If it helps at all, I didn't spend my younger years drinking, and I'm still considered friends with most of the people I made friends with in my 20's. However, I almost never see and/or talk them anymore, just because life gets busy, and it becomes harder to maintain contact. It's still hard for me to find new friends and people to hang out with. I believe that particular struggle is a pretty shared experience regardless of what our younger selves did. It's entirely possible that even if you didn't spend your younger days drinking, that "friend circle" would be just as absent as it is now.

I think you're doing great, and the advice of going to the gym and finding a hobby is great advice for yourself too, that's how I met the friends I have now. it's a great way to find people who are busy with life, but have made time in their life for their hobby, and you can share that time with them, and badda bing badda boom, friendship.

What do you mean "go get?" Just pull it from your pocket.

I mean, everyone's got a knife... Right?

Easily opened for sure, but cleanly? I bet not. The knife will be clean and smooth, and satisfying. The cardboard will never see it coming.

Hey buddy, while I share your sentiment, only we're allowed to shit on our own country. You can go fuck yourself.

Rome didn't aggressively expand. It was very unroman to be the aggressor in a war, they only attack in self defense.

It's not Rome's fault that all their neighbors happen to pose a threat to Rome by having the ability to attack, forcing Rome to preemptively attack them in self defense.

The responsibility of governing the territory that was left over after their enemy's defeat just happens to fall on Rome since nobody else was around to do it.

So what? He was impeached last term as well and nothing happened. He still kept on presidenting, doing whatever he wanted, and it didn't stop him from getting elected again. So what's the point?

No, that's not OK. It's not ok for a law enforcer to kill anyone for any reason other than in the immediate defense of themselves or other civilians.

That's not their job. They are not political assassins. They are law enforcement. They enforce the law. The law is not "kill any traitors on sight" we already know how untrustworthy police officers are, they've proven time and time again that they abuse their power as much as possible. It would be incredibly foolish to give them a blanket pass on killing people because the officer determined they were a Nazi.

I think it's important to point out that this is not justifiable because he was a jan 6 rioter, but because he was reaching for a gun.

It's a small distinction, but an important one, as justifications can easily stretch to encompass things they shouldn't. If it's ok for an officer to kill someone at a traffic stop solely because they were at the riot, then it won't be long before it's justification for killing someone at a protest, or just for speaking out.

So good riddance to bad rubbish in this case, but be wary of dismissing a police officer killing someone just because we don't like them.

 

zombo.com was launched in 1999. I remember in high school you'd see the new fancy web kiosk's the school put up just displaying it as a joke. and being locked out of the address bar so you couldn't change it. The fact that this url has been renewed, maintained, and updated with all the advancements web browsers have made in the last 24 years, just to have this useless site still exist amuses me to no end.
