Cypher really was cyberpunk Ralph Cifaretto.

I would guess wealth and population density have something to do with it. Though car ownership rates are also lower in those countries, so you'd assume there would be more demand for alternatives like rail.

That should only be required if what you're trying to do would have a higher DC than you could possibly roll, but the DM humors you by allowing you to try convincing them anyway. Or that has been pre-agreed in session zero because the group is all theater/improv nerds or something.

This is my current job. I've got monthly, every three months, every quarter, once per year... Thank goodness the last service they added has SSO.

1974 is a really odd year to pick. It had a bad housing market with several parallels to today: dropping new construction the two previous years, stagflation, significantly increased housing prices compared to the prior year, high mortgage interest rates (~9%!)...

This image is also missing Block Island, which has RI's sea border with New York state.

Yeah, politics is literally at a basic level just the description of group decision making and distribution of power and resources. Good luck avoiding that in any system/story that is based around groups of players or has more than one NPC.

That clause doesn't limit the scope to only members of Congress or laws they write. Supreme Court interpretation, 14th amendment, etc. have expanded that to government writ large.

Free speech protections generally extend to government employees, except in the scope of speech related to their official duties, to my understanding. It would be difficult to seriously argue a pride flag in someone's office in the past meets that criteria of official duties. My faith in the courts to consistently hold that precedent is not high these days, however.

Gamewells were put up before the wide availability of telephones. So, unless you live in an area that was developed prior to that, you wouldn't see them. The older parts of LA probably still have some gamewells if there are any old telephone poles remaining.

The bathroom in my LGS literally has free deodorant openly available for use, and the owner reminds everyone whenever the store is really packed for an event. Unfortunately some people still do not get the hint.
