I hear this all the time, and aside from the fact that it’s not remotely helpful to say to someone in their 30s struggling with debt, you’re also ignoring the fact that for most of us (who knows, maybe still now), we were entering a landscape of steep tuition bills and normalization of student debt that was much…

It’s any time there’s an alert from the National Weather Service, regardless of what the alert is. Because they’re not consistently written there’s no way for the game to interpret them, and so they err on the side of caution.

He’s going to have to put his spin on them- it’s his job, he’s writing for these characters. How he conceptualizes them in his head is not the same as applying…

Eh, this one isn’t about empathy (though you’re not wrong in general). Read the comments. Pretty much everyone assumed this guy was just your typical rude commuter sort.

The controls (SCADA) are networked, not likely on the internet, but sure, it’s totally possible that a SCADA network could be hacked/compromised. My company fends off literally thousands of attempts to hack into our systems daily. This is all considered critical infrastructure, so the Department of Homeland Security…
