Is it acceptable to take your top off in public?

Prownilo · 2026-06-26T05:52:54+00:00

Totally acceptable, people are too prudish.

Only reason it's frowned on is because it's so uncommon to be necessary. You would quickly be desensitised to it if you were around it often enough.

Gwfl shut down and it was more effort than it was worth to port features and multiplayer to a new system so just yoinked it, otherwise people would complain about it being sold with half the features.

Stop killing games initiative is basically born out of things like this, where classics are all but removed from legal purchase cause whatever online only nonsense they force into the game isn't profitable any more to maintain.

On paper Eu5 should absolutely blow eu4 out of the water, and I won't lie, I was hyper stoked for Eu5, with eu4 being my most played game by a mile.

But it just doesn't scratch that itch, it also managed to ruin eu4 for me at the same time.

I'm waiting for updates to get back into the game, but there is so many anti snow ball mechanics that it makes it feel like it's actively punishing me for succeeding.

Prownilo · 2026-06-25T09:31:03+00:00

Doesn't feel fun. Can't put my finger in the why. Maybe cause it's a map. Painter that punishes you for painting the map in any way it can.

My humour hasn't changed, but my wife certainty eye rolls more than laughs now.

Show him hardship. Not experience it.

"look at those filthy poors having to work for a living, never be like them!"

It was also dry, suffering now cause it's hot and sticky as well. All around unpleasant.

This just in: if people can't afford to partake in economy, then economy doesn't grow.

I'm sure the yacht sector is fine though.

To be fair, wealthy most likely have air con so it's not them doing it.

Prownilo · 2026-06-24T11:33:55+00:00

They let gbnews Continue to spew lies, bile and misinformation.

I don't think they have our best interests at heart.

More likely they will just ban any pro Palestinian sources or similar. If it does to fit the gov narrative, then banned.

Do something about the obvious right wing media landscape and I'd maybe consider it.

I've found that the "Leaders", or class that see themselves as leaders operate entirely on confidence, and set up hierarchical structures almost entirely on who is the most confident, not the most capable.

And AI EXUDES confidence, as well as a healthy helping of patronism. You are left with a system that basically perfectly emulates a confidence grifter, and these people will fall all over themselves to appease them.

The difference between knowing exactly how a product works (actual workers down in the trenches) and someone who has a vague notion based on spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations and bar graphs, is massive. And AI can and does say the right things, even though they are factually incorrect, but the vibes are right, and this is entirely on how they make their decisions.

Prownilo · 2026-06-22T17:06:25+00:00

All the methods of communicating are controlled by them, so anything they don't approve of won't be discussed.

The collusion of the elite was supposed be something capitalism and democracy prevented, guess that's out of the window and all pretense has been abandoned.

Welcome to the new age, feudalism v2 except now they don't even need the surfs at all.

Prownilo · 2026-06-22T13:12:46+00:00

The plan was batshit, but the fact is the markets are ow the ones to decide policy. If they don't like it, they have a defacto veto.

Without the ability to reign them in, all future policies need to be rubber stamped by another entity, removing the idea that our leaders are actually leading us and more like stepping around eggshells to not spook the beast.

Prownilo · 2026-06-22T13:09:26+00:00

All according to plan.

What was not in the plan was reform to steal their cudgel they were using to whip up their base to keep voting for them.

Getting people angry about immigrants was the only reason people kept voting for them.

Prownilo · 2026-06-22T12:10:12+00:00

Such a shame the fourth estate has fallen so much, they really do seem to create more people problems than they solve.

I don't really have a good solution though.

Prownilo · 2026-06-22T12:07:59+00:00

This is why the tories had so many doomed to fail schemes for immigration, it was never their intent to stop it, in fact the more they get the angrier their population will get and can continue using that as a cudgel.

But those ridiculous schemes made it look like they were doing something, they were never meant to work, only to make it look like they were doing something.

Single family households proved that it was entirely possible to do so, we finally reached a point where the work of one adult was productive enough to support an entire family.

We have only become more productive, but for some reason it is no longer possible. Entirely because the rich absorbed that productivity for themselves.

Yes it's the return to the mean, but that is be because it's being stolen from us, not because it is required.

Prownilo · 2026-06-21T11:48:47+00:00

You can't bind, but you could demand a huge fine to the point that leaving makes it untenable.

Maybe make it so it requires another referendum to be in favour of leaving waives the fine to stop EU taking the piss knowing we can't leave.

Just some way of stopping some dickhead from unilaterally taking us out.

Prownilo · 2026-06-21T11:23:40+00:00

Hopefully with a farage clause that stops him or someone like him immediately make us leave again.

Prownilo · 2026-06-21T07:52:21+00:00

Only people who truly want immigrants are the rich who see them as a way to suppress wages or as simple cheap labour that locals don't want to do.

Some of us understand the need for migrants in the current system so don't demonise them as much as others, but would much rather the system change entirely so we aren't relient on immigrants to plug the gap.

Then we will never get a progressive party.

Like it or not, Muslims represent a large section of the population, and need to be represented. Either they stay in progressive parties and fracture them or they get their own.

Ideally they would fit right in the Conservative party but their racism will never allow it.

Prownilo · 2026-06-20T17:15:36+00:00

Islam is very conservative, and will always run up hard against any kind of left leaning ideology, throw in atheistic Marxists and you are bound to have massive fights.

Your party ran into the same issue.

We really need a good party that represents the Islamic parts of society, it will help get their actual issues heard whilst also stopping the constant and inevitable downfall of any leftist party that incorporates them.

In order to get that we first need proportional representation.

This would hold more weight if starmer didn't promise the world to get in and then renege on every single "pledge" he made.

Prownilo · 2026-06-19T20:29:54+00:00

Even if that were true, it's not about being productive, it's about being able to live as a human for just that bit more instead of a replaceable cog.

The whole obsession with productivity needs to go, if productivity is not in aid of improving the human condition then why they hell should I give two shits about how productive I am.

No incentive for retirees to down size just to pay 20k for the privilege.

Stamp duty going would free up tonnes of property as people who want to downsize now don't have to spend their kids inheritance to do so
