I dipped back into Civilization 5 again recently. For the first time in a playthrough I asked another civ to go to war with me against another and they actually said "yup let's do it."

We crushed Genghis Khan together. I took his capital, liberated the city states for the alliances/negating warmongering penalties, and left him with a single landlocked city. I warned you not to touch Sydney, you butt.

Now you're thinking with portals

I'm in agreement that The Moon and Antarctica is the peak album, but I feel Good News is a great representation of the band transcending into something brand new rather than just fizzling. It's Iike going out with a bang. Then after that it feels like fizzle haha.

I would probably have hated Good News if I had followed them before it came out, but it has a great representation of rebirth and becoming an unapologetically new person. I return to it usually when I go through loss.

I upvote if I think it's a valuable, earnest, or funny/clever statement. I only downvote if it is completely irrelevant or rudely disruptive for discussion.

I think it's good to think twice before downvoting. If it's a point of view that you despise or behavior that you can't stand, it might be better for the public to see how that is handled in a forum (through words). Why try to push it away from sight when you could instead demonstrate to other viewers how to help a dummy out?

However you choose to vote and how often, don't stress about it too much
