I remember when an enthusiastic "yeah!" would end a politicians career and mark them as "too unhinged" to represent anyone.

I ain't buying that shit. I will happily buy two 3d printers, upgrade them, and print a giant coffee table sized version before I spend that much on such a small set.

Aliens have to figure out our vaginas from scratch.

Oh look, a convincing argument for murder!

It really reads like the homeowner was one of those "I hope someone breaks in so I can legally murder them" kinds of gun owners. maybe they no idea what they were even shooting at, but I'm willing to bet they looked out the window and thought "brown skin, must be gangs fox was right"

I will happily ignore people knocking on my door until they go away. Trying the door knob will certainly get my attention but just to yell at you, not enough to grab a gun.

I'm a big fan of the "turn all lights on, make as much noise as possible and yell to whoever is in your house you 'have a gun and know how go use it so get the fuck out'" approach.

Nobody who is breaking in to steal stuff wants to kill you (probably) and knowing they have a chance of getting shot themselves from an occupant they didn't expect is a huge motivator for them to get the fuck out.

If their motivation isn't to steal, and is in fact to harm you, then you have lost nothing by doing this. They already expect you to be there and want to hurt you, so do what you have to.

I'm being cautious enough to not shoot my roommate who got home from their trip two days early, my friend who drunkenly stumbled in after his phone died at the pub, my neighbor who needs help but can't articulate it, or a random stranger who mistakenly walked into the wrong house (this one has happened to me at least 10 times in my life, mostly when living in apartments).

If that ends up getting me shot at by randos there to kidnap me, so be it. I'm prepared to defend myself and my loved ones. The property they can have, but if anyone comes up the stairs they're toast.

My point is there should never be a time when you jump out at someone and kill them simply because they are there.

Besides, one of the primary rules of firearm safety is "know your target and what's behind it" and if you don't know the person you're shooting at isn't there for benign purposes, you don't know your target.

This is manslaughter at best but I'm willing to hear any argument for straight up murder.

Fine, I'll re download it and keep playing...

I'll finish it someday, I promise. (I know nothing of the story)

It's been very telling this week at work.

I live in a very red area and work in a majority red industry. I hear people talking shit about "the libs" all day. I hear tons of coworkers talking shit about anyone on government assistance because the "welfare queens just want free stuff with no work"

It seems that just under 3/4 of the people I work with were getting SNAP benefits.

A box has been set up in the break room so people can bring in food, and others can take what they need.

The shit talking has stopped, at least. No jokes about "welfare queens" anymore.

If I had the money and ability to trust strangers I would hire people to clean my house for me.

I love the loop of "feel bad for not cleaning - depressed - don't clean - stare at floor - feel bad for not cleaning...."

On one hand, I have adhd and depression, and my parents definitely have at least depression. So I'm used to messes everywhere up to and including not seeing the floor for a week or more at a time.

On the other hand, I feel bad when someone gets in my car and I have to move one or two items off the seat.

This reeks of "other people have it worse so stop feeling bad for yourself" energy.

Congrats on being on par with my narcissist in-laws.
