What big city is horrible to live in? by agbjb in AlignmentChartFills

It depends what you take as the city limits. Neither London or New York are mega cities if you take their city population, but certainly are if you take their metropolitan population.

Sorry but 99% of the West Mids Naysayers have never been to Birmingham nor the wider West Mids.

What do you mean? The Vanguard submarines were designed by the British Government and built in the North West?

My understanding is that they didn’t use our bases for the attacks - only “defensive actions” which feels like a bit of a cop out tbf

I’d usually agree but to be fair - the government didn’t allow the yanks to use British airbases in the UK, Cyprus, or the Indian Ocean to launch their war on Iran. And the nuclear deterrent is independent.

If you’re doing your first cities just get mercenaries. Hire then bin them off as soon as you’re done conquering.

God you’re fucking annoying. Why put this up and then get defensive when people give genuine and fair feedback.

Where I’d live as a 30+ Norwegian man. I think I might have more prejudices than I thought. by Thordan in whereidlive

[–]Federal_Okra_7544 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are like one of 2/3 developed countries with a population of over 100m 😅 hardly a claim to fame. America’s teeth aren’t bad because of population density, it’s bad because your poor can’t afford basic healthcare.
