lmao you are so blind. yet even the bronx is going republican now. many more red states than blue now. people are done with open borders and high prices on everything.

A .38 special snub nose revolver and a 12 gauge shotgun in my room, not bedside close though and kept separate from ammo but I can be good to go within a minute.

They are not even in the same league... holy shit you leftist truly are delusional.

@THUMPTABLE: Terrorism can't be any kind of solution to call for.

In some cases, some special priviledges can be afforded if it is necessary for them to do their job. The governments job is to uphold the law. Being held unaccountable for both civil and criminal offenses (criminal being actions that harm society as a whole), runs exactly counter to what a leader is supposed to be.

We have so much precedent of what happens if governments are not held accountable to the law. The royalty comparisons are extremely apt.

Not to mention, there is a difference between criminal immunity and a few special privileges. Because of how the legal system works, Biden could get away with almost anything now.

Pretty boring, just spiders. Only thing (that I know of) I'm irrationally afraid of. Not many spiders around here that can do much to me but cause some discomfort. I just get creeped out by them.

There's things I'm afraid of but I feel that's all pretty rational. Drowning sounds unpleasant. I work with chemicals and steam as well, so I'm super paranoid around that. But I'm not fearful.

A new fear for me recently though is the existential dread of WTF is going on with my country (the USA) and where exactly we are going. I take an interest in politics but I've always felt like, even if the folks I don't like win, we'd be OK; I never obsessed over it. Can't really say that now; things are going bad and going bad fast.

Not at all, I do the same.

I think it's fairly easy to get over your fears if you can ensure there are safeguards. For example, going to the top of a building but knowing there's a railing or window to protect you.

For me, if I see a spider at a distance, I'm actually OK with it. I might even try to make friends with it as part of a self-imposed exposure therapy of sorts.

If a spider get's the jump on me, like I see it crawling across my desk a foot away from me? Ohohoho man, I freak the hell out lol. You ever see a 6'3" man jump and scream like a girl? Get a spider to surprise me.
