Humans are inherently stupid creatures (the writer of this post included). That’s just a fact. We decide on a basis of “what’s best for me” (screw all the others), and if there’s someone who tells them that all the bad things happening to them (no job, no money- people in need actually get money from our state, but many feel that’s that not enough- and maybe, it really is-, no perspective) is because the state would much rather help The Others, then, unfortunately, people will vote for them. Couple that with racist sentiments and a sense of foreign infiltration and you got a toxic cocktail. It’s suddenly become fashionable again to be racist. Just like antisemitism became fashionable again in the late 1800s- early 1900s.

It’s probably gonna be fine, the party will destroy itself (has already happened in at least one state parliament), in fact, it has already started- one member of the party flat out refuses to work with the others…

I guess we’ll see in another four years.

Why my country is f*cked

twofingerswhiskey said: ??

The German general election was today and our very own right-wing extremist/protest party got over 13% (Very recently, they told the public that they would “hunt down” chancellor Merkel (she’s been re-elected. We have the tendency to keep our chancellors for a very long time.) and the established parties, and chanted “Germany back to the Germans”. 

Also, the preach water but drink wine (they are against homosexuals or at least giving homosexuals certain rights (they are very focused on the nuclear family, going as far as demonising single parents), immigrants, and refugees, but one of their chairwomen is a lesbian in a relationship with an Asian woman, who has adopted a child and has recently come under fire for illegally hiring a refugee woman as a cleaning lady… yeah.).

I mean, that would be bad enough if it happened in every other country, but f*cking Germany?! You’d think people would read a history book, but nooo…

And don’t even get me started on the fact that we now have 6 parties in our parliament, which unfortunately also means that we’ll have a three-party government and therefore, an unstable government. We specifically have a law that tries to prevent this (”5% barrier”) because back in the old days, we had a myriad of parties and no working government, which kind of led to Hitler.

On the positive side, 87% of all voters didn’t vote for the second coming of Hitler. (Yeah, I have a very strong opinion on that. Sorry.)

Eh, our very own extremely right-wing party (and we’re no longer talking ‘just’ about them proposing to shoot refugees and refugee children trying to enter the country, nope, we’re now at “We should be proud of our WWII achievements/ Hitler wasn’t thaaat bad, guys”. Seriously. But okay, we’re a democracy, and as long as they don’t cross the legal line, they are free to say that…) is expected to get more than 10%. But no one’s going to actually form a coalition with them, so we’re good (the rest depends on your personal preference, but we won’t suddenly be without healthcare or sth like that. I guess that’s the positive thing when all your parties are extremely similar to each other?) Thank you!

didilysims said: It’s the same with adoption, isn’t it? No confirmation so if you misclick, whoops!

I’m pretty sure they eventually added an “Are you sure?” pop up. At least I have it in my game. But then again, I have several adoption hacks, so I’m not too sure about that.

I’ll be so happy when the Bundestagswahl (German general election) is over. For the last few days, I’ve been flooded with advertisements online. Youtube, Tumblr (that right-wing one), even fricking Modthesims! But yay, the German parties have finally figured out how the internet works? *Cue to Merkel’s famous “Neuland” speech (”The internet is uncharted territory for all of us”- Merkel 2013, got many people laughing. 2013!!!)*

Also, to all my German followers (do I have any?). Go vote. You can make a difference.

A whole lot of replies

The crew of GSC#7

jaydesims said: Ah I’ve missed them too! ❤️

They are still one of my most favourite Sims (and my favourite BACC idea- yes, they are actually a BACC, how’s that?) and they- well, their templates are still safely tucked away on my external harddrive… one day.

Good morning, Sandy!

didilysims said: She doesn’t look like she’s ready for this level of responsibility yet!

XD. She’d probably much rather have the raise without the added responsibility (let’s just pretend she was promoted to Senior Masseuse or sth…)

Vacation time!

greenfooddog said: Exciting!

didilysims said: Have a blast! (Though you’re probably back now :P)

Thanks! It was lovely. Been there before, but took my bf along this time. he loved it, too. Got a tad too “comfy” with airport security, but other than that, it was lovely. Probably shouldn’t attempt to enter the United States, ever. XD

Polly.

eulaliasims said: As she has always planned to do! I, for one, welcome our new avian overlord.

Hail Polly, conqueror of the Sim World.

didilysims said: That face. She’s just asking us to try to stop her.

The parrots in this game are clearly up to something…

Joe f*cking up, again.

holleyberry said: Doh! Sandy?!

Hey, she’s all about free love! If Joe accepted…

German punctuality

didilysims said: Wow, for international flights here it’s recommended to arrive 3 hours early–minimum. I miss Europe! 😦

Well, due to ~Europe~ and the fact that GB is still part of Europe (sorry, Brexit fans), it is a lot less rigid here. Even with the heightened security (they really did step up their game since last year), turning up 80 minutes early was more than enough.

Baby Plantsims!

holleyberry said: Oops!

didilysims said: Those darn spores are tricky!

They really are. (No, really. While I did that one on purpose, one misclick and you suddenly have a new household member. Not sure if EA thought that through… Then again, not many Simmers play Plantsims).

Kaylynn, the mean room mate.

didilysims said: Oh this is going to be good.

What could possibly go wrong?

Kaylynn… lurking…

didilysims said: Whatcha doing Kaylynn?

Dunno, stuff? Do you really want to know what she’s doing there?

Fyi

I’ve upped the queue to 12 posts per night (whoah!) because I have 300 posts in the queue and 28 in my drafts folder, and am like three rounds ahead of the queue (not to mention the upcoming interlude of Teens challenge pictures). So in order to have any chance to ever catch up to Middleground, I decided to spam you.

Also, I’ll be in Glasgow (Scotland) from Sunday until Thursday and therefore, inactive aside from my queued posts.

Aonda Andrea vs the dog

davidmont said: THIS ROUND!!!

Of course! You think I’d give up that easily?

didilysims said: Hey at least it’s a different spot. Baby steps!

Once Andrea has enough money, I’ll plunk down a drive way, right there. Where will you dig then, dog, huh?

The Burglar

didilysims said: A sure sign of wealth!

I guess he can count himself lucky, then?

300 post limit

greenfooddog said: Yes! It’s like ‘You’ve reached your post limit for today!’ How dare you limit the artistic process, Tumblr!?!

I mean, is there a technical reason for it? 

davidmont said: Yes, on plus there is a Video limit of 100Mb or 5mins and a Max gif size of 2Mb LOL.   I wish I could have more stuff on queue.  But drafts it’s limit less, I’ve got more than 1000 posts there 🌝

Ah, did not know this! Thanks! (If you could see all the junk in my drafts queue… XD

didilysims said: Wow, congratulations! 😛

Thank you, thank you.

The Breakup

didilysims said: Ooh, I’ve sometimes wondered what would happen to couples whose turn-on/off-related skills changed. Thanks for satiating my curiosity! 😀

Sometimes, if I really like the couple and they are still head over heels into each other, I let them change their turn-ons. Let’s pretend it’s couple counselling. But if they don’t, I break them up/divorce them. It adds a little bit of drama to my gameplay.

didilysims said: Also I really like Andrea’s new outfit. 🙂

Thanks. Took me a long time to find it, but when I did, I knew that it would fit her just perfectly.
