I've played a lot of 4X games but my favourite is definitely Europa Universalis IV. It's very different to CIV though. Unlike Civ, you have to pick an existing kingdom/nation the difficulty of the game will depend on the nation you pick (it's not artificially set like the game modes in Civ, but...

I only type with the index and middle fingers of my two hands but I've done it so often for so long I can type somewhat fast like that too. I managed to get 92 WPM with an accuracy of 97% using the test but I was trying much harder than I usually would so I'd say my WPM is usually more in the...

What's your name? KetsuekiR (Ketsu) Which era did you grow up in? The 2000s. Favorite toy(s) as a child? I used to have this unbranded (probably bootlegged) firetruck when I was really small. I loved it a ton. When I was a teenager, we gave away all the toys me and my sibling used to play with...

Again, forcing the kid to move to get the same opportunities directly violates the right to equal opportunity (which absolutely is something the government should be protecting). As for private vs. public - it doesn't matter. If there are only two schools in the area, protecting the kid and...

I'm ignoring points 1 through 6 because I want to look at point 7 specifically because I think it's something worth discussing (especially with the semi-recent Karen Pence matter) when talking about separation of Church and State. Let's say there's a kid looking to go to school. They're...

By talking about all the things I'd do if the world is ending in a day.

That's fair, but I disagree that it's him being smart. Staying on fence here, especially refusing to denounce someone like Maduro to do so, is going to hurt him, not help him.

You asked the question of, "why should Bernie have an opinion if his opinion wouldn't affect Venezuela?". That was why. Now let's talk about what he's said. His stance, at least to me, seems to be a non-interventionist one, which is great. That doesn't mean he can't condemn Maduro. Of course...

You're focusing on the wrong section of my response but avoiding going off topic, it's still a major political crisis, whether or not you agree with me on that it's the biggest right now. A presidential candidate needs to have an opinion on it because a president needs to have an opinion on it.

I don't understand what your point is. He's running for President. His view on what is pretty much the biggest political crisis in the world right now is going to be a very important factor on whether he would make a good one.

I agree with the first half of this but not so much the second half. The argument on the pledge seems to be either "it's brainwashing" or "it does nothing cus the kids don't care for it". Both points of view support getting rid of it. The national anthem at sporting events is a different case...

So... what is the system in the US where a capitalist system exists but there are regulations imposed by the government? You're thinking of a Laissez-faire capitalist system. It isn't the only option. If Nintendo had put a condition upon purchase that you weren't allowed to sell it to someone...

That's a strange strawman. I don't advocate for completely unregulated capitalism. That isn't the same as "admitting Capitalism is completely unrealistic". This isn't a new sanction either. Huawei was well aware of it and circumvented it, as evidence suggests, on purpose. It's not like the US...

On top of agreeing with GimmePie's points, again, the sanction applies to US components. Huawei is free to sell their own stuff at their leisure, but US-based companies are allowed to, at their government's request, put conditions on what is done with their products and how they are resold. The...

I think this criticism is unfair in this specific case. It wasn't a case of the US trying to tell Huawei where it can and cannot sell its own products. The sanction applies to US-made components and Huawei was well aware of this, and seemingly used a front (Skycom Tech) to circumvent the...
