, knowing these were coming got me to perfect my cr and do it every day, and I managed to save over 600 candles!

Now I just need to wait to find out what the TS is that’s coming so I can decide what to actually depend them all on. 😁

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.

You’re good, no “gotcha” intended, I just think potatoes are too good to overlook 😁

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.

Omg, I’d just written a whole reply and hit cancel by mistake and it’s gone 😭

Ok, lets try again:

it perfectly captured the spirit of a veteran adopting a moth

That’s exactly what I thought 😂

I really love your photo and the story behind it! How long did it take you to make it up “the mountain” for the first time? I had a similar feeling about wanting to conquer it, but was too scared to go anywhere near for a good while lol

Even though I love talking about stuff that interests me and I make a conscious effort to engage with stuff on Lemmy, I’m more of a lurker and I can’t help it…

I can very much relate! I lurked lemmy for a good while before I found a community for the game I had on my mind at the time, but life got in the way, and I haven’t actually played Sims since (I have some really complicated builds on my mind, but not the time or brain power to figure out how to get them done lol), but when I was trying to think of a more casual game I could get in to, Sky came back to mind, and it very quickly became my “special interest” (how NT’s like to call things those of us who are autistic get really in to lol). I do still lurk on the reddit Sky subs without an account, mostly to double check the seasonal candle locations and general updates, but it’s so nice to actually be able to share the thoughts and photos I have, instead of them just going around in my own head, so I’m glad you appreciate it, and I appreciate you communicating back, so that I’m not just talking in to the void lol

I also second the thanks to @talou@jlai.lu for setting this community up and updating it consistently, hopefully at some point the reddit subs will become redundant 😁

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.
