Yeah, I got the sense they had to cut some of the story out late in development to make a deadline or something. I dunno.

But it’s hard to get very specific what I mean without giving away a boatload of spoilers.

I finished it yesterday as well! Lots of things I loved about this. For me, third act kind of fell on its face a little bit, but that wasn’t enough to put me off, I still really enjoyed it.

I just finished it yesterday. Verdict? Super fun, gameplay is great, looks beautiful, has a retro vibe. The story… is okay.

I’m not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent.

Wow.

Yes, and I would argue that it’s crueler to put an innocent person through that drawn out process than it is someone whose mistake or carelessness actually caused an innocent life to be lost.

It is a mistake worth dying over? Maybe not, but as long as there is no consequence to getting it wrong, there is literally zero incentive for public officials to get it right, especially those wanting to prove themselves “tough on crime”

Do we ever give the death penalty to someone who kills someone by accident or in an unfortunate situation?

No, but we sometimes give the death penalty to… people who didn’t do anything wrong? And maybe, just maybe, it’s too easy, too consequence-free, for the state to take someone’s life, if it just happens by accident sometimes.

And perhaps at that point, enough people might realize that giving the state the right to execute people is extremely fraught and finally decide it’s not worth it.

But it seems like maybe the bloodlust is too strong.

If we believe in the death penalty, then we believe that the state has a right to end someone’s life because they unjustly took someone else’s.

So if a person was executed and was found posthumously to actually have been innocent, then would we be justified in executing, say, the DA who prosecuted the crime?

And getting into a car with a stranger

Is getting into a car with a stranger a crime?

If the cops ever find my Uber history, I’m in trouble.

If you have any specific hobbies / fandoms / communities you’re interested in, you could see if there are instances specific to those interests you could migrate your account to. The local feed and local hashtags are sometimes way more interesting if you’re on an instance you jive with.

This is my approach, and for those who don’t know, you can use those line numbers that come back from history to rerun the command. Like if your output is something like this:

$ history | grep tmp
  501  ls /tmp
  502  history | grep tmp

You can run !501 and it will just re-run ls /tmp

So that when they say “you take out a loan, you pay it back,” you can point out to them that Donald Trump filed for bankruptcy (i.e. didn’t pay back his loans) five times in his life.
