Could not find the original post on Twitter.

Mmmmmm... I'm a little on the fence about this. I won't go so far as to say "white silence = violence," I think that's a bit much. If that's the case, we're all guilty of some sort of violence. Male silence = violence. American silence about the Taliban = violence. It's a ridiculous. But then again, when do you have to take responsibility? At what point were the Germans responsible for the Holocaust? There were plenty of people not turning in Jews, just trying to live their lives likes the rest of us. After a nine-hour work day, are you really in the mood to start protesting the plight of the Jews, an action that could possibly get you and your family disappeared?

There's that famous poem by Martin Niemöller: First they came for so-and-so, and I did nothing. Then they came for me. Yeah, he has a valid point. But I'm not going to be angry at those who did nothing either. There are tons of groups that are being persecuted: women, minorities, homosexuals, Christians under ISIS, Muslims living in Myanmar, Gypsies in France... It's impossible to speak out for everyone. And sometimes we're really fucking busy just being alive. Yeah, in a perfect world instead of coming home from a long day and sitting down in from of the TV to relax, you would try to stop these problems. But then again, in a perfect world these wouldn't be a problem to begin with. So yeah, I think we all probably should do more to chip in, but I'm not going to blame you so much if you don't.

I seriously get thrown off whenever I see yaoi on a hentai site. Like, in between all the titties and tentacles suddenly I'm seeing two dudes going at it. That's great and all, but I'm not here for that right now. Who is posting these too? Why would you think this is a good idea?

I literally cannot stop laughing each time I watch this. I had to lie down at some point.

My college experience

To be honest after Bronx Science I found college to be really easy. Classes happened, what, twice a week? That was plenty of time to do my homework and prepare. In fact I made a schedule: classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I'd go to the library on Sunday and Wednesday and do all my homework then so I could go home and play video games every other day of the week. Compare that to Bronx Science, where we spent about seven hours a day in six to eight classes, then you're expected to go home after that and do work for each of those. On top of that there are after school activities or chores... yeah, when I see people whining about how hard college is, I think you're all pussies.

Then again, I guess if you couldn't handle taking the test to get in, college probably would be hard.

With Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord, the left has staked the higher ground with science. How could Republicans just ignore what scientists are telling them? Yeah, I agree it's pretty insane. But you know what else is insane? The anti-vaxx movement, and its proponents tend to be liberal. Oh, those are just white hippies who don't know better? Fat liberals are also starting to state it isn't a problem, many of whom are POC. Saying you're big and proud is one thing, saying a doctor is wrong when he points out you're at a high risk of diabetes is another. I'll admit the right's obstinacy toward global warming is larger and more focused, but the idiots aren't just on one side.

Civ VI is a completely different animal. Before you could build anything you wanted in a city: You need a bank, just click on that and it'll take so many turns. Taking too long? Then build a factory so your production output would rise. Instead in VI you first have to build a district outside of the city. Need a bank? Well, first make sure that financial district is up and running. Fuck, that's taking too long? Well, if you want that factory you need that industrial district. This slows down the player severely. A bank before took, what, fifteen turns? Now I've gotta waste like thirty or fifty first just making this district before I even get to the bank.

I'm not having as much fun as a consequence. Like, when I first got the demo for Civ V I was completely addicted. I played those 100 turns over and over, knowing I was completely fucked. But it's not the same with VI. Oh, I'm enjoying myself, but it's not that same type of passion. Maybe I just have improve my technique and get my groove, and then I'll be dominating.

If there is one true flaw, I'd say it's the workers. In literally every Civ game I've played, you build a worker and he'll work until the end of eternity unless he gets killed by an enemy unit. Now he'll just... disappear after four or so turns. Why. Why. Why. I'm already slowed down making these districts, I don't have fucking time to create a town that's literally just a worker factory. It's like that Breath of the Wild durability bullshit. It isn't fun, it's just stupid, why would you add this to a game series that already had a system that works? And it doesn't make any sense. Who in real life would die after constructing three farms?

How the fuck do people chop food so quickly? I need to take a goddamned class on this bullshit.
