@BillWiIdin An easy solution would be to make it a sliding scale where companies ALWAYS have to pay benefits - 40 hours, full benefits, 30 hours, 3/4 benefits, etc. At 0 employees with 0 hours they can get away with none. Rigid cutoffs which can be trivially bypassed seem like a charade.

@spudley99 @MrMeatballYT When I'm driving around there's a dead or dying village or small town centre like every five minutes, a reminder of the times when one *couldn't* just quickly pop in somewhere 10+ km away - and yes, that's the iconic "rural lifestyle" indeed.

@X_neptuna_X @a2_incognita @MrMeatballYT So popular back in the day that even Walt Disney wanted one but passed away before realizing it (I've seen opinions that it was perhaps for the best for his legacy). Also traditionally people had very small home ranges up until relatively recently.

@ChiefEngineerCE @bumbadum14 Which at least where I like, is largely because blue collar companies have competed each other to the ground, thus every cent and second spend on training has been an intolerable loss. Now they're waking up as they literally can't hire enough workers anymore from anywhere.

@Tinkafur Which is very difficult to resist especially these days when the majority of the population are sliding into financial insecurity due to stagnant wages, crumbling welfare system, homes losing value or becoming worthless due to banks refusing loans for critical repairs, etc.

@Tinkafur Yeah. Finland has no visible low-level corruption or the need for such crude methods as brown envelopes - instead like you said, politicians who play the game receive appointments for life-long financial security (hillotolppa) and occasional jet-set life on other peoples' money.

@_Radjin_ Since IIRC the arguments are that it causes neighborhoods to stagnate due to property taxes being fully reassessed during ownership changes which discourages moving, starves highly valued areas of property taxes, and disproportionately favours people who bought decades ago.

@_Radjin_ Ironically at the same time, when-ever I see discussion turn to California's proposition 13 which *does* strictly cap property tax increases in order to prevent the displacement of long-standing property owners, it's because people rail against it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_Cali…

@DayzerHusky I feel this because at work I have to be either part of a workgroup and interact with my co-workers all day long, or when I'm working as a foreman I'm answering phones and making phonecalls etc. all day long. Often makes it very hard to have social energy after work.

@NissanNessan Steam locomotives are indeed very satisfyingly mechanical, no matter how much better diesel and electric ones are. Too bad that they're so expensive to keep in running condition, as was found out during the '70s-'80s attempt to maintain a steam locomotive emergency stockpile.

@Tinkafur The reality, yes, because to them a replacement is just an unnecessary cost as long as the existing device"works", even if there's no contingency plan for when it finally stops working suddenly.

@Lumituber @OhdakeStudio That tummy! Also, at least the beer's Karhu and not Lapin Kusi or Kurjala. ;3

@NissanNessan I should try, yes! I hate how my early life traumas still tend to get in the way even at this age, since I continue to be much more apt about being invited somewhere than attempting to ask to be invited or attempting to arrange something as it always feels it'll "go wrong".

@speedoru Germany refused to allow the game to be sold solely on the basis that it technically featured Nazis and a Nazi concentration/death camp unless the whole portion was cut out, leading to the German version of the game becoming broken and unfinishable.

@speedoru One immediate example which comes to mind, is the old point&click adventure I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream in which one of the characters is a former pseudo-Nazi concentration camp doctor, and his portion happens in the camp where he must right his old wrongs to win.

@NissanNessan I admit that it's a similar feeling when you're in the handle end of the leash, although also something to be done sparingly in order to preserve the magic. ^^
