As a person who has unfortunately been forced to use a firearm to defend the life of myself and my family during a break in where the guy had handcuffs etc, I read this as you telling me we should just be dead. if "you’re rich enough to have your own security service " you don’t need a weapon at all. The rest of us unfortunately may have to defend ourselves. I am aware this is only an anecdotal argument not a statistical one, but as the guy who did not have to watch unspeakable things happen to his family, I’m OK with that.

when economy was based on number of farmers or number of factory workers (especially cheap ones) those in power loved them. But honestly even then they where treated as cheap labor not people. Ask Irish, Chinese, etc, etc…

for local coop of course portal and as a bonus, kid safe, - it takes two, biped.

never said i was upset about “Egwene and Nynaeve”. Not sure where you got that. I just remember the one power being more common in the village because “the blood of Manetheren flows strong Emond’s Field” and everyone commenting how Rand looked so different from the locals. They also commented that those in watch hill mixed with outsiders but Tam was strange because he married someone from off. Rand remarks that Mistress Grimwell (Else Grimwell’s mother) has yellow hair, a hair color he had never seen before in his life. Rand sees Thom he notices that he has blue eyes and Rand remembers a time he fought Ewal Coplin because he made fun of Rand’s grey eyes (so we can infer from that this eye color stands out there and Rand suffered at least one episode of bullying). I think everyone should have been dark skinned, or at least all similar. Its the variaty i did not like.

so my sisters Mazda MX-30 has more HP than my uncles Peterbilt 389? cool, I’ll use it to haul my horse trailer. define “more powerful”. Makes the point but XKCD usually does better.

WOT having racial diversity in a village where the book made a huge deal about the fact that everyone looks the same due to isolation and inbreeding. That I had an issue with. This is stupid. It is well established that the doctor can come back looking like anything.

no doubt. major pet peeve of mine, people enter a building (IE store) and just STOP blocking the entrance. I get you need to get you bearings but step out of the wat to do it!

highlander 2. people threw stuff at the screen (university town)…I don’t condone it, but i understood it.

that was the most wasted up vote I ever gave.

this seems to be on point. https://www.businesscompanion.info/en/quick-guides/underage-sales/aerosol-spray-paints even recommends challenge 25.

Also an instructor, and I have never said hello, but I have waved 8 times as he passed.

thank you. the number of incorrect statements by people who just don’t get the physiology in this article was driving me nuts. As long as no CO2 buildup happens, you have no feeling of air starvation. That’s why certain types of re-breather accidents can get out of hand so quickly.

having been through this exact situation, I get the point of the meme, and realize their intent was that “doctor” should be read as “healthcare industry”. Just poor word choice. Other side of the story, the healthcare professionals that cared for him where wonderful and did everything they could for him and I am totally OK with them getting paid for their efforts.

tallying up which side did what and who was worse really isn’t productive here

rephrased…“Let’s not bicker and argue over who killed who”. Serious conversation and that is what my mind locks on. Go figure.

suicide is painless.

they lost me with the casting. Bobbie Draper needed to be bigger.

my understanding is it is not just the "Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance? Warning: The use or possession of marijuana remains unlawful under Federal law regardless of whether it has been legalized or decriminalized for medicinal or recreational purposes in the state where you reside. "… but also the school issue…Biden’s girlfriend discarded the gun in a trashcan across from a high school.[14] This was also an alleged violation of the Federal Gun Free School Zone Act as the firearm was within 1,000 feet of a public high school.
