“Portion Craft” is supposed to be Potion Craft unless they have released a game about properly portioning meals for people.

I’m glad they are calling this out publicly. It’s helpful to know which awards aren’t worth considering.

If I am a small business and I advertise one price and sell it for another. It’s called bait and switch and it’s illegal. If you’re a big company, they have to write special rules for you I guess.

I’m buying rust and a few other games that I am probably not going to have time to play in order to support these companies.

Fuck unity! Unite!

Border patrol agent Manual Alvarez IV got qualified immunity for assaulting me while I was in handcuffs between being booked and being interrogated. That certainly wasn’t part of his job.

Also, I was found not guilty because you are allowed to protest the separation and detention of children at the border. So it wasn’t part of his job to arrest me either.

Qualified immunity. Now that racist, fuck is just in a different part of border patrol training and leading the other agents. This is how poison spreads. This is why all cops are bastards. You either pluck these people out of the system immediately or accept that you have corrupted a system.

Certain missing police tapes are a good example. Why can they keep the school tapes from the people? Surely the suspect is dead.

Anwar al-Awlaki. Most things that I’m seeing about him are that he is the first US citizen targeted by a drone strike but I remember it being a big deal that he was the first US citizen assassinated at all.

And as much as I liked President Obama, he did set the precedent by targeting and killing a (bad) US citizen.

I agree with you and have studied this from my role as an intelligence official and former interrogator. The lawyer who prosecuted the Nazis at the Nuremberg trials stated that the real problem wasn’t the evil but the apathy of the masses that allowed a few evil people to do big evil things.

The fact of the matter is that human reactions to certain information are well known from our centuries of study of propaganda and marketing and psychology. At this point it is easy for the government to manipulate messaging so that the people are misled enough to allow evil.

It is the simple stuff and even smart people are influenced by it over time. It is a well studied phenomenon. No one is immune. For example, Trump saying that he has the most transparent government ever while specifically taking away rights and doing things in secret.

The propaganda tool has been efficient for our governments, especially since the advent of the internet. Also, keep in mind that roughly half of the population has a two-digit IQ. Some people will never admit that they are dumb and therefore will never admit that they have been deceived.

The fact that US citizens are scared to stand up to their government because the government police will abuse them shows where we are as a society. We are deeply fascist and the illusion of democracy hasn’t been functioning in Congress for quite a while. The illusion of the checks and balances has worn thin as well.

So I agree with you. Our society is diseased. But it’s not necessarily the faults of the individuals.

A random person would probably do what’s best for the country.

100%. Hero = victim.

I’m a disabled veteran in California. I hear you. The government chooses my quality of life and they have chosen poverty.

“Thank you for your service!”

Orange county and the Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District PYLUSD are some of the worst in southern California. They hired a superintendent because he was anti-mask and one of the board members only accomplishments is that her husband is a cop.

Last month. Court will probably see these texts. Lol

Respect.

Good to know. I thought it would be a hopeless fight. I’m considering driving my car through boarder checkpoints multiple times to document that their “drug dogs” felt differently than the one at the Veterans Affairs that they use to harass veterans with cannabis because it’s federal land.

It died with “drug dogs.” I am currently fighting the department of veterans affairs federal police because they bypass the 4th amendment with a drug dog. They found nothing because I don’t do drugs, but the fake dog hits need to stop.

The government has abused its power to classify and protect information. It shouldn’t take newspaper investigations to find out where our tax money is going.

I still haven’t seen the uvalde tapes. What authority are they using to keep public information from the public and who granted the police this power?

It’s weird that I generally have been following this but have no idea who she is. Do you have any place for me to start reading?

I have no idea what you are talking about. I was arrested when I was protesting in El Paso. They just brought trays of slop to us in our cells three times a day. It looked close to an '80s elementary school lunch but slightly lower quality. It really wasn’t reasonable. I was found not guilty because Americans are supposed to be able to protest. The FBI felt otherwise when they cut off part of the tape proving my innocence but got caught doing so without consequence.

These are the people who attacked America on 9/11. They agreed to help Bush in his war so we didn’t attack them.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the US worked with them closely before 9/11 and then enacted pre-written legislation immediately after the attack that our intelligence agencies knew was coming. Everybody in the middle was doing their job but our senior representatives never acted on the intelligence that was available. So now Saudi gets special treatment.
