I'm leaning towards layoffs.

I would like to think that it be for something serious.
By serious I don't mean an annual general (heh) meeting. I mean either 'the federal govt layoffs are coming and high command will be cut by 25%' or 'We're getting into a fight with China over Taiwan. Soon. Really'

I got up to the swamp biome before moving on from SilkSong, but from my understanding all flying enemies were programmed and placed to be as annoying as possible. Also for some reason they share the same hp as tankier, slower, ground based enemies.
Some parts of the game are very high qualities, but in others you can tell that it could have used more QA or a larger consensus on what they were doing.

Lots of reasons. Testing defenses, intimidation, diversion of resources.
As an aside, I found out the Mexican cartels are apparently sending undercover sicarios to Ukraine to learn about drone warefare.

Yeah, we're still only at Step 1. I thought the memo was out about this.

That's not how this works. The heightened threat against ICE is removed and then their legal risk mitigation strategies can be stood down.
But yes, they absolutely should be cracking down on and arresting the doxxers if the legal means allow them to do so. If they can't for whatever reason, then the protective strategies remain. Then federal laws should be passed against stochastic support of crime.
It shouldn't be 'law enforcement personnel must accept the exposure of themselves and their families to physical harm while they're alone and exposed at their homes because they decided to work for ICE'. Clearly this will lead to intimidating people into not working for ICE. Which means border enforcement ceases to exist and Antifa achieve their political ends through the threat and use of violence (eg domestic terrorism).

Once the doxxers are significantly deterred to the point the criminal behaviour is drastically reduced, and the doxing threat against ICE agents for doing their jobs is removed, then ICE agents can go maskless again.
No, a black woman will can get black men to vote for them while a gay man won't almost certainly can't.
Edit: fixed.

I think its more of a statement against corporate exploitation of consumers through shrinkflation. He probably has a dead family member who was a habitual drinker of post-mix beverages and suffered from mass-exploitation over their lifetime.

If ICE stopped being masked goons who look like they came straight out of a bad YA dystopia movie,
Your terms are acceptable. This can be accomplished by arresting and punishing those on the left that are attempting to dox the ICE agents and use intimidation, violence and other tactics (even stochastically) against the agents and their families to demoralise them from their work. Once the doxxers are significantly deterred to the point the criminal behaviour is drastically reduced, and the doxing threat against ICE agents for doing their jobs is removed, then ICE agents can go maskless again.
and became normal accountable government officials who behave kindly and civilly
If this is not code for 'become ineffectual' and actually means that you wish them to hold the above demeanor as they effectively do their jobs then this is also acceptable. Effectively doing their jobs however includes an appropriate use of force against those they are arresting and also those attempting to disrupt law enforcement activities.

Nothing happened in the world today. Anyways..
He could have acted like most people would when confronted in that scenario; taking his feet off the seat and spending the remainder of his journey being resentful at the woman and the conductor, before forgetting about the incident within an hour of leaving the train.
Instead he decided to cover his embarrassment at being called out for his prole behaviour by immediately escalating into racebaiting. His Rosa Parks act doesn't fool me and I'm pretty sure most of his fellow travelers (heh) were thinking 'just shut up and get off the train dude, I've got places to be'.
While I hate Karens (and the woman in the video looks insufferable), I don't have any sympathy for him at all. He's contributing to the tragedy of the commons and pearl clutching when called out. The seats are plastic precisely because people act as he does, lowering comfort for all travelers and contributing to more cars on the road driven by people who are not public transport enjoyers.

Apropos of nothing, your comment triggered something and I did a dive back into the original Moria roguelike. Oh boy... the memories. How does a casual ASCII game from the early 80's provoke that kind of emotion. How could a modern developer recapture it?

Pope John Paul II famously advocated for his (failed) assassin to be pardoned. I think he did it to make the religious point beyond doubt, but I believe justice for criminals is something that is pro-social and needs to happen. You can imagine a Christian fanaticist society according to your interpretation and its likely outcomes.

I won't go into examples of the 'ick' factor, but I know it when I see it. And when I come across these visual hazards I let my mind slide past the images and quickly move onto the next piece of content. Its a very helpful self defence measure.
Some Christians believe that demons can actually attack you through various mediums like the above. I'm agnostic, but I definitely don't feel the need to observe and ingest horrible things in some display of bravado.

the protesters have drone footage that certainly seems to show a lot of people
Not wanting to rain on that parade (which actually happened. The rain I mean), but when I've observed photos or footage from any politically related event it is always taken in a 'just so' way to provide a verisimilitude of larger attendance.

Just finishing The Thirteen Gun Salute.
I can see why some Aubrey/Maturin enjoyers favourite some of the later books in the series. Its great to follow Maturin after all of the character growth that he's been through and interacting in pragmatic ways with strange fauna that would never be allowed in the modern world. Knowing something of Indonesian and Malaysian culture, its interesting to see them used as a colonial era set piece for the series' usual political skullduggery.
Its also so strange to see colonial European attitudes towards pederasty and homosexuality in practice. I've got no idea if things were actually like that back then, but its pretty interesting to see it woven into the narrative and used as an attack surface for Maturin's intelligence machinations.
Really happy with my time investment in this series.
RSPCA disclaimer - No Sloths or Orangutans were debauched in the writing of this review or the novel itself. At least as far as I know.. there was this one night time scene in the Buddhist temple that wasn't entirely descriptive of what went on.

'Turning the other cheek' is more about breaking cycles of vengeance through forgiveness and not holding a grudge.
In other words her act is more of a call against retaliatory acts of violence against the Left and nothing about absolving the criminal from his need to face Justice.

(I've learned you always want to be a patient gamer with flavor of the month early access games)
This is probably good advice. I hate ruining EA games for myself by coming to the end of the content, and not feeling motivated enough to ever return to the game in it's final form.

I picked up Return to Moria a while ago for free on Epic Games Store (who are still giving away free games weekly btw).
I first played it a bit solo (up until the tentacled lake lurker or whatever it was) and then restarted to play with a friend. While it was kind of fun to explore Moria alone and gave me a feeling of isolation, the game seems to be designed for Multiplayer. I eventually dropped the game because it didn't hold my interest. I don't think I'd go back unless I could play it with friends as the content itself feels kind of samey after a while.

I think a lot of moderate Breadtubers and influencers are really anxious right now. Because they're thinking 'if the current political climate is one where moderates are being shot by their political opponents, how safe am I?'
