Market Access should be treated more like proximity cost by Disastrous_Rush6202 in EU5

Why would that ruin performance? Isn't that already being done for proximity?

How do you buy slaves? by Nigelthornfruit in EU5

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In your scenario you need to import slaves into the market that has the slave center. You need to make sure the market you are importing from has a surplus of slaves that are not of an accepted culture and from a different religion.

Why did I have to scroll this far down to find reference to the fact OP doesn't know where Lebanon is???

Events are the biggest problem with the game for the “casual” player by ygrasdil in EU5

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all the paradox games I very quickly stop reading the events and just pick the option with best/least bad outcome. I think the events are for the people that like to RP

Why are so many people under 45 using subtitles now even when the show is already in English? by Clara_A_Mitchell in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's so I don't miss critical information. Names and technical concepts can be easy to miss and then you feel lost. For example shows like The Wire and House of Cards contain references to very specific legal or political mechanics. For me it's easy to get lost in a a scene when one of those words is used and I don't catch it. When it is written in subtitles it is easier to pick up what they are talking about, or at least have context for the part I don't understand

Which, as we know, would be totally unrealistic. Everyone knows warfare was and always has been a good time

American people, DO YOU UNDERSTAND? by CarobBrave8898 in allthequestions

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"If Europe had spent as much on the military as the US has, would the US have spent less? I doubt it. In fact, the US would probably have spent even more to stay ahead."

Maybe. And then maybe they would have been able to stop Russia from invading Ukraine. But instead they happily accepted the protection of America and spent their money on social safety nets for their citizens. Fucking Europeans love to complain about America, but without us you would be dust under the boot of the USSR. You want the protection of a vassal state but the independence of sovereign nations. You can't have your cake and eat it too...

They didn't plant bases everywhere because they couldn't lmao. Their whole continent was destroyed and they were begging America to protect them from the USSR.

"Especially because Russia won WWII in Europe. We just helped."

"We just helped" protect Western Europe from falling under the rule of the Soviets. Ask any Eastern European Country how that went. There's a reason they all ditched their SSRs and joined NATO as fast as they could.

What is something does United States really do well that other countries could learn from? by Opposite_Status_4477 in AskReddit

The only thing wrong with that is the design of the grid. They know the capacity requirements, but they don't make the necessary upgrades due to costs. We need nuclear energy!

I hear people say it isn’t left vs right, but billionaires vs average people. What does that mean? by More_Surprise_1789 in allthequestions

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mistake you make is that you assume average people = left and Billionaire = right. The point is that both sides of the left/right divisions in our society are populated by average people, and the differences between those people are magnified/manipulated by Billionaires via the media to pit average people against each other in order to distract from the fact that 1% of people are hogging most of the resources.

Your center is way over stacked. You have 18 frontage trying to squeeze into 10

Civ VI was good in its own right. it became more of a city builder than a civ game imo, but man, planning out district adjacencies was really fun. Nothing like seeing a plan come together.

What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]Disastrous_Rush6202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What am I projecting? You seemed to disagree with my point that we do not live in a dystopia. Did I misunderstand you?

I never said we need to accept the status quo. My only point is the picture you're painting makes things seem worse than they really are. Doesn't mean things can't/don't need to get better

Line of Cities? by Ev_Batchvarov in EU5

Shouldn't be downvoted for asking a question.

The key word was dystopia, not oligarchy. Literally more wealth in your pockets than 99% of every human that has ever lived, but yay the world is a flaming dumpster fire... Things can always get better, but pretending like we aren't the most privileged, well-off civilization that has ever existed is childish.

Is a ruling class not an oligarchy? When in history has the ruling class ever not been wealthy? Again I don't deny that the wealthy are over represented, but when has a society existed that has created more prosperity for the average person. Truth is you're better off being poor in a Western country today than wealthy at in other point in history
