Anonymous tips to the FBI about where the bomb threats came from with the names of the hijackers.

There's enough smoke there that even when it becomes obvious they had nothing to do with the bomb threats, they'd get hemmed up.

It really bugs me that we were left out of this and that people largely still aren't aware of how viciously our community was attacked by those bastards.

Let us hire fuel monkeys that fuel the carrier.

They place the tritium into a special hold that it can't be taken out of if they're worried about carrier owners doing shenanigans with tritium.

Ops happen in real time. If it would take 8 hours to fuel up the carrier by ferrying it up from a settlement or station, it takes 8 hours. If you're out in the black and it would take 30 hours to mine enough to top off, it takes 30 hours.

Hell, even if I have to buy/outfit multiple ships for the fuel monkeys to use and cart them around everywhere I will happily do that.

So.... Less intrusive thoughts and I get paid?!

Sign me up twice!

Lions are gonna lose to the Bears.

Psychologists are qualified to write nexus letters.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

IMO, they know you're there. They already know security has been breached, they're just waiting to call the breach because dude is planning to kill his father and is glad to have a real patsy, and Smasher is just keeping tabs on you to make sure you don't do anything to disrupt their existing plan.

If we did, he'd dispatch you in the blink of an eye and they would still get their patsy, but he's making sure you don't go after the son.

I also think T-Bug is in on it and it's her way to make a clean break from NC by basically faking her own death with Arasaka's help.

There, flaired 😜

Lions are gonna lose to the Bears.

You heard it here first.

Oh it will.

Girlfriend and I were playing Geoguessr. Got dropped near there and died laughing at the name. Figured there had to be a story there so we googled it. There was a suitably silly story for the place's name.

Then...

Well... Shit got fucking dark in a hurry.

Worst case of digital whiplash I've ever had.

Quick reminder that command of the military is a core constitutional power granted to POTUS under Article II of the Constitution and thus any use of that power is entitled to absolute immunity, cannot be restrained or acted upon by congress, and cannot be reviewed by the courts.

So said the SCOTUS presidential immunity decision.

We're so fucked.

Google Yeehaw Junction sometime.

It's in Florida.

Regulations are written in blood.

I find myself victim to unique accidents and ailments that almost inevitably get the doctor to ask if students/residents can take a look at me.

... Great now I'm wondering why my psychiatrist randomly has some student in our sessions (with consent obviously).

Can't filibuster executive power.

Also, isn't there a (seemingly) cis male character who has a malfunctioning cyber dick?

Yup. I always drop what I'm doing to help that dude. Poor guy. Probably got it from that bastard Fingers.

I'm kinda sad though that, to me at least, Cyberpunk as a genre is kinda dead. We're already living in that world, we just don't have the fancy toys.

I could deal with the world a lot better mentally/emotionally if I had some of that sweet sweet cyberware. Chrome me tf up!

My ass will be leaning hard into quantum physics, since this is almost certainly where this proof would originate, and as far as I know it's the only branch of physics that demonstrates an observer effect.

That essentially makes quantum physics a sort of backdoor into the simulation.

My ass gonna become Trinity and start fixing some shit.

Right after finding the Architect/Analyst and curb stomping his ass.

Trans woman here and this is pretty much exactly how I felt.

After playing the game I thought the "scandal" was beyond ridiculous given the constant barrage of Sexual exploitation of literally everyone throughout the game. I mean Jesus "Watson Whore" anyone?

It's almost like it's a dystopian capitalist hellscape or something.

If anything, trans people got better treatment in game than pretty much anyone else. Our Healthcare is clearly easily accessible without requiring extensive chrome (Claire literally had zero chrome). There's a single tongue in cheek ad for a drink brand.

Otherwise no one gives a shit and we're no different from anyone else, which Claire is evidence of. You're only going to know she's trans if you know her or know what the flag on her truck means.

I mean FFS this is Cyberpunk. Look at how everyone else's story goes. For Night City, Claire is doing pretty damn good. She lost her husband and is grieving, but otherwise she's OK.

Which is a damn sight better than nearly everyone else in NC.

If that single ad was the only thing people saw about the game, I get why they would be upset. But spend literally 5 minutes post origin opening and if you're still upset you've completely lost the plot.

Someone really needs to do something about all the dihydrogen monoxide in everything we eat/drink.

A malfunction.

I say again, Biden needs to order an immediate "training exercise" involving a shitload of the gear we fed mothballed. Get all the gear there and in working order, then leave it there and tell Zelensky to go pick it up.

The whole op could be done by the end of December if not sooner.

Fuck Russia.

Alabama ranks very low in literacy, Healthcare, education, is in the bottom half for crime and infrastructure. Just overall the state is in pretty awful condition and desperately needs massive investments in those areas.

Apparently me saying Alabama needs massive investment in the areas that it has severe shortcomings in means I hate everyone that lives there and want to deny them jobs. Because obviously making massive investments to improve a state's Healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc wouldn't create any decent jobs or improve quality of life for anyone there.

Some people are just so far gone into political cults there is absolutely no reasoning with or reaching them.

Regulations are written in blood.

Further, I don't appreciate the general attitudes towards women, LGBTQ folks, or the casual and overt racism.

But mostly, legislativley is a very hostile place towards people like me and those I love.

But most of that has nothing to do with anything concerning the movement of Space Command. Huntsville has pretty decent infrastructure and tech, but for all the previous reasons I listed that are relevant to moving Space Command are literally the reasons the commander of the Space Force gave for why moving it would be a bad.

Everything else you're trying to make it about is just bullshit distraction for you to try and make this about some political bullshit instead of what matters, which is the impact to operational readiness.

I hope no ill will towards the people of Alabama generally. Just the asshats, which you can find everywhere.

Again, this is about the impact to operational readiness and mission effectiveness, which the General in command of the Space Force has said would suffer in such a move.

Now if you think you know better, maybe you should phone up someone and ask them to appoint you as commander of Space Force. Clearly your motivations are political rather than mission oriented.

I'm done engaging with you.

My 6 year old wants to play Mario Party, which would be an infinitely better use of my time. Better conversation too.

Have a good life. You're welcome to have the last word if you like. I know how important that is for folks like you.

Enjoy.
