And that stops anything they're doing how?

If its not one thing it'll be another. He's not going to allow any more elections. He's all but said so. Might as well kick shit off before his hands are all the way around our necks.

Witnesses who are too far away to see their identification can still see their face to ID them. Undercover cops are a different situation than what ICE is doing and really shouldn't be making arrests IMO. In winter they can take their mask off to interact with people.

If we ban law enforcement from wearing masks, that opens the door to banning masks in public.

It doesn't. The general public doesn't need to be identifiable at all times like cops do.

No, they are law enforcement and should be readily identifiable the community they serve. Including their face. Also being masked makes it harder for the people they're interacting with to understand what they're saying. They lose all the non-verbal communication that comes from the face. Them being masked has absolutely zero upside to the public.

WOW helped me learn to cope with a lot of the social anxiety issues I have. I went from just doing shit by myself and not talking to anyone and being timid about getting on the mic to eventually getting running raid groups and getting elected to take over as GM of the 60+ member guild I was in.

Yes, I was way too addicted to it for a long time but a big part of that through the middle to the end of my time playing it was the socialization factor. It was a "safe" means of interacting with people and just have conversations where it was easy to escape or stand up for yourself if someone was an asshole. Unlike public school where I had to worry about physical violence so I avoided people as much as possible except my small friend group. I learned to talk to people and banter. I learned how to manage conflicts and organize events. I learned how to have constructive conversations with people who were falling short in raids. All these things which I was able to bring into real life. It also gave me more opportunities to talk to women platonically which I think contributed to me not becoming an incel because I definitely fit the demo of someone that should have happened to.

As I got more confident I eventually got a job and started doing more stuff in real life and that got me off WOW and video games as a whole are a much smaller part of my life now. Would it have been better to go to therapy? Maybe, but I didn't know where to begin with that. I really don't think I'd have turned out as well as I did without that game.

Who could they show it to?!

Their rich amoral friends on their private islands that don't have law enforcement. But how random poor's would ever get in touch with a billionaire to sell the jewels I don't know.

Having to update everyone on my new number would be just as annoying and wouldn't even eliminate the spam problem.

I would be farming and building shit to automate my life as much as possible.
