Sounds exactly like how in music "R&B" is just the record label's way of saying 'black people music'.

How can they not get more than 1400 suspects?

The reality is that even if we go full idealistic true believers that think that the system works as it's described and intended (assuming the US justice system), the whole justice system really doesn't have the resources to go after every single person, and would rather go after those that they can be sure the charges would actually stick.

It's kinda the same way with where if every single person accused of any crime refused to take a plea deal, and went to trial, the entire system would be bogged down to the point of being non-functional.

Don't they have payment information, IP addresses

Payment info could easily be stolen cards. As for IP addresses, those can easily get semi regularly rotated around, and I highly doubt ISPs are in the business of keeping a history of who had what IP at certain dates.

It's been pretty clear that not a single writer knows what to do with S31 post DS9, though what do you even do with a thing that was created to be a foil to an idealistic to a fault doctor that plays in a heavily james bond coded holodeck program.

Because it is peak white liberal performative nonsense to change the name. It's exactly what every white city dwelling liberal does when they find out something has a dark past, they change the offensive part (or do an overreaction, an example could be made for the prime directive in star trek) then pretend everything is still all hunky dory while doing effectively nothing material.

Maybe I've just had too many encounters with liberals who just never really cared at all to begin with to say that.

Yes, because it's bourgeoisie decadence.

No I will not explain.

I know a lot of people in rural communities absolutely think cops are practically useless, hell we had a case here that a police dept in a small town 10mi north of me got busted for corruption this past year. And everyone pretty much cheered that they got busted because they had really bad rep.

But these people also seem to think big cities are crime ridden hell holes and cops are necessary there.

There's a lot more of these out there, with the exact same box and graphic design. From what i've been able to find just from 5 minutes of searching is that they're made by Late For The Sky Production Co. When I saw the picture in the OP I instantly recognized the design of it from the one that was made for the small local city where I live.

Meanwhile in manufacturing: "First time working 6 (or 7) days a week?"

edit: I sympathize with anyone having to work a 6th day in a week under normal circumstances, but tbh my ability to sympathize goes out the window when I'm staring down a 6 day week this week, and had a 7 day week last week.

The same reason why it's rare to ever find interesting stuff at yard sales, thrift stores, and flea markets anymore. The internet and that nearly everyone having a phone has made people a lot more aware of what they have, and if not that the existence of flippers. People who make it their life mission to be as close to a leech on society as landlords are. What they do more often than not is find someone who doesn't know what they have, buy it off them, then fix any minor issues, then flip it for a lot more than they paid and put into it.

As someone who likes mech games, the amount of times that I hear all about how they have "bad controls", while I'm sitting there pointing out that's the point is just too much. Mechs/mecha are inherently complicated machines, it should feel like it, and so called "bad controls" is imho the best (and only good) way to convey that.

For an example of this go watch the number of people go off about having to learn how to move efficiently in any Armored Core game before Nexus, or the people who can't wrap their heads around a simple concept of 'tank controls' in mechwarrior.

So because of a little game called John Halo and Joe Chief: Building Inspectors, nearly every dev that makes a mech game now feels the need to put in a standardized control scheme to attract the players who want the aesthetics of a mech game but don't want the things that make a mech game a mech game.
