Honestly I think it depends how locked into the story you are? Like if you're waking up during one of the prologues, esp nomad/streetkid, I'd imagine you can just walk away from the story and live a "normal" life. But is Keanu already in your head trying to take over? Or do you just wake up at Ch1 with Jackie trying to get you killed and a bit of a chance?

    Yea, what state charges lol?

    "Congrats, you beat your federal murder case, but what about your state murder and local manslaughter cases‽ Muahahahaha"

    Like that's the whole fucking point of double jeopardy. One crime, one trial, which is why they work to decide on whether the best charges should be state or federal BEFORE they charge anyone with a crime. The judicial system ultimately decides which court has the most relevance to the crime and that's it.

    The amount they pay isn't even some federal mandate or anything either. There are some municipal and county courts in the country where you'll be paid nothing. Maximum you won't be fired from your job if it's a long trial. If you don't have some sort of paid leave, get fucked you get to lose money.

    I seriously cannot have any degree of nuanced conversation here.

    Like I get it, we all know capitalism is bad, but it feels like every time I or anyone go towards discussing the steps that need to be taken to address current looming problems in the short term, someone has to jump in and shut it down with "capitalism bad >:[ " and tear down any idea presented because its not complete and total destruction of the current economic model.

    The result just feels like an echo chamber where no actual solutions get presented other than someone posting whole ass dissertations on their 33-step (where 30/33 steps are about as vague as "we'll just handle it") plan to fully convert the world to an anarchist commune.

    Edit: I still vastly prefer Lemmy and the fediverse and a whole, my complaint here is that many of you are TOO INTENSE. You blow up small scale discussion.
