Inside me there are two wolves: hopium and copium

The only attempt I can think of is Spec Ops: The Line, but I don't think it's had a particularly impactful role in the long term.

Inspired by Heart of Darkness, it sets you in the shoes of John McSuperCool Operator, on a CIA spec-ops mission to investigate a rogue US battalion in Dubai.

As you progress, you basically get deeper and deeper into the shit because John thinks it's his personal duty to be a hero and stop the commander of the rogue battalion, only for him to progressively kill more and more people that didn't need to die, culminating in wiping out an entire group of civilian refugees with white phosphorous and being confronted with the reality that he's a fucking monster.

There's a lot of arguments about whether the game ends up being a valid critique of the COD formula or not, but it definitely looks like it was at least 'trying' something.

Just because I live for the messiness, was this an episode where she covered it extensively or was it bits and pieces spread throughout multiple episodes of the podcast?

Love how this all relies on the belief that posting is praxis, and that by posting "tankie" you are saving the world from a future unspecified global dictator.

The Metro Police Authority of Genesee County is looking for the driver of a dark-colored Chevrolet HHR that hit five people Tuesday on the United Auto Workers picket line outside of General Motors Co.'s Flint Processing Center in Swartz Creek, Police Chief Matthew Bade said Tuesday.

Officers were called to the plant on Bristol Road about 4 p.m. after a driver who was leaving the facility struck the five individuals when trying to leave and then drove off. Only minor injuries were reported at the scene.

The incident is now being investigated as a hit-and-run, Bade said. "The driver left the area and we're working to identify that person now," he said.

Daily reminder that we all see this pop up on our feed too and you're going to have a higher quantity of people from other federated instances commenting by virtue of their being more of them active. No one is getting pings telling them it's time to go to X thread and post Y take, that's just a main character mindset people get into when they want to think they're the underdog and the 'other side' isn't playing fair.

My coworkers don't vibe and it sucks. Thankfully no one is trying to kill each other, but I just can't have a normal conversation with anyone. They all fizzle out. It's shitty but hey, hopefully future work situations put me in a better spot and I can have actual comrades again instead of just people who work next to me.
