    What are your "unpopular" opinions about Civ6?

    I want to go back to the blank slate model of earlier Civs. Don't limit Civilizations to only ever excel in one particular stereotyped way - if you want to distinguish Civilizations let it be through development in the game and not through the leader selection screen. 1 UPT needs to go...

    [GS] Your first impression score of this expansion

    4/10 from me. Feels very buggy to me, especially map generation is bad (barbarians and city state spawns). World congress is too random. Addition of future era just busy-work, adds little to game. Disasters are good, except that Climate Change is meh (and too focused on sea level instead of...

    [R&F] So...How's R&F?

    Here is what I like: Loyalty, Dark/Golden Ages, the concept of Governors and the emergency system. I do not like the implementations of many of these systems. The governors seem poorly balanced (Magnus is too OP with chopping). Thematically, I also do not think they fit the game. First, they...

    Is Corbyn right about "requisitioning" property from the rich?

    Probably too direct an intervention, but I feel government involvement in housing in major cities is necessary. Problem is that once you own a good property in a city you have it made. The profit margin when renting out is very large and if you have enough units almost risk-free. On the other...

    Popular Feminist Takes 'The Red Pill' : Beds White Supremacist

    This is actually hard to tell, since most people do not bother to count them (nor would I). I think there is a larger number than we would like. If I google "anita sarkeesian death threats" images, then I find a disturbing number of different ones. Even so, it is hard to tell how many people are...

    Popular Feminist Takes 'The Red Pill' : Beds White Supremacist

    People usually post the most ugly messages, as this helps them making their point about how bad the other side is. That there were no death threats on the first page is a very good indicator that there weren't any or not many. This being said, if a matter generates enough controversy there...

    Breaking News! Members of Congress shot in Virginia.

    First off, let me just say I suspect that you over exaggerate the frequency of Antifa attacks, but I do not have time to look up numbers now, so let's just say for sake of argument that this is correct. In that case, I would like to suggest that the extremist left is more likely to attack you...

    Popular Feminist Takes 'The Red Pill' : Beds White Supremacist

    Eh, I think it is ok to call out people on who they associate with by their own free will (especially something as important as a significant other). Of course, calling them out should not grow to doxxing or harrassment, so clearly the people took it to far. On the other hand a equally...

    Breaking News! Members of Congress shot in Virginia.

    Honestly, I think the right leaning part of this Forum grossly overestimates the popularity of Antifa in the left mainstream (i.e. Democrats). I am pretty left, and I don't know anyone who supports Antifa violence. Nor has any left leaning politicians or otherwise influential person called for...

    Breaking News! Members of Congress shot in Virginia.

    Eh, every poll shows Trump being less popular and the Democrats gaining ground. Elections in districts that have been solidly red for decades are suddenly close. Also, it is not as if the Republicans have managed to implement much of their agenda so far. If the presidential vote was repeated...

    Is AI really brain dead?

    One UPT is one main reason why the Civ 6 (and to a slightly lesser degree, the Civ 5) AI is bad. People point out to tactics simulations like Panzer General or Fantasy General working, but if you look at the main difference between them and Civ 6 one UPT you also can understand why one works and...

    Chris Matthews Lectures Ben Carson About the Pyramids

    The grain thing was only Civ 3 I think. In Civ 1 and 2 it unlocked all governments, similar to 4 but more powerful. Civ 3 is the outlier.

    Could I power my home with a rowing machine?

    To split some hairs, while "change in power" has indeed that particular unit it does not stand to reason that everything with that unit has to be "change in power".

    Gasp to Bride: You’re a fat joke. We don't want your custom. Thanks for complaining

    She is not fat. And not only when considering American Standards, in fact what I consider wrong with them is that by them you are either seem to be extremely thin or you are considered fat. That's probably why you get so many extremes. After all if you get called fat when looking like this...

    Little Miss Perfect

    I don't see problems with justifying the state to intervene - there is a good case to be made that it amounts to child abuse.
