TempleOS is a brilliant project for just one dude, and I feel really bad for the dev. Untreated mental illness sucks ass.

That would make sense, if that’s the case.

Is there more context to the shooting of the tourists? In general I would be opposed to killing, especially just shooting into a group of people, but like in Occupied Palestine when they swooped in over a music festival just outside a war zone the context made more sense.

Ooh this makes me mad. It almost feels like if revolution doesn’t happen soon people will become so broken they won’t have the will to revolt. I remember reading in one of the Dune about methods of preventing revolution including making sure the people have no hope of things ever changing, no hope that they can escape. It really feels like the Torment Nexus meme; they just saw the worst things in fiction and were like, “Let’s do that!”

Started watching the old X-Men animated series. They’ll probably present it as helping get resources for the parents to learn how to better care for their child, and then come to put them in their slave-labor farms. Or for others openly say what they’ll do and the parents’ll think it’s a great idea. Or like you said, just steal private medical data.
