    I wasn't allowed to carry weapons at 7-Eleven. That one time I chased a robber with a broom, everyone on that shift agreed to keep quiet about it so I wouldn't lose my job.

    So you're a Canadian citizen calling for violence against a US organization. I mean, if that's what you want to say in public on a message board, you do you. As for the rest, "most extreme and insulting language." Yeah, I'll take your being upset about that like I did when Trump complained about people being mean to him. You have said some truly awful shit in your time here, so don't trot that bullshit card out here. Well, I'll let you get back to your open discussion about committing terrorist acts against ICE while being a Canadian national now.

    Do workplaces encourage their employees to carry weapons in your world?

    Dammit. Alright, so, if you value your health and you don't want to miss work defending yourself in court, you should probably not orchestrate confrontations with the armed panhandlers.

    In general, no. Das ist verboten. But anything is a weapon if you have a plan and a bit of imagination.

    Well, you should have gotten a better job and improved your chances of being able to kill trespassers, you lazy bastard!

    Resisting unlawful arrest with reasonable force is not terrorism, nor is it illegal. Thanks for proving my point with creepy implied threats, though. :)

    Hey, I'm not the one talking about open violence. You assumed violent actions on my end, I never said such a thing about it in this thread. You, on the other hand, being a Canadian citizen and awfully interested in US matters to the point where you even have a Joe Biden avatar, can't help but comment on every aspect that doesn't personally affect you, while dictating to people it does affect because you don't think they do enough despite having no idea what they do outside of being here on this message board. Then you pretend to get offended when someone like me throws it back at you, as if I would have the temerity to push back at the asshole who is so filled with petty cruelty that he can't leave people alone even when they apologize for past actions. You deserve no quarter, and you get none.

    1. You apologized for approximately 2% of the vile shit you've said to me in the last year. That's milk percentages, buddy.

    2. "Furriners can't talk 'bout Murica" is some cheap Bush-era Neocon shit, and my old buddy John was above that. Courtney 2.0 apparently is not. :(

    What do you think the percentage has been for you towards others? How deep in debt are you if we held you to that same standard?

    I don't know who you're talking about. What I do know is I never said you couldn't talk about the US. What I don't accept is trying to dictate to people living in the US what you think they should do despite not having to live here and deal with the "real world consequences."

    It's not like you care about any of this. People like me are entertainment for you. I could die tomorrow and you wouldn't give a damn.

    @Ancalagon would you quit doing your best impersonation of Flashlight and actually say something instead of dropping dozens of facepalms and "dumb" reps?

    Yeah, that's fair.

    I'm tired of fighting. @14thDoctor I'm calling a truce. You can accept reject it, but like I said, I'm tired of all of this. I just want to make inappropriate jokes and argue about important things, like Star Trek and why the Commodore Amiga 1000 is the best computer of all time.

    Amaris's spirit being so broken she wants to talk about the Amiga is tragic.

    The Amiga 1000 was a good computer. We had a Commodore 64 and I loved it to death. Always wanted an Amiga, but ended up building my own PC in the late 1990s. It's where I got the first scar on my wrist, and I left it because it was a mark of pride.

    1. Fuck you.

    2. Pro tip: The victim act should only be used sparingly, as it provides rapidly diminishing returns. :async:

    3. People like you? Communists? Witches? Diabetics? Drama queens? Assholes? :dayton:

    You've been here longer than I have. You know that if you post your opinions in the Red Room, you're gonna get responses back that might not support your views. You know that if you insult people and accuse them of supporting child abuse, they're not going to take it with a smile.

    You're responsible for the quality of your experience here. :shrug:

    This is going to sound really cheesy, but I forgive you for the things you've said to me in the past. I do not hold onto them any more. I also apologize for all of the things I've said, names I've used against you, in the past. That goes for everyone else here. I really am sorry if I've hurt you, I forgive you for the bad things, and I apologize for the things I've said that hurt you.

    I came back here because Margaret died, and she never liked it when I would argue to the point where I'd become more angry than focused, and so I'm going to do my best to work on that. I'm tired of being angry, and I'm tired of the people I miss getting angry at me. I am a communist, I am a witch, I'm transgender, and I'm going to have ideas that you will think are off the wall. I won't apologize for that, but I did want you to know that I don't disagree with people because I like to, or because I want to cause trouble. All you've ever gotten from me is how I really think and feel. I can't be any other way. To pretend is to create a wall of friction in my head that will not go away, and so I always speak what I think and feel openly.

    I will try to be as accommodating. I'm doing it for Margaret, and for all the other people we've lost and keep losing, and I'm tired of losing people here whom I have enjoyed knowing so well.

    I'm sorry.

    Very good.

    The point is that the extreme-left "Biden's policies are no better than Trump's" brigade simply doesn't have the facts on their side. It is unavoidable to have to do something with unaccompanied minors while you find appropriate foster care for them, but the extremists like to pretend that it is "exactly the same" as locking them up in cages like animals just for the fun of mistreating them.

    IOW: deliberate distortion of facts, to make them fit the desired political narrative, is not just a phenomenon found on Newsmax.
