What I’m referring to is youth fiction but I remember them fondly

Magik by Angie Sage. Though truth be told that’s a 5th book revelation

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable for magic

We are discussing biological sex as in the parts we are not discussing gender.

Couple of fun facts about this :

so God themself while referred to in English as a he refers to themselves as ’ I am ’ technically I think we should be using they them pronouns but English was traditionally a gendered language.

Jesus on the other hand 100% had a dick. Whether he kept that or not, post ascension that’s up for interpretation but Jesus was 100% biologically male.

In chemistry, you’ll find the dose is the most important factor. Also, I don’t think it would be possible to super saturate your body with carbon dioxide or monoxide even if you purposely ingested something and then reacted it to break it down into those gases internally. I’m certain you would increase the concentration in your blood, but your lungs have far more surface area and tissue dedicated to gas exchange then your guts do. You would probably have terrible bouts of gas from both ends though.

I think you guys are missing the fact that I’m deliberately sabotaging whoever was the leading science civ and making the other civs crush them from classic age onwards. Whoever became the new science King was soon dethroned.

Pretty hard to win if your three main cities get raised to the ground or absorbed and you get effectively removed from the game.

I was basically balkanizing the map.

I’m pretty sure I ended it with 25 cities and roughly 500 to 600 science per turn output. Just because there’s an established way to play doesn’t mean that you can’t find alternative paths with the proper civ.

I think you’re missing my point because I knocked out a science civ with pure gold and warfare and then switched my focus to science and outscienced a science civ.

Most people go tall or wide. I go wide and tall. It takes a very long time but once I get production ramped up I am literally unstoppable. It’s just a matter of time. Cities can easily accommodate a population of 20 with internal happiness at that age.

This immediately puts me at war with every single non city state NPC. However, I am an Island fortress and 2/3 of my GDP is generated from intercity trade among my own cities and the tree between my civilization and the city states that dotted in my territory. (Did you know you can upgrade their tiles for them). The last third of my income comes from direct trade with two other human players. I immediately deployed my Navy to secure safe travel for my cargos between those ports. Due to the fact that the other human that’s winning is an Atlantic Ocean away from me and that I am on paper still their Ally. However, I’m also the one that just initiated the surprise ai attack of most of the remaining ai against them. ( We were playing with 12 civs 24 city-states huge map and I’m pretty sure nine civs declared war at once). By the time my first naval ships made it to his shore escorting my trade shifts. He had already lost five cities and his civilization was in revolt due to unhappiness. By the time I landed my first troops, 10 turns later to start pushing back the attack and unconquering his land. I had also attained nuclear theory while he had been stalled the entire time due to unhappiness and revolts and The invasion. By the time I had reconquered his land, I was sending up the final pieces of the space station.

I was playing civ 5 with a few IRL friends over internet multiplayer. Victory types : religion scientific or political I had the largest economy by far but I was behind in tech. My military was decent. My religion was the third or fourth largest.

I had made a personal agreement through DM with one of the other human players and asked them if I could put a spy in their Capital and steal the techs they had acquired if I research agreed them. ( I was paying both halfs of the research agreement). By the time I had conquered my entire continent and extinguished the two annoying sivs that kept attacking me and neutered the other two into vassals (if you bring back an AI that another AI killed, they are very grateful to you). So as the year 1900 rolls around, I control 1/3 of the map landmass as territory under the work of my cities I cover the entirety of a large dorito shaped continent All of my cities are fully producing, have all buildings and are outputting massive amounts of GDP. However, one of the other human players has just researched nuclear theory and I’ve just figured out Great war infantry. I still have not caught up but I have made massive gains. I know I can’t close the distance at this rate though. I am in an open alliance with this player as I am buying the tech off them still. I’m probably sitting on $50,000 with a thousand s coming in every turn. I pay off every single NPC to attack them

Is this rhetorical? He’s an autocratic dictator who has purged competition is committing/ committed an invasion of his neighbors and trying to re-establish into Russian ethno State. What point are you trying to prove. clearly by the definitions that us random passers by to this comment section have understood he is a Nazi in the modern vernacular.

I hope you people downloading me realize that not pulling the lever in the trolley problem is a choice just as much as pulling the lever

Show me where I said that you were wrong. I have stated what I believe. I have called you descriptions of your attitude. I have expressed amusement that somebody who clearly does not believe in religion would enter uninvited into arguments from a false position of authority on the subject matter while you are very clearly not somebody who’s actually read it. If by chance you have actually read from the Torah, the Bible and the Quran, you clearly missed a lot. This is not an attack. I would implore you to work on your reading comprehension skills as they seem to be lacking. There’s a reason that you have to take humanities courses in college even if you’re going for a full stem career. It’s to help you become a more rounded person. One of my choice electives was religious studies. As you age, you’d be best to remember that nobody likes the annoying atheist it’s peak 4chan cringe. If you don’t believe in God, that’s your choice.

I’ve read your comment history your tone is repugnant and condesending. I do not believe that my definition of hostile and your definition of hostile can be reconciled if you think your comments are amicable.

I’m very open to discuss my beliefs but you have to ask instead of insult.

Have you ever considered that I do believe in a literal Jesus that lived and died. My personal interpretation is God an nth dimensional being fires up the sim known as our universe and has fun designing spacetime and life in our sim for a few billion years. Eventually he gets bored and wants more interactive NPCs. So then God decided to impart sapience via further evolution to our human ancestors. He gets frustrated with the NPCs and their weird primate behaviors and tries to do the authority figure bit, it fails. Makes a new plan become part human and live as a human to understand our perspective better. Immediately realizes how fucked his creation is once it is able to be experienced in our time based chemistry driven existence and absolves the whole sin thing.
