It seems like everyone has a different opinion on the seriousness of climate change and what we should do about it. I wrote a blog on how we can cooperate in the presence of such disparity. Can a carbon tax unite us?

Princess Esmeralda’s day had begun with a wedding and a stepmother, progressed on to demons and bargaining, and had only gotten more frustrating from there.
In the center of her expansive bedroom perched on her favorite chair, his feet up on of the small, gilded footstool she’d purchased in Bezier the previous year, a demon dressed all in red stared at her with a curiously bemused expression. He had long coal black hair and sharp teeth set into a mobile, expressive mouth that said and did none of the things she wanted it to. He had long fingered, taloned hands inked with swirling black tattoos, a long, dark, sinuous tail that was itself tattooed with long, dark, sinuous lines, and indeed if he had stood up in her presence the Princess would have thought his whole body was long, and then in staring at it would have realized its dimensions were too by long by half.
But instead all she really saw was the red. Red lips, a smart red suit and pants stitched with gold threads, inlaid with the occasional emerald. A red leather belt and a slim red collar and red rage over-top it all when his lips opened and the wrong words bubbled out. “I really fail to see how any of this benefits me,” the demon drawled.
“Hell with you, what about me?” Princess Esmeralda cried, that having been enough for the most of things she had ever wanted in life.
“Take my home’s name out of your mouth,” the demon said, forked flicking out to lick his lips, “or I shall take it out for you.”
The Princess blinked, sat back in her second best chair, folded her hands neatly in her lap, and tried her best to think. It was inconceivable, but it seemed the creature was saying no.
“You’ve offered me nothing,” the demon said, "I asked for your soul and you offered gold, your father’s, not even your own, and in any event I have no use for gold. I asked for half your life and you turned up your pretty little nose at it. And then much aside from any of that, I can’t even make sense of your plan! Tell it to me again, one last time so that I might repeat it proper to my friends when I go back home.”
Princess Esmeralda, her voice a tightly composed coil of rage, gripped the arms of her chair, crossed her legs aggressively as she had seen other, more wanton women do (the pose showed a shocking sliver of ankle), and reiterated her plan one last time. “You, you frightful little man, will make for my stepmother’s rooms, or my father’s rooms, or wherever their blighted wedding consummation is being held,

I have her "offer body", the client accepts, and then they just start chatting. A minute later I get a pop-up saying "Prostitute unable to show for situation, expected: 0"
I'm new to Wicked Perversions (I have had WW for a while), so is there something I'm doing wrong or a way to fix this? I've tried it on multiple lots and lot types, even empty lots with just my sim and her client, and nothing is working.
I have some sort of model which acts similar to a post (or something similar to a post) and then, I added the wicked_pdf to make my clients happy with pdf exports. The problem is that it is fine with development environment, but when I change the environment to the production, I get this:
ActionView::Template::Error (The asset "number_pages.js" is not present in the asset pipeline
How can I fix this issue?

As I write my UX reading report, I became really intrigued by how UX Design can be used to solve societal problems, specifically immigration. Also, I became interested in the kind of work thats being done today. This article is an interesting one that emphasizes empathy and the importance of creating personas.
When worldbuilding for fiction, one generally wants to build a world that the audience is willing to engage with for a considerable time. If the audience believes in the world, but finds it too damn dark, they will probably disengage and go do something else.
This is a well-known problem:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooBleakStoppedCaring
Suppose I want to do some worldbuilding with realistic sociology, and the key problems of the world are human trafficking and child abuse. These are big, huge problems and they are not likely to be solved completely in the course of a single story.
The only author I can think of who did this well was Charles Dickens. He convinced his audience that social inequality was bad and that good people would work to make things better, and they actually went out and tried to do that. The problem is that all too often in the history of "progress," stupid people have believed that their pet cause is the key to reforming all the evils in the world. For example, 19th-century idiots in the USA were convinced that Demon Rum was the biggest evil, and anyone who fought against alcohol use was fighting on the side of the angels. The ultimate result was Prohibition, which empowered organized crime and made the USA a less healthy society.
Now, in the real world, I can argue that child abuse is a "wicked problem," and I am using that phrase as a technical term:

I can write a fictional world with true 'wicked problems' but that world will be too damn bleak no matter what the heroes do. My workaround is to write a fictional world with hard problems that are not truly 'wicked'. My hope is that while my fictional world is childishly simple compared to the real world, it will nonetheless be plausible enough to get smart people thinking about 'wicked problems' in the real world.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

As far as I know I have finished all the required work for this summer class free credits course, however I still have not gotten the credit for it. Has everyone gotten credits for this free summer course yet?
I’m looking into doing the online MBA and the wicked problem attracted me. I’ve seen that it’s writing intensive, and a good amount of group work but that’s all. Can anyone give an example of what they’re writing for class? Also any other information would be great!
Except from Aafp or whatever their handle is who went to a non business grad program half a decade ago.
Lately, I downloaded the mod wicked whims.
But I noticed a problem. The ask to join in button (while having whooho) is not working.
It says it’s not finding the animation. I have the latest version of the mod, and a lot of animations (that definitely at least one of them have a triplet version).
Is there is anyone who can help me here? Thanks in advance

Hello!
Just wanna state that I've looked at the common mistakes tab on their actual website, and I don't think I'm doing it wrong.
