@adrianmorales Scandinavian countries have this handled pretty well. They should be an example. It's not fully government based, but it's pretty decent!

Write yourself into a scene & then have another character (also you) argue with you about something important. Hash it out in dialog and watch yourself rationalize and minimize, and then have other-you point it out.
Steven Levitsky, author of "How Democracies Die," on comparisons between today’s US and Germany in the 1930s.
“Levitsky … thinks Trump-Hitler comparisons are generally exaggerated, [however] there are some important parallels between MAGA and Nazism. He said the normalization of Trump’s rhetoric is taking the country down a dark path.”
On Thursday we visited an elderly & very vulnerable lady!
Her boiler had stopped working, she had no heating or hot water for days, she was very worried.
Yesterday the Community Plumbing & Heating Support - CPH CIC installers fitted a #FREE#boiler for her, this will ensure that she stays warm and safe, it will also give peace of mind to her family.
The boiler was supplied by CPH CIC, we are not government or council supported, all work, materials, boilers, parts are raised through paid work
This wonderful gentleman was quoted over £5,000 for a new boiler installation.
He called Community Plumbing & Heating Support - CPH CIC ( D.E.P.H.E.R ) for a second opinion.
After we assessed his situation and his partners situation we decided to do a #FREE boiler installation for him, his partener was in a care home, being cared for as he was very ill, he had very little left after paying towards the care.
He said to me
" Is it OK if I have a husband "
He thought that we would say no.
@DEPHER_1 This is heartwarming. Thank you for the work you do caring for those around you! ❤️
#alttext an old man with white hair, standing slightly bowed, shaking hands with a younger man dressed in a work polo shirt. They’re standing in front of the newly installed boiler. The old man is holding a piece of paper, presumably the paperwork for the new boiler.
@dada Pour le français moyen, c'est plutôt intéressant une offre tout en un comme celle-ci.
Pour les barbus comme nous, c'est sur que ça ne va pas forcément être très intéressant.
Les streamer vont se jeter dessus pour le 8Gbps symétrique ainsi que les apprentis sorciers qui veulent faire un DC dans leur salon avec leur rack ikea.
Perso je reste sur ma Delta S. Mais je suis curieux de voir sur la durée le débit moyen des connexions Fbx Ultra.
Elle a l'air vraiment bien la nouvelle freebox, mais 60 euroboules par mois (après les premiers 12 mois), ça fait cher. Mais y'a tous les abo possibles intégrés. La version essentiel avec rien c'est 50€ / mois.
Sinon 8Gb symétriques, Wifi 7, design très sympa, je suis hypé. #freebox#free
@sebsauvage J'étais exactement comme toi, mais en fait, je paye déjà plus cher pour l'ensemble des abos que j'ai déjà, du coup c'est avantageux de toute manière.
