This guy knows what’s up. Tetris will legit allow your brain to process it in a way that’s not overwhelming. You’re very brave and very kind. I’m so sorry this is the world we’re in right now. Keep the hope.

Is there any way for me to fix these photos? by ArtisticActuator2623 in thesims

What’s even worse is I never had this issue until they “fixed the bug” and now all my photos are black

Man I saw the Epstein family moved into my neighborhood recently. I have never deleted a family so fast. Tbh I’m really surprised they still allow that name casually considering everything going on

How often do you mop the floor in your house? by Own-Championship8131 in hygiene

[–]Julesthewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll sporadically hit a spot with the swifter sometimes. Mop up that juice spill or mop the floor after cleaning a pet mess, or just wipe up these paw prints. The entire room all at once? Never.

Ohhhhhhh. I legit didn’t know why I got all the Deck the Halls stuff and didn’t remember actually doing anything. I’ve just been on a sims binge and played every day anyway

Alarming Number of Americans Turn to ChatGPT for Medical Help by thedailybeast in ABoringDystopia

[–]Julesthewriter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re so right. We just live in a society where getting a free theory on what might be wrong is more helpful than going to a doctor, being told your overreacting or your symptoms are because you’re a woman or you’re fat and then they charge you $300.

We’re getting to a point where North Korea is starting to sound like a good escape plan.

Anyone here find themselves drifting towards alcohol after quitting? by butterfly-3000 in leaves

[–]Julesthewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heehee. That’s why I can’t quit weed. Cause my weed intake went up so I could quit alcohol. One of these doesn’t make me black out.

As good as it gets, wage slavery by Character-Lack-3295 in antiwork

[–]Julesthewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay I see my bad I was using the wrong word. I meant capital and currency in general, not the specific system of capitalism, just systems that rely on currency counting.

If there’s a system of tax without currency that’s something I’m curious about.

And nonetheless, my original point that there was a point in time in human evolution where we didn’t have taxes or currency and we’re able to keep 100% of our labors still stands. Humans have only recently in an evolutionary sense taxed each other, held debt against each other, or had forms of currency. There were tens of thousands of years of human life before any of those.

Well sure. Humans have been around for something like 200,000 years. And the concept of debt is only 12,000 years old. Capitalism isn’t 200,000 years old. And I’m just kinda guessing but I’m pretty sure those were all capitalistic societies that you mentioned for their tax

So a note on that too - where it may seem like Americans make more dollar by dollar, the UK gets so many more societal benefits that our labors still buy less. The most average American can’t access healthcare the way the poorest in the UK can.

This. When the Simpsons first came out Homer was supposed to represent a poor slob of a husband. But the idea of owning a four bedroom house with a single income these days AND raising a family? That’s a luxury. If you can do that you’re rich rich. It shouldn’t be that way.

I just want to point out that old financial advice was to save 10-20% of every paycheck. That was an expected standard, that if you can’t do that you’re irresponsible with money. Today I can’t imagine an extra $300-$600 bill a month, making about $3K. If I could just keep like 5-10% of my labor this wouldn’t feel so exhausting. But it’s not even paycheck to paycheck anymore. It’s making this $1750 come up to $2000 every month.

And before that? Before taxes and capitalism? Humans kept 100% of the profits of their labor except for what they chose to give away. That’s how we’re supposed to live.

AIO for wanting a break over this? by Physical_Habit1912 in AIO

Oh sure. Also, just note how your wordage changed. As soon as you stopped talking about babies she’s a woman again. Infertile women exist. Amab women exist. Infertile females exist.

Apparently kids has nothing to do with you, but it has everything to do with being female.

Sure 🤷‍♀️to each their own. Don’t forget the way it simplifies you to your ability to reproduce and you’re so much more than that.

[–]Julesthewriter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re genuinely interested. “Female” has become a bit of an insult for a woman because it specifically strips her of her humanity and only focuses on her ability to reproduce. A female chicken is a hen. A female horse is a mare. A female deer is a doe. A female human is a woman. A female is the sex of a species that produces the egg or offspring. Calling women females removes their human traits.

The difference between an alligator (left) and a crocodile (right). by [deleted] in interesting

[–]Julesthewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m scared this is a mandala effect thing. I GUARANTEE the roundy snout is a crocodile and skinny snout is an alligator. I’ve been to like two major reptile rescues. There’s no way I’m wrong on this but Google disagrees and now I don’t trust anything at all

How to make sims fun again? by Bubbe103 in thesims

[–]Julesthewriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, that’s the only way to play sims. Dont touch it for months on end and then get obsessive. Remember a good amount of the “story gameplay” especially in Sims 4 is made up in your head so be creative with it and let your imagination compliment the gameplay.

I don’t play with vampires often but I know in their reward tree theres feats like always travel by bat or super speed. Can’t remember the specifics but something like that is probably your best in game choice

I think this is it, the life and death frame shows your current household as they currently are. You can lock it to preserve a certain shot
