My wife and I recently started our first playthrough. We're mostly interested in the story and style and I don't want to deal with any bullshit difficulty spikes, so we set it to Safe Mode and are absolutely here for the 120-hour push-button anime experience. So far, it rules.

You mean as long as voter suppression tactics continue to deny a lot of people their right to vote including by making voting inaccessible and/or unfair? Hopefully despite that people can rally and fight against it and use their rights and vote?
To the extent that that is a factor affecting a person's actual ability to vote, yes, that is what I mean, thank you.
However: by and large, that is not why Americans don't vote.
Thankfully Josh Stein seems to be well-positioned to win this one... as long as everybody gets up off their ass and votes
Captain Disillusion vs. The Artificer
Since 2014, when the previous contract was negotiated, flight attendants have been left with measly starting salaries even as inflation has shot up 33%, Hedrick said. According to an employment verification letter from American, which circulated on Reddit a few weeks ago, an entry-level flight attendant can expect to make $27,315 a year, before taxes. (Like many airlines, American pays its attendants only for the time the plane is in the air. Boarding passengers, waiting between flights, and traveling to and from the airport all mean flight attendants typically work about two hours for each “flight hour” they are paid.)
With American’s proposed 17% increase, the starting wage jumps to $31,959 per year, or $35.5 per flight hour. That rate pushes junior flight attendants who live alone above the level for qualifying for food stamps in states like Massachusetts or Florida.
Most new flight attendant hires are required to live in cities like Dallas, Miami, and New York, which have high costs of living that they cannot afford, Hedrick noted.
American flight attendants are sleeping in their cars, she said. Some of them fight for trips just for the chance to eat the plane meals, if the pilots don’t take their meals first.
3 hours 45 minutes, oh baby
If you look at it cross-eyed it should be the same image, just inverted (things that should be closer to you are further away instead).
Same here. Had to zoom in to get a fix on it, and then zoom back out to see what I was looking at. I'm surprised at how well it worked!
Pretty sure it's "Fuck Cars" rhetoric
