I like the option to disable crises. Its not that I dislike them in general, but every crisis I hit seems tailored to screw me.

Like, I play expansion aggressive, and I get hit with the ‘unhappiness causes riots’ crisis. I play scientific and ignore religion, and I get the ‘foreign religion causes riots’ crisis. I try a low-military diplomatic game, the crisis is barbarian hordes.

I have never sent a dick pic solicited or unsolicited.

I just don't think most women are into them the way guys are into nudes.

Yes, I also have eye problems when I lie on my back watching my iPad (with stand).

Usually they pass after getting up, but Im pretty sure its gradually causing damage.

Although its a meme, its based on truth: Touch grass.

Go for a walk somewhere green, burn off some of the adrenaline your anxiety is producing.

Fun fact. In statistics, we often use bootstrapping, where a single dataset is repeatedly resampled to provide estimates of the uncertainty/variance.

The idea that you can get reliable estimates of variance just by re-sampling the same data seem illogical, and the term bootstrap derives from the phrase to pull oneself up by one's bootstrap, widely thought to be based on one of the eighteenth century Adventures of Baron Munchausen, by Rudolph Erich Raspe. (The Baron had fallen to the bottom of a deep lake. Just when it looked like all was lost, he thought to pick himself up by his own bootstraps.)

The best thing we have done is make all computers be in the same room, and no personal digital devices until they are old enough.

Just being able to give oversight is the most important thing.

You do need to be able to say “youre not old enough for that yet” and then explain why. Luckily my kids accept that when its explained.
