Businesses have put significant amounts of money into shrinking the other 'theft' categories. They put nothing into protecting the worker because it's worth it to them to rip us off, and the fines are minimal if caught.

Google doesn't care. What are you gonna do? Not like the average consumer has any real choice.

Who gives a fuck what most Americans say.

It. Is. Your. Right.

They're doing exactly what Trump wants. In what world do you think he'd let them go?

Might as well lie, not like laws matter anymore.

Don't tell that to Chick-fil-A

Part of me tries to rationalize the current state of the world as a last gasp by those who know we're all doomed and can't change anything. The elite and powerful. And instead of trying to fix anything, they've all decided they're gonna go balls to the wall before it's all fucked beyond repair.

That's a weird way for a station to react.

Almost like they don't actually wanna talk about real problems.

most or a great majority of people in the US have it "good enough" to not "risk it all".

Most of the people I know are barely hanging on and desperate to keep the little they have. When you're barely getting by, like 60% of Americans currently living paycheck to paycheck, you can't afford to risk anything.

They're too busy making sure their kids don't starve, or making sure they can stretch the last bit of money until the next check. Doesn't help that all we do is exploit these people any chance we can.

And I'd bet a lot of people in that situation don't really care to help repair a system that never really worked for them in the first place.

It's not the right approach, you and I know that. But desperate people don't act rationally. They act emotionally. And our society has gotten really good at manipulating peoples emotions.

I never used the PlayStation app, but the app 'Chiaki' worked well enough for me with my ps4 and 5.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

 

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
