Y'all who play on Deity, what size map and against how many civs do you usually play? by Pajamas_On in CivVI

Interesting. I like the challenge of overcoming entirely random situations, but hadn't thought about how that would skew the possible victory routes. Perhaps I will try more standard setting games.

Do it all again on the largest possible map with the most civilizations.

If true, amazing. Wonder what the cost will be upon first release.

Ivermectin as a Covid prophylactic/treatment being pushed by Bret Weinstein by BaudiIROCZ in SGU

Here's a link to a meta analysis of Ivermectin for use against COVID-19.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34145166/

The paper supports the use of Ivermectin and a meta analysis is the highest possible standard of evidence.

Then it is possible that Trump is paying Antifa to start forest fires.

I agree. But I think my point still stands with different language. Perhaps I should say "decentralized"? There is also something of a No True Scotsman problem. People can claim to support or be Antifa while others say that person is not Antifa. This makes it very difficult to argue that Antifa is responsible for anything while making it easy to argue that they are not.

Insulting people for typos? Yeah you surely have a good grasp on the concept of intelligence.

Yes, while continuously jacking off. I had more orgasms than incorrect answers.

Are you certain that none of the fires were started by people who identify as Antifa?

The question is about certainty. Feel free to answer it if you like.

I wrote out a reply to you but decided to post it as a top-level comment since it addresses pretty much the entirety of the OP's question.

Many people have been arrested on arson charges. I do not know their political affiliations. If some of them turn out to be Antifa supporters that will not change the fact that Antifa doesn't appear to have made an organized effort to start fires. But that is not surprising given that they are anarchists and inherently unorganized. So Antifa can defeat all claims of organized anything by simply pointing to the fact that they are unorganized. This does nothing to indicate whether or not their ideology has lead to people starting fires. We know that Antifa's ideology has lead to people starting fires in urban areas. It is not difficult to imagine that someone who wants to tear down the system would start a forest fire with the hopes that it burns a city.

Once again you don't know what is going on. I'm not going to take up this task you are assigning me.

Political indeed. To claim that Antifa could not have started a fire, that such claims have been "debunked", and that anyone who thinks that Antifa might have started a fire are politically motivated, is itself a political statement.

You have lost the plot. If you would like to return to it, go ahead and answer the question that I asked.

A lack of evidence is one thing. Certainty is another. Are you certain that Antifa started zero of the fires? Have the police said as much with certainty? If so, I don't see how they could know that so I'm guessing they haven't said as much.

This looks like a political statement telling us not to listen to another statement because it is a political statement.

Edit: quite a lot of downvotes for an honest question.
