“...When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—”

“But they starts with thinking about people as things.”

Starting to get a decent grip on the shape/design of my big dream, Code-named "Star LARRP" (not a typo)

...Now i just need to translate the charts and notes into ::Shudders:: Documentation. And start looking for potential co-conspirators.... Anyone thinking of trying their hand at being game staff?

That's fine; That specific context doesn't change my reply, which simply expanded on how we repaint these things in hindsight to soothe our own wounds. Wether it's the assholes who started it, or the weak men who didn't stop it.

I'm beinging to think hitler wasn't that charismatic at all...

Pretty sure it's actually about enslaving people so they can be even richer. They are reaching the limits of what they can attain with the labors laws we have. They aren't going to deport people; they are gonna shove them into camps and lease them back to their industries. Prisoners are slaves.

Overall my most consistant success has been with drinking copious amount of water and sleeping 12+ hours a day for 2-3 days. I'd drink maybe 1 liter, then pass out for 6 hours. Wake up, pee, and repeat with maybe snacks an an hour of light activity like a long shower between cycels.
