Why do people keep proposing tax cuts to encourage this? Tax cut for children or tax cut for married couples.
Do they think people will really make such huge life-changing decisions for a couple hundred pounds a year?

Divinity original sin 2 was the one I couldn't play with a newborn.
Mainly by the time I'd gotten the game loaded, remembered what was happening and how to play- he was awake again.
On the plus side it caused me to jump from hours long rpgs to trying a lot more pick up and play games.

Main bulk of the article is that the internet has affected how we socialised. Which could be true.
But then her solutions are all the things we've seen governments offer and not cause any change!
In the article the proposals are:tax cuts for families with kids, more youth clubs and better romcoms

Honestly the only one that comes to mind is the Dragonlance- shadow of the dragon queen.
Which actually doesn't read like a terrible adventure but just feels a bit like it slightly half asses bringing Dragonlance into 5e.

He merely adopted wankery, we were born in it, molded by it.

So many red flags that for some people it became a green flag?

Also embracing miasma theory but then doing nothing to improve clean air or ventilation?
Honestly is he going to get rid of hand hygeiene in healthcare next?

I have friends and in laws who have openly stated that if a government like reform comes in a precedent has been set with Begum that questions what stops their citizenship from being just taken away.

But seriously just frustrates me saying that was a great vision when all it was was cut public services.
No pathway or route outside of that just cut and the private sector will take over.
And look where's it's left us.

Yeah wrote that part, posted then thought.
Well I think there are probably a lot of people like that and I'm just in recency bias mode.

And I'm not even talking about the general public!
Billionaires and hedge funds who thought he wouldn't go ahead with tariffs.
Companies dependant on foreign workers who didn't think he'd go after immigrants of all stripes.
What on earth lead them all into this delusion of supporting this man?

Honestly, can't believe the lawyers didn't tell the families how unlikely this was to work.
Surely no judge would overrule the governments ability to decide what taxes it wants to levy?

Planning to do all of these while also invading itself?

Is that an alternative treatment or the area being treated?

Yeah, the Catholic church over there has parts of it which are quite Americanized in there own way. Some of the leaders were very staunchly opposed to what Pope Francis wanted to do.
The fact Trumps support is so strong from evangelicals just shows what they prioritize really.

Also, just that balance of trying to catch someone's eye but also not feel like you're staring daggers at them.
Honestly it's a joy just to go up when no one is there and get your order done and dusted.

The second half is quite a good guide and think just needed to trim most of the top part.

Looking at the piece a second time, after jumping straight into joking about it, I think the issue is really just the first half of it.
The long classification of pubs feels likes it's more complicated then it needs to be and also the odd part about Brits favourite pasttime being trying to order.

Most bemused by this section which suggests that one of the nations favourite pastimes is trying to get someone's attention at a pub to get served.
Do some people spend all night at the bar just to get the thrill of failing to order your drinks?
