Truly the most terrifying.

At the risk of hijacking the thread, what are the downsides to being an EMT? What kind of horror stories and shit-that-leads-to-drug-addiction does that job entail aside from dealing with large amounts of people in various states of not-doing-so-well? Not to downplay the effects on the psyche that dealing with such a morbid job entails mind you. Someone mentioned it upthread and that kind of feels like something I'd be interested in doing from the same wanting to make a difference angle as BB here. So please, shred the idea if you think its terrible but I'd love to hear about it good and bad.

I'd like to say "the good news is the Democrats won't make that mistake a second time", buuuuut my local Democratic Party just failed to run a candidate for County Attorney for a second consecutive fucking election, and I'm not exactly filled with hope that Georgia's Dems have their shit together any more than ours.

Don't worry, we didn't. On my ballot out of...7 or 8 positions there were precisely two republicans not running unopposed, not counting the presidential election.

Helps me find secrets.

I've said it before, but at this point almost nobody seems to want marijuana illegal anymore except the tobacco and alcohol industries.

Alcohol maybe but I imagine that the tobacco industry has plans set aside for if/when pot is legalized so they can swoop in and make (another) mint. They already have the infrastructure, it wouldn't be too hard to alter the contents of what goes into that white paper tube and mass produce it.

Anyways yey this is an awesome step towards a sane drug policy in the US.

The cover shields will be red if they're not gonna work for protecting you from whatever can hit you at the angles the cover provides. Aside from that walls only add to your dodge percent, when shots go directly through the walls its just a visual issue, its not like UFO Defense where bullets were objects in the world that could be stopped.

I really think the worst part of Classic is the jacked up alien crit rate. I mean seriously, it feels like they crit >50% of the time and its garbage. Can someone link a good mod that cuts off that bullshit while keeping the heightened AI? Nevermind I'm doing my own research on the XCOM Nexus...there's some good stuff in here. I might have to start this fucking game over again on Classic Ironman just to feel like I got the right experience. Someone linked the Warspace mod in IRC earlier and that looks awesome, I wonder if you can combine a stat fixer with that and have it work right.

This seems good and what the fuck worthy, pardon if it was brought up elsewhere. 14 year old girl shot for promoting women's education in Pakistan. The kid is a fucking champion and I hope she survives...trying to assassinate a 14 year old, keep it ~classy~ guys.

<myew> rainwarrior: You don't think that i think kayin disparaged floe's ability to learn.

<myew> Ridley: I think. Is that the victim was like "because it's awesome?" and he was a cunt.

Fuck it, what's the worst that can happen. *shakes fist at Bongo*
