Shit, didn’t even have to be high level. As long as you could give a decent justification for the location, usually some sort of historical, or other type, of context making the location a general place of interest, they would almost always allow it. At least early on, I stopped playing that a little more than a year after it came out. We used to select places in the city that had historical importance, but in the modern day were hotspots for prostitution, drug sales, and other crime. Like the one Art Deco theater that was historically important to hollywood, and politics, a long time ago, but, at the time, was a porn theater that always had a crowd of prostitutes that would follow you down the street pressing you to pay for services, if you walked past.

I mean, it is literally ask him which sin he likes the most and he lists one of the seven deadly sins, so that is where the religious aspect comes in.

How many year experience do you have working in a prison facility?
- Comment on Close but no cigar 4 days ago:
You very likely were more watched, and understood, than you think. Each of those balls was probably checked, and it was likely that there were strict penalties for inmates who grabbed one, assuming any inmates would be able to. There was probably a disposal point for them as to keep employees from bringing outside contraband in. This is very different to walking up to the prison wall, and throwing some random object over it, especially doing it multiple times, showing you are trying to get it over the walls. There are thousands of videos online of guys standing on the closes public road to prisons, and jails, and they get attention in minutes, when they are just taking pictures, and some video.
Even for facilities in densely populated areas, like downtowns in metro areas, similar to the one I used to work in, who have to be a lot more tolerant of people on their grounds, and at the periphery, if someone went into some place uncommon, or was acting strangely, there would be guards there in minutes to question them, and drive them away. The people on the walking/biking path right next to the building, who would often linger around, lean on the fence, etc., rarely caused a reaction though.

Shit, had that been a US prison he would be surrounded by officers before he made it through four attempts.

Yeah, I have a friend who was in the CBGB scene from the late 70s, though the 80s. She has pictures of when Madonna was hanging out there, before she was famous, but as she was getting notoriety for her voice, drumming, and sex charged performances, which were a lot more punk at the time. She has pictures of her participating in anti-authority events from the time, and shit.
Now though? A whack job, deeply into cultism, and way disconnected from the girl sleeping on the floor, and hanging out with the hardcore punk, and goth, bands at CBGB and Mudd Club.

Yeah, there really isn’t and recorded history for that, unfortunately. From what I am to understand most of the natives in Appalachia died after DeSoto tore through the place looking for precious metals as he basically was just a bio-weapon.

also plenty of historically bad neighborhoods, and towns, with long histories of violent crime.

Do murders on mountains count? Then there are definitely mountains with way higher kill counts than anything in the Rockies.

There is, don’t order food to be delivered to you house. Going from every pizza shop, and local fast food joint, having people who would drive the food to anywhere within a few miles, with just the idea you would likely tip them if you got your food on time, to having to pay anywhere from 1/4-2x the cost of your order to have it delivered, by a third party, that is a huge faceless corporation, with poor service, is really disheartening.

Oh, this wasn’t your fault, for some reason my profile had your comment under a different comment where this would make no sense. Gonna delete that. Sorry about that.

You can both empathize with the loss of innocent life, and understand that it was consequences of their collective actions. If someone where to stab someone, and that person stabbed them back, and the attacker dies, you can both mourn the loss of life, but also understand the attacker deserved what happened to them. Had we not accepted the warmongering, corporate, fascists, controlling our government, we would not have slaughtered 100’s of thousands of people in foreign countries in the first place, thus avoiding the retaliation we received. That attack was defensive. Your previous comment implies that if a country is attacked by another, they should not attack them in return, because it would be underserved, which is just completely naive pacifism.

There has been a noticeable amount of ICE all over here as well. The problem is that almost all of our Latino population is from Puerto Rico. So they have been harassing people on the street, kicking in doors, and beating people up, but making few arrests, and almost no sustained charges. This is a problem for them because their good standing clause to not pay back their bonuses is based on getting people actually deported. So the ICE agents here are crying about how they might end up bankrupt because they spent those bonuses, and can’t afford to pay them back.

That had we not had a history of committing acts of of mass violence in other countries, we wouldn’t have deserved to have one committed upon us. We did though, so we do.
