If I remember right Project 2025 is more about absolute executive power. Florida is just very gerrymandered and as a result its legislature agrees with DeSantis. Wisconsin would be doing the same shit had Evers lost

More about, yes. But they said what they want to do with that power is to make sexual assault of minors a death penalty crime and then make any LGBT exposure to children considered sexual assault of children. Trans people by just being visible would be guilty of this.

i think you're confusing it with Rome.
i know Rome had that outlook, and Greece was way gayer than them

Noooooo Rome was much stricter. If you were the submissive/passive partner at all, that was bad regardless of your age. With maybe, maaaaaaybe the exception being young boys. Emphasis on young and boy. And even then... well, they still would mock the shit out of you.

Didn't like every Greek have some slave boy they fucked on the side

It feels like homosexuality was more accepted in that era than in any other in history

I can't remember the exact rules that generally governed homosexuality. Iirc as long as you were the older, active/dominant partner or the younger submissive/passive partner it was considered acceptable. That's not counting weird special status that you got to have if you were a priest of some sort which let you have other things.

But as for the second? Fuck no. They were too patriarchal. Two women having sex was confusing and weird to them to the extent that they didn't even see it as sex and again, outside specific cults and priestess roles, fucking between women was dishonorable.

Meanwhile in other civilizations they were like "You gay? Cool. You trans? You have magic powers" the Greeks were not great. Better then the Romans but I'm not sure that says much.

No but if you are driving and you are caught speeding or the cop thinks you did anything wrong they might look deeper especially if they think they've clocked you. Like, getting pulled over for routine traffic related things just happens sometimes.

Had a horrifying thought. The first one was "no cop pulls you over to check your registration and inspection and then I thought of the checkpoints they create to do literally that. Now apply that logic to trans people.

So fun fact, in some trans spaces people are talking about their experience trying to get their gender and name changed and they are being denied AND they are being tracked and their information being cataloged even if they all they are doing is asking questions and not.even applying. According to some they are dragged into back rooms where they are denied and personal information being taken down.

I'd agree if the MTA ever proved they were an organization that actually aimed to improve services. They don't and they won't. They're gonna take this money and blow it on cocaine or some shit. Before the pandemic, De Blasio and Cuomo rode the subway in 2018 when ridership was at its peak and said nothing was wrong with it because MTA specifically made sure the trains were running during the date and time they said they were going to take it.

I've had to wait over an hour for a bus then watch as 4 of them come to my stop and skip it because they were busy jerking off at the depot.

Hence my comment on "if they actually improve public transit"

You'd be wrong. Public transportation in NYC sucks ass. Buses and trains are always late, they're always overcrowded and they always break down. MTA will do nothing with the money except shove it up their ass.

If you actually drive through Manhattan, the traffic is caused by taxis and trucks double parked on every street and people walking when they have a Do Not Walk signal and blocks cars from being able to go.

The simple solution is to have trucks make deliveries at night but that will never happen. Have to charge people and then piss the money away on not fixing the infrastructure.

If there were more room for cars, there would just be more cars and the congestion would continue. That's how it works every time. Once a mode of transportation becomes quicker and easier, people flock to it. You aren't solving the problem. That's why public transportation is better

tl:dw - 15 bucks a day per car to drive through congested areas to fund public transport.

Because it's a good idea? Well. It's an ok idea. As long as they are actually going through with improving public infrastructure

I didnt say anything about breaking the game. This is how the game functions.

Their open world design is so boring when youve explored it already. The appeal, for me at least, of new builds in Souslike games is figuring out the route youre going to take to optimize your build on new runs. For other souls games that requires trekking through the various levels in a more methodical way.

In Elden Ring its literally run around with torrent not fighting a damn thing for hours.

Ok but, crazy thought. What if, you don't do that, and you play it normally and grab all the items for your build as you progress through the world the devs intended for non-expert players to go through?

It's...fine. But the title is a good summation of it.

I liked it most when it wasn't dealing with the main plot which is not a good thing. As others said, the pacing is just godawful. And you'd think Sora was the one who got hit in the head with that rock instead of Goofy because he's so. Goddamn. Dumb.

But I never felt underwhelmed and after the attitude check that was KH:3D, I knew the plot would be absolute nonsense. Like the gameplay and atmosphere is probably the best Nomura has done. I don't remember the pacing being any worse then the others nor do I recall Sora being any dumber than normal

Yeah, because historically people were straight up killed for committing crimes.They'd nail people to crosses, stone people, etc. Thieves could have their hands cut off. Hell, even in the US, they'd just execute horse thieves and cattle rustlers.

No, because local municipalities would handle it in different ways. Often a thief, either had to work off their debt or pay it off. While shit sucked, things were not nearly as barbaric as story books make them out to be. Technically in Roman times the pater familias had power over life and death of their children but it was rarely invoked because killing was still a bad thing.

What are we going to do with criminals instead exile them?

Depends on the criminal. Most can repay their debt to society by either literally paying money or community service.

What I'm hearing is that the violent crime rate doubles.

Most murderers aren't serial killers. Usually they kill someone because they feel stuck in a situation and think murder is the only way out. They aren't good people but most aren't going to run out and buy a machete and get to hacking.

I really don't think you understand how bad we are at incarcerating people if you think this would happen. Ya know prisons didn't always exist right? At least not in the modern conception. Half of all murderers are still out there. 90% of all rapists don't go to prison.

No not talking about race and sex and all that so you can go ahead and fuck off bigots.

Those with power and wealth absolutely should be held to a higher standard then those without. Especially with fines. A flat 50k fine that might drive a mom and pop to homelessness or suicide isn't even a rounding error to a corporate CEO.

Say If I as a service worker am charged 500 for a speeding ticket, someone making a million year should be charged 50k and Elon Musk should be charged 500 million.

That's why I believe fines should be a percentage of income or total wealth
