Thanks for these links. As someone who’s stuck to the usual suspects bought from supermarket… Anything I need to be aware of switching to this? Like, will I need to shave more carefully, use different technique? Or just shave as normal?

Same. I don’t agree with Starmer on everything (eg his cannabis policy), but it’s nice to have a grownup in charge again. Instead of a performing monkey desperate for a new sound bite so we forget last week’s disaster.

Exactly. And usually if I am replying to another comment later, I can see that balance has been restored by others doing the same :)

• If I see a freezer / fridge door open in a supermarket, I close it. Not for the supermarket, but for the planet

• as someone who stacked shelves as a teen, if I take an item and it leaves a gap, I pull the next one forward so the employee doesn’t have to keep fussing over the manager’s demand for it to be lined up

• my dad lives in a bungalow, on a small cul de sac of other bungalows. Sheltered housing for old folks. Litter often gets blown in and collects, I’ll pick it up every couple of weeks. Also cleared their paths / sprinkled salt when It snowed

• when old people are in the way, I don’t crowd up behind them. I’ll take a few steps back and wait so they don’t feel pressured

• if there’s an item in the road that could damage someone’s car, I’ll wait until it’s safe then remove the item

• if I see someone was down voted just for sharing their opinion (assumedly because the down voter is too childish to withstand an opposing opinion), I make sure to up vote it in an attempt to restore balance. Even if I don’t agree with said opinion (obviously this doesn’t apply to hateful rhetoric etc)

Prob a ton of other little things I can’t remember. Thanks for making this post!

It’s very basic ‘think of the children’ rhetoric.

Our emotions are more easily manipulated in this way, because generally people are hard wired to protect babies and children.

So by associating trans people with paedophiles, right wingers are able to more easily hijack into what would otherwise be rational people. It also makes it more difficult to debate against because nobody wants to be labelled as someone who wants to hurt kids.

I’ve been playing Control on and off since 2019… I finally completed it this week.

There was always something that halted my progress… Frustration with the map, boredom with progression, unfixable crashing. Decided to give it one more go on a new gpu and finally it clicked :)

Now I’m doing all the awesome post game content.
