  • if we do something it’ll be bad

    Opening fire in public is a very particular type of “something“

    Kimmel didn’t get back on the air thanks to shooters, it was loud noise (and louder money). Also I’m not sure how to ask without seeming like I’m egging you on but are you making recommendations that you yourself are comfortable following? I would understand your argument better if you were an armed leader of group trying to convince others they need to be you doing the same as you, but if you’re posting here then you’re probably not in jail so it seems like you’re encouraging others to get themselves embroiled in gun fights/arrested safely behind a QWERTY layout.

    btw this situation is incredibly upsetting and I know your heart is in the right place—we want justice. If I read too much into your comment I’ll leave it here for others who suggest firing at authorities who may have not thought it through all the way, & hope you can see where I’m coming from when you look at the parent comment and then yours.












  • From Adam Ragusea on conspiracy theories (from his blurred Pyrex video):

    Reality is weird and often not as you would expect. That’s why common sense only goes so far. It’s good to be skeptical of the media you consume. That’s awesome. Question things, absolutely. But don’t go and just make up your own answers, as so many of us are prone to doing. It’s fine to speculate responsibly about multiple different possible explanations for something that you’re scrutinizing, but don’t settle on one of those explanations until you have enough evidence to settle on it. Be open minded, in every sense. If someone is lying to you, you’ve gotta be careful not to invent another lie to replace it. Yeah, you outsmarted the liar, but that’s all you did. You’re still dumber than everyone who knows more than you.

    Smart chef, Adam
