I don't think the downvotes are because you're misgendering them. It's just baffling why you've gendered them at all. It's unfunny and out of place.

Good work comrade, this is the way to live.

The budget deficit has been reducing over time under the current government, the man promoting nuclear is Dutton the opposition leader, his plans for nuclear power are being criticized as expensive, he is being portrayed as stupid in promoting nuclear which would reverse the trend of reducing deficits.

It's a bit convoluted and not particularly funny but it does make sense.

Modern guns a extremely precisely engineered devices that are incredibly easy to use, for better or worse. I know modern sporting bows are also but it's no contest in my opinion.

I've shot both, bows as a complete amateur and relatively competent with a rifle. There is no question that a modern gun is way easier to pick up as an amateur and hit what you want to hit and I cannot possibly believe there are anything other than extremely niche uses where a bow is superior.

4 player map can be good to have segments of your farm for different uses. Although I've found it annoying as I found it hard to have a good flow to the morning.

It's really common to get weird dreams when quitting smoking. Especially if you're using nicotine replacement and extra especially if you're using a patch and not taking it off before bed.

Changes in the amount of nicotine in your blood disrupts REM, it's more fragmented and this seems to have the effect of more intense dreams.

Hate for Wikipedia comes from a few places.

The first and most important is that most people who have tried to edit Wikipedia have their first edit reverted, usually with good reason, because they don't understand the procedures and policies. Unfortunately these procedures and policies are what maintains high quality.

Related is news articles and blogs about edit wars and less frequently that an article or group of articles is genuinely captured by one volunteer who will protect their own little fiefdoms and not allow anyone else to edit them. This happens but it's pretty uncommon and the structure of Wikipedia means that it only really stands on fairly obscure articles.

It's also true that Wikipedia does have an inherent western liberal bias. It's subtle but it is there and results from the fact that for the majority of Wikipedia editors western liberalism is the water they swim in. Any claim that is counter to this ideology needs to be cited up the wazoo whereas claims that are confidant with it will often slide without citation. Those with a strong attachment to an alternative ideology often find it infuriating.

Finally there are individuals who would rather have the arbiter of truth be the powerful rather than a relatively democratic institution.

All that said Wikipedia is a remarkable achievement and an invaluable part of the internet.

"That genre also avoids putting players into overly stressful situations." Like Skull Cavern

But seriously, meditative is exactly how I'd describe a lot of Stardew gameplay.

I think this is a bit of a misrepresentation of political correctness. I think the term political correctness is a bit outdated but I'll use it here.

Reclaiming derogatory language by minorities is obviously very empowering and has been done successfully. It's also the case that words that are offensive in one context can be neutrally used, demented and retarded are often used in medical contexts without anyone becoming offended.

Now one can come up with hypothetical situations where it can be difficult to negotiate whilst being politically correct, especially if the person speaking may not have the vocabulary. But in almost every real life instance of someone complaining about political correctness all that is being asked of them is to be considerate, kind, and inclusive. It can be taken too far but that is the exception, overwhelmingly people are understanding of slip ups or of people not knowing the correct terminology.

Empathy and kindness are important for their own sake, whether it's labelled as political correctness or not.

I understand why you are putting them together but I think only the CPI measures inflation, there are other indexes also but inflation has to do with the value of money decreasing over time.

The supply of money is inextricably linked to inflation but an increasing money supply is not inflation, under certain circumstances you could have no, or negative inflation, with increasing money supply. If you had high demand for currency due to large volumes of exports for example.

In short the terms you want are inflation and money supply.

Disclaimer: I dropped out of an undergraduate economics degree about 2/3 through around 15 years ago. I believe this is correct but please anyone correct me if not.

I started a new playthrough for the first time in a while, took it pretty relaxed for most of the year then had to scramble to get the greenhouse before winter. Travelling merchant was kind and just got there.

I have also been super lucky and got 2 prismatic shards and an ancient seed already. Killing it in the mines with my galaxy sword.

Since the mods here are already effectively modding that community perhaps they would be interested.

It definitely needs to be separated, this should be a light hearted community.

Saying that mildlyinfuriating will allow actually infuriating content until another community is made is a bit like saying we will have foodporn allowing hardcore bondage content until hardcore bondage content until a community is made for hardcore bondage. That isn't what that community is for.

Even if there isn't a specific infuriating community there is almost always another appropriate place, most often one of the politics communities.
