You seem to think your enemies will respect you, lol…

I think you better go ask someone on your opposing political spectrum if they’d leave you alone if they found out you had a gun when knocking on your door to arrest or harm you.

to respectfully cautious

Lmao to quote you, GTFO out here with that

Explain to me how a gun would help you when police or government agents or even just a rowdy local militia come knocking on your door, I’m genuinely interested in hearing how you think that will play out.

I feel like they are being purposely mis-managed to stall momentum. My city had 2 protests the same day a few weeks back and the one I went to only got like 100 people to attend. Why was there 2 protests instead of 1 larger protest?

I know the usual thing in tech and hacker community is usually ‘why not??’ when people question why someone did a project, but this one has me scratching my head when Devilution-X exists. I’m really questioning why someone would go through the effort to finish this project.

him and his friends are buying the stock market dips, it has nothing to do with anything other then him and his friends making more money, and maaaybe crashing the economy for Putin. He couldn’t care less if people buy local and large corporations feel pain. He’s gonna hand them enough tax breaks anyway, they’ll be fine.

Arrr matey. Its the breakdown of society ‘if the people running society aren’t following the rules, why should I?’ especially a giant corporation, and especially a giant corporation that sides with Trump. So yes, pirate it. Fuck 'em.

…not with this administration…

I think this is an offhanded comment, but if you’re actually confused about the saying:

There’s varying levels of trust, if someone on the street tells you something bizarre, you’d probably be skeptical of it and not believe the information they told you.

But if your wife who you’ve been married to for 20 years and is generally a factually correct individual, tells you that bizzare information, you’d probably trust it a bit more and believe it, but its still a weird thing they’re talking about, so you’d probably want to verify by trying to find a news article or google the subject matter to make sure what they’re saying is true. Doesn’t mean you don’t trust your wife, just that the information they told you doesn’t sound feasibly correct, and you want to verify to make sure.

If someone with a PH.D in the subject matter tells you that weird piece of information, you’d probably trust it on the spot, but you also should probably verify with a peer reviewed journal article, just to verify.

Example in the context of your example:

a random person on the street stops you and says your wife is cheating on you. “Wtf? What do they know about me or my wife, I dont even know this person, they’re crazy…”

A good friend tells you that you’re wife is cheating on you. “Oh shit… Could she really be cheating on me? I should confront her and find out the truth…”

The guy your wife is cheating on you with, tells you your wife us cheating on you. “Fuck… This can’t be can it?? Fuck! I should confront her and find out the truth…”

Trust, but verify.

You just reminded me I have to get caught up with that series again so I can read the last book. I powered through the whole series before the last book was released and now I kind of forget what was going on, to jump in again.
