They feel safe around you, and they also want to protect you in case of attack.

Memories are the junk draw of the mind. They get tossed away with no particular order, and sometimes they stick together or wear down and hard to distinguish. Every once in a while, we’ll open the drawer and nonchalantly rummage through it, but then give up because of the beautiful disaster it has become.

They also said your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.

I did. Promise.

What client are you using?

BAMBOOZLED!

That would intrigue me. Yeah, I’m the guy who would go toward the strange noise.

I would imagine that it might also be that maybe it’s all they ever known, and so t know where else to go. I know that’s how I’d feel if it were to be me in their shoes.

Not to mention the shit you’d get from your crew/boss for losing it in such a way. You’d never live it down.

That’s a Stanley FatMax, and aren’t exactly cheap.

Squid already pointed out that sentence, and I was refuting it. It wouldn’t make sense to include it as it did not add any value to my side of the argument.

While I will agree that words matter, so does intentions. For example, you open with,

Or was he in a cop gang like the gangs that the L.A. Sheriff’s Department has and this was an initiation? …

and close with,

… If L.A. has cop gangs, why wouldn’t Atlanta?

So at first glance it would look like saying “almost as likely” (which is sandwiched in the middle) is akin to scapegoating yourself in the same way people would use “I was just joking” or “it was a prank bro”.

Any which way you look at it, your post suggests that if one city’s cops have a gang, then all city’s cops must have a gang. And without proof of that, you might as well be saying that they also eat our pets.

We don’t need to be making up false correlations to justify ACAB. If anything, doing so harms the credibility of our arguments, and would be on par with the fallacy that if any group does one thing, then all groups must do it too (eg, the political “both sides” argument when someone brings up how one side is notorious for a specific behavior).

All that to say, no need to jump to conclusions and potentially spread misinformation based on a personal bias until the facts are clear on the matter. Otherwise, “we” are no better than “them”.

Some people have no concept of taste, and Musk would certainly fit that description.

It seems to me that Musk is trying to get deeper into politics, and one way to do that is to be a part of Trump’s cabinet. So I’d imagine he is bootlicking for the role. And it’s probably working.

About 40% comes from the government.

The issue with Jurassic park was that it was run by cheapskates that wanted to get something done fast on a budget without concern for doing it right.

You sound so young, and idealistic. It’s cute. 😂

You do know that pretty EVERY company is run by cheapskates that want to get something done fast on a budget without concern for doing it right?

Yes and no. Yes, we’ve been stripped of our ability to protest in any real and meaningful way outside of “voting with our wallet”, but no because even then it’s a futile effort because these sinister people/corporations are so prevalent in our culture that we cannot escape funding them; either directly or indirectly.

Take Nestle, known evil corp that thinks water is a commodity and not a basic life right. Or General Mills, who recently drew the ire of everybody over their proposal to take away worker benefits. And I’m sure there are more that I’m not thinking of; that if you put them all together, would make people very hard pressed to buy the things they love.

It’s hilarious, but disgusting. They need to take him out back, strip him down, and use a hose and scrub brushes and clean him off before somebody contracts some new super disease from being around him.

Not a protagonist. They can dress however they want.
