At least 17 people died in Florida after medics injected sedatives during encounters with police
  • Interesting, I've always been of the belief that K doesn't have a ton of "real world" use cases beyond being a bit of fun. (Its therapeutic potential is likely done better by other substances subjectively) Never heard of it being used as a backup anesthesic.

  • If there's anything that you should have learned from Snowden and Assange, it's that exposure is not enough. Websites like Open secrets have not made a dent in how dark money is tossed around.

  • I'm like 2 hours into Shadowrun: Hong Kong. I can't make heads or tails on it being good or not quite yet. It seems to have more Role playing elements out of the gate than Dragonfall, but I'm not liking the characters as much so far. Every character seems to be written as a wannabe tough guy thus far.

  • Weird
  • He's still a Warren Democrat, but he does cover many foreign policy things from a decent angle. I remember him talking about the Ratlines awhile ago for example. Seeing him go to bat so hard for Imran Khan is pretty refreshing, when the Intercept's previous editor was attempting to take it in a "progressive Democrat" direction.

    Anyone have a better way to make money online than mTurk?

    I'm also on Cloudresearch, but these sites are only getting me like $5 per day before I burn out. Are there better alternatives with maybe a little more effort or better pay?

    Spoiler: Spec Ops: The Line is an OK game for the "shoot and cry" crowd

    You get it all in this game, white phosphorous, lynchings, gunning down protestors, etc. The only positive of this game is that you get to gun down American troops in a video game with no pretense of doing this in real life(In Minecraft).

    The worst part about this game is that war crimes are framed as inevitable. I literally can't progress in the game without gunning down civilians or shooting white phosphorous at the troops™

    Like, this game would be good if there was once an anti-war message sprinkled in there. The fact that this producer can spread war crime porn is disgusting.

    This game was marketed as the tough choices horror show of games, and boy did it fuck that up.

    As an addendum: the campaign is kind of fun to play
