2 expansions, 6 Frontier Pass Packs, 6 leader packs, scenario DLCs, leader DLCs. There's a lot more than just Gathering Storm and Rise & Fall.

Domination victory is literally one of the victoru conditions of Civ 6. You're allowed to go full steamroll and go to war with everyone. Some of the civs are focused on going to war and expanding quickly through warfare like the Aztecs. Just don't be surprised when you keep attacking other civs and the other players use the other diplomatic strategies to their advantage.

I'm Civ it's also important to know how the other players perceive you and how to manipulate that perception to your advantage. Manufacture Casus Belli, poke and prod until others make the first attack and you "defend" yourself by taking their cities. You'll be less of a warmonger.

And it's not even a good search engine either. It just spits out sarcastic jokes from barely up voted reddit posts.

I'm pretty sure the autocorrect ducking with fowl language is because it has those words specifically marked not to come up in autocorrect, because kids do also use phones too and that would be enough to cause enough of a stink that no company wants to deal with it.

Apologies that leftists aren't too much of cowards to hide behind talking heads promoting stochastic terrorism. I mean it's not like leftists lying about what operations are being performed at hospitals led to bomb threats being called in or riling people up calling for trial by combat and needing to fight like he'll moments before people violently entered the capitol building. Or constantly threaten to run over protesters, and many times actually do.

I could spend more time looking up and pointing out all the right wing violence, but asymmetric bullshit principle and all that. Fuck off, progressive and left leaning people are tired of the double standard when it comes to political violence.

Consent is the cornerstone of BDSM and ideally any kind of power exchange is discussed beforehand and freely agreed upon by all parties involved.

It's a lot. Like a lot a lot. GPUs have about 150 billion transistors but those transistors only make 1 connection in what is essentially printed in a 2d space on silicon.

Each neuron makes dozens of connections, and there's on the order of almost 100 billion neurons in a blobby lump of fat and neurons that takes up 3d space. And then combine the fact that multiple neurons in patterns firing is how everything actually functions and you have such absurdly high number of potential for how powerful human brains are.

At this point, I'm not sure there's enough gpus in the world to mimic what a human brain can do.

It's just how basic demographics analysis works. There's a lot more people who are struggling with mental health problems/mental disabilities that make them more prone to believing scams. And so many games and storefronts use dark patters to make it extremely easy to make undesired purchases or have no safeguards to prevent children from using their parents credit card for purchases.

All these kinds of people vastly outnumber dumb finance bros on their yachts making stupid money decisions.

people violating your trust?

Implying any of us are equivalent to a $1.5 trillion social media monopoly that has more political and social power than any other organization on the planet. Sure Jan, any one of us is exactly like that.

The severity of punishment does not match the severity of violating the policy. We've already figured this idea out in real life and across numerous genres of fiction that at this point is a common trope. It's literally a sci-fi trope at this point of the paradise planet that everyone loves but the biggest flaw is that any infraction against the law however minor is tje death penalty. The concept of fair punishments is literally baked into the constitution through the bill of rights with the 8th amendment, no cruel and unusual punishments, no excessive bail or excessive fines.

https://www.copyright.gov/what-is-copyright/

Read up on how exactly copyright works, as soon as you fix a work in a tangible and communicable form, you have a copyright to it. Taking a nude photo of yourself gives you the exclusove copyright of that photo. Taking a tourist photo does give you copyright to that specific photo, but also doesn't necessarily supercede another existing copyright if that photo is of something else that already had a copyright.

And depending on jurisdictions, your tourist photos might not be fine. For example, in France, they have very strict privacy laws and copyright enforcement, the Eiffel Tower might be public domain, but the light installation is still under copyright. And any modern buildings designed by an architect who died within the last 70 years is still protected by copyright. And on the privacy front, accidentally taking pictures of other people even in tourist areas could actually open you up to a lawsuit, but nobody's actually tried that yet so it's up in the air whether it would hold up.
