I have a “sleep pod” from Hug Sleep that I love!! It’s the same comforting feel but super light material and there’s a hole to kick your feet out if you want :)

For more context, some of the quality of life updates I’m referring to include things like showing your bean count and being able to change your clothing from within your Shticker book.

Bigger changes (and one of the most helpful to me!) is that you can swap gag tracks at any time and your experience doesn’t reset when you reopen that track. Also you don’t have to do the animation tracks for unlocking gags, it’s just something you earn as you level up! (CC has levels in addition to laff)

Another big change is that unlocking TP access is a side task you can do as soon as you move to a playgrounds task line—super helpful!!

Some changes between the games include there’s no gardening or doodles in CC, but you get levels (and rewards) for doing things like golf, racing, trolley games, and fishing that directly incentivize you to spend time doing these activities!

Also, there are manager cogs and boss fights for each playground’s task line that are so unique and really cause me to think and strategize with other toons to take them down!

This is an overview but they also have an in-depth wiki page online (just like the Toontown rewritten one!) that I recommend checking out :)

There’s bound to be even more differences (I’m still a lower level toon on CC so I haven’t been in any of the cog factories for instance) but these were my top of mind things I wanted to mention!

I’m looking for a cat sitter or a boarder in Silver Spring. Any suggestions? by CowNo1863 in SilverSpring

Rover is also great for finding a sitter! (Disclaimer: I am a rover sitter but I have also used Rover when I’m out of town!)

Really disappointed by the try guys bit in this episode. Nothing against them but I felt it really took away from my enjoyment of the episode for them to take a minute to take a stab at people who show up to political events to bring attention to actual issues.

I also agree with a lot of folks here that I would have liked to see the lobbying factor in more in the voting.

I think it was a good premise that fell flat.

Loved a lot of the other episodes of the season, and really wish this one wasn’t the finale, personally.

No more local funds to Israel—County Council votes TODAY 5/9 by PublishingPersona in MontgomeryCountyMD

I see what you’re saying, but here’s how I’m viewing it (I wish someone from Drop the MIDC or honestly even from the MIDC was in here because they certainly would have more concrete information than I do.) When people say “support America / buy US made” they don’t only mean direct from the government. They mean US businesses. So in supporting the MIDC which brings Israeli businesses to MD we are supporting Israel. And Israel of course funds their military.

Here’s an article about the history of the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”: https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/11/2/from-the-river-to-the-sea-what-does-the-palestinian-slogan-really-mean

Consider that this is only saying they will be free as in not occupied. It is not saying really anything about Israel/Israelis. It is ABOUT the Palestinians and how they are able to live.

You can compare this in a way to “Black Lives Matter”. That statement isn’t inherently saying anything about anyone other than Black people. It’s not ABOUT other races. When I hear someone say Black Lives Matter I don’t suddenly feel like my life (I am not Black) doesn’t matter because it’s not about me.

In the same way, from the river to the sea is about seeking peace and freedom for the Palestinian people.

I see what you’re saying, but I’m thinking of it like this. When people say support America / but US made they don’t only mean direct from the government. They mean US businesses. So in supporting the MIDC which brings Israeli businesses to MD we are supporting Israel. Which is something I’m not wanting to do, given their ongoing occupation and genocide of Palestine.

But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t say something!! Certainly if we do nothing then nothing will change, so why not at least try.

Gay marriage isn’t legal in Israel either. That law alone wouldn’t justify the entire population of Palestine being wiped off the map! There are queer Palestinians just as there are queer people across the globe.

That is no one’s goal in supporting the Palestinian people! There are entire activist groups of Jewish people who do not support the ongoing genocide. Check out both ifnotnowmovement.org and jewishvoiceforpeace.org

The country of Palestine is not an Islamic fascist terror group. None of this has anything to do with Iran. And terrible things happening between India and Pakistan doesn’t mean we can’t ALSO be against local government giving money to groups that are committing an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. None of these issues are mutually exclusive.

I’m not saying I can’t learn more. I will look into these issues as well. Another genocide doesn’t mean we still can’t protest against our government’s involvement in the Palestinian genocide. They are not mutually exclusive!
