Well you could kill them and steal it back afterwards I suppose but you do have to pay the fictional game ladies fictional game money, yes. They need it for their fictional kids and to buy fictional food in the fictional grocery store, duh. What, you think they take USD?
Tbf, fuck Bam, I'd be mad if they removed him from the remake though, because he was in the original. I also think they should bring back all the secret skaters, though I know that may be unrealistic because of the copyright on some like Darth Maul.
Regardless of your opinion on teslas, cars, hacking your own devices, FOSS, whatever:
Car hacking needs to become a bigger thing, fuck this bullshit trend the entire market is jumping on. We need to be able to take control of our devices back from these assholes.
Hang on, so sex work is work and we shouldn't shame sex workers, but those who pay the sex workers for their services are gross misogynists? Gotta pick one.

(We can both say ridiculous things and be judgemental, or we can just let people like what they like. Not everything has to be "for you," nor "for everyone.")
I literally already said that we have trains in our densely populated metropolitan areas where it makes sense to do so already, but most of the country isn't those 10 cities.
As fun as talking in circles is I'm going to respectfully walk away from this thread now. Have fun in Italy, eat something cheesy for me.
The thing you're still failing to realize is that most of America is comparatively rural, and the big cities do have subways, busses, elevated train lines, etc. And we do have amtrak, and people do use it, but it's not feasible for most of the country to rely on trains for transport. The town my grandma lives in has 5,000 people (if that), no trains beyond freight, no busses, no cab drivers, uber sometimes, only if Big Steve is working right now and he likes to go up to the "city" nearby (not a city like Bos, NYC, Amsterdam, more like idk some small city in Albania lol) for bowling on fridays, so good luck.
Yeah, I figured. Unfortunately the entire world isn't as densely populated as Amsterdam, so public transit of that level isn't always possible. For instance, NL, the entire country, is 1/2 the size of WV the state alone. And the pop of NL is 17,722,333, and the pop of WV is 1,769,979. So to reiterate, your country of 17 million people is smaller in area than one of our states containing 1 million people.
Maybe try leaving your safe little bubble occasionally.
And someone else clarified "burning" as in sensation, not fire, that makes more sense! Still wondering how that managed to break skin but the burning I understand now lol.
Tbf there's a pretty good chance their entire country is the size of one of our states. The server suggests Netherlands which is like half the size of West Virginia, for example.
I mean, no? Ok let's say you did cut off the internet, there's still radio. Shortwave still can reach spies in foreign countries with their numbers stations now, and then there's VHF/UHF at home etc. Snail mail still exists, so does ol' fashioned landlines for communication at least internally even if they cut undersea telcom cables, hell I'm pretty sure CDMA would still be running, this sets us back to like 1990 at most, especially if we take this threat seriously and start implementing non-internet based (or sat internet) fallbacks just in case standard comms go down for a while until a new cable can be lain.
Like don't get me wrong, we'd definitely feel the effects, but this isn't some kind of world dominating shit we're talking about here, it's just pretty inconvenient, especially if we already have alts in place as fallbacks so we don't have to scramble to set them up.
