NWTB Egos as Sims +Madpat

A couple months ago I made Sims of various Youtuber Egos and their creators. These were actually my first of the bunch but posted last as they aren’t as popular as the other two groups. 

Phantom (He/Him) Spellcaster. Traits: Self-Absorbed, Outgoing, Materialistic

Natemare (He/Him) Spellcaster. Traits: Family Oriented, Music Lover, Gloomy

Sharper (He/Him) Human. Traits: Cat Lover, Genius, Geek

Madpat (He/Him) Human. Traits: Erratic, Genius, Perfectionist

Natewantstobattle (He/Him) Human. Traits: Geek, Creative, Active

Matpat (He/Him) Human. Traits: Good, Genius, Geek

Phantom, Mare, Sharper, and Mad all live in an apartment above Phantom’s bar. I even added a mod so the bar is a functional business. Matt and Nate live in a separate household with the other Youtubers. Nate and Mare originally didn’t have stretched ears but I changed it after I added the Eco Lifestyle pack to my game. 

Matt’s face is literally like a couple changes away from one of the preset faces. Mad also has burns on his chest and arms. The purple eyeshadow under Mare’s eyes is meant to be his stripes since I couldn’t find cc for them. They are also the only ego household with a pet; they have a raccoon named Lab-Rat(adopted by Sharper, named by Mad jokingly). Idk why I gave them a raccoon, it just fit.

CC: Some of Phantom’s tattoos, Sharper’s bandages and LED, Mad’s burns, some of Nate’s tattoos(unshown), Nate, Sharper & Mare’s gages.

[3 close up images of people wearing clothing with written text and/or patches.

The first image shows a person wearing a camouflage print hat with a patch that reads “0% of rural states have LGBT-inclusive no discrimination laws within foster care”

The second image shows person wearing cargo pants with a tree and leaf print on it that reads “Many rural LGBT people have been turned away at the hospital”

The third image shows the back of a flannel shirt with a patch that reads “89% of rural LGBT people lack access to LGBT healthcare]

US SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE IS CHANGING ITS NUMBER

Taking effect July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will change from 800-273-8255 to the three digit code of 988. Especially with families and communities reeling from back to back tragedies, it is super important to share this information!

Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988

[gardenvarietydespair]

Important add-ons, though, as someone who’s done policy work on this: 

It’s July 16, not just the start of July.

988 can not only be used as the suicide hotline, but for any sort of mental health or substance use crisis situation. As opposed to 911, the goal of 988 is that when dispatch is necessary, you’ll be met with a trained crisis response team rather than the police. The police will only be involved if there is an immediate threat to safety, which has almost never occurred in pilot programs - in one of the most well-known, Denver STAR, (which a lot of y’all seem to be familiar with) the police has actually never been called for backup. We’re hoping that this is going to get more individuals directed towards help rather than a prison cell. 

Uhm yeah I’ll add more stuff if I can think of anything.

[jadedaceofspades]

Thank you for the added information. Reblog this version as well, folkz.

If you can, please donate to the Internet archive, links in the description. The loss of the archive would be devastating for dozens of reasons.

[definitelynotcecelia]

I know the Library of Alexandria comment sounds like an exaggeration. It absolutely is not. As of May 7, 2022, the Internet Archive holds over 35 million books and texts, 7.9 million movies, videos and TV shows, 842 thousand software programs, 14 million audio files, 4 million images, 2.4 million TV clips, 237 thousand concerts, and over 682 billion web pages in the Wayback Machine. It’s been operating since 1996, the loss of knowledge would be impossible to ever completely come back from.

The lawsuit from Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins, John Wiley Sons, and Penguin Random House alleges there have been significant revenue losses because of their controlled digital lending program. For context, most libraries in the US also use CDL to distribute books to their patrons wherever they are but those programs are run through for profit companies and the libraries are often paying a very high fee to so their patrons can have access to digital books. The Internet Archive’s program is completely free but they have a policy of not digitizing and lending anything less than 5 years old.

The lawsuit goes on to note that authors often own larger shares of their revenue of digital vs. print copies of their books. So the publishing companies, seeing that they’re underpaying their authors, are essentially blaming a library for being free instead of bumping up what authors earn on print copies. The Internet Archive’s 5 year policy is designed to protect authors anyway as that’s when books typically make the most money.

[definitelynotcecelia]

Hey by the way The Internet Archive is also one of the most cited places on Wikipedia. If it goes down a good chunk of Wikipedia will go back to “citation needed” or citations will lead to dead links.

I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

[hymnsofheresy]

Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.

[hymnsofheresy]

Children shouldn’t be a “stage” in life that everyone is obligated to fulfill; childrearing is not for everyone. More importantly, children shouldn’t be state-enforced punishments for “irresponsible” sexual behavior.

Children are people with thoughts and feelings just like the rest of us. They are conscious of the way people treat them. And they can certainly tell when they are unwanted and/or resented.

[amelielb]

Ok, I've seen this sentiment before, but the amount of Kindle Unlimited ads I've been seeing is forcing me to repeat it-

Kindle Unlimited is offering two free months of unlimited ebooks. As a trial. Which will then become a paid subscription.

Your local library is offering unlimited ebooks all the time. Forever. No contracts, no predatory practices, no tracking of how long you spend on each particular page in the hopes that information about your habits can be sold for a profit.

Use your library. They want so badly to give you all of the things for free.

There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.

#CHIDI WAS RIGHT

[cosmik-homo]

The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that

[ghost-cassette]

And then went on to say “blaming individuals for all of this is absurd and evil, as is locking them up for punishment instead of rehabilitation” and I respect that

[autisticbisexualsokka]

Also, “consequentialism is a fundamentally flawed branch of ethics”

[bowditch]

PUNK IS WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY THAT IRRITATES PEOPLE WHO ARE USED TO HAVING TOTAL CONTROL. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These are similar to a flower I posted before, but the leaves are a different size. Nonetheless, they look pretty neat in UVIVF lighting.

it really bothers me that so many people on this site treat ableism like it’s black and white.

just now i saw a post where op was like “i’m glad that spinners are popular because it normalizes fidgets and decreases stigma” and someone replied like “no!! it’s absolutely TERRIBLE that neurotypicals are using these fidgets because when they get in trouble they make things harder for mentally ill kids!!” and like you guys do realize that? you’re both right? it isn’t a decisive fact that neurotypicals using fidgets is either good or bad, there are both benefits and consequences that need to be taken into consideration.

a few months ago there was a post going around that was like, *neurotypical voice* why are you bouncing your leg, and somebody reblogged it saying that the post was ableist because autistic kids can get overstimulated by leg bouncing. i go to a school for the mentally disabled, and i’ve been in this exact scenario, my classmate wasn’t able to focus because i was bouncing my leg and although i felt bad i told him that i wouldn’t be able to stop for long because i do it subconsciously due to my adhd. he wasn’t being ableist for asking me to stop, and i wasn’t being ableist for saying i couldn’t, we just both had different needs. in the end, our compromise was that i went to work in the computer lab.

you have to understand that there is always more than one side to issues like these, and that we should be striving for understanding and balance over demonization of one side and blind support of the other. this is especially relevant when people on both sides are mentally ill or disabled, because sometimes symptoms will clash and you just need to deal with it.

[frutee]

can everyone on this site just please. read this last paragraph a few times. this is a great anecdote to express this. black and white thinking is bad.

[caitas-cooing]

Conflicting access needs are real and we can’t get rid of them only communicate and work around them

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

[conarcoin]

disabled people should not have to pay to live their lives like everyone else. and in the case of insulin, disabled people should not have to pay to Not Fucking Die
