Conflict update on Split Restaurant Bills

@teaaddictyt informed me the mod conflicts with one of hers called Close the Kitchen, so I have added a compatible version for those of you that use it that. It needs to load after Tea's mod.

Grab it under conflicts in the original post.

I'll also mention because I got an ask that the tweaked version of Sunni's podium that improves routing when places over a counter can be used whether you want the mod or not, if you don't grab the mod it will act normal :)

Let us stand together in solidarity with the Iranian people in their struggle for their freedom, both from outside and within.

"If a partner approaches you about opening up your troubled relationship, or you think nonmonogamy might fix underlying issues, the first question you should ask is why this is coming up in this particular moment. Even if nonmonogamy has been on your or your partner’s mind for a while and they or you weren’t sure when or how to bring it up, presenting it at a moment when you’re struggling is just not the best time to do that.

You need to talk about what the problem is before you discuss solutions, just like anything else that’s going wrong in your life.

FYI, the flip side of this is also true: If you are in a nonmonogamous or polyamorous⁠ relationship with someone and it’s not going well, changing the terms of your relationship to a monogamous one or making any other big changes isn’t likely to fix the issues you are facing. We should note that sometimes people need to take a break from other partners to focus on their relationship. This is not the same thing as immediately going straight to monogamy. That time together helps you communicate and build the relationship you want, which could include any number of different shifts or structures, including monogamy if you find it works better for your relationship."

This clip is from a 1979 interview between Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini and CBS journalist Mike Wallace. For decades, American propaganda has portrayed Iran’s leadership as irrational and aggressive. But the history is a lot deeper than that.

In 1954, the United States helped install the Shah, whose regime was known for brutal repression against the Iranian people. After the 1979 revolution, the Shah fled and was given refuge in the United States. President Jimmy Carter refused to send him back to Iran, where many believed he should have faced accountability for the harm done during his rule.

So when you hear talk about attacking Iran “for the sake of the Iranian people,” remember the history. This has long been about power and control, not liberation. Don’t let propaganda rewrite the facts.

Every philosopher has his impulsive moments that frequently are real limitations for him, and to which he accommodates himself, etc. Hence those obscure places in a system for the investigator who isolates the system and doesn't study the philosophy historically and as a whole. Many of the confused controversies of modern philosophy are like the legends and gods of classical poetry. They recur in every system, but always in a new form.
