    💯 That's an important distinction: Civil liability determines who pays for the damage, while criminal responsibility addresses whether someone's negligence was serious enough to constitute a crime. And that question absolutely deserves public scrutiny. Automation must not become a shield against criminal accountability.

    This guy can kiss my whole asshole.

    He ripped down the East wing with zero approvals.

    He can sign whatever bullshit he wants. Next president will be doing whatever the fuck they want for interior design.

    I can see how maybe Yusha was like ⅒th as high as Haru was but she doesn’t seem as straight-laced as Haru so it wouldn’t surprise me if she’s like, used to a light buzz? Especially given the “interested in ‘illegal stuff’” bit.

    Yeah fair enough. Lowk if that's what you got out of the chapter for Yusha's characterization, then I might hammer those in harder or work it into her character background more. I've mentioned this before but I'm a garden path writer, or one who writes into the fog. Meaning, I just start typing bullshit and let the story carry me along for the most part. Hardly ever plan, besides just thinking about the story on my day to day and trying to keep the ideas lurking in my head until I can write about them. Hence, I haven't really defined Yusha's character. I actually have no idea where I'm going with this train of thought anymore so I'm going to stop typing about it.

    Probably wouldn’t hurt. I think I mentioned a few chapters back that we haven’t gotten much insight into Yusha’s perspective on all this yet.

    Yusha's perspective is hard for me I think because because I'm still not entirely sure what to do with her as of yet. Haru has her whole "terrible leader" shtick, Perry has their thing revealed next chapter, J'atoh fundamentally only exists to do bits and fuck around with for funsies. Yusha... not really sure. I had in mind at one point that Yusha and Haru would have this whole Brains v Brawn thing, where Haru's the nerdy intelligent one that makes calls and Yusha executes them with her big brawny muscles. May need to push that angle harder somehow. Hmm. In another story I started and never went anywhere with, Yusha's essentially haunted by her past demons and trauma, and while this Yusha is also supposed to be haunted by past trauma, it's not so integral a part of her character here since that would clash with the tonality and dynamics a bunch imo.

    Or a crop field ends up on fire? The latter one could be funny because you could have the entire team high.

    Your influence grows on this story day by day.

    I live in an area with an out of control whitetail deer population. I don't have it in me to hunt, but I'm all for people deer hunting to curb the population. Most folks I know who hunt also eat their kills or give away/sell the meat, so it isn't wasted. A lot of local craftspeople use deer hide and antlers for knife making and stuff and there's soooo many taxidermists. Almost every butcher shop around offers deer processing, too.

    When I was a kid way out in the boonies, the wild coyote population boomed and the pack actively started hunting me and other small kids and killing livestock like crazy. The folks in the surrounding areas thinned the pack when the game commission wouldn't do something about the problem. I was totally fine with that hunting too because I didn't like coyotes stalking me and preventing me from playing outside.

    I know some people who pheasant hunt and it's never bothered me because, again, the corpses aren't wasted.

    My grandpa crow hunted and he took me with him once and II had researched crows beforehand because I was excited. I learned how smart they are and refused to let my grandpa shoot them. We just sat there and watched them hang out and figure out the decoys we had set up.

    When it’s a criminal matter, the assigment of blame is absolutely a public matter. If you or I caused a car accident with irresponsible use of an RC car or a consumer drone, we would be facing criminal prosecution. The fact that no one is likely to face charges in this case is a huge failure of public policy.
