    You do. That’s your track over there. It’s just smaller and populated with non-humans. You actuate it with your tongue on that little lever. Better make your decision quick though. Looks like money-bags is about to make his, and it’s not looking good for those of us on this track.




  • It’s hard to imagine how to cram it down into a PSA but I’d like people to be more aware of the differences between a ‘friend’ and ‘someone you have been forced to spend time with by circumstance.’ As kids, so many of us have classmates we end up spending time with because they were just there and are told those are our ‘friends.’ Then people take that idea into the rest of our lives.
    People need to be taught to have higher standards for friendship than ‘the person my boss made me do an assignment with.’ As hard as it can be to accept, if you don’t trust a person to have your best interests in mind when making decisions which can impact your life, they are not your friend. They might be a buddy, a coworker, a neighbor, a countryman, a comrade, a pal, a cool guy, or something else, but they are not your friend. Don’t let awkwardness force you into lying to say they are.


  • Hard to read in that scrum but it looks like they grabbed the guy, started trying to arrest him, and he struggled a bit. It’s such a pile-on they have a man for every limb so they should know they have basically nothing to fear. The grey jacket goes to join in on a leg, then grey-jacket and the starer spot the gun. Grey jacket goes to grab the victim’s gun, but starer reaches for his own weapon like that’s somehow going to protect him from the still holstered gun of a person with a full grown man on each of his arms. I can’t tell which guns go off from this video but I suspect grey-coat fumbled and caught the trigger, probably almost shooting starer in the foot through the victim’s pants, but then starer shit himself and started firing so blindly it’s a surprise he didn’t hit anyone else. In a remotely sane system, starer would be immediately outed as ‘unworthy of the badge’ by the other agents, the agency, and even the supporters of this idiocy. Any escalation move, even just drawing your weapon first needs to be a firing offense.
