Who is going to tell him that his son has a way around it?

I have butchered squirrels, deer, turkey, snakes, catfish, goats, pigs, and rabbits. Went vegetarian two years ago for ethical reasons though, so I guess I don't get to raise my hand lol

Do not apologize for summarizing lots of information into a shorter form for those of us with only a little context. It's a valuable service. Thanks.

I don't vote locally, because I live in a deep red state in which my vote doesn't matter. Because of the electoral college and first past the post voting, it also doesn't matter during presidential elections, but I vote in them anyway, because my dad always said you weren't allowed to complain about the president if you don't vote, and I like complaining.

More like Trans Max

I like it. Now I want to block off a street to make a plaza with seating like they have in some neighborhoods in NYC.

You pasted the last paragraph twice.

The same thing that's on the first side, but in reverse.

I agree. While we're at it, we can also make election day a holiday and require employers to give workers at least a paid half-day off so that they can vote, and create a citizenship ID that is free and easy to get rather than using ID with requirements like a driver's license. Then maybe we can try out ranked choice voting and eliminate the electoral college. You know, since we want the election to be fair.

I'm probably going to get some hate for this one, but Spider-Man: Across The Spiderverse. The story wasn't as tight as the first movie, they introduced too many new characters to keep up with, and it ended with a setup for the next movie.

On The Nature Of Mass Movementa, by (I think) Eric Hoffer. One of the things he claims is that mass movements are generally made up of the dispossessed and dissatisfied who want better conditions but are not quite suffering enough that their entire focus is on acquiring food. People have to feel as if they could improve their circumstances by revolting, but not be actively starving.

I heard a story about a guy doing something similar, but it was his internet connection speed and instead of submitting a noise complaint it tweeted at his service provider.

Ah, true. My last job could have done that. Use a home printer.

Type up fake email discussing it, leave it in the break room. Deniability.

Did they fight against the bulge, or for it?

Same

Maybe he doesn't want them all dead, but he regularly abducts and dissects individuals who catch his attention. One is of specific interest, but has never been caught because the mongrelfolk are protecting it.

Yep.

Make them live in terrible conditions, and look like monsters at first glance. This way your players will react to them as standard dungeons & dragons monsters, by which I mean kill them all. Afterwards, they find council chambers, crude medical facilities, nurseries, etc that imply that their society was surprisingly egalitarian and had a budding democratic government.

Give just enough of a hint beforehand so that they could have resolved things peacefully if they had been paying attention.

If harming your players emotionally is the goal.
