Civ 6 is fun and has some genuine improvements over Civ 4 while also being a direct upgrade to Civ 5. None of those statements are contradictory, and it's perfectly possible to be a Civ 4 loyalist (as I unabashedly am) without aggrandizing ourselves with the same nonsense about smart phones, or...

Just a heads up guys, I still have a copy of the map, but it was adapted slightly to work with a mod I liked at the time. I shouldn't have any trouble reverting it but it HAS been years since I modded Civ 4 in any way, so give me a day or two to make sure everything works and I'll reupload it.

Hey, I'm both glad and surprised that people are still playing that map of mine even after all these years! I don't have Civ 4 installed at the moment, but I should still have the file somewhere on my hard drive. I'll see if I can fish it out and reupload it.

That's fair and not the interpretation I got at first, I apologize. I think I was mentally framing the issue differently than you were, but I don't think we actually disagree with eachother from the sound of it.

Counterpoint: if there's no point at which you feel willing or able to say to someone, "your behavior as it pertains to me is not acceptable, and if it doesn't stop then I can't be with you", your relationship is probably not a healthy one.

I don't think most of the people who like mocking SJWs make that distinction, honestly.

I actually thought the first post was satire but we have 3 pages of people entertaining the idea that catcalling is good and we should be fostering a culture around it, in this, The Year of Our Lord 2017. I don't know what's real anymore. :(

Fun fact: there's an inverse correlation between education levels and birth rates. If you want to deal with overpopulation you should be a strong advocate for women's education, especially in less-developed countries (as RomanKing alluded to). So ironically becoming an SJW yourself would be a...

This is doubly true if you also have mental issues. That was the case in my last relationship but somehow any discussion of her problems and how they impacted the relationship were never allowed to come up.

People keep treating these kinds of preferences as something that just sprang fully-formed from the ether and that can be divorced from their holders' culture and upbringing. And again I'm saying this is not the case.

I know it's kinda not for this thread but this is pretty fascinating to me. You do have a point, men are expected to not display their emotions as openly, and a guy with feminine characteristics is generally judged for it more than a woman with masculine characteristics. On the other hand, I'd...

In theory, yes. In practice: These things don't exist in a vacuum, society has a big influence on what its members find beautiful, and we live in a society that marginalizes pretty much anyone who isn't white.

Gender issues are complicated, and I won't pretend to understand them. I'll even admit that trans issues in particular confuse me to an almost uncomfortable degree. I do know that there's a right way and a wrong way to express that sentiment, though, and using terms like "mentally disturbed"...

Came here to post this, along with the fact that it's easier to wage war when you're all in the same landmass. This has been true probably since Civ 3, maybe even earlier.

Whoa, I remember Arakhor from years ago! Congrats on the promotion as it were. :)
