This is all very good advice for people living in 2004-ish.
Your solution is to wait for the violence and then play defense?
“Everyone should be scared” is some 2016 nonsense.
Everyone should be proactively doing everything in their power can to destroy the lives of his base.
“Trump said untrue thing! Hey! He can’t do that!” says everyone who’s allowed him to do that for 10 years.
In what sense is anyone saying Bill Clinton is politically useful?
I don’t quite know yet. I’ve played every Civ game since I started on the first with my dad when I was about 11 years old- and I’ve loved every iteration for different reasons.
I’m approaching this one kind of the same way as always- I’m playing it kind of leaning on what I know about the franchise as a whole rather than trying to understand every more granular system, because a lot of things change while all the patches start rolling in and the expansions release. I play each new game sort of the same way I played the previous one, learning the new systems by making mistakes.
It’s early enough that I still don’t really understand most of the new systems- I will say that I am enjoying it just about as much as I enjoyed 5 and 6 at launch, but less than I enjoyed 4 at launch. Fully tricked out 5 and 6 are both excellent as far as I’m concerned, and I’m thinking this one has potential to get there.
Having said all that, I absolutely HATE the “Civ-switching” mechanic. It very much takes me out of the game. We’ll see how that develops.
Not with that attitude
Democrats’ messaging about January 6th is insane.
It is not morally wrong to do a Jan 6.
It is morally wrong to to do a Jan 6 for the reasons it was done.
Way to go- you’ve communicated to your base in advance that their only hope is to do something that’s absolutely reprehensible.
If you genuinely believe in this and haven’t taken action, you’re a huge coward.
Standing in the middle of a fully stocked supermarket saying, “well, I guess this is it. We have no choice but to kill and eat each other.”
Sodium citrate is the ingredient responsible for helping regular cheese to melt into a smooth, creamy sauce- it has the chemical formula Na₃C₆H₅O₇.
This is indeed how that sorta shit starts.
Worse, Americans also seem to have forgotten how to make that sort of shit end. Everyone agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago.
“Tyranny” over the people doing nothing but handwringing. The majority could at least try to make it harder for them?

Not sure, but someone’s probably going to find me on the 8th hole wrapped in plastic.
I have a feeling you would absolutely love “The Gargoyle” by Andrew Davidson.
Immediately after the tuna salad sandwich. Heck, treat yourself to a big glass of milk with those cookies, too.
