  • Explain to a very angry drunk person that swinging on someone is a bad idea. Get back to me when that works.

    Yes no fukin duh ideally no one would swing in the first place. Unfortunately not everyone is sober and of sound and ration mind. With no mental or behavioral issues that could impede their ability to make that call before they do something stupid.

    I would love this to be a fairy tale wonderland where everyone gets alone and no one has cause or reason be it rational or irrational to harm another.

    But we don’t. So we can only live be the hope that those of us who are rational don’t go over board, and those who arnt don’t get fucked over by one bad decision.








  • If you swing on someone expect for them to swing back.

    You hope that they’ll be reasonable and proportion the violence in return in equal measures to what you delivered.

    Sometimes you hit the guy with PTSD he flips out in absolutely rocks. Your s*** though.

    This is why you don’t hit people. You don’t know what they’re going to do. Humans are animals and sometimes they have issues.


  • I’m more in the side of equal right equal fights. Man or woman if you assault someone expect to get hit back.

    A normal dude slapping a construction worker is also likely to get laid out flat. Same logic between most men and women. Everyone is built different and if your goanna swing be prepared for the other person to not hold back.

    But the rise of videos glorifying it is disgusting. It goes well beyond equality, reason or fair defense of self.

    It’s just fucking glorifying violent for the sake of it most of the time. It’s awful.

    And to be clear I’m not saying if someone slaps you, you break their nose or some shit. Reasonable response when possible and it almost always is.

    But violence spirals fast and hard. And some people are genuinely a lot more jumpy then others. You never know what the other person’s idea of a proportional response is going to be till after you swing.

    That first response is very rarely. One out of rational thought. And trying to judge that first response as if it did have rational thought in it is typically not fair.

    Now if they keep swinging or something that’s clearly gone beyond that initial. Oh s*** swing response.

    Context matters.


  • Because you start with one to set the example then spin out from there.

    It’s very rare and very hard to just blanket regulate something up front before you have examples of failure modes into the problems.

    It kind of ties into the whole concept of innocent until proven guilty.

    Nothing is allowed to ever create a problem. Then you stifle innovation change and improvement way too hard.

    The problem is the lag time from the new thing to the regulation being put into place and all the damage that can be done in that lag time.

    It’s why the saying the law lags behind new technologies is a thing.

    It’s one of the few things we have to just accept if we want to have progression. We are totally allowed to though b**** moan wine and cry that it takes way too long for the reaction to happen cuz it does.

    It’s an excusable for how long that lag time is. Some lag time is unavoidable, but it does not need to be as bad as it is.
