For example, try doing heroic/mythic raid progression without WeakAuras. Great comment, very relatable.

Comment on For the sixth year in a row, Finland is the world's happiest country, according to World Happiness Report rankings in ~life

Mostly due to Sipilä's government in the past decade driving through this reform that brought in more bureocracy and made everything less effective. They fucked education up, too.
There is an election coming up and I'm kinda afraid we're going to suck up to the capitalist interests and end up where the US is in terms of their health system. And we might not stop there. Education has been kneecapped and is next on the privatization craze list. The inflation is rocking us hard and we're still seeing the mental health fallout from COVID lockdowns and Putin's war. Straight up fascist rants are being broadcasted uninterrupted in our political debates on the state funded news network.
I've never seen anyone in Finland see one of these headlines and not respond with "yeah well that's some bullshit". My other comment(s) in this thread shed some light on why I think we aren't quite as happy as some of the reporting might lead you to believe.
If you're a worker bee type who likes to not think too hard about anything and just consume large amounts of alcohol while watching subpar game shows on their free time, you might be happy. That is until your health starts to detoriate and you get to deal with what's left of our health and welfare services and you realize what a shit hand you've been dealt.
At least it's getting brighter outside, perkele.

However, with how online everyone is these days, it's been pleasant to see the shift in culture in the past decade or two.

You can split the characters with multiple players if you want to make it a group thing. :)

I don't see Adobe messing up the "pro" version of Photoshop any time soon, though.

This time it's two songs and there's a video for Sunken.
I'd love to hear what you think of it!

I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this topic after making that comment about censorship of nudity in a particular TV show.
I for one am from a culture where it's not unusual to be naked in a sauna with people who you might not even know, so I personally am not bothered by it. When it's porn-y it might take me out of the experience, but when done tastefully it just seems inherently 'human' to me.

Muffin Link ParentWhat else could the change be rooted in? EDIT: In Europe we are pretty chill. You might see some dongs or pairs of breasts during commercials or in daytime programming.What else could the change be rooted in?

Muffin Link ParentHighly recommended, I'll say that much. Second season has Ben Sinclair in a bigger production role, and it shows. High Maintenance is also highly recommended, btw. Both on HBO.Highly recommended, I'll say that much. Second season has Ben Sinclair in a bigger production role, and it shows. High Maintenance is also highly recommended, btw. Both on HBO.

Gotta love the puritanical wave coming from the US as services go universal.
Btw, in that Dave episode they censored the main character's junk as he was climbing into a pool of water. In the same episode they showed him using a kitchen knife to cut a piece of his friend's arm, and then proceeding to cook it on a skillet and serve it in a restaurant. In another episode Dave bites the tip of a man's penis off and spits it out with blood and gore. This was not altered in the transition to HBO Max.
Sorry bae. new gardening method just dropped!
