No. It’s in Houston.

In the unlikely event anyone in law enforcement reads this: you do not have to participate in the arrest of peaceful protestors engaging in civil disobedience. At any time, you can be the first link in the chain of state violence to break and refuse to participate. Either prove the police unions truly protect their own or merely exist to perpetuate the immoral victimization of everyday people.

Agreed. I’ve been the one giving a lot of interviews. I’m a little concerned when people don’t ask these sort of questions and tend to volunteer answers in that case. Any company with this attitude is an absolute joke and a total dumpster fire.

This sounds great in theory, but I can assure you it will just result in either boilerplate or ai generated explanations. The work of putting that together is just going to get thrust on already overworked people who are dragged into panel interviews so managers don’t have to deal with it.

I completely agree more set up would have been beneficial. I think the show runners were stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to fit everything into the number of episodes ordered. It seems they generally chose to omit things like this that only prior fans would need, where most of the audience would just accept it as how things are. I’d be interested to see what was originally in the season’s story that had to be cut.

I took the shooting up the car as a demonstration of that chapter’s deterioration and splintering preceding the “plot”.

I’m not sure it’s worth putting a ton of energy into trying to convince Trump voters. Many of them only come to their senses once they are personally affected by his policies.

There needs to be focus on turning out the majority of Americans who dislike Trump. That has to be done with exciting candidates who focus on our systemic problems and actually want to change things. There’s no amount of window dressing and virtue signaling you can hang on corporatists to make people enthusiastic. They must want to vote for the candidate, not just find them more tolerable.

Unfortunately several parts do not hold up when you remove the novelty and temporal context. The whole game was mind blowing when it was new; I very much enjoyed it then. On a subsequent playthrough years later, there were definitely parts that just did not hold up. I used the console liberally at times because I couldn’t be bothered to do them for real.

I think it’s the consequence of bringing a truly revolutionary game to market with limited resources. There are clearly portions that exist to showcase the cool shit they could do rather than to drive the narrative or be genuinely fun.

Normally I’d concur wholeheartedly. I have concerns about the culture that has permeated ICE and whether it can effectively be resolved through reorganization. Perhaps specific functions can be spun off into a new or existing department.

I think it would be more effective to get rid of ICE and use those resources to properly fund the immigration court system, so it can process cases much more quickly.

There is the bigger issue of addressing the causes also. Over a century of destabilizing its neighbors to exploit them for private profit and keep them firmly within the US sphere of influence has predicability created a lot of migration. Fixing that will take many years though.

Nothing screams “I’m an enormous loser who must project my insecurity onto the world” like kicking over a candle at a dead person’s memorial.

I have a family member to whom this happened three separate times during their youth. They are fairly unsurprised by what is going on in the US as it’s all very familiar for them.

Don’t sell yourself short. Politics, at its core, is just the description for group dynamics and decisions. Those impact all of us, and we all care about at least some subset of them. The dramatics and window dressing most media focuses on is just a small portion of the whole.

It’s totally understandable that you may not be super knowledgeable about certain topics that are getting a lot of attention, but your values are worth being represented as a meaningful political issue.

I’ve never met someone who says they’re not political who is actually not political. They just prefer to think about the things they care about as “above politics” or don’t want the heat for their opinions.

CDPR spent the time fixing CP2077 and then released a killer DLC, putting the entire game on sale a ton along the way. They also listened and reconfigured entirely some of the clunky parts of gameplay/RPG elements.
