HVAC has no right being this entertaining and yet here I am. Again.

I think this could be more obvious if you work in handing your son a book with a tear in your eye or something. Great premise though!

I'm not asking you. I'm phrasing it as a question because it's one of the most blatantly obvious answers to your question. A taser is better unquestionably when someone is coming after you with clearly not a gun. Yes. I'm not trained but I have enough common sense to realize that not killing someone who's chasing you with a clearly non lethal weapon is much better than killing them.

Maybe don't take a job of protecting and serving if a kid with a gardening tool is a bit too frightening for you to handle non-lethally.

That sounds more like a racket than a jobs program.

That response:

Not gonna lie, I thought Alabama Senator meant she was on the Alabama State Senate. Which made more sense but it still does make sense now that I know, sadly.

Same, actually. Not sure why this garnered a downvote.

[–] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not sure if she's lying deliberately as much as she's just that ill-informed and uneducated, and rewarded for shooting from the hip (sometimes literally). It's part of the way these ideas and groups self-perpetuate.

But yeah, intentional or not, it's the bullshit asymmetry principle as well. It takes 10x the work to debunk bullshit as it does to create it.

So you think he's 1100x better than Jos?
