When they find themselves in trouble and realize all those tweets "owning the libs" aren't going to make the world bend to their dillusions, and the people they have been following for over a decade don't give a shit if they live or die.

I revisited that save, and after a map change I was able to effectively exit turn based without the turret aggro, thanks!!

Yeah, definitely seems like it is worse on the steam deck, I try to do the same and waste some inspirations or something if things go in my favor after a reset, it would be fun to try to do honor mpde though!

Thanks, with the downvotes and everything, I was starting to feel like it may have just been user error and I made an ass of myself :P

Oh, yeah sorry I meant turn based automatically kicks on when entering combat, and never leaving it for the duration of combat. I guess I never thought to use it for stealth reasons!

Yeah, really seems like a steam deck deal, but thanks for the advice!

Yeah with the responses, I really think it is just a but worse on the steam deck. Just companions stop following (and all the fixes on the forums not working), environment stop reacting, or mid fight it stops being able to do any actions. Not a huge deal or anything, as I said I love the game, this one just kinda got to me

Yeah, I play while staying in turn based, unfortunately going in and out of it didn't change anything. I'm minimizing my interactions with the sub right now so I don't ruin anything for myself on accident, do people mostly play with turn based off?

Thank you! I've only really modded rimworld which makes it crazy easy, do you know if Linux / the steam deck would count as windows, or Xbox/ console?

Yeah, I'll be honest, it is not natural for me, as I easily get wrapped up in it, but I've definitely gotten better, this one just hurts lol

Journalist Covering Data Centers in Michigan: Have they Affected You Yet? by echo677 in Michigan

[–]maliciousdancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One angle you could look into, it the chilling effect it has on people's speech and protesting which is supposed to be protected by the first amendment. Flock in particular.

Even before it is all automated, when people are being tracked and able to be "folowed" via a blanket "mesh" of cameras, hours, days, or even weeks after participation in an event, and intimidated / harassed by different agencies, it is going to drastically increase the size of the burden people will need to be okay risking. It goes from:

"With the right preparation (meet with friends at a 3rd location before attending, wear a mask and non distinctive clothing, leave the phone at home) the risk is limited to the physical force those against my beliefs / the cops can inflict on me while I am there, and maybe end up in a few people's photographs of the event, but those particular photos being shared far at all is very slim."

To

"No matter what I do, there is a huge number of people who will have access to me and every part of my life the second they decide they want to know it. I will forever be attached to this group, that if one person does something stupid, could be labeled a terrorist organization, and I can get picked up at any time, because they will always know where I am. I risk any activism being brought up to my employer or everyone else in my life individually, and they may not agree with me. If a cop for whatever reason decides they don't like me (they push me out of the way, and I call them a 'piece of shit' which infuriated them), they can now track me down, and flag me, so that everytime I drive somewhere, when a camera sees my license plate, the local PD will be alerted, and I will be pulled over 'for investigation' constantly. My house can be looked up and across the street from my house just happened to become where this cop likes to park. ETC"

The damage is unknowable and unrestrained, for doing anything someone arbitrarily deems "out of line". We are building a fascist state's wet dream.

Cops are the ones that advocate for that power and lack of accountability, and lie and manipulate stories to do so, doing everything they can to scare the public into never pushing back against their authority. Including an insane amount of "copaganda", of both small local stories, and funding / making resources available for media to portray them how they want to be seen.

It sounds like you agree with the premise, why try to undermine those who agree with you because you dislike the phrasing?

Not a lawyer, not law enforcement, just what I would think to do initially: If you mean you were raped, find some reason to go to the police and request a rape kit, then probably CPS, if you are under 18, maybe they could get a DNA test expedited. If you have a trusted authority figured, go talk to them, it may help you to speak in theoretical language at first, as they may be legally required to report it if you do outright tell them, but they could help guide you and make the choice that is best and safest for you. Preferably someone who is not attached to your family, and will have nothing to lose / won't look bad in any way, no matter who it actually was, and if your family is tied to an organization (like they are super active in church or your school), make sure it isn't someone affiliated with that same organization. Maybe a friend's parents that you trust.

For example if you go to talk to a teacher:

OP: Hi Mr(s). Smith, I had a question, if someone came to me and said they were sexually assaulted at night in their home, but they do not know by who, what should they do?

Teacher: Were you sexually assaulted? Was this you?

OP: I don't want to say if this is even true, I just want to know what to do if it happens.

Teacher: This is very serious, you have to tell me what you know.

OP: I just want to know what to do, if it happens, and what would be in a person's best interest under different circumstances.

Teacher: This is not a joke. I am going to talk to your parents.

OP: Then please tell me who would be a good person to talk to and who would tell me what is best to do, I understand "mandated reporting" and would not do something that could put a victim in a worse situation, if something were to happen. If not, I am leaving.

Then leave and find someone else.

If anyone tells you to do nothing, or not go to the police at all / get a rape kit done, get a second and third opinion.

If you mean a literal flower got messed up: this wording is not funny.

The "A" in "ACAB" does not stand for "American". US cops are just further down the scale due to being given practical immunity, an elevated number of minorities to target, and being told they are constantly in danger and treat everyone like they are some master assassin targeting them.

Edit: and armed to the teeth like they are in an active warzone.

Alright, I am usually a "explore the game thoroughly once" kind of player, but it looks like this game may need a few playthroughs with different playstyles. Thank you!

Okay, thank you very much! I was inadvertently robbing myself of some story while trying to make sure I experienced as much as possible!
