I don't think they should have backed down from the civ switching mechanic, I'm worried they're building the game for people who have already written it off instead of building the game for people who are actually playing it.

Civilization VII is set for a major update that finally let players stay as one civ through all Ages, as the boss of parent company Take-Two has admitted: “we got it wrong.” bit.ly/4eybrvU

@lost_nomad__ Societies with elaborate racial hierarchies like that get more racist as ppl see the impact of genetics - white mx and Brazilians 100x more racist than US white anglos
English
The foreseeable future of America is multiracial. By region even. The Southwest will be Anglo-Mexican, the West Coast Latin-Wasian, etc
Another reason it’s imperative we forget about race. Race discussions in the gen pop provide much more opportunity for division than unity

@The_Wampus_Cat @xwanyex I agree that that's a very bad basis for voting. Voting for the best interests of your children is no better. You vote to maximize aggregate flourishing, or you're doing it wrong.

@AliceFromQueens It's because the city council remains neoliberal and is constraining him.

So many of you insisted to me that Mamdani would bring dysfunctional government, “communism,” higher crime, decarceration, capital flight, stores shutting down…
Will any of you learn a single thing from being completely wrong and kind of nasty about it?
No. You won’t.
Quick Thoughts@lthlnkso
Mamdani in NYC closed a lot of potholes in March. But, March is always a big month for pothole closures. Does the increased closure rate continue in April? Seems so. To find an April with more pothole closures you have to go back to 2017.

The vast majority of Americans under 50 fantasize about this every single hour tbh

@shivmalik Ironically France, long derided for its refusal to meaningfully cooperate with NATO, is best positioned as a geopolitical partner for the US bc it is the only euro power to have anything close to a navy and ready Air Force.
English
@shivmalik I don't get why euros think we are upset - as allies you have been useless bc you have exactly zero capacity to project power. You're only useful as an airbase. US Presidents since Eisenhower have been begging you to do exactly what are threatening to do and stop free riding

The headline says that the costs of Trump’s tantrums are “starting to show”. I don’t think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. It’s over. No one can trust the US. It’s not because of Trump. It’s because we know your system can’t/ won’t stop him or the next guy after him. And also that there’s enough of you who think it would be ‘cool’ to invade just to rub it in our faces. That’s a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.

In the United States, President Trump’s periodic insults hurled toward allies get treated as routine tantrums. But in those countries, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…
English
@Linahuaa @levijeans77 you're right that Europeans aren't the most of any of those categories. What they are is the second-best at everything - warfare, planning, sex, art, agriculture, technology, civilization, exploration, risk-taking - and that makes them global leaders.

@levijeans77 Eroding away White ego is necessary for them to become the best version of themselves.

Grok says modern Whites and their ancestors weren't even close to being among the most advanced people for 90% of human history.
And remember- Grok is maximally truth seeking.
This is not about race war or the fact that Jews and Asians are smarter than Whites.
Or that Asians have been more innovative than Whites for 90% of recorded history.
Or that Jews win 20x more nobel prizes per capita than Whites.
Or that Blacks are much better at sex.
No, this is about being maximally truthseeking!

@yugopnik The humanitarian concern with land mines is that civilians will step on them after the conflict. And no country that will actually have to fight a war has agreed to ban land mines, which is why Poland withdrew from it now that Russia has signaled its return to wars of conquest
English
The only reason drone warfare isn’t treated like nerve gas or land mines under international law is because it isn’t the West’s sons dying from it. As soon as it’s not Ivans being blown to bits but Johns and Toms the “discussion on the ethics of drone warfare” will become a mainstream talking point.
WarRoom Archives@WarRoomArchives
Drone warfare has reached such a level that many fighters have lost hope of escaping or resisting. For example, the final strike on the barracks is terrifying.

@zaracrustra I’m not sure India is a great example because it’s a country full of so many different cultures
But yeah, we have a whole process through which you can become American. You can read all the statutes

You can literally become American though. We have a whole process for it.

If anyone from anywhere can 'become' American, then being American means nothing

@PotatoMcWhiskey That stat relies on Islamic extremism (protected solely by the left) as right wing. No right winger is calling to globalize the intifada.

90% of violent acts are committed by right ring individuals for right wing aims.
They claim the mantle of peace but are false, do not listen to their lies.
Skscartoon@skscartoon
The modern left has firmly established themselves as the ideology of violence and terrorism. They don't believe in conversation, reason, or civility; and unfortunately, I don't think they can be dealt with such.

@zaracrustra Arab is an ethnicity. Though it can be an identity and there were many Arab Jews. I don’t see your point here
I’m saying many immigrants ALREADY have absorbed American culture by the time the come to the U.S.

@AschleighJ @maiamindel @sunraysunray How is an unemployed ohioan going to afford to move to CA or NY? We need to bring jobs to Cleveland, not Cleveland to LA.

@maiamindel who wrote that? he's very right about the working class ; move!! @sunraysunray
English
@zaracrustra That’s true— by the time they move to the U.S. they’ve already been immersed in American culture for a while. But that doesn’t give them citizenship

@ninaturner Rural electrification is a classic example of a successful government effort. Dams are another. Public libraries. The problems arise when the process is corrupted by privatizers. I'm looking at you, health insurance.

@AccelCurious @Noahpinion Bioleninism, the Soviets picked the same dysgenic resentful losers to be NKVD commissars and played a pivotal role in the murder of over a million people.
English
@Noahpinion Are these antifa people cherry picked or do they just look like that? And if they just look like that, why?
English
Every conservative should seriously ask themselves this question.
No matter which answer you pick, it'll tell you something important about your own beliefs.

@Noahpinion Vivek is on record against having sleepovers or any fun at all in high school. He isn't part of our culture, he's skinsuiting. The mutants are American, a sad byproduct of a sadly debased American culture that's getting worse every day.
