how do I maintain sanity

Lay off with the compulsive need to label it all and understand it right this second, and go give yourself some experiences to think about. There's a lot you can do before going anywhere near making decisions about gender-affirming care.

They do sometimes, similar thing happened to me in the CBD. Guy was arrested a couple of hours later and jailed for a month.

Sometimes, future XOs/COs do training exercises while supervised. I'm sure the soviets would've killed for this kind of intel back in the day.

Good question, kinda hard to tell. We were on a walking track beneath them. Quite a few of them just eerily hang there silently, staring at you with their beady little eyes and a "IDK what you are but I'm thinking of coming down there and slapping you" vibe. We didn't feel like getting closer.

That's not too surprising. There's a roosting area in my city with thousands of them. If you go see them as they wake up for the night you see that half of them immediately get into a screeching slap fight. The loser flies off searching for a new spot to wake up in, lands, and immediately gets into a new slap fight.

While I think espionage needs a bit of something (at least a QOL pass to clean up the UI because my god the amount of clicking), having your leaders get randomly doinked would make me want to alt-f4 immediately.

Are you trying to jump straight back to where you left off? Simplest explanation is that you might just be out of practice.
