Romance languages have awkwardly left the chat

I know a few women who would rather have Pokémon. Amirite, chat? /s

Epic also has a shitty UI. Steam’s isn’t great, but at least it’s mostly intuitive.

Aww, yeah, cats are like that. It speaks volumes of people who can earn their complete trust.

That’s not my case here, as we treat them with utmost respect. I actually have all of them on my bed right now, but they just don’t tolerate being cuddled that close. One of them does like kneading and sleeping on us, but It has to be on his terms or he doesn’t want it.

I wish my cats would nap with me like that, but it’s my fault for not getting them used to it when they were kittens. They’ll stay put for a minute under my arm and then dart off the bed.

Cats are crepuscular, meaning they’re more active at dawn and dusk, but they may be somewhat active at any hour if they have slept enough.

Yeah, we buy an amazing blend of sand. Leaves no odors, no dust, and has great clumping.

Here’s the original. It’s so old and popular that it’s the first hit in a reverse image search 🤷‍♂️

try to export their strict laws

No, not laws, but religious views and values. That’s what their laws reflect. Religious people are famous for trying to proselytize, convert, and meddle because they have a very fundamental belief that they’re dealing with larger forces of good and evil.

gives them so much personal joy at taking away our gay kissing

Again, please don’t reduce my argument to absurdity. That is not a productive or respectful way of making your point.

Yeah, I have those games, but I want to know what direction they’ll take. I want to know how bold they would be if they wanted to.

Saudi Arabia is a country with one of the strictest laws in the world. Why shouldn’t anyone be suspicious of what they say or do? Why can’t people have a healthy amount of distrust and skepticism of their actions if, as you said, they’re trying to portray a different image of themselves to the world? Who says the mask can’t come off under the right circumstances, like the shameless right-wing downturn of the US?

The Sims IP has always been one of the most welcoming and famous platforms for non-traditional values that directly contradict their country’s principles. Because I don’t know if you know, but homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is currently punishable by death. It’s fair to imagine that some company-wide policy changes would take place when it’s acquired to align with its own views, which also align with the Trump administration’s crusade to eliminate liberal ideas. I mean, didn’t they recently bribe him with a luxury jet? Don’t you think they could have a broader joint interest at heart?

If franchises like Call of Duty have been targets of military marketing, it doesn’t take much to imagine how a corporation from an authoritarian country like SA would at least attempt to rein in social values in The Sims if given the chance.

I’d rather have that than the IPs being used to promote and indoctrinate some religious bullshit.

I wonder what they’ll do with IPs like The Sims. I can’t imagine they’ll allow same-sex relationships, naturally, but I don’t think they’ll allow divorce, either. :S

Inb4 the ackshually, homosexuality is a modern concept that’s been around for less than 100 years ☝🤓

Why yes, I am.

I mean, Steam has no issue with Weed Shop 3 😅

Yaaarggh! Fuck you auto mod, I’m trying to be helpful. >:(

Same here. The problem was that I needed more RAM. 🙃

I have multiple cats and can confirm they’re very social. I don’t recommend having one lone cat. My sibling confirmed it this year by noticing that their cat was behaving better when they got a second cat.
