So, maybe this is hindsight, but why were battery inspections and storage in the same location? If the batteries failed inspection (which I’m guessing the exploding ones would have, or at least do now) they should be kept separately from known good batteries right?
But on a serious note, something as obvious as “Managed Democracy” and quitting your job by signing up for “Early Biovat Reprocessing” and the characters literally saying things like “HELLDIVERS NEVER DIE!” Before being obliterated by a 380? It’s satire. Satire is funny. Like hahaha look at stupid Facist regime, I’ll role play along to get into the mood of the game because the idea is so fucking dumb it’s funny with amazing gameplay.
It’s willful ignorance at some point. I don’t think media literacy has much to do with it. It’s simply listening for what they want to hear, then ignoring the rest, just as real facists desire.
My employer had a policy written for this scenario and warned office workers about non- approved appliances in our cubicles. Anything to cook/heat was spelled out, several examples given. But never an electric griddle, which to me should sort of be the first thing that comes to mind
From memory it was anything with an exposed heat source or high wattage- Toaster, hot plate, personal space heater, microwave, toaster oven, hair dryer, fondue fountain are what come from my memory. (At our desks mind you)
We had at least 3 microwaves in our floors break room, a few toasters, fridges, etc. Thinking about it, it was less about disturbing others or personal injury and more about fire hazards.

Ironically, A rather conservative old school pastor I had growing up often told a fable of a guy talking to god for the first time. His boat was damaged and sinking after he struck a rock. About 30 minutes after another boat saw the damaged boat and offered him help and the guy waved it away saying “nah, God will help me.” A couple hours pass and another boat sees his submerging boat and offers him help and he replys again “nah, God will help me!” Another half hour passes and the boat is under water and the guy is struggling to stay afloat. A third boat passes by and he waves it by again, “no, God will intervene!”
The guy asks God “why didn’t you save me?”
God replies “I sent three rescues, what more could I have done?”
I think it does a better job at highlighting the flaw in thinking “God is behind everything.” The guy that drowned didn’t “drown of Gods will” he drowned because he was an idiot.
Remove God from the story and it stays the same. At least, that’s what led me to figure out the whole concept of an omnipotent, omniscient, omni benevolent diety and a whole religion was BS.

I’m starting to wonder if all this insane shit about punishing women over reproductive health care is an attempt to make domestic abuse acceptable.
Like I get it, not having control over someone you have shaky trust in doesn’t feel good, but maybe it’s not about control and it’s about that lack of trust.

Look. Mr. Putin, a 500kg Eagle Air strike can take out about 15 bugs with a good shot. Thermobaric weapons are huge, but you’d need one hell of a lucky drop and concentrated enemy force to get 300 KIA
See that’s you step in and fan the flames. Make up shit.
I’m so white I burn when it’s cloudy. Look at Mr. Sun Tan showing off his impure equitorian flesh trying to say his idea is the best when he clearly lacks the brains to try.
Listen to Mr. Squeak. His balls never dropped quite right, and his kids are “y’know what I mean”.
Not to mention, if they all just happen to show up at the same time, they will hopefully recognize their numbers are bigger than they know. Once they know the numbers are in their favor, it doesn’t take much effort to convince everyone that shit changes now. You’re already there.
Which is sad, but it’s a good concluding point - Paul is blinded by the Stone Burners, and leaves the crusades to it’s end, and as a fremen follows the fremen tradition of being blind, and leaves into the desert.
But then if he decides nah he wants to answer “what next” would be fantastic too
It can be confusing, tracking the multiple lawsuits journalist E. Jean Carroll filed against Donald Trump, who sexually abused her in the 90s and then lied about it.

This whole reality is like reading batman but the protagonist isn’t Bruce it’s the Ventriloquist, and everything he does is written from the view point that it’s “better this way.”
You know this article pissed me off with the self-immolation bit.
Self Immolation in protest couldn’t be from preexisting mental illness. He clearly was emotionally impacted by his experience in the environment enough that his rational brain thought that by assuming such agonizing pain and stating the protest, the message would get heard a squeak louder.
Suicidal people don’t think rationally. They want the pain to end. Or they become wildly careless. They don’t sit there and go "how do I accomplish some good and end my suffering " while selecting the second worst way to die.
I only took a small amount of marsh water in, but Jesus Christ, the panick is unbelievable. You can’t get rid of what’s in there and you use up whatever is in your blood so quickly. Also the water fucking hurts like a mother fucker. And if you survive. Like I did, I got pretty bad pneumonia from it.
So I’ve always been confused by why it’s odd that I don’t like seeing nude dudes, but if you include a nude female or female doing sexual acts I’m excited about it.
Like people, it’s not rocket science. She could be deep throating a goddamn banana and I’ll get excited to watch it. Once naked ladies are in a scene I somehow don’t even recognize that the actors are really in the scene. It’s not that I suddenly like dick, it’s that my attention literally can’t see it.
As an example, in old school stuff they used to pan over to the dude plowing the girl, and only the dude was in the shot. That broke my attention and always had to skip it, cause, quite honestly, I ain’t into being plowed by a dude.
