In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.

In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don’t know what Oklahoma’s is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.

Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn’t difficult at all, not to the level where I’d complain on Facebook to say it’s “difficult”. Maybe it’s difficult if you were homeschooled and weren’t taught a lot of the public school way of thinking.

And it’ll be ashame to do it in small conservative towns.

They said the same thing in my city.

Then they stopped patrolling/enforcing anything.

And surprise surprise, violent crime actually went down.

Now they go around harassing homeless people because they don’t have anything else to do.

This is it honestly. When people slow down police/ICE, it creates a distraction.

When they’re arresting grandmas and choking old people, causing a scene changes their focus and lets those people leave unharmed.

This is actually a great idea.

Cops ticketing random people? Put on your ICE uniform and watch them wave you by.

Huge line of people at a restaurant? Put on your ICE uniform and watch the line separate.

Gotta take a dump? Put on your ICE uniform and shit on the floor.

It’s crazy how many cool local arcades exist on the West Coast of the US.

I lived in the East Coast and they’re all shitty chains like Dave and Busters, selling you $20 microwaved chicken wings and watered down beer, while charging you $3.42 in D&B Fake bucks to play Mortal Kombat 3.

While West Coast, you spend $10 to play hundreds of SNES games and they give you a bowl of Fruit loops and milk so you can relieve your childhood.

Johnathan Blow comes to mind.

Peter Molyneux is still top tier delusional, and has a lot of incredible popcorn material.

I don’t know the drama completely, but the Star Citizen folks. Don’t have any names to rattle off.

I hate that you were down voted but you are absolutely correct.

There’s no agreed definition of indie.

Back when I worked marketing and would attend GDC conferences, there were awards for “Indies” that had 30 people teams financed by major companies, competing against 1-2 people teams who took a loan against their house.

It’s stupid and frustrating.

And now, with Dave the Diver, it’s just highlighting the truth - Its always been a vibe, a aesthetic. You just have to make it look indie, and call it that.

Whatever definition you hold personally doesn’t matter.
