I mean... it is/was the prequel to Shadowrun, which has a good handful of video games, so... maybe something like those? With some exceptions they've been pretty well received over the years.

Yeah, some sort of ubiquitous ID would be less of a concern if the GOP/american conservatism in general could kindly stop existing or somethin', but until that happens at a minimum, you can just kinda' assume any attempt to implement something along those lines is bad faith... 'cause it's consistently been bad faith attempts at voter suppression pretty much the entirety of US history and very much continues to be so in the present.

Current more or less ubiquitous measures regarding voting eligibility largely work just fine as is, and generally could stand to be loosened rather than tightened. We just flat don't have a meaningful degree of that sort of voter fraud, whereas we do have substantial issues with voter suppression and disenfranchisement, pretty much all of it put in place or defended by the current GOP or its predecessors.

Eyup. Most folks I've interacted with enough for the subject to come up at some point has those occasionally.

That’s why I don’t even like cruise control, it is horrible not feeling as though I’m in control of the car.

You're never in control of the car, just (somewhat) in control of the steering and praying the rest of it doesn't fuck up. I guess the illusion feels better to some folks...

Cruise control is both love and life, though. One less thing to need* to pay as much attention to most of the time, and nicer ones these days have decent controls right on the steering wheel.

* People tell me they can feel how fast they're going, but I've rode with those people over the course of my life and every one of them were damn dirty liars that didn't actually know how fast they were going, they were just winging it and/or going by the people around them, so they'd end up going 5-10 or worse faster than they thought they were.

Humans are goddamn terrible drivers, trust the machine before you trust the brainmeat.

Setting yourself on fire makes everything glow and your world scream.

Don't try that at home, yo'.

E: In other news, someone has apparently accidentally'd the suez with a container ship. Whoops.

Man, I know that feeling. Fairly significantly doubt it'll ever change, too, as I'm pretty sure it won't unless I actually manage to achieve physical/fiscal security and, just. I don't see that happening.

Totally have an answer to the prompt, though: Whatever would guarantee food/shelter/health for the rest of my life. Not having to worry about homelessness, starvation, or persistent medical malaise would be amazing. That'd be empowering as fuck.

Don't get that when you're poverty line in the US and approaching disabled, though. Mostly you're just kinda' fucked.

Y'know, one thing I've noticed about eagles is they tend to look like colossal assholes. They got the facial structure of a dedicated jerkbird. You'd probably have better company from a vulture.

... but. Why? Why in the world did they make a dungeon keeper possession mod looking thing for AoE2? It's impressive, I guess, I just... don't understand.
