  • I played some 4, but like 6 a lot more personally. A lot of folks still prefer 4. 5 I think feels like the worst of both worlds or a stepping stone from one to the other. The big thing I like about 6 is that citizens actually have to travel to buildings to work or use services.

    In Tropico 4/5, a clinic may have a capacity of 200, so if your population is 350 you need two clinics placed anywhere, which I think makes city planning a little boring because you could just have a clinic corner where you build all your clinics as needed. In 6 a clinic has 8 visitor slots, and when a citizen needs healthcare they claim a slot and physically walk or transit across the map, enter the clinic, then spend some time there before leaving and freeing the slot up. This means you could build a couple clinics far away from each other so citizens have less distance to travel to the nearest clinic, or you could have one in your population center, but invest in making that building high quality so when a citizen leaves with a higher healthcare value it takes longer before they need to visit again, reducing the overall demand and making the visitor slots go farther.

    It lends itself toward building actual neighborhoods where they are needed which I like!

  • Others have mentioned Tropico, but I like talking about Tropico so I recommend Tropico 6. Campaign missions have unique goals and conditions that can lead to interesting decisions, like the one where you can’t build houses, everyone lives in shacks, and I ended up going a dictator direction just to keep the populace in line.

    Traffic is easy to manage, just don’t make four-way intersections (seriously, that’s it). Building choice and location are important because citizens have to travel from one place to another, so even if your clinic isn’t overwhelmed it may be good to build another far away so citizens don’t have to travel across the entire island to get there.

    I could go on for a while, but it’s good, and Tropico 7 is coming out later this year so Tropico 6 will likely be pretty cheap next time it goes on sale.

  • Reminds me of a scene in the book 1632 where a group of women and children hide in a latrine to avoid being found by soldiers.

  • Is that why they’re trying to restrict birth control and sex education while saying people need to have more kids, so there will be fewer poor people?

  • I like this one because whichever half of the sentence annoys you more is going to be the answer to the question of which is worse.

    Personally, I think it’s more annoying to read the “I don’t care” half than the “I don’t know” half, which informs me that I think that not caring is worse. From there I extrapolate that not knowing is something that others can help fix, but not caring isn’t really.

  • That’s when you say “jumping back a minute to subject X for a bit,” then say what you wanted to say. If it spurs further conversation on that subject, great. Otherwise you still leave an opportunity for the conversation to go back to where it had already gone.

    Huh? Whatever.

  • Oh man, I hadn’t even considered the balance. That only adds to the impressiveness!

  • the texture is no better than when it was taken out of the package.

    It's tough to improve on perfection!

  • I hope this is constructive, it may also help to rotate/tilt the r ~10 degrees clockwise to give it a little extra space from the u, as well as make the shape more distinct.

  • This doesn't have anything to do with anything, but when I first glanced at the thumbnail on my phone, I thought it was the characters Beth and Summer Smith from Rick and Morty looking away from the camera at a cliffside view. The treetops kinda looked like their hair.

  • Looking over the Saturday morning cartoons I grew up with:

    The Batman

    Xiaolin Showdown (this I remember the most fondly)

    Johnny Test (It’s the epitome of Saturday morning cartoons, most engraved in my brain, probably bad actually)

    Spider Riders (just for the opening song)

  • Since you’ve only been told that you’re wrong, and I was also under the impression that there was a lot of junk DNA in our genome, I did a little digging and found this article that explains the progression of our understanding pretty well: https://www.sciencenewstoday.org/human-dna-98-of-your-genetic-code-is-junk-or-is-it

    The TLDR is that the original junk DNA hypothesis is based on the fact that only ~2% of DNA is actually used in mapping out protein-construction. That was generally supported by the science from the 70’s to the early 2000’s. What scientists have found in the decades since then is that a lot of what DNA does involves regulating activity in the cell and responding to changing circumstances.

  • To add onto this, an ideology is an ideal to be strived toward, not a goal to be jumped to.

  • The first thing I remember learning in philosophy 101 is the principle of charity, which has been eternally useful during discussion:

    1. Assume the other person has something worth saying
    2. Questions of meaning come before questions of truth
