Combine city skylines, civilization, and democracy - i want a society sim
Allow the players to get real unique with the shape of society and have the soc-sim give reasonable (or at least enjoyable) responses
Something that really enjoyably presses the point that society shapes both laws and city design and policy foriegn and domestic - some entity greater than the sum - an egregore - and that you as the player who can mold the clay of society - which society do you pilot to form the shape of your vision?
Fried has such a chance to be cool about this, actually prove the dem party is a big tent, and put the country and party ahead of their personal politics. Nixon won over vindman signficantly, it wasnt neck and neck, the people that make up the party want a dsa aligned person more than a trump-focused centrist - the democratic party is what if not a democracy that at least reflects the will of its own members?
What effects do the judges opinions actual have? Is it literally just like a news paper opinion columm - formal soap box, or does the opinion actually change how things are done and have tangible impacts for how governance is actioned?
Similar to the other commenter, its the process of advancing awareness
Unaware: impulse -> reaction
Awareness: impulse -> reaction -> processing
Guilt: impulse -> reaction -> critique reaction
^ you can get stuck here for a while making bad reactions and not being aware of the bad reactions until after doing them, the more you critique them and and accept yourself the sooner you can then transcend to
Learning:: impulse->identification of trigger->reaction-> critique
^ this is a frustrating time where you still feel like youre making the wrong reactions, but you are now aware of the trigger
^ at this point you now know your trigger and have a number of prepped safe responses to that trigger, that are further honed until satisfied
Idk, for me it works to just nag at myself, and interrupt my thought or speech realtime when i see myself not acting how id like to, and eventually, like swirling the drain, my awareness eventually moves from after my reaction to before my response - and thats when i gain my agency back and act the way id like to
I wouldnt be mean to him if he stepped down from power, but hes holding onto power despite his incapacity, despite his total change of priority and alliances from what he told his electors
He is harming and misrepresenting his state and constituents
Its a true language, you dont hand an illiterate kid shakespear and tell them to have at it, you start them with basic books, even guided readings, and have them read out loud, and then they advance through more complicated books until they get the hang of things and start making their own essays, they continue the process of moving from simpler to more complex books/code-projects until one day the developer becomes minted when they have an idea of their own and they realize they have the vocabulary and strong enough opinions already formed to just make the idea their own - and then the learning is self sustaining.
Dont put the cart before the horse, shovel the shit for a while until you figure out where it lands - theres no workaround to gaining experience - just got to experience it
The first person on the panel, wearing two monocols and a rainbow progress lapel pin, "well you see, obviously we all want universal healthcare, but the reality is, we just cant afford it" as they say this, they sign another pledge to send billions of bombs to lebanon via isreal and just after an intern crawls in and delivers a bar of gold right in front of everyone as the camera pans to the next democrat who then rags about how progressives are just self defeating losers while he unawarely stands on the neck of a protestor and vocally wonders why they always complain so much as he twists his heel into the protesters larynx, the third democrat on the panel has fallen asleep - once a civil rights champion in the 1830's, their age has crept up on them, but their district still seems to keep voting their coffin in regardless
They didnt even really counter your point, they gave another perspective to form a stronger argument of what your message was already saying
Parents should teach and guide their children moderation, especially for such common and addictive substances like sugar, especially when without moderation serious health and quality of life damages can apply
If a parents goal is to raise healthy humans with a high quality of life - they should be teaching and guiding children into moderation, not prohibition and the shame that goes with it, not hedonism and the shamelessness that goes with that
Its not that sugar is some fearful substance that should be prohobited outright, but its also not a substance without issue and should be moderated and controlled if modersation is not yet possible for such a still-developing human
There are many such substances that need this parental guidance, sugar is just the most obvious one to younh parents - a toddler probably/hopefully isnt hitting a 40 or a roach
