Minor bump, just wanted to note that in a show of amazing acausal nonsense, the crashing I was running into last session has spontaneously packed up shop and crawled back into whatever hole it spawned from. So... good for a game, whenever, apparently.

Y'all should do a netstorm day at some point. Think I'd even wrangle my computer into playing it again to join in on a round or two.

Regardless of whether it happens elsewhere frequently, it's relevant to the story, because it helps people understand exactly what sort of organization the FPD (and county) is.
Yeah, point I was half-heartedly making is that it's more of a "don't shit in your own backyard" kinda' deal, mixed in with a non-negligible amount of police forces being noted for making things more difficult for folks that give 'em a bad rap (even, hell, especially, if it's a deserved one). Bad cop stuff doesn't hit air very often because it's bad for the local area reputation and the news organization's ability to make money (or at least individual reporter's ability to keep their ruddy job), at least insofar as I've been able to tell.

And for whatever reason, cops are incredibly unwilling to throw their bad apples under the bus, and very much willing to shit all over everybody that tries to do just that. So you've got a lot of mitigating factors when it comes to large-scale public coverage of police fuckery. Y'get the occasional big ticket stuff, like what's going on in ferg, but as Gryph notes major news stations spin that shit like a carnival ride of rapidly oscillating gyroscopic dicks.

C'mon vec, there's gotta' be a couple that aren't so bad, right? Right? One or two?

... yeah, maybe not. Generally if you're an actually decent human being you're not going to maintain a rich status and/or lifestyle because you'll kinda' be using the money to actually do nice things for people, instead of doing rich-y stuff. Though I'm sure there's at least one or two rich folks out there that live like normal people and actually steadily invest in good, or at least nominally beneficial, works. Somewhere. Maybe there's several and they just never make the news, I'unno.

Was just looking through a cosmetology recertification test and, s'just. Why do people make tests that don't even try? Not only were all the answers in order throughout the packet's text bits, the questions' answers were bolded in the main text of the packet. Because what the fuck. Reading is too hard, I guess?

Maybe in the future of the internet the answers will all be 24 point bold font, multicolored, and vibrating. Also they'll pop up when you mouse over the problem, and if you select the wrong option, the website will helpfully correct your mistake for you!

M'painfully reminded of the concealed carry "test". Starting to wonder if certification and re-certification in general is like this, which definitely does not inspire confidence in the technical capabilities of our specialty workforces.

... probably because that's kinda' normal in the states. Not particularly newsworthy, a great number of places seem to have very similar stories. Honestly, the "casual" (read: day to day stuff) police bullshit doesn't really get much air time, not on the major news channels.

... 1.2.3 has been out for over a month >_>

Though it does look like there's been no mention of it. Hrm.

... dunno if I'll watch for long, but I do want to throw a vote behind zulu tophat and monocle nation. That's a damn dapper fellow, it is.

Potentially a bit more experimental, apparently. Also in embryo form though, yeah. Animes like it when they come with an established base and a few seasons worth of plot pre-written.

... though yeah, SAO got an anime series. Two, apparently. Sweet hell, it apparently showed on Toonami. 2013-2014 run. S'also manga, couple video games... s'apparently pretty popular. Also some fairly nice fanfiction, ha.

No guild is better than any guild.

ok Kirito

"Grouping is bad" says the harem anime protagonist. Well, I guess insofar as alimony payments are concerned...

... it's actually pretty hard to find legit soloists in fiction.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!
Nothing. Your parents are fucking scum that deserve to be behind bars. That's not your fault. Not your failing. You've done nothing to deserve what's happening to you.

WHY DOES EVERYONE SEEM TO WANT TO MAKE MY LIFE HELL?!
Because they're blatantly fucking insane, C. Many of the people around you are sick in the head. That isn't on you, it's on them, period.

I want to run away right now. I'd just take a few things I care about and some money and get myself a plane ticket and just leave all of this behind.
Bus might be cheaper, I'unno. If you do dip and happen to end up in north florida, I could probably arrange for a room for a while, if it helps any.

Yeah, walmart trips have been fairly tame, for me. Even when I regularly went at like two in the morning (no traffic, no lines, no other shoppers, all bliss and ease). You've got your normal southern poor people, but even with all the massive amounts of drug trafficking that goes in the general area nothing particularly odd has happened.

Well. Or it could be that odd stuff has happened and it's just fairly normal for this area so I haven't noticed *shrugs*

It'd be a fairly impressive about face from the legal system if he did spend the maximum sentence behind bars. Probably just a temporary pirouette, but still.

Be somewhat of a minor about face if the bugger gets sentenced at all, but :V

I could kinda' see the onion headline now: "Never before seen legal precedent: Rich white fucker actually spends more time behind bars for inflicting massive societal damage than poor black bastard does for robbing corner liquor store!"

Maybe it means that she's walking in on you?
Haha, that's about the best interpretation for a date being interrupted by your mom joining in on a four legged bone machine.
