That subtitle is priceless “

Yes, that’s correct. Civilians will be able to choose from the 2.3-liter Ecoboost, and the 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6. Neither will be hybrid. 

My wife is from another state that also has these and supposedly they called them the “jizz and split” growing up 

Oh shit. Who’s going to tell right-wing media that woke cops love hybrids?

Reference to a Rage Against The Machine song about cops.

The Police Interceptor version is designed specifically to be able to run all of the accessories on the battery alone while the vehicle is switched on.

If there’s a weakness in a motor the police will find it as they run their cars ragged, they’re a better torture test than anything the automakers do. Of course also why would never get a retired cop car as probably abused way worse than anything on a rental lot.

Hybrids make ideal police vehicles. Especially for a maintenance department that is more aware than anyone just how fragile ecoboost engines can be.

Like, I’m not here to say Japan is a paragon of gay rights, because it’s not, but neither is the US. There is a constant assault on gay and trans rights going on in half the US, right now. I’ve lived in rural Alabama and Tokyo as a lesbian trans woman, and I can tell you which one I felt safer, more comfortable, and…

So just last year, I was working in Roppongi in my company’s tokyo office. I work in a law firm, and we have Japanese translators and paralegals that are Japanese. Well educated (all Tokyo University or Kyoto University grads), politically liberal dudes, not your typical “ネトウヨ”

US: 71 % approval of gay marriage

That’s literally always true. Same for you. I’ve comfortable with sharing an opposing anecdote, though. 

It’s not “Joker can’t be gay” that made the game homophobic, it was all the homophobia that made it (and the couple previous entries) homophobic.

Those who “Look Asian” in the US have the benefit of being affiliated with/suffering from the Model Minority stereotype. However, if COVID’s appearance in the US and Trump looking at Asians/those of Chinese ethnicity for their fall guy is any indicator, know that the US and culture is rooted in discrimination and…

I’m not so sure characterizing Japan as “back in the past” is really accurate. I’ve lived in England, the US and Japan, but far and away the worst place for racism I’ve ever seen was England. I mean at least in the Japan and the US fans don’t throw bananas at black athletes.

I did say “ Women’s rights issues, racism and homophobia,”—but yes, totally agree.

One thing to realize that Persona 3-5 has you as a silent protagonist in the “They’re supposed to be a mirror for you” sort of way. It’s not like the character isn’t gay because the character isn’t anything. You as the player are the one deciding how they are for most things, so with that freedom, the bottleneck on…

That’s super odd to hear as someone who used to live there and spent quite a bit of time with a couple of black friends there (one of whom was a woman) and never met any hostility whatsoever. The complete opposite, in fact. Staring, sure, but I got that a lot as a solo white guy. I saw a “no foreigners” sign or two,…

Its not just Social issues Japan seemed to be behind on when me and my wife went there in 2019. I’m white, she’s black, and good god the amount of staring, whispering, and outright hostility we encountered was staggering. We ended up cutting our trip short after one restaurant straight up refused to let us in.

So then you just didn’t read the article at all, huh?
