Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"
the entire CHUD demographic really does believe video game rules apply, where you just bust into a guy's house and steal his stuff and if you go back one respawn cycle he'll be all "welcome, stranger!"

It reminds me when those militia guys occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and then got all confused when they got arrested afterwards. they were literally "b-but we're not occupying it anymore? what do you mean i'm being held to account for my PAST actions??" literal pancake batter for brains

Meanwhile irl the entire community around them is morphing into a networked organism with the goal of harming them in any way possible. I’d be avoiding taquerias, bars, hotels, really depending on service workers in any way whatsoever.

Well they've been brain poisoned by Elon musk and violent video games that have no purpose other than to rot their brains in concert with bad faith actor podcasters

That didn't even apply in Link's Awakening, back in 1993!

it goes along with their belief that if you can taunt a character into aggro you can kill them with impunity and the guards won't care

Which is sad, since even a game as old as Morrowind had it set up so if you stole something from a merchant, the result was that EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE of that item was flagged as stolen to them, so trying to sell them an item you got on the other side of world did NOT end well. 💀
