They were using their BS lists based on proven bad data to target people. They were using helicopters and armed agents to swarm peoples homes in pre-dawn raids. Dragging people out in their pajamas. So, not ICE at the polls like ppl have feared. DHS at your door.

Study: ~350 students were surveyed on why they game and how they feel after: 64% use gaming to cope with stress. Playing for story, social connection, or escapism predicted more positive feelings. Playing for autonomy/exploration cut negative emotions the most. doi.org/10.3389/fcom...
