I have never in my life seen a publicly owned strip club or heard of governmental strip club subsidisations.

Is that a US thing?

A national or international rail network makes long distance travel safer, faster, more affordable, more sustainable and by those factors incredibly more accessible to lower income citizens.

You pay taxes regardless, wouldn't you want them to go towards something that benefits you and your peers?

multiple spares apparently

Some questions (some are a bit polemic but I kinda wanna find common ground in the end):
Do you drive on roads that you didn't pave yourself?
Do you maintain them yourself - if not, do you expect them to be generally connecting you to other places?
Do you use the public power grid?
Do you depend on water lines?
Have you ever taken a flight from a city's main airport?
Have you served, or support the military?

Do you consider any of these being publicly funded "socialism" or "demanding something of your peers"?

In general, the way things work in my home country - the district / city / county / state / federal government have funds to maintain things on their corresponding scale (ascending local to federal) that are deemed either publicly beneficial or even essential.
None of that is socialism, but in our case a "social democracy" i.e. making sure the bare, liveable minimum of life in this society functions through tax money and the federal budget in general.

So to me it looks.. weirdly disconnected to call any of these things "thinking you're owed something from your peers", just because one of these individual pieces might not be immediately relevant to your day to day routine.

Because its a net benefit for the vast majority of daily use cases.

Why would literally anyone not support that.

And i dont mean nobody can ever drive anything again, its just silly to day "i dont support the extension of public transport"

Its all yellow. The last couple years city council keeps suggesting people water the trees voluntarily. There's enough water here, but the many trees are vital to keep the microclimates bearable.

I'd even argue just generally don't drop major spoilers unannounced for older stuff either.
For newer stuff tag ALL spoilers, for old stuff at least tag MAJOR spoilers?

Interesting because everyone i know always went "which macbook pro is that? Q3 2018?"

Or is the number system a new addition? Most of my apple. Experience was in uni a good while ago

Yeah thats what you described, no?

It implies 2 computers on the same local network(connected to the same router, no internet connection required).

I'm by no means a core skyrim player - I've never played through the story - but I love mods that improve the sandbox aspect of the game.

So: Frostfall for basic survival mechanics (that don't suck)
A new start-live another life - you're not the dragon born. You're just some dude.
Wearable Lanterns - immersive af
Diseased - improves on diseases and afflictions
Inconsequential NPCs - adds some more life to the world
Civil War battlefields and civil war overhaul redux and/or skyrim at war reborn - adds random npc battles, old battlefields, armies marching, and some more mechanics around the war that's supposed to be ongoing in the world around you.
True storms / other full weather overhauls - what it says on the tin.
Also there are some really cool companion mods that add quest lines about their background as you progress.

Local co-op is same machine, shared screen. Aka couch co-op

You're talking about LAN.

At least thats how it would be referred to around here
