If I can get excited for a cordless Bosch track saw, I can get excited for a nice gun. Guns have served two purposes in my life - target shooting with friends and the meat I get from hunting. I don’t need to take on someone elses trauma and stop enjoying something to respect what they are.
I agree, but I doubt the majority ever will.

I don’t know enough to know if it’s easier to cover up months of subtle and forceful coercion, or a billionaire’s murder. I think that would count as ‘duress’ for the nepo chilluns. This is hard, I can understand why everyone’s not doing it.
We’d have have to use drugs or something first to get them to sign over their wealth. Probably film it, make sure no one thinks it was under duress. The whole process could take months to make sure it looks legit. CIA level brainwashing maybe? I donno, just spitballing. Then just make sure they can’t backtrack on everything by finishing the job.
This is the best thing I’ve read today.
People see men fondling a stature: “Hah! What a hilarious pervert.” People see a woman stradling a statue: “She must want children.”
This is what makes Arrival so good. They don’t want the best person for the job because she insists on being involved, they give the aliens nicknames immediately and everything goes to shit at the first excuse to start a war.
I’m not american. I don’t know what nationality has to do with my statement.
