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
To address extreme levels of late bedtimes and responsibility avoidance, we applied the following temporary limits:
- Civ 6 Players are limited to playing 60 turns/day
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.
If you're going to make photo ID cards mandatory for voting, then they should be given to you for free when you register, anything else is an infringement upon people's voting rights.
Creative Assembly legitimately set 100m on fire and instead of turning towards their loyal fan base as a way to recuperate and refocus their business they have instead managed to alienate them further and potentially detonate the remaining good will that they had. Huge L
Civ games are actually pretty damn good on launch its just we compare them to games with years of expansions and dlc and the idea has basically become a community meme
Russia Bad.
Ukraine Good.
A quick reference guide for anyone struggling with the complexity of who's the aggressor in this conflict.
This is an existential problem for europe and Ukraine. We cannot allow our cousins in Ukraine to stand alone against violent subjugation.
Starting a highly edited tutorial series for Civ 6, going over the super basic stuff like Population, etc. What's something you struggled with when learning the game?
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
Lived my whole life in Ireland. Never once has an immigrant made me feel uncomfortable or unwelcome or unsafe
Every time my safety has been threatened it has been by a native born Irish person who treats violence and threats like its its own language.
My whole life I thought there was something wrong with me because I struggled to do the things that were expected of me, or necessary. Day 4 of adhd meds and I feel normal, I just spent 30 minutes cleaning my apartment and it was effortless. Holy fuck I was disabled before
Balancing encounter difficulty for a dnd group must be hard when one week they plan like it an elite special forces operation and the next they act like they're the protagonists in a Monty Python skit

Jingle Jam! Had an absolute blast meeting everyone and raising money, please do keep donating! Cheers to everyone who helped me find my way around Bristol, and made me feel welcome! Highlight was meeting the bunnies for me!
Went back to try playing Humankind again, and legitimately the World Congress voted for me to cede a city to another player that I was in the middle of occupying. I ragequit and think the game nearly beyond redemption.
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.
I left school at 13. I have only ever been self employed. You don't need a formal education to make something of yourself. Take the path that feels right for you.
I joked about being the biggest civ 6 channel in the world yesterday, today
@TheSpiffingBrit
's channel is gone. Coincidence? You decide.
@ManyATrueNerd
I'd watch yourself.
memes aside hopefully spiff can get it sorted
Pro-tip, if you want to change my mind on something - explain why you disagree with me. Don't try to bully me by saying "I'm disappointed in you" or "stick to civ". That'll just make me think you're stupid.
Honestly dancing in public for tiktok is like the least harmful thing a teenager can do in public idk why people think its some crisis of civilizational impact.
It is cold in the data mines, my tweet rations barely sustain me to lunch time, i sit staring at an empty app with a forlorn hunger, i have given half my tweet rations to my wife and son, and still they are hungry. I ask myself "Is this a just world?"
@calrles
Absolutely missing the point. Its not about justifying poverty wages, its about explaining why the system does not value the labour of these workers and jobs as highly as skilled workers. Its not a "myth"
Minimum wage is an effective way to make sure these workers avoid poverty
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.
When tucker says America is crowded he doesn't means theres too many people. He means too many of the wrong kind of people. He's a bigot not a statistician people get it together he's not making a population density argument in good faith.
On Sunday my channel hit the highest watchtime hours ever in it's history with 85.5k watchtime hours. Approximately 10 years worth of human lifetime was spent watching my videos that day. Thats pretty neat.
Demanding to be paid? Sorry, if your game isn't good enough for me to organically want to cover it (I cover a decent number of games for free) I have to make an economic calculation. Every single video I produce is affects my bottom line 1/?
The disproportionate number of Content Creators in the replies indignantly demanding to be paid by a publisher for their Content because it’s marketing is such a fascinating mask off moment for an industry that thinks critics getting paid at all is a conspiracy.
Guess who got to design one of those challenge of the month things for Civ 6? This guy. Check it out!
PS. I'm pretty sure you can do the challenge even if you don't own Khmer, perfect chance to try em out! Say hi

So I just got my first batch of ADHD meds, and they were like "This is a Class B drug don't lose track of it and never let anyone else take it" and I'm like "They hand this out to people who used to go to school without their backpacks?"
If I ever find out any of my viewers are harassing another content creator, you will be permanently banned from all my channels, discords, with absolutely no hope for lifting the ban. Do not do this. In fact, when you're in another person's livestream, talk about them not me.
This accent needs to be illegal and women should be banned from doing manual labour like this.
There is NOTHING feminine about American women.
American women are literally men.
Why do recipe websites write a novel of unrelated bollocks before the recipe. I don't care I'm fat and hungry and want brownies linda not an anecdote about your grandmother
Can we like, vote out a few billionaires? Not all of them, just the worst ones, you know - to keep the rest on their toes. The greeks were onto something good with Ostracism, time to bring it back I reckon
