Unskilled Labour is literally just a description of how much training a job requires or a worker has. The word skill is shorthand for tradeskills. The definition expanded to include academic skills (degrees) - Skilled: Butchery, Carpentry, Plumbing - Unskilled: Lifting Boxes

Unskilled labour is an impossible term for anti-capitalists to understand. It literally just means that it does not take much training to perform the task. It takes sub-15 minutes to teach the basics of mopping a floor or putting something in a box.

As a lifelong Civ fan this will go... 1. Civ 7 releases with zero content, fans hate the new look 2. Civ 7 gets a trickle of DLC for YEARS 3. After 3 years it will be AS good as Civ 6 4. After 5 years it'll be the greatest game ever made

Seeing people celebrate the deaths of Russian soldiers, many of whom were 12-16 years old in 2014 when this conflict began sickens me. Celebrate the defense of Ukraine, but mourn the waste of human lives. Do not lose your humanity by being swept up into hatred.

Thermonuclear take: 4x games would be better if "production" as a resource didn't exist until the Industrial Era. Same for "Science" in the Renaissance Era. The games become entirely about maximizing production and science to race down the "path" of history which is dumb imo

Rare L take from Anita. Finishing at least secondary education increases your employability, income and options in life. It's a rare person that takes the sort of path Anita and I have taken that avoids education. If you have to ask if you should stay in school - stay in school.

A single video from me is worth between $20,000 and $100,000 in *revenue* to a game developer in sales if the game is right Mike. I still get quoted offers for sub $1k USD and I take them - for indie games. You can afford to pay a YouTuber mate. You got great organic coverage.
