There’s a difference between “using someone for their money” and “I enjoy my relationship with this person more than I otherwise would because they have the resources to provide more things for me”. You can’t honestly evaluate what your relationship would be like without his money, but you didn’t get into it for the money, and it doesn’t sound like you take advantage of him.

Sure, but people just set their VPN to Nigeria and bought their games for $5. This isn’t the cleanest solution, but they can’t just do what you said.

Even when the government just had a couple cannons, Shay’s Rebellion didn’t exactly go great.

That being said, guns aren’t just used for open rebellion. The Panthers sure made it tough for a cop to feel like a big man just because he had a gun. If we want to examine when things get really bad, simply look at partisan resistance to the Nazis all throughout WWII.

Yes, an AR-15 won’t beat an F-16. But F-16s aren’t the ones goosestepping brown people into camps right now.

Y’know, the whole “don’t dehumanize the poor biwwionaiwe’s :(((” works for like, nazis, because they weren’t almost all clinical sociopaths.

Were you convinced the special military operation would be over in three days?

Take over? Not llms. Destroy the world by accelerating climate change? Absolutely.

There’s a difference between “they rode the bus into town” and “you personally sold them a car, saw them rob a town with it, and continue to refuel and maintain that car explicitly for them to rob towns with it”

I would definitely say the middle. Don’t get me wrong, I avidly enjoy bdsm, but most of the “rough stuff” on pornhub doesn’t look particularly enjoyable for any party - amateur has always been better for that sort of thing.

I don’t use Tik Tok, but I believe there have also been some questionable trends regarding choking and other kink stuff being shown in unhealthy ways(constrict the bloodways, not the windpipe, folks!)

State sponsored actors? I’m 30% on that, 70% on one of the kids doing it. Maybe I have too much faith in today’s youth and their capacity for tech.

How long until someone hacks one and terrorizes a school that way?

I will say they are also excellent for high noise environments, but only with in-ear hearing protection in.

Funnily enough, the brakes are reserved for when the children stop being diddled and those doing the diddling stop being shielded from justice

Civility is reserved for those that aren’t suggesting cult shit bud

Then they probably already go to church and the suggestion is pointless rather than actively terrible

Horrible suggestion, the fuck? If it’s already your thing sure whatever but reading “I want to meet women” and thinking “this person should go get indoctrinated” is absolutely deranged.

Belize was the Brits, not Americans.

The tax being on your income and not entirely on corporations always felt like a fairly biased distinction. If companies paid the entire income tax long before it got to you, and you were simply paid ~2/3rds as much, I feel like people’s opinions would be different despite not much changing.

I was sleeping in my parents room, on the floor, till I was embarassingly old.

Turns out I had/have Tinnitus and found the background noise of whatever show they were falling asleep to made it infinite easier to sleep.
