I have a tongue issues which five different doctors have decided is geographic tongue, and told me “it will go away “in a couple of weeks”. The last two times I heavily prefaced adding “Before I get into it, it’s OK to say you don’t know, but don’t tell me it will go away in a couple of weeks because it’s been over ten years.” Both times as soon as they saw my tongue they cut me off with a “it will go away in a couple of weeks” and refused to discuss it further.

Studying to ace an IQ test shows you’re not debilitatingly mentally challenged, though. I think that’s all the test is really good for.

In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

The number of people who offered me $20 for my $1200 TV was staggering, and one woman wanted me to pay her to take my beanbag chairs.

I never dropped a literally.

I have no memory of seeing a gun in the last three years, but I make no claim to a perfect memory. Surely there were guns at the airport, but I didn’t particularly look at them or notice them.

But again, I am omitting people carrying for work, so I’m not sure why you are bringing it up a third time.

Do you not see the guns on people carrying for work?

I didn’t say I don’t see them, I said I would omit them. As in not count them. In direct response to your question.

I do in fact literally see guns every single day.

Literally every day? Literally every. Single. Day?

Even if there’s a cop on every street corner waving his gun in the air, you’ve never stayed home on a saturday? You’ve never gone camping? Never spent the day anywhere where there weren’t guns?

I have no reason to come into contact with cops, security guards, or soldiers on a regular basis. I can only assume your “literally” is facetious as well because literally every day is absurd.

And in the context of replying to someone making claims against the “average American” carrying guns, I think it’s appropriate to omit people carrying for work, yes.

I haven’t even seen a gun in years. You’re out of touch with reality.

.2% per year? So we should expect about 10% of people to be murdered by 50?

I was going to say .2% is better than I thought, but that’s pretty dire.
