Occam's razor would suggest Rand's concerns are probably not valid.

Hmm, going through my email and saw a recruiter is inquiring whether I'd like to work for Bethesda.

Well there is the unprecedented situation this time with a pandemic (which ideally would leave people social distancing, but alas these are not ideal times) giving a lot of people a lot more free time to continue to fight the fight. And the police brutality on constant display will only server to further rile them up. At this point, the actions of the police against protestors is reason enough to protest.

Thanks to Neil "Corporations Are People" Gorsuch, they'll probably win. Hooray, now little orphan Timmy won't have to suffer a life with gays and instead have a nice fulfilling life at the orphanage eating gruel.

Well there's cracking the skull of an elderly man and walking over his body as his head bleeds out. Thank goodness that hasn't happened yet.

Firing is definitely not enough. The way that usually works is they get fired and simply move over to work for another precinct because there's nothing to stop them from doing so. First of all, they need to do time. No more immunity to power-tripping police abusing their authority. Secondly, the entire system needs overhauled to break apart the thin blue line and introduce much-needed oversight. The current system in place gives immunity to the "bad apples" while the honest cops who do try to do something about their out-of-control brothers face harassment and death threats.

You start by trying. Battering people without just cause and hiding behind a badge is ****ing cowardice. To Serve And Protect, not To Beat And Oppress. It is their job to put themselves in danger's way to serve the people; it is not their job to harm people to make their jobs easier. It is never right to batter people who are exercising their right to assembly non-violently. Never.

I think the video was posted twice on this page alone.

I find myself having to delete a lot of posts that are best kept out of public forums.

Everythin that is happening right now is the type of thing that has always been at the top of my blood-boiling list. If we're looking at private citizens doing this to other private citizens, lethal force would be 100% legal. Police do this to private citizens, then any sign of defense against their battery permits escalated "accidentally lethal" force the other way. Those cops belong in prison with a nice big sign around their necks stating what they are.

I'm still going to work every day, so I get no such reprieve. I think I have Life Is Strange on steam, but I haven't played it yet. *checks library* Yup, there it is. It's even installed.

The struggle is real. Oh, also slowly working through Luigi's Mansion 3. And Dragon Quest 11S is on my radar.

I haven't played any of their games. I'll take a look at it at some point. Got a back log I'm working through, though. Been playing XCOM 2 War Of The Chosen. Simlutaneously starting to go through Xenoblade: DE. Just got the Bioshock collection, so I'll probably have to work my way through those. Also still gotta play Witcher 3.

Looks like it releases tomorrow. I recall hearing good things about it when it released on other platforms, but I don't really know much about it.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition came out last week. If you own a Switch and like RPGs at all, get it. Remaster of one of my favorite games of all time. Wonderful environments, great cast of characters with really good chemistry, one of the most interesting stories I've seen in a game with many twists along the way. Also comes with a new epilogue for anyone who has already played it.
