And zoom, for all intents and purposes.

I think we have a period of adjustment to go through but ultimately, global instantaneous peer-to-peer communications will turn out to be a real positive, I believe.

Meh, do what you want. I'm not your mother.

You say cave as if this was a thing they weren't surreptitiously in favor of.

From what I saw in 2020, the regular police weren't using them. Maybe someone put them on ebay.

Seriously though, it seems there's probably something under that paint/tape. Anyone get a rear-view pic?

We have ramen at home.

Don't. It would be immediately infiltrated. There does need to be some organization though. It just won't look like this.

Y'know, I'm not big on the income inequality thing but when you're left to rot in a ghetto shithole neighborhood because that makes you an easy dem vote and you get to look at those skyscrapers all day... Let's just say I'd be a bit discontented as well.

The context I see is deadly weapons in the hands of coked and boozed up idiots pretending to be other people for money in a situation where nearly everything else is fake anyway. "Using what's between my ears" in the context of people like Alec Baldwin...

But we've been around this more than once anyway. I'll try and leave you with the last word but no promises.

I'm sure you think you did. You should probably declare victory and go home now.

Oh, I forgot to add a jab about you apparently thinking optical illusions break the laws of physics earlier so I'll just slip it in here.

Show me you got nothing without telling me you got nothing.

Not much more "inside the box" than "that's the way it's always been done", bucko.

I did it for my own amusement.

You must be used to dealing with some really thin skinned people if you think those insults count for anything. Try harder. Maybe you'll eventually be able to effectively disguise the fact that you have no argument besides "I'm special" (which you are but not in the way you think).

Putting "Front" in the name of any organization is a big red flag.

You've written nothing worthy of reply.

Probably after they did a bunch of click-and-drag when electronic documents were getting going in the 2000s and all it did was put a black box over the text which was easily removed.

Trust the science! Which, uh, we're not going to let you see.

Sponsored by Pfizer.

My wife went crazy for handwashing immediately following the birth of our first. Her hands became cracked and sore and probably more at risk of infection. It's best to be judicious.

I saw some Australians singing something similar recently.

Christianity has evolved to be much more benign over two millenia as it contained the seeds which gave birth to enlightenment liberal ideals. Radical Marxism is just plain vile from the ground up.

In thrall to the teachers' union.

So far, all you've brought to the discussion is attempting to belittle and ridicule me, naked assertions that I'm wrong. I don't know about Alec Baldwin but your chamber is certainly empty.

Shooting someone requires a sequence events starting with a working firearm, having a bullet in the chamber, pointing it at someone and then operating the firearm. The rules are designed to reduce the risk factors here by removing as many links in that chain as possible. Hollywood's ironic chase for "realism" (and I can only assume you haven't seen any of the near-perfect replicas out there or you wouldn't talk the way you do) brings that chain of errors down to a single mistake. That makes such a shooting not only not unlikely but pretty much inevitable.

And FWIW, as stated, I've already been convinced change my mind on this once so I suggest you re-examine who is bullheaded here. And if you're going to reply, try to dig a little deeper because, honestly, it feels like you're only bringing a knife to an Alex Baldwin movie production.

Good point.

Dude, I do understand how it works. You're not telling me anything I don't know. I even thought the same way as you at first. And then I took a step back and looked at the actuality of the situation.

The truth is that everyone thinks they're a special case until suddenly a friend or relative is lying on the floor and bleeding out.

Anyway, I wasn't looking to convince you, just seeing if my assessment stood up which given that the summation of the counter appears to be "this is the way that it's always been done", I think it stands.

Maybe one designed to look like some lefty deal. Perhaps if you take all the red letters it spells "Trump won".
