It's probably for the best that China is ruled by civil engineers (people who build targets) and not mechanical engineers (people who build things that blow up targets).

My 530,000 word magnum opus, Death Note: San Francisco, in which the Death Note is discovered by a Left-NIMBY instead of Light Yagami, is, I think, an underappreciated work.
What are your views on New York mayor and radical red maoist Zircon "Al-Zohrani" Luigi "Giovanni" Al-Mamdani Mangione Mussolini Abel-Ruffini? Personally I think he's an upstanding African-born powerhouse and a political cisgender man.
He's somehow going to raise my rent even though I don't live in New York. If you look closely, you can see the NIMBYism in his eyes. The nature of a true YIMBY is to have an open palm. He is not a practitioner of the Way. 😔
A group of armed men from the Involuntary Philosophy Experiments Action Group invited 15 Twitter users (in the Chicago area) who claimed that "all art is political" to a free showing of Star Wars. Upon arrival, the Twitter users were instead shown a 1 hour promotional video for Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, and prevented from leaving.

A 7/10 anon rolls up on you at the bar and says, "Liberalism isn't a real ideology. It's just guys hedging between Communism and Fascism so fast that it looks like a real ideology to the naked eye."
How do you open?
Poll: Gender in Night City
There are a lot of gangs in Cyberpunk 2077. With some gangs, like the Valentinos, almost half of the gang members are women. In real life, any homicide is much more likely to have been committed by a man. What gives?
A) With the final achievement of gender equality, women are no longer pressured to conform to restrictive gender roles, freeing them up to pursue what they have always wanted most - murder.
B) Arasaka paid off environmental officials rather than install the €$3.2M scrubber system to remove industrial pseudoandrogens from the runoff of their production lines. The entire water supply of Night City is tainted with hormone disruptors and/or synthetic hormones.
C) Overuse of cosmetic cyberware, widely marketed to women, results in chronic low-grade cyberpsychosis. Due to sexism, cyberpsychosis is under-studied in women, especially because it's more likely to manifest in joining a boostergang than mowing down an entire busload of school children.
D) Almost everyone in Night City is using a hormone scheduler implant to alter their hormonal balance in order to get an advantage in the city's cutthroat competitive business environment. The effect is more pronounced on women, but society there leans masculine so this is broadly considered a good thing. This is causing subtle systemic social issues that no one can be bothered to deal with.
E) A strain of micro-organisms originally developed as part of a treatment protocol for transgender individuals got loose in the environment - 30 years ago. This is just how gender is now. Only old people remember otherwise, and everyone else just rolls their eyes whenever anyone over 45 starts complaining about it.
F) Presenting as the opposite sex in a social group provides a social advantage the more that said sex is in the minority in that field. XX and XY have become decoupled from appearance as every field in Night City approaches 50% presentation balance. Ripper docs are just that good.
G) Due to feminist lobbying, Night City laws dramatically reduce criminal sentencing for gender-equal organizations, all the way from street gangs to megacorps. Cross-gender employment is easy money in a city where easy money is hard to come by.
Why are there so many women in boostergangs in Night City?
A) Gender equality finally freed women to commit murder.
B) Hormone disruptors in the water from industrial runoff.
C) Chronic, undiagnosed cyberpsychosis.
D) Everyone is dosing synth T to be better at business.
E) Escaped gender treatment microorganisms, now feral.
F) "Natural" presentation equilibrium for a chrome society.
G) Gender-equal murderers get lower sentences.
H) Got my own theory about this / just how it is, choom.
Thomas Umblr-Anon: The Communist is a pagan, fleeing at the thought of a thousand isms, which control the world around him and even his own mind.
Thomas Umblr-Anon: The Reactionary, meanwhile, is a monotheist, worshiping only the unstoppable terror of evolution.
