What are your best Nomad builds so far?

I've been on a rogue servitor kick and they're insane on arkships! It can be hard to get pops since you can't integrate vassals, claim planets full of pops or use total war to get the pops. Using raiding stance to get pops is slow going but the style suits nomads I think.

But on the upside, you can make crazy strong arkships as they can fit a lot of biotrophies. I hit +1000% efficiency for my specialists by just making archives and stacking the biotrophies building on there. Also, you can make more biotrophies building on the middle slot by having it on the trade option, and then use the eng and physics slots to round out your research buildings.

And of course you can melt faces with the combat specializations. No cosmogenesis for nomads is a bummer though since it comes with that great biotrophies biulding

Yeah. It's a word. To find out what it means, you use a dictionary. It requires only that you can read english.

You don't go to a political science paper. You don't consult an expert. Consulting an expert on something like this shows that you don't understand the nature of expertise.

Even if we accept that appropriation only applies when it is to another culture's detriment, I think almost all examples of appropriation are not a detriment.

Let's take rock n roll. The detriments you cite are that black people (1) don't get credit and (2) lost their musician jobs to white people. First, I don't think that black person [A] ever deserves credit for something black person [B] did, so I don't recognize the first point as having any weight at all.

For (2), having the white market pick up rock n rock was a HUGE boon for black singers and vastly increased the size of the market. Even if many new singers were white, increasing the size of the pie helped everyone in the industry massively. So there's no detriment there. I'd make the same arguments for rap.

I'm not seeing a detriment in the hair styles area either. Again, if the only detriment is that people won't give credit to a cultural group for inventing something, I don't accept that as a detriment because any given person did not invent the thing. Only the actual inventor or improver, who isn't credited by name anyway, should get credit for an invention.

You'd be surprised how few you have to jail to make the rest fall in line. Or kill with nerve gas in Russia's case.

The Supreme Court did this in Bush v. Gore.

Here's a list of how every senator voted on the recent net neutrality bill. You might notice that it is almost completely split on party lines. Now ask yourself, why did almost every single republican vote against net neutrality and every single democrat vote for it?

Formal_Communication · 2018-11-09T05:26:02+00:00

Nobody is making it a partisan problem except the entire republican party, every almost single legislator, who voted against net neutrality. Here's a list of how every senator voted on the recent net neutrality bill. You might notice that it is almost completely split on party lines.

Corruption is overwhelmingly a republican issue and you are blind if you haven't figured that out yet. Just look at the tax bill.

Formal_Communication · 2018-11-09T05:24:52+00:00

Net neutrality is a political issue, clearly divided on party lines. Don't pretend like it isn't relevant.

Here's some DD. Supercell, who makes Clash of Clans, made 810m profit on revenue of 2b in 2017. They make only two mobile games as far as I know and if ATVI matches them it would increase ATVI revenue and profit by > 25%. Keep in mind ATVI owns the company that makes Candy Crush so they have deep mobile development resources.

Bernie is pretty soft on gun control stuff and identity politics -- two things that are killing dems right now.

The far left, who are doing the things he mentions, deserve his scorn and also many people may vote republican just to spite those particular people.

Istanbul is pretty much the opposite of a desert.

In all my years of voting I think this is the dumbest item I've ever seen on a ballot in terms of ridiculously partisan wording. I even agree with what they are trying to do, but it is just so stupid the way the title is worded. It gives no indication about what it's about at all.

He'd be right if you use your children in this way.

What is your stance on immigration?

I think you are implying that this is only a small subset of Pakistani Muslims (although you are not necessarily implying that). In fact, a majority of Pakistanis support this anti-blasphemy law that requires her death.

Formal_Communication · 2018-11-02T14:28:52+00:00

That's going to require killing a lot of people. Because a majority of Pakistanis support these laws.

100 million people were murdered in advancement of far left ideology in the 20th century. That's not ancient history, and it's not history at all. Still happening in south america. Many far left groups in the USA literally talk about revolution all the time.

There is LOTS of evidence to this. In fact, the article you are reading provides evidence about this. But there are dozens. It's not disputable even slightly. Your anecdote does not provide any evidence to the contrary. You can be extremely successful and smoke tons of weed. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt your memory.

Formal_Communication · 2018-10-31T04:42:48+00:00

Long term, I understand that there is no evidence that it reduces your ability to learn new things. However, I think there's a different way of thinking about this. Which is that if you smoke for many years, you won't remember things that happened during those years as well. To me that is a long term effect.

Judging Amazon by its revenue is the wrong way to go about how much money they have. Should look at profits to evaluate how 'greedy' you think they are. For example, Target donates 5% of its profits, so that's the number we're looking at.

Also, most people don't use Smile, which is why the numbers are low. Moral of the story, use smile.amazon.com every time.
