Well on the Apple subreddit im SURE there is no bias there...

Really the problem in Civ V was (imo) that combat was very bad to compensate for the poor AI. Cities and ranged units was OP so it was very hard to attack anyone. In Civ VI the AI is actually able to take your cities but also crumble much more easily because combat is no longer extremely stacked towards the defender.…

Love solo travelling. I went to Miami Beach last year, did a food walking tour and a boat tour and talked to some nice people during those, but mostly kept to myself with my book, my music and my beach towel. It was heaven.

Dude, take it up with corporate.

The voice acting on some of those phone recordings is truly haunting. You can feel the fear and desperation building as you discover more and more of them, and then it gets dark.

People hate having a story fleshed out slowly, behind the scenes, where you have to actually work to find things out.

I like how when taxes are cut for the rich and we criticize it, we all get yelled at about how “it’s not a zero-sum game!!”

Literally now literally means not literally.

We’ve set up a new weekly ritual with our kids that started 3 years ago. Sunday night movie night. We rotate who gets to pick the movie. We set up a theatre with a great popcorn maker and comfy seats. Adults usually pick the oldies but goodies (they can now watch some movies they couldn’t watch 3 years ago), the kids…

up to 16 people can play with and see each other in a lobby, each star system is a lobby and all bases within that system are visible to everyone, abandoned or not.

Apparently you can see other players as a ball of light, though I’ve never run into one and have only found 1 system out of hundreds that I’ve been in that had been claimed by someone else.

Being accused of heating after a hero run like that, is like the cherry on top. I’m almost disappointed if I don’t get one of those hatemails after a match lol

Eh. My skin is horrible enough anyway, how much worse could it be?

It’s 250 calories that you’re not consuming. That’s not potential, that’s actual.

250 calories is 250 calories. I don’t understand “Might as well”.

Because of the sentences immediately preceding that one.

You don’t understand how insurance works do you? You can’t get insurance to the older people without reducing the overall risk by also including younger/healthier people. It all works in the sense that down the road those younger people are old and need the insurance more, but the new crop of younger people are there…

There are also entirely private fire departments like Rural Metro which have locations in Arizona, Tennessee and Oregon.

I’m successfully well off. I own a home. I make enough that budgeting is easy. I also recognize that I live in a society, and that society helped me get where I am. Schools, roads, health care, law enforcement, unemployment insurance, etc. And since I belong to that society, I am comfortable paying into the system a…

My father who believes everything said by the Chinese Communist Party really likes Michael Bay’s Transformer movies. He believed that the US and Chinese government are working in a project to create these “robots”, oblivious to the whole plot of the movie that the robots are alien lifeform.
