Is anybody concerned about becoming unemployable one day? I'm applying for a fintech role which will require being fingerprinted. I'm worried that they'll be able to see my past OE history through my SSN during the background check.

This got me thinking that maybe one day all companies will be able to access that level of employment history, which would effectively blacklist all of us from the field. Anybody share that concern or am I being dramatic?

The recent changes to naval gameplay are good and a net positive on the game. One thing that I think could still use improvement is movement over oceans.

An idea I had for this during a recent game was the addition of ocean currents to create "fastlanes" that you can discover in the ocean and fight to control during the exploration age and beyond. These would increase movement speed across ocean tiles, or maybe just reduce/remove the movement penalty. They could be indicated visually by moving water on the map surface and might only function in one direction per current to add some strategic depth and realism.

This adds a strategic layer to the gameplay and I think a cool mechanic. Figure

Am I crazy to think that a3 doesn't work here? Surely it's just Qxb2 with a fork on rook and knight?

As the title implies, use a dedicated board for chopping peppers, especially super hots. Chopped some reapers on my nice board and now everything I chop is hot 😅. I don't mind so much - spicy fruit is pretty good actually - but you might!

High. Just sub optimal city building and staring at how beautiful things are. Then scrambling to defend your territory with underrated units and/or no army. On deity. It's a lot of fun, give it a shot.

I've always loved this song as it speaks to a lot of what I believe and hope for (and against) in the world. Been down on the state of the world and this song has been a comfort in some ways. Wanted to submit a verse I wrote for the song that felt fitting. Hope someone likes it.

"In Canada, the great canal, and Greenland's quite shores

A looming shadow rises, one which all the world abhors

Old friends look on nervously as the jackboot turns their way

Watching greed and lies trump peace and love on a cool November day

We all thought it could never happen

In the good ol' USA"
