Basegame CS’s traffic system is notably bad - if you wanted anything realistic you needed mods to change it. No clue how CS2’s plays, but I can’t imagine it’d be much better.

Different state, but yes, no stipulations on where the liquour is in the car so long as the driver doesn’t touch or drink it. Fond memories of my early 20s rolling down to the bar in the back of a truck with the pregame still going.

Where I am there’s no statewide public drinking ban outside of schools or government facilities - municipalities can restrict it somewhat, but if I were to stroll down the street drinking I wouldn’t get stopped unless I was being a nuisance or clearly unable to function.

Can’t take alcohol from the bar or a restaurant if it’s open container, but if I buy a 6-pack at the store it’s free game.

I can also go to the drive-thru and get booze from the beer barn down the block, and the passengers in my vehicle can drink all they want.

Seeing it live was a bit of a fever dream - the realization that the intro is going longer than normal + the shift in tone hit harder at 3am

If you aren’t cooking by vibe, are you really living?

Baking on the other hand…

I get why people downvoted this, but you’re not entirely incorrect. The two “sides” do exist, they just both happen to be on the same side and aren’t entirely opposites like “left” and “right” would imply.

Until we see a socioeconomic party platform that wants similar reforms to what is seen in the Nordics presently when it comes to policy, there’s no true “left” party in the US, IMO
