money is just a thing you can use to try and cover your ex's rent because she'd be terrible at being homeless and you feel somewhat responsible for pretending to want the things she wanted for years even though you never did but you were just too scared to leave her and instead wasted years of her life
"I have a date shortly" is my favorite [chat] announcement, second only to "I'm starting a new job tomorrow" - it's the best opportunity to give terrible advice. Which is my favorite thing to do.
I'm starting a new job as a fake-date escort tomorrow
every time i play civ i set out to be super ruthless emperor but then i don't want to hurt anyone so spend a century or two developing beautiful works of art
then someone invades me and i don't really understand the brutality of life all over again

Is like...all of the story progression still locked behind doing endless boring trade runs?
Like, are there just less boring trade runs now, or did they do away with them entirely now
It's a wonderful story and ambience but ain't nobody got time for that
You don't have to grind endlessly for stuff. You get more than enough just visiting ports and doing stuff.
Yeah, I'm just salty. Any of the sexy end game stuff takes forever. Fathomking's Hold, the Khans, Avid Horizon. I feel like I hit a content wall like 10-15 hours into a playthrough with gated content beyond.

if you played pre-full release you get the DLC for free so that's gotta make you feel better. give it a try.

Amy Hempel, “The Man in Bogota”
The police and emergency service people fail to make a dent. The voice of the pleading spouse does not have the hoped-for effect. The woman remains on the ledge – though not, she threatens, for long.
I imagine that I am the one who must talk the woman down. I see it, and it happens like this.
I tell the woman about a man in Bogota. He was a wealthy man, an industrialist who was kidnapped and held for ransom. It was not a TV drama; his wife could not call the bank and, in twenty-four hours, have one million dollars. It took months. The man had a heart condition, and the kidnappers had to keep the man alive.
Listen to this, I tell the woman on the ledge. His captors made him quit smoking. They changed his diet and made him exercise every day. They held him that way for three months.
When the ransom was paid and the man was released, his doctor looked him over. He found the man to be in excellent health. I tell the woman what the doctor said then – that the kidnap was the best thing to happen to that man.
Maybe this is not a come-down-from-the-ledge story. But I tell it with the thought that the woman on the ledge will ask herself a question, the question that occurred to that man in Bogota. He wondered how we know that what happens to us isn’t good.

John Green put up another excellent vid. This one is a remarkably even-handed look at the healthcare proposals of Trump and Clinton and how they stack up.
Also a good reminder, which I think some people round here need, that the ACA actually did some good and was better than the previous status quo despite it's limited scope.

Oh I mean I'm definitely one of the coolest things to happen to her lately, I just hope we don't collapse later because of big stuff.

I have a date in two hours. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
This should help you calm down. Please come back when you can afford to make a purchase. Your kids are starving. Carl's Jr. believes no child should go hungry. You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed in the custody of Carl's Jr. Carl's Jr... "Fuck You, I'm Eating."
