Bless your heart. I know it was just from my facial muscles contorting in odd ways.

Sorry, why /s? Cops aren't even particularly good(or safe) shots. I would be more worried about them hitting another bystander in their attempts to shoot me.
I'm not saying I would enjoy being shot, but statistically, about two-thirds of gun-shot victims survive(source: the Brady campaign), and, mass of jello that I am, I am in pretty good health since my time wiring barges up over the last year.
That said, this is assuming I happen to be armed and choose to put myself in harm's way, which is another consideration where I would prefer to be harmed vs others. Odds are good it would be because I chose to do something objectively stupid, versus others whose only choices are to run, hide, or confront their attckers un-armed and otherwise un-prepared.
No argument from me. There are places that make me uncomfortable, but all the idiotic open carry shenanigans here and there are just the icing on the shit cake.
Jesus, how the fuck is your comment evenly split on up/down-votes? Shitty parenting is shitty parenting.
Homicidal ideation does not always equate to wanting to live with having killed someone, and a lot of these people are closer to normal than they realize until they are facing potential consequences for their actions. I would posit that killing oneself after doing something so heinous is one of the saner outcomes.
A lot of people experience "fucked around, found out" immediately or shortly after they cross a line, before anyone else has a chance to tell them they fucked up.
Very few people actually carry weapons in public in most of the US, concealed or openly. It's nothing like "most people", or even "most gun-owners". I have a lifetime concealed-carry permit, but my guns stay in the safe, save for specific events.
I smelled burnt toast and laughed, then decided to like this comment for reasons that still elude me... There is a stabbing pain in my cranium and I'm tearing up without knowing why.
Only place I know in the US is CKJ studios in Florida, which seems more focused on shibari exhibitions when they mention it. It's like an "exhibit with class that runs for the week or so the exhibit is running".
Secret Service needed to find out if he had any sponsors, accomplices, handlers, whatever.
No, jackass. People that can barely afford their pets often(not enough) realize they can't afford kids. Getting rid of the pets doesn't make having kids affordable. Its also a lot easier to figure out who gets the pets when relationships sour.
There's just so many reasons almost no one is "choosing" pets over kids.
Came here to dunk on the idea of any positive correlation between kindness and trustworthiness, found a bunch of "holistic" non-sense mixed with good intentions. That said ...
I prefer blunt people and trustworthy results. End-of-the-day, I don't care about intentions and goodwill outside of direct, inter-personal interactions. Considering intentions first over results as a cultural value is a concept I don't often even encounter, but good on you.
I can live with quite a few otherwise substandard things in my life where I know they came from a place of love, but that brakes down versus strangers rather quickly, and corporations? I would sooner slash their tires for shits-n-giggles, or send my first-born off to be raised by sketchy fae creatures, than ever trust their intentions. In my country, they(corporations) are, by law and definition, the worst sorts of "people". They ARE the real inhuman other our grandparents warned us about, made manifest.
All that said, good on you for being so eager to trust and abide. I hope it works out for you.
