Use a micro or mini-b.

It feels much more filled out than after the initial exodus. Smaller/niche communities are pretty bare, though.

Last two bosses have gone out of their way to save me from HR over FMLA trouble.

Current boss just took over our crew and he’s chill as fuck.

Going to try to beat anxiety enough to get some shoes and clothes.

Lemme add: breaking taps, thought emporium, and nighthawkinlight.

Gross. Well today is a “losing hope in humanity” kind of day.

Doesn’t seem like an abnormal thing lately.

Being in and driving in super thick fog. The rest of the world is just gone. I love it.

I’m gonna make sure my loved ones are armed and have ammo.

I would agree those are unreasonable uses of force. And bad raids don’t end with LEO getting shot nearly enough.

The comment I was replying to mentioned someone stealing a TV through a window if I’m not mistaken, and that’s what I’m referring to. But if you decide to force your way into someone’s house, it’s not on them to interrogate you to determine your intent. I have respect for people that would risk themselves in a situation they didn’t create, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to force everyone to behave as tho the guy that just broke your window or forced his way into your house is just there for a cup of tea.

You should chill a bit and not make wild assumptions.

Can you respond to me directly with what you find wrong with the idea, or present an actual situation you think I’d be okay with?

I’m talking about clear and obvious aggression. If someone pulls a knife, you’re allowed to defend yourself. You don’t have to wait to get stabbed.

And I would recommend a firearm for defense, but that’s on you. I carry a knife so I can kill myself if I feel like it.

Personally, I’d prefer non-violent over violent means for myself. If other people are involved it would depend - I won’t risk someone else’s life if I can avoid it. I tell my niece that she’s allowed to stab dudes that don’t respond to “no”.

You’re not required to risk your life for someone that’s victimizing you. You didn’t create the situation and your responsibility is to defend yourself and your loved ones.

I’m good with you shooting someone entering your house, but not when they’re leaving. I don’t expect people, especially vulnerable ones, to bet their life that the guy breaking in is a thief and not a rapist or murderer.

There are situations where people have created a situation where you don’t have total knowledge of the future, but acting in defense seems justified.

I think we can quibble over the specifics about what’s reasonable, but you don’t have to wait until you’re bleeding out to defend yourself.

I dropped 60 and only gained back like 20 when I stopped. Taking a handful of pills daily and injecting literal poison weekly now, so I stopped before starting treatment.

My dog is terrific at navigating boundaries. He knows to cross them when he can’t see my eyeballs.

It’s kind of cultural. See some gloves from work at a coworker’s house? Meh. Coworker wraps their body with welding cables and smuggles it out? High fives all around.

It certainly has shaped my own ethics and ideas.

Post-scarcity communism is fine. I’d actually consider the culture just lib, not even left or right. It’s a totally voluntary society. Except maybe for some special circumstances.
