Wave 'em through.

I think a lot of folks would arm themselves and stay put. Next, I think you'd HAVE to form alliances with groups. Which, leads me to this.... playing this out long term. Groups/alliances would be formed. The groups would grow bigger and bigger. At some point, one group would be massive, and maybe "in control". That group would incorporate a no murder law?

Yes. There has to the possibility of it happening in real life . That's why like, Nightmare on Elmstreet stuff was never scary to me. I'm not saying demonic or ghost stuff isn't possible, but I can't correlate it to being real enough to scare me. A dog with rabies seems relevant and possible to me. So Cujo was scary to me. At least back when I watched it last. Others: The Shining Misery

That's the difference between now and say 40 and 15 years ago. 40 years ago - Media was media. They reported the news. 15 years ago - Media chose sides. Very obvious. BUT they still claimed they were neutral and just reporting Now - Media chooses sides. Very obvious. They don't claim to be neutral. They have taken sides, announced it, and get in the public's face with with it and basically say "Fock you" to those that disagree with their political stance. I also might add that in public retail businesses, the customer used to be right. Now, employees can say basically say "Foccccccckkkkk you" to customers, and employers will step in and also say "Focccccckkkkkk you" to the customers.

well yeah. One person would shoot/murder someone, then a series of revenge murders would take place. Then those folks friends and relatives would look for revenge. It would grow like a virus. Imagine workers at a jewelry store or cash store. Imagine trying to find a worker for a jewelry or cash store. lol. Imagine folks that looked "rich" walking down the street. They'd be gonners. But if they were in public, they'd be packing heat also. So as they walked, they'd be cautious and looking around. But some folks would be stationed in a snipe position. Alliances/teams would be formed. Just thinking about the evolution to that scenario is half scary but kinda funny at the same time. Like, there is no end to how far reaching it would become and how much society would change.

I think all polls are biased. I think polls are probably accurate within plus or minus 12%. I think its absolutely insane that it matters to some folks if this association or that association or the teamsters or national police academy, etc "endorses" a candidate. What does that mean? So and so endorses a candidate then folks will vote for that candidate? Wait what? Folks vote based on someone else thinking FOR them? That's wild. "Having someone tell me how to vote or how to lead my life is much easier than having to think on my own" - Who are the people that think like this?

What murder were completely legal starting Nov 1, 2024? What would society look like between now and Nov 1? What would it look like after?

Finally responding to this - the game wouldn't get out of the 1st quarter. Probably not even the first drive. It would turn into an all out fight. With no one there to break it up, I don't know when folks would finally decide to stop fighting.

nope. cash only. And that's the first time I've been in a TJ Maxx in about a year.

I know that if you talk about stuff, you gets ads,. etc. But typing in a website then getting emails? (when I didn't type in my email) Walking into a brick and mortar store then getting emails from that store? (I paid with cash, I don't have an account with them, never been to their website). No. I've never had that "far reaching" of anything before.

That's what I was thinking at first. Now thinking a tad deeper..... That app almost has to be Yahoo mail itself. I'm got the TJ Maxx and CreateRoom marketing emails to yahoo mail. My downloaded apps through the Google Play Store are tied to a Gmail address. 100% of them. I think the only thing tied to Yahoo in my phone, is Yahoo Mail itself.

I have android. And now come to think of it, the email that got the TJ Maxx and CreateRoom emails, is NOT the one that I have my Google Account (for all of my apps) on. Which, then, my hunch is shot. My hunch was that I signed up for a 3rd party app, and in their terms it said they can grab grab my physical location or the sites that I browse, and sell my email address back to those places (TJ Maxx I was at in person, Createroom I went to their website). So now I'm back to square one. Zero clue.

1.) I went to a fantasy football draft in a friends shop. He had a GIGANTIC box in there. I said "what's that" he explained it was a giant storage wall that his wife wanted but it wouldn't fit in his house, etc. I asked about it. He said it was from "Createroom" so I googled createroom. Next day, I got an email from createroom. I had NEVER been to their site before and NEVER put my email address in ANYWHERE for them. Nothing other than visiting their site. Here is the email I sent to them: "Can someone explain how I got this email? It says "thanks for stopping by" All I did was went to your website. I didn't type anything in, submit anything etc. Simply went to your website and left. Let me know how I ended up getting this email (below)" They wrote back and said I must have put my email in for more info, because they have no way of capturing my email address. 2.) My wife and I stopped by TJ Maxx. She wanted to look at purses. She asked me to go in store with her and give opinion. We go in, go to purses, look at them, talk, etc. She picks one out, we go pay, I pay with CASH and get a paper receipt. Next day, I get an email with pictures of leather purses - advertising purses. I never delete emails. Only archive. So I searched "MAXX" in my email. I had exactly ONE email and it was THAT one. What the fock is going on? I have a hunch. I'm curious if any of you have the same "hunch".

A lot of "fans" griping about refs hurting the NFL because of throwing too many flags. A lot of folks chirp "Just let 'em play!" and are upset with the current state of the game. So imagine they just "let 'em play". No penalties called. The refs job would be to set the ball, measure for first downs, reviews, etc. No penalties. So someone tell me: 1.) How would the ratings be for NFL games if they just got rid of penalties. 2.) what would the games look like? The game would probably be a lot faster paced and get over quicker, right? With no penalties to slow the game down it would be a better viewing experience for the fans, right?

Talked to a guy who works at a cable company. He said "they make an adapter for firestick. Just get that" So....that's what it will be. https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Ethernet-Adapter-Fire-Devices/dp/B074TC662N/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1B5NA0H37KRE7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.GKRsa0UvmT_dq1AQawb3PBsWXlrTrzg9ZRBeIhdxqrxtnsT55F9ebm2H8HAHJNwsT3FHyJbn5YM55O_PrjubwrHSkY_UIROMA8Z7ojsu_xu09Odhk6-ZoViJZUutoFyqSw9t5ySEzHTtjQjJNJw8eB0k7I2kTikTOwzxUlHaS3IQ2EddGdqTov7KTWEo3Sce8GtHHk0pIhK-WPRi6kHsOHSTaccLaLTJirD6NfOTNSI.kQL_SwWriG2l7Dws_6sbC19E10-01kP_DoCyQnuzM9Y&dib_tag=se&keywords=ethernet+to+fire+stick+adapter&qid=1727445627&sprefix=%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-1
