Nah, it's too small... the phone would be the same, but it would be perma-plugged into an entire 100+lb steam and coal monstrosity system like those Motorola "car" phones in the 1980s!

(Shown: the first commercial cell phone, the 1984 Motorola DynaTAC 8000x, retail price $3,995 = ~$12,457.02 today)

"those that could be won over."

THOSE people don't exist.
The only people 'coming over to this side' are those who are suffering the effects of the damage they sought to cause to others, and are realizing they're on the wrong side of history.

Without contrition, they deserve naught but contempt.

Some people will never change their minds... and I think most of us have lost the ability to give a tinker's piss about those people as as result.
I have little patience for stupidity... and less when I see no efforts towards change/contrition happening.

"the rise of SUVs"

Literally... bumpers are higher off the ground than they used to be - what used to be a tibia fracture is now a femur fracture or even hip.
MUCH more serious and debilitating - with higher rates of death.

We've seen this time and time again from the reich wing.
- Vilification of Jews during WWII.
- Vilification of the Vietnamese during the Vietnam War.
- Vilification of the Iraq/Iran/Kuwait people during those respective wars

If literally "everyone else" is an issue, maybe the problem is "you".

My cast all sign Consent forms and I am 100% up front with my ideas as a DM and what direction I want to take the game.
I also have a few people I tap in as 'sensitivity consultants' and check in with them (as well as the potentially affected character's player) as to how to proceed in some cases.

Are we talking TTRPGs? Video games?
I mean TSR/D&D had a whole series of adventure modules where the entire point was to eradicate a human trafficking ring (A0-A4 - the 'Slavers' series) ... the plot of Doom and Wolfenstein is literally to kill Nazis...

Cut the shit bits out otherwise.

This one's the main issue.
Outside Vic/Van, BC's a big blue mess.

This is just another in a long line of Disney-fied "Sympathy for the villain" bullshit movies that try to be Wicked, but come off flat.
- Maleficent
- Cruella
- Joker's in this list, too... not even Gaga could save this shitpile.

Because trauma hard-wires the brain to work 'defensively'... so we're on guard against future threats and we learn to EXPECT to be hurt/disappointed.
It gets to the point where your body start craving the cortisol associated with the stress response... so it actively looks for trauma responses.

Do you think your pitiful display of "anarchy" by not voting at all will make a difference when there are more than 100 million other voters?
That is a profound level of arrogance.
Does the system need to change? Yes.
Will it change if a couple of child-minded asshats choose not to/protest vote? No.

Well now you have Trump.
So... "Boy, you sure stuck it to the Harris camp!"

Good fuckin' job.
Idiot.

"Because the President said he's the epitome of health... who are WE to challenge the great Emperor?"

We've read this story before.

I can tell you by reading this that "Wayne" is divorced, or about to be...
