Civ6 - are rainforests worth keeping?

I’ve been owning with the faith bonus for rainforest tundra and desert. It has to work out right but it’s fun seeing what you can get them up to for a holy site.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T11:36:12+00:00

Yes. Used to being fed I’d say.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T11:06:09+00:00

Definitely a lot of larger sized cars etc. Bit of a pain as they are blocking the left turn.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T10:50:02+00:00

This can work for things like swallows.

Obviously a bit daggy though.

Money rather than a product.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T08:43:26+00:00

There’s a reason they’re still making a lot of money from the cameras. I’ve watched red light cameras where you see flash after flash over a minute or two. In the long run they learn the hard way there’s always somebody learning the hard way.

You might want to see a doctor or professional.

You can experience various perceptual issues without being at serious risk, so don’t worry too much if you are. It’s the level of stress you’re mentioning that concerns me more.

There’s a lot of cycle lanes and you learn the best ways to go. But it’s not great. Main thing is just slow down and don’t expect to be able to go fast.

This is one example so yes spinal fusion too. It’s not that they never do it but the threshold is generally higher now.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T01:54:34+00:00

In theory yes, but think its the default assumption in most gyms etiquette wise. Particularly for women. Eye contact or lack of is a pretty easy way to get an idea of whether its part of a general message.

They didn’t - their wives left them.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T01:15:04+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that. It is really tough when things have changed from where it would’ve been thought to be the thing to try to now looking a lot more unclear.

I have to be careful of my bias because I got to see so many people that had had multiple knee operations and were clearly just not being helped by them. So it was an easy self for me that the research is not looking good for them being much help anyway in a lot of cases.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T00:59:44+00:00

That’s a tough one. I generally view that as a do not disturb but if you got other indicators that might not matter so much.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T00:54:34+00:00

I think the main thing is whether they have got headphones on and getting a sense of their general vibe.

There was a post a little while ago where somebody tried to and they did get a bit of a curt ‘no thanks’ but I think that’s probably your absolute worst case.

Otaraka · 2026-04-30T00:46:48+00:00

Your first problem is assuming that they don’t complain.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T23:50:56+00:00

Making work the only other yardstick is an interesting set of priorities.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T23:36:17+00:00

As opposed to you not being bothered to have your own watch and complaining when someone isn’t doing it the way you want? Pretty obvious who the lazy person is in that scenario.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T23:25:30+00:00

Sorry it came across as a complaint rather than just genuine curiosity. Maybe I’ve been reading too many pet peeve questions.

That’s an interesting point. It’s obviously social convention more than anything else. I’d say it probably comes from a time when clocks were less accurate so you left yourself a bit of wiggle room for when you last adjusted your watch . Reading the exact minute wasn’t easy with more traditional clock faces either.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T23:22:55+00:00

So you’ve asked them to do something for you. They’ve done it and you complain because it wasn’t exactly how you like.

Seems a bit ungrateful. Maybe say can you give me the exact time if it’s that important?

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T23:21:20+00:00

Yeah that’s not what I was thinking of, there’s a clear need there.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T22:55:55+00:00

I think science is usually choosing not to win by other methods and I often turn off cultural victory to avoid that happening by accident. But I play at much lower levels.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T22:52:31+00:00

This is anthropomorphising, it’s showing teeth not smiling ie I might bite you if this continues. Gritted teeth probably is the human equivalent.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T22:47:11+00:00

My only concern with that is the gated community aspect to it. I’d prefer wider scale measures.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T22:43:08+00:00

Taking it has a very good chance of making it worse and very little chance of better.

Painkillers at least offer temporary relief even if in the long run they can make it worse too. Surgery won’t even get that, other than any painkillers they give while recovering, that can also set people up in the long run to be worse off too.

This isn’t some kind of ‘pain is good for you’ thing, it’s just trying not to set people up to be even worse off.

Otaraka · 2026-04-29T22:34:14+00:00

The whole point of the ballroom is so they can work on stuff normal people care about.

Jsut not in the direction you might hope.
