@UpdatingOnRome @PalmyrPar CK2 also never got playable theocracies.

@PalmyrPar CK2 is still so superior it’s crazy

Still unbelievably disappointed at the lack of ability to play a Republic or Theocracy in CK3, now almost 6 years into the game’s lifecycle. This should’ve been a feature at launch.

@Billymat120 Unfortunately I doubt I'll have time for it.

@t_a_w hello taw, i know its some time ago, but I hoped you could finish your work on one of your programs. i m talking about the files you uploaded on github (taw/etwng/markers). the readme file says there is still missing a decoder to unpack/pack the world.markers file. Any chance?

@promethurious @memeticsisyphus This chart has wrong colors so it's invalid.

@memeticsisyphus Yeah, the triangle is always a better go-to.

Btw the green square is completely fake. It is an inherent contradiction. It is impossible to hold those beliefs.

@mmt_lvt @lymanstoneky Insanity like #Return" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Mung… is based on lies and false claims of relationship to these thousand years old unrelated people.

@t_a_w @lymanstoneky I think that's a bit different, that's like Elizabeth Warren level fraud Presumably there are still some real Native Americans around?

it remains truly wild to me that Australian, New Zealand, and American indigenous peoples have so often chosen to prevent genetic research into their histories. i just cannot understand the mindset of "no, i would prefer to know less about my ancestors."

@mmt_lvt @lymanstoneky That's because it lets them falsely claim affinity with unrelated groups that lived in the same place thousands of years ago. All their lies become harder once it turns out they came to their current places fairly recently.

@lymanstoneky If they are from a small ethnic group then some corporate gene analysis company might give them some AI slop report which rounds them all down to Asian or European and erases what makes them unique and even misidentifies their ethnicity

You guys do realize how schizophrenic "immutable variable" sounds like?

@mmt_lvt You're so used to housing crisis that you can't even imagine what abundance looks like.

I've finally found the one YIMBY in the world who goes too far for me

@robprogressive If people were being fleeced at £1m+/person incomes then whatever, but having majority of people's income stolen at incomes too low to afford a small flat in London is just ridiculous.

@robprogressive The problem isn't progressive income tax, it's at how ridiculously low income the fleecing starts, no joint filling, and no deductions. A household with one £50k earner already starts paying 42% tax+NI (plus 13.8% by employer, so >50%). US median household income is over £60k.

44.7% of the U.K population do not contribute any income tax  Yet the top 0.1% earners pay 10% of the total taxes. The top 1% pay 29% of the tax

The top 10% pay 69% of the total tax revenue  £150,000 earner pays £53,460 in income tax but a £25,000 earner pays £2,486 So no, we should NOT tax the rich more. They are ALREADY taxed more. 

No wonder all the millionaires are leaving the U.K.  
And how is this ‘fair’?

Twitter won't even let me post the link, so let's just say fuck Elon Musk.

Fun and Balance for EU4 1.37 released. This will probably be the final version.

@t_blom Compared with EU, UK has huge startup scene. Don't compare UK with US, US has twice the disposable income per capita, completely different kind of a country.

Why doesn’t the UK have more startups? Capital is fixed, technical talent is world class, tax incentives are great, visas mostly fine, university IP problems seem like they’re getting fixed. Free healthcare and social security net in the UK is a huge advantage that should make it dramatically easier to start companies vs US. There’s probably still a lack of scale-up leadership/exec hires. But, by far, the biggest barrier is cultural. Our national psyche doesn’t celebrate entrepreneurs and we have an extreme culture of risk-aversion. A huge majority of smart technical young people in the UK aspire to be lawyers or consultants or work in finance. These are safe careers with prestigious brands that guarantee people a safe, middle class lifestyle. We need our brightest young people to aspire to take risk and create world changing companies and generate billions of pounds of wealth. We need to help them believe it’s possible.

@arithmoquine This really just shows that the concept of "real numbers" is nonsense. Diagonal construction is an pseudo-algorithm that doesn't terminate.

one of my favorite facts to tell people is: > the probability of a randomly selected real number being computable is zero it feels really counterintuitive at first if you haven't heard it before, but if you just think about it for a moment it becomes satisfyingly obvious
