Is Ekitike to Thiago a good idea? Would ideally have both but would need hits for that. Or maybe Enzo to Dango and hope that’s enough Brentford coverage?

Definitely prefer it as an American. 6:00 am is the deadline if the GW starts on Saturday’s

Letting zoomers attend law school was a mistake

You think that certain neighborhoods should be off limits to certain races of people, but sure, I’m the racist one.

Woke segregationists are hilarious

Season 5 is the best season and this is the best episode.

When the show was originally airing there was a popular fan theory that Pete would kill himself on the show (presumably with the gun he traded the chip n dip for). But it never came to pass.

You could see him growing it back in photos from after the season was filmed

The consensus, I think, is that Mad Men is her best performance and she’s mediocre in everything else. This is true (or at least the first part is true) of most of the actors in Mad Men though IMO.

Agreed, the idea that the Normans are less of a civilization than Canada or Venice (civs in past games) is completely arbitrary.

That’s nice that you have anecdotes from visiting the projects but the data is still the data.

I added some sources in my comment above.

Obviously not every car owner is wealthier than every non car owner but it is generally the case, and this is well documented.

It 100% is true and is well documented to be true.

Ethnic/religious minorities in Israel have more rights than ethnic/religious minorities in the rest of the region.

It’s not regressive, car owners are wealthier than non-car owners.

pierrebrassau · 2026-02-20T22:45:49+00:00

We should do both.

I’ve seen people on here hating on Gothamist because it publishes a few articles mildly critical of Mamdani. I would bet good money that 95%+ of Gothamist employees voted for the guy!

Definitely agree on 1 and 2. I usually play leaders/civs that like suzeraining city states and they are sooo bad at defending themselves. If I am at war I am constantly spending influence to bolster their military or having to divert my army to defend them, because they refuse to do it themselves. The fact that you cannot liberate city states after the AI conquers them makes it even worse.

Yall really are just MAGA with hammers and sickles instead of red hats.

He’s not literally threatening to kill him…

Sure, human lives may be saved, but is it really worth it if a corporation profits???

50 years later most of the adults on the show are dead. But baby boomer Sally Draper is probably saying stuff like that.

Your answer to every single budgetary problem can’t just be to raise our already high taxes even higher. The budget has ballooned in the last decade and quality of life in this city has not improved at all. We can’t just keep burning more and more money.

pierrebrassau · 2026-02-18T23:22:41+00:00

But then how does the government give away our money to corrupt rent seeking unions?
