I haven't been to a doctor in over twenty years now. For most of that time, either I didn't have insurance or my insurance was so laughably bad and my wages so low that I couldn't afford to use it. Now I've got a decent job and decent insurance, but the nearest doctor accepting patients is over 50 miles away.

Guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope whatever kills me does it quick.

Kurt Vonnegut had a fun take on this exact scenario in his first book, Player Piano.

Dark Souls 2 has a mechanic to swap your character's gender whenever you want to. From is already okay with genderfluid protagonists.

Assuming you are correct, being aggressive or violent whilst being arrested for a $3 crime should be punishable by death?

Skipping a fare should not be punishable by death, I don't care how wealthy the skipper is.

The second was not as tight and really strained credulity in some places, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to season three.
