Ridiculous! Tariffs on antimatter now!

Mating season. These guys will hump a rotten mango.

And those are not its thighs.

Um yea, and gloves. STDs are a thing? I hope this doesn't honestly strike the writers as odd.

Assuming the probability of assholiness based on culture is how you treat cultures unequally.

If you agree that bad ideas can be part of cultures (large or small) to a higher or lesser degree, it follows that some cultures have a higher frequency of people with the need for the individual 'education' you're suggesting.

This phrasing always bothers me a little, because, as even the article quotes a scientist saying: “All colors are made up by the brain.”

Purple is special because it triggers from non-continuous wavelengths of light, not because the subjective experience of purple is an invention of the brain. Being 'invented' is something common to all colors. Or sounds. Or tastes.

And 'assholes' just appear at random? Nothing in these groups increases or decreases the asshole frequency? Imagine if we thought of all culture that way. Forget about progressive politics changing people's minds and thereby their behavior. "Some people are just 'assholes', what are you gonna do?"

There are lots of typical patterns, but sometimes you get more interesting stuff. Playing with no guessing helps you discover stuff that at first appears random. There's also a game called Tamesi which takes a different approach and has designed maps that work like puzzles.

I'm sure I'll move on at some point, but I'm currently running maybe 30 mods on civ 6, and they are mostly QoL. Parts of both gameplay and UI are just poorly thought out even to this day. So I was expecting the new game to be released in a state I'd dislike. It might take longer to improve than I thought, though.
