    I doubt you need more than a notepad app. It’s what I used the last two times I had to move between countries and it was more than enough for me and customs. I simply wrote down important stuff as I put them in numbered boxes.

    Spreadsheet are overkill, a note app is easy to access on your phone at all time and can be easily shared with someone.

    Here’s a sample of what I ended up with:

    • 15 - camera stands / shoemaking tools / notepads / trophies / guitar cable / weaved basket X2 / cooler bag / curtain rings X 3 /

    …

    • 25 - Nespresso coffee machine, Italian coffee maker, plates & dishes, kitchen utensils.
    • 26 - casserole, dishes, plates, kitchen stuff
    • 27 - casserole, cups
    • 28 - wedding dress, photos, various cat stuff, photo bag

    Well, I do believe twitter makes people less intelligent^* which lead to Americans electing Trump (twice even), which eventually impacts me somewhere down the line.

    ^* Because the focus on short sentence and the engagement algorithms favours highly polarised angry one liners that trigger primal emotion and is a successful assassination of any intelligent discourse.

    And I say that having seen the progressive brain rot of my parents after they retired and started doomscrolling on twitter and being bombarded by more and more extreme messages, until it became a constant stream that can be summarised roughly by “brown people = bad”.

    They arrest a Briton every year for some dumb shit to remind everyone else to follow the law. At this point it has become a tradition, it’s like their version of Guy Fawkes night but with a real person.

    Usually the story is also a bit more complex than the “detained in Dubai” people tell you, sometime it is actually unfair, sometime they just hide half of the fact it to make it look unfair.

    In any case in the UAE, you can go to jail or at least get fined for insult and slander. You can agree or disagree whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing but everyone living there knows it.

    You don’t get arrested for bad reviews. People review stuff on gmap and other all the time. I’ve left my fair share of 1 star to crappy places so there must be more than “he was jailed for a bad review”. It’s most likely for insulting someone.

    Of course I have no idea what the other side of the story actually is or what the review said.

    I remember very well bioware games and others in past decades got the same kind of reaction because « omg gay romance, that kind of agenda shouldn’t be pushed in a video game, think of the children ».

    So now the new social “battle” is trans right and the game has a gender questioning character (From a review, I haven’t played) that seems to take at most a whole 5 minutes over the course of the whole game. Why not.

    Now the game has been designed to cater to 10 year old and not the older crowd who played the original so it doesn’t have the depth you’d want and the dialog is on the nose. Well, too bad. Just play something else.
