What is “the suck"?
Let's set the scene: it's been raining for 8 hours, and you've been walking for 9 along abandoned streets, heart frozen with fear and your young life on your back, staring at railroad tracks too scared to see if this freight train will take you anywhere but here. The house full of bad memories you want to leave behind, the vengeful parents searching for you, the situation that made you desperate for something, anything, that might be wonderful? Yeah, that's the suck. And this too is part of the suck, the moment when you wonder if you've abandoned every hope and dream.
Welcome to the suck. Keep slogging on, there's some kind of tomorrow coming.
And with new fallpro gear comes Gear Inspection Day!

Reb. Chernov, Reb. Chernov! What does the Talmud say about my situation?
“The Talmud says you're a dumbass"
Poe's Law states that it is impossible to create a satirical statement that cannot be mistaken for genuine belief.
Esvrld's Theorum states that all possible satirical statements already exist as genuine belief.
Len Boobar, who exists as a theoretical construct and holds infinite satirical statements as genuine belief, is a statistical outlier and was not counted.
Ok everybody, time to go to hell where there's lots of black & brown people, gay people, abortion is not banned, gender equality, actual hygeine practices, no Nazis or imperialism, a green planet, and flavorful food. I mean 'hell' for the West!

Ah yes, the blatantly corrupt police chief, complaining about Revy creating paperwork.
And the cigarette kiss in the back of the cop car.

People tell you all the time: don't talk to the police. But why not?
Here's one reason you may not be aware of. In most American jurisdictions, once police have you in an interrogation room, they are free to lie to you if they believe it will help them produce a confession.
What kind of lies do they tell? Things like:
* "We have surveillance video of you committing the crime."
* "We have multiple eyewitnesses who saw you committing the crime."
* "We have a confession from the friend who was with you at the time, saying you talked them into helping you commit the crime."
Let's assume you are actually 100% innocent. Even if that's the case -- if you believe that the police have evidence that could convict you anyway, you are going to be under enormous pressure to confess, EVEN THOUGH YOU DID NOT DO IT. Your brain leaps to the thought that, if you're going to be convicted regardless, maybe confessing will at least get you some leniency.
So you confess, and the cops are happy. A confession nearly always leads to a conviction, and they just produced a confession out of thin air.
You just convicted yourself.
