While they haven't done a good job of expressing it (yet), the g&g series is set in late 2020's California. I'm certainly open to new setting ideas for any future series I work on, though.
Someone REALLY needs to look into the nature of how lifestyle choices affect crime rates and quality of life more closely.
Imagine two cities, of comparable size and crime rates:
City 1 is full of optimistic, slightly naive people who make almost no effort to protect themselves from criminals. People in this city generally feel they are safe, and crime does not impact their lifestyle or behaviours very much. The 'burden' of unsafe streets or fraudulent institutions does not feel very heavy on the people here.
City 2 has a similar or even slightly lower crime rate than city 1, but the attitudes and lifestyles are visibly different. Everyone has home security systems, a big dog, bars on their windows, never goes outside alone or after dark. People clearly think a lot about how crime affects them and how to mitigate it, even if it's inconvenient or expensive. Despite not often being victimized often by criminals, everyone believes they are unsafe and goes to great efforts to protect themselves.
From the outside, these two cities have comparable crime rates. But their lifestyles are clearly a world apart. How is this meaningfully recorded? Is there some sort of crime burden index that discusses this sort of thing in more detail?
My concern now is this is no hypothetical. The only difference between city 1 and city 2 is what year the city is in. They're a few decades apart, but it's the same place, same building, and at least some of the same people.
I won't say names, but we all know what this week's post is referring to. Also, this is the first time I got AI help with a background image (I normally find them off google images or the like).
After the fall of Silicon valley, a tonne of high-value targets made themselves easy hits after being forced to flee. The forces of Anarchy stopped at nothing to seize this opportunity...
The adventure continues. Will these men be deported in the wake of new layoffs + immigration reforms? Also trying out a new 'organization' format.
The Storyline takes a much darker turn this week. The citizenry are escalating the boog in response.
The great boog continues with this next meme. @nikitabier said videos do very well in the algorithm, so this is the first one uploaded that has a soundtrack attatched. This post is also rather relevant to my recent comment discourse in this corner of twitter. Enjoy!
In the light of recent algorithm machinations affecting my account, I'm deploying an emergency, special edition version of a previous meme. I need to see to see how my account performance has changed.
Normal uploads will not be affected. If you too suspect undue throttling or account performance loss relating to recently becoming verified, be sure to comment below.
I don't normally post outside of uploads, but I thought I'd talk about my improvised profile banner. Also, I decided to hand over a whole 6 bucks to get verified and enhance my growth.
Many more uploads to come!
Honouring the conversation I had with @BaneThe76451 earlier today. Hope you all like it!
New week, new meme. The format and my skill in making them is (hopefully) beginning to flesh out. Had a lot of fun thinking up the ideas for this one.
