The sims don’t really build anything on their own. I play the Sims 2, because it’s got decades of mods available at this point. The newer games don’t really seem worth it - the Sims 4 is very much focused on parcelling our everything as DLC.
Basically, I have a bunch of STALKER and Fallout 3 assets ported into the game and use them to decorate my little post apocalyptic setting. I try to destroy/rebuild in a way that looks sorta organic - having them squat in abandoned bowling alleys and the like.
Imho the Sims 2 is worth getting into. We’ve reached the point in the nostalgia cycle where the ridiculous early 00’s clothing is endearing. It’s a really open ended story telling tool, and with modding you can do things like historical simulations or weird sim cults or prisons… but even just playing the vanilla game has a lot of charm of its own.

My favorite thing to do in the Sims is to use a bomb mod to bomb pre made neighborhoods, and institute a post apocalyptic “Handmaid’s Tale” setting where most of the women are put into re-education camps.

The documentary Marjoe is a really good exploration of this. Former child preacher who stopped believing, and invites a documentary crew as he does a tour.
It’s in the public domain - they forget to register it, so you should be able to find the full movie online.

- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 3 weeks ago:
The Handmaid’s Tale (it’s kinda funny how both you and a commenter replying to you misspell the name in two different ways) is going for a “The Lady or the Tiger” ending. Do you believe that Nick is actually part of the Resistance, or is he part of the state secret police? The narrative tricked us a little with the “relationship” between Offred and the Commander - can we trust anyone at all?
The epilogue also gives the narrative some verisimilitude. It’s pretending to be a historical document - how would the world post-Gilead react to accounts of what happened to women during Gilead? How would you interact with the “Diary of Anne Frank” if you didn’t know that she was killed in the camps?
I fail to see how it’s similar to “The Mist” here.

Islamic socialism is a huge thing. Why do you think the US backed the Shah in Iran? Who was the Shah imprisoning?
The Koran absolutely forbids charging interest (which is why there is an entire alternate Islamic banking system) and one of the five pillars of Islam is zakat - giving money to the needy. Shariah explicitly demands forms of land redistribution and mandates zakat.
If you read Qutb (literally wrote a book called Social Justice in Islam), you realize that there’s actually a substantial group of people who are very heavily inspired by Marx and Lenin, and also believe that apostates should be killed.

She’s literally been denying the Holocaust killed trans people. She funded a court case that made it so that were I live in the UK, it would be illegal for me to piss in any public restroom.
That’s like saying David Irving was “viciously attacked for having opinions out of the mainstream.”

It teaches them the thought stopping cliches and mantras that they can use to “own” libs in drive by Facebook comments.
I think about the classic creationist “if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” It’s not intended to be an actual question - you can try to explain that no, we didn’t “come from monkeys,” that we shared a common ancestor, etc… but they don’t care. It’s just supposed to be a quick catch phrase that lets you not think about the question anymore.
That’s the whole point of all of these right wing “debaters.”
- Comment on Oh Jesus he is cooked 4 weeks ago:
“Dr Laura” (receiver of that original letter) is a fucking shit stain of a human being. One of those right wing women that absolutely hates other women.
She’d tell women and girls calling in that they needed to quit their jobs and dedicate themselves full time to their children, when she herself was happy to ignore raising her children to play pundit. A Phyllis Schafly style gender traitor, someone happy to have a full time job and make lots of money telling women that they weren’t capable or deserving of full human dignity.
