[ Posted to the Mirror net. After talking to a couple of people about his situation, some of them did point out Sasaki was being kept under government’s thumb. others have pointed that out before, but they never made it sound like it was a bad situation. Only recently. Everyone is so paranoid )= ]
This isn’t new and in case you didn’t know: I am biologically a ghoul and that means I can only consume humans. If you have questions, I can answer but that’s not why I’m writing this.
It’s not that difficult for a ghoul to find food, and I’m not talking about hurting people; I would never do that. You have morgues, cemeteries, suicides and humans killing each other. However, it's illegal; you cannot steal bodies, you can’t temper with murder scenes, and people wish to bury their loved ones.
The government knows my dietary needs and that's why I can’t just tell them I’ll handle my own diet - because that’s the same as telling them I’ll do something wrong. They told me if I was registered, I can have access to bodies donated to science; if I’m not registered, I don’t and thus I’d go back to the first part of the issue: they’d know I don’t have access to their food, they’d know I would have to get it somewhere else, and they’d know whatever I would do in order to get it would be considered wrong and illegal.
I’m registered because I need to eat. This is the sole reason why Kaneki was registered, and he hated it because he felt like he was pledging alliance to a government only just so he wouldn’t starve. Myself, I’m used to this because it’s the same sort of agreement I have in my world: I’m allowed to live and eat and be treated as a human, as long as I work for the CCG and obey their orders.
It’s true the government here could force me to obey them if they wanted, and I would do it. And some of you find that awful, I know. But let’s be honest, what other choice is there? What would you do in this situation? Still , the government hasn’t given anyone orders, and honestly – perks aside – I still don’t see the big difference between registered and unsettled.
So I do wonder, what’s the difference? What makes you decide you prefer to be unsettled and not registered? Or the other way around (besides the benefits). What's bad about one and another, or good?

Why doesn't the government shut the machine down?

America used the machine to ask people to come. Emphasis on 'ask'. That was an important word, since it was completely absent from almost everything else now.
Lachesis did this because Lachesis always did this. An AI is a computer program that's alive, as Kidou understands it, though he was pretty sure they were firmly established in the realm of science fiction until now. Someone programmed it. It was doing what it was supposed to. That made some sense, though he didn't quite get why.
But the other AI is a complete mystery. Was it programmed to do this, too? If the American government didn't want this, who did?]
The second AI... I can't understand its reasoning.

About that, I have another question. Why is Russia at war with America?
private; text
There was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they were preparing for a large-scale conflict. It'd end with USSR disbanding, the Berlin wall falling, and some other events that came out of it - but here, that never happened. The cold conflict continued.
At the beginning of this year, it escalated. The Soviets kidnapped 50 imPorts and after they were saved, the Soviets actually invaded American soil and took over the Porter cities. This take over lasted a week.

But some of that sounds familiar.]
I know some about the Cold War. I'll read about it more here.
What do you think we can expect next? I know that America attacked one of Russia's cities after that...
[He can't make himself say bombed, or destroyed. He just can't.]

USA never actually did anything to Russian territory or attacked them directly. In fact, they said it would not be the end of the backlash, but nothing happened yet.

That was at least reasonable. That could be dealt with.
But this? He'd just assumed, somehow, that it had to be a Russian city because it was a conflict with Russia... or just not listened to ... hell. He doesn't know. He'd wanted to really believe it was just between America and Russia, probably. That wasn't right. Nothing about any of this was right.
America, who he's got an agreement with seared onto his wrist...
He wants to set down the communicator and go outside for a while. Kick a soccer ball around. Find something to do. But he knows better than to dig his head in the sand about this. Even though even Kidou's starting to want to. This is way over what he knows how to deal with.
He's glad this is over text when he replies with a question he doesn't want to consider, but has to.]
Is it possible they have done something we don't know about?
private; text
But he isn't blind. He knows some things are messed up. Very. ]
Yes, it is. Like any government, they do a lot people don't know.

When Russia kidnapped ImPorts, did they target registered people?

I appreciate your answering my questions.
