    “I was sexually assaulted, and no body believed me,” another woman chimed in. “I didn’t tell anyone and you’re telling all women that they don’t matter. That they should just stay quiet, because if they tell you what happened to them you’re going to ignore them.”

    100% agree, it’s very ubiquitous. It exists anywhere, and it certainly exists in Chicago without the influxes I was talking about. What I more meant is that in Chicago, you get different types of racists mixing together at the same time, with odd results.

    Chicago racism is... Weird. The city itself is wildly diverse depending on the area, but drive 20 minutes out and you’re basically in Wisconsin. Makes things like Cubs games a total shitshow.

    Have these assholes even been to Chicago before this? City is simultaneously black as fuck and Hispanic as fuck. Running around shouting racial slurs is a universally losing strategy.

    “We live in a society”, etc, etc.

    Boring. Call me when we have news on P=NP.

    This type of thinking is actually one of the first things they taught us in one of my freshman year Intro to Engineering classes. Designing for extreme needs will usually fit the norm as well.

    You ever see Wizard People, Dear Reader by Brad Neely? I was trying to pull a bit of that in.

Sure, they might lose out on a few sweaty racists, but this decision will branch the Witcher series into entirely new demographics. It went from “stupid random fantasy series on Netflix that nobody will watch” to “that one

    Hate this car. Been ranting about this fucking thing for a while. It’s the new Crown Vic in terms of “who does that”. Except instead of a relatively cheap car with some horsepower (weighs like 4000 lbs though, and you’re still a bastard for driving it), you get a shitty Ford SUV.

    Worked at a Subway for six years during high school and college. Fucking hate Subway customers.

    Makes me feel things. Car did its job.

    Surprisingly, this game shows up in my top 3 in terms of design. This, Ori, and Metroid Prime. I have a type.

    So can we just get Chance now? Or at least somebody who cares about the city?

    The Western Chicago aesthetic is seeing a 90s Civic with a turbo that would work on a truck struggle to escape the Woodman's parking lot, then proceed to redline first gear all the way to the nearest stoplight. Saw it just the other day.
