I was looking at ISPs yesterday as my current contract ran out so they're taking the opportunity to wring me for all my money. One place I looked at has a regular price and "members price" for every plan. I go to see what a membership entails and it points me to download an app. No clue if the membership is free or not because I don't want or need an app for every utility and purchase I make. People like you and I are not the norm but from my viewpoint you're being reasonable and the world has lost all sense of normalcy and reason.

I'm sorry, "my old cult"? Care to give some background? Obviously if you'd rather not that's completely up to you :)

Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking can realize that this is a ploy by and for fossil fuel companies to cling to their social license to keep polluting until they're gone. All we need to do is make polluting less profitable. The means of doing so are left as an exercise for the reader's imagination.

This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they're miles behind where we'd be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.

Six creators embark on a road trip across the American West while secretly trying to sabotage their own team. They escape Las Vegas, do trivia in the desert, and eliminate their first player at the Donkey Museum.

~~I will be closing this community to deffer to !dropout@lemmy.world. I would rather not divide the community and I was unaware of the existing one when I made this community~~

Some people pointed out that they have lemmy.world defederated, so it actually does make sense to keep this place open 😊

We plan to release Factorio: Space Age expansion on October 21st 2024. The reasoning for this date is that it will give us enough time after summer vacations to polish the release, while also leaving enough time afterwards if we need to do bugfix patches before the Christmas holidays.

The price of the Space age expansion will be $35.00, the same price as the current base game.

You can wishlist the game now over on Steam.

Taken from a Press Release by the group:

LONDON, 1 July 2024—Two young trans activists scaled the NHS England’s London headquarters at 133–135 Waterloo Road in London on Friday to stage a protest and have remained there ever since. The group, now made up of seven young protesters, all 18 or under, has one simple message: Trans Kids Deserve Better: we are not pawns for your politics.

The powerful direct action has been organised by the “​​Trans Kids Deserve Better” network, which is calling for: access to gender affirming healthcare for trans children and young people, protection from discrimination and disrespect in their daily lives and the right to be heard in all decisions that affect them.

Their protest comes in the wake of the government using emergency powers to ban all access to puberty blockers in the UK, a move that was supported by Labour’s Wes Streeting, likely to be the next Secretary of State for Health. It also comes in the context of a General Election campaign where trans people and trans youth have been used as ‘culture war’ talking points, but not allowed to speak for themselves.

“We are staging this protest to remind politicians and voters that we’re real kids, not just political talking points. We may not have a vote, but it is our lives that are at stake,” said one of the activists staging the protest. “Gender-affirming healthcare is a matter of life and death for us, and we hope that our actions will bring awareness to this fact and encourage others to fight for the healthcare and dignity that we are so shamefully denied.”

Not sure what the value in taking photos of all of the pages for random people on the internet to look at. You can disbelieve me if you want, I don't mind, but please look at what the UN have to say about it (Linked in the post). I imagine you might trust them more than me.

Edit to respond to your edit: We were marching in a road. I was arrested under Section 12 of the Public Order Act (1986), then it was dropped, then like 6 months later I got posted a charge for Wilful Obstruction of the Highway. This is the most paperwork I've had for a case, more than the criminal damage case I had (apparently water based paint that they wiped off while we sat there still counts as criminal damage and nullifies your right to protest).

Oh and people have been sent to prison for standing with a sign. Oil companies have taken out "civil injunctions" (read: custom laws) to make it illegal to protest near their oil terminals: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/16/more-than-50-just-stop-oil-protesters-in-uk-sent-to-jail-on-one-day This is also referenced in the UN report.
