Enlighten me. What “enormous” double standard did I apply in my last comment?

…did you read my comment at all? I very clearly stated that those are popular tourist destinations that people are still visiting all year round. As in people don’t find THOSE places too dangerous to visit why should they worry about america?

Both of those places are significantly more dangerous than the overwhelming majority of America as I very clearly explained in the rest of my comment.

I don’t think you read my comment at all. If you did you certainly didn’t understand anything I said.

Try again.

What that data fails to properly explain is that outside of a few counties you are basically never going to see a gun homicide in the US. The city I live in has some of the highest gun crime in the country, but it is almost exclusively in a few small areas that tourists would never really go anywhere near.

Of our yearly gun homicides ~82% of it is African Americans killing other African Americans. Often in gang related disputes in very specific areas in a couple of states.

Depending on where someone is visiting they are likely much safer here than in many other countries on average.

Statistics are a wonderful thing, but it’s important to fully understand the data rather than just applying that average to the entire united states without any nuance.

Mississippi had a gun death rate of 29.6 per 100k in 2022.

Rhode Island had a a gun death rate of 3.1 per 100k in 2022.

Both those numbers include suicide by gun and suicide has outpaced homicide for at least the last 40 years.

Another thing to note is that the USA over all has lower gun homicide rates today than back in 1970s.

For comparison Jamaica had 44.7 gun death per 100k in 2022.

The Bahamas had 28.5 per 100k in 2022.

Plenty of people still feel comfortable traveling to those places year round.

I think it would have been a much better film if the audience had also been kept in the dark about him opening her pod as well. That way we can also go through the range of emotions with her at the same time when she finds out.

Just start the movie from her perspective. Pod opening and Pratt is already there. He tells her his pod just opened and he’s confused too. Then we get the whole “wandering the shipn for the first time” montage where they could drop subtle hints that it’s not actually his first time doing any of those things.

His character is absolutely a bad person, but it’s a situation we can sympathize with because being truly completely alone for any amount of time fucks with people badly. She has every right to hate him for the rest of their lives, but it turns out that if he hadn’t done what he did they all would have died because of the damaged engine or whatever it was (I can’t remember).

They could have made the movie much harder hitting and/or creepy for the first half, but they opted to try and make you sympathetic to his situation from the start.

It’s the movie that always pops into my head when thinking about wasted potential.

Nail polish. Couple layers of black and you can tune in how dark you want it

I have told the few people I trust enough that the only reason I’m still here is because I know it would hurt them if I left.

I stopped caring way before covid. It’s just gotten worse since.

That’s funny. I had a teacher do something like this but in the other direction. All the questions had answers that pretty much forced you right into the blue. Shit like “do you think homeless people should be given assistance or should homeless people be shot and dumped into the sea?” Or “I think everyone deserves to find love vs gay people are the spawn of Satan”.

It is worth noting that I went to a very left leaning and notoriously “hippy” private school (against my will). I eventually managed to get expelled for smoking weed and not snitching on all my friends.

I don’t think teachers really should be pushing their political or religious agendas no matter what. School is for learning core basics in various categories.

Banned outta nowhere. I submitted an appeal asking what rule I broke and it was denied with no explanation. 2 accounts. Several 100 thousand post and comment karma on one of them. I had been banned from individual communities for pissing off random mods but never a site admin.

Fuck em. I hope it crashes and burns.

I have a base amount of trust/distrust I assign to everyone. Some people go up in trust and some people go down, but nobody is completely trustworthy. Even my parents have lied to me and hurt me in the past. I love them and trust them more than most people but I still know they are absolutely capable of betraying me.

I mean you are making sense. I still don’t see the issue with keeping a little bit in reserve for those potentialities.

How? Anyone you know could betray you at any moment for various reasons. Simply because it’s unlikely doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Unfortunately if I’m going over a cliff it’s a solo adventure and I don’t plan on coming back up.

It’s just logical.

I don’t think it’s wise to ever trust another person 100%. You should be aware that anyone could turn on you in the correct situation with the correct pressures.

Enemy of my enemy doesn’t matter to me here. Fuck Ubisoft and Elon. They can all gargle my nuts.
