WTF? Why the fuck can someone opt kids out of EITHER of these things?

I know right! Also, get this… I don’t get SHOT AT in my trashy yard. Win win.

Thanks for that, interesting to hear. It boggles my mind why anyone would pay ANY bill that isn’t itemised.

Oh god. The amounts of hours I’ve sunk into planet crafter is midly embarrassing. Well worth a punt.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 3 months ago:
Some. Not all.
Not all pubs are drink first. Food and socialising are also important things.
In rural areas it might be the only ‘communal’ space.

Still do.
I’ve been alcohol free since 7th April 2023 but it’s a stop on the way home to see mates that don’t game online.
UK pub that’s part of the community. We organise canal cleans / litter picks / quiz nights / charity events etc…
Pubs can be good and you don’t HAVE to drink booze. Bars now… They are a different story I feel.
On a side note I feel the ability to ‘legally’ drink (without a meal) from the age of 18 stops a lot of the idiotic drinking stuff I always hear about from over the pond.

Well-done-you

Some of us like (and play with) both systems - both are fun and have their individual pros and cons.
as a side note nothing is paywalled off in meshcore however there is a soft lock (10 second wait) for some bits. Not saying I like / agree with it but worth mentioning its not a hard pay wall.

They can’t claim it’s obvious bullshit
- Comment on Emma Watson banned from driving for speeding 7 months ago:
The fines go direct to central government rather than local.
UK isn’t as car centric as US and we have a (not great but better than US) public transport system.

Last year the journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology drew media attention over the inclusion of an AI-generated image depicting a rat sitting upright with an unfeasibly large penis and too many testicles._
I must admit that made me laugh a little.
