- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 2 days ago:
You get to run/fly/swim/dive around and explore several mostly chill realms, helping out “spirits” and collecting light, and optionally interacting and cooperating with friendly randoms from around the world. There is a story to it which I won’t spoil, but there is always more to do even after playing through it.
There are zero ads.
There are some optional transactions, but they aren’t pushed constantly (there are changing “seasons”, and you can buy a pass for each one which will give you access to special cosmetics and the in game currency to buy them with, but there is plenty to collect without it).
Seasons also repeat (not exactly as they were, but the spirits from them return and their items become available again) so if you missed something the first time around because you didn’t have enough in game currency, or you took a break from the game, you’ll get another chance at it (I also think items that were initially only available with the pass you buy for real money, later become available for in game currency).
Keeping that in mind, you can grind as much or as little as you like, and there is also a limit to how much currency you can collect a day, so there’s only so much grinding you can do if you are so inclined. If you’re not that bothered about buying all the items, you can take a really relaxed approach and just play through the tasks and explore at your own pace (even learn how to play an instrument lol).
The first time I played it a few years back, I didn’t really “get” the game, or think to look up any information about it, so was just randomly flying around and getting confused and frustrated when things were a little less chill at points, so I quit. But a few months ago I decided to give it a second chance and having actually taken the time to understand what is going in the game, this time around I’m enjoying it a lot more.
- Comment on Farage urges Zelenskiy to seek Ukraine peace deal with Russia 1 week ago:
That wouldn’t surprise me at all, but the sad reality is he could just as easily be a self promoting power hungry bigoted piece of shit capitalising on (and actively contributing to) the rise of fascism to get ahead all on his own. We really don’t need the Kremlin to produce such turds, it’s not like Westminster isn’t already full of exactly that type of person…

Imagine being such a pathetic bottom feeder that your best move is to publicly deepthroat a dictator’s boot for attention…
- Comment on What the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy fossil reveals about nudity and shame 1 week ago:
Ok, that still doesn’t make the situation any less ironic.
- Comment on What the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy fossil reveals about nudity and shame 1 week ago:
Sure, and I never said otherwise, but still find it deeply ironic coming from someone writing an article about exactly that (having a modern “blind spot” some are comfortable maintaining)… ¯\(ツ)/¯
- Comment on What the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy fossil reveals about nudity and shame 1 week ago:
This is an interesting read and it makes some good points, but I find it ironic that the author can see that our modern issues with nudity didn’t always apply to humans (or our close ancestors), yet makes claims like:
Because human babies require a long period of care before they can survive on their own, evolutionary interdisciplinary researchers have theorized that early humans adopted the strategy of pair bonding – a man and a woman partnering after forming a strong affinity for one another. By working together, the two can more easily manage years of parental care. Pair bonding, however, comes with risks. Because humans are social and live in large groups, they are bound to be tempted to break the pact of monogamy, which would make it harder to raise children.
Which fails as soon as you go beyond the theoretical (we have not only historical evidence, but live examples still existing today that demonstrate the origin of “it takes a village to raise a child”) and is supported by a piece of research that frames the opposite of monogamous “pair bonding” to be “promiscuity”. 🙄
They are doing the exact same applying modern morals and constructs as they’re criticising others of doing with regards to nudity, only with regards to the idea of the “nuclear family” and “monogamous fidelity”, which I guess is something they aren’t ready to break down yet…

As it should, it’s outrageous, and so is the fact that they’ve managed to keep it all so relatively quiet.

I think that might be down to your personal perspective, which is fine I’m not trying to have a go, personally I’ve seen people struggle to get care for a lot longer. but it also depends on where you live and so many other things, but yeah, they’ve been cannibalising the NHS for a long while and it is getting noticably worse.

Not sure why you landed on 2016, but the privatisation of the NHS has been going on for a lot longer, and while it’s unlikely to happen as long as profit is the main motive, it is still reversible, and the fight to save the NHS (and the population) from the government is still ongoing www.yournhsneedsyou.com/timeline/
