I haven't done that but I had a few bosses where I made an effort to at least clear their first phase without using tools so that I had them in reserve for when they start doing faster and more varied attacks

Yeah, I agree

Either he's choosing not to rein the state police in or he actually *can't*, which is far more worrisome

Maybe we'll get lucky and Paramount will go bankrupt

Obviously I don't identify with the religious content of this but I have to give kudos to priests and such like this guy who actually walk the walk

Takes a lot of courage to do this kind of thing, especially when ICE has already show they're not afraid to attack men of the cloth

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

(The best example I can think of is being told that they should be given a bonus for taking more service calls than average, not thinking about what this could lead to: speeding and unsafe driving, hurried and sloppy work, employees fighting over calls, etc.)

In fairness (not knowing the exact situation myself) I will say that as a manager I often have employees tell me we should do X thing to save money or increase morale or what-have-you, not understanding that that would cause problems Y and Z. That's not a conversation I can have with every worker.

Even if this were true - and I don't believe it for a second - imagine how fucked up a society is that thinks it's laudable to spend the entirety of your existence - not even just your waking hours, ALL your hours - working.

(I also don't really find the version on the left attractive, either. Mostly because those breasts are absurdly large for her frame. She also looks kind of plasticky; I'm guessing because it was AI-generated.)

I don't think she's particularly attractive but (1) she's a warrior in 17th century Japan, I doubt she has time or money for cosmetics, (2) everyone's tastes are different and (3) I don't generally play video games to ogle female characters. And if I DID want to, there's plenty of alternatives.

yeah, Kiryu's jacket is gray, not silver

It symbolizes his moral grayness!

His dad was one of those suburban car dealership barons

The mansion he grew up in had an apple orchard!

They owned multiple horses!
