Every chud in my life is obsessed with someone breaking into their house and the situation being resolved with the discharge of a firearm. And these are people living in low crime areas out in the suburbs, with no pedestrians. It’s frustrating to talk with these people since their whole worldview is a racist panic over some imagined brown interloper invading their white fortresses.

One of my coworkers tells me he always pulls out his Glock to check the corners when he comes home in the evening. Another has a CCTV system and an AR15 by his bed. I personally don’t own a gun anymore because I don’t trust myself with one, and chuds will ask me what I’ll do if some mentally unwell person high on amphetamines decided to enter my apartment. I guess I’d leave or call an ambulance? It seems so unlikely of a scenario that even if I had a firearm I probably wouldn’t use it right, or even register this person as a threat quickly enough to do a John Wick style takedown.

How many home invasions are actually stopped this way? Do chuds all think they’re Robocop?

    A family member of mine recently went up to Seattle and described it in post-apocalyptic terms too. Said there’s open warfare in the streets and people shooting heroin in broad daylight. Said he saw no less than a dozen burning buildings on an average day.

    I mean it does suck in Seattle, but that’s because everything’s fucking expensive, there’s no bathrooms, has a shitty nightlife, feels weirdly hostile to pedestrians, and is fucking expensive. Like even Sacramento felt like it was a better city even though it’s roughly similar in experience to me just more hot and worse tap water.

    Maybe I should just say it sucks living down in the lower 48 and I’m happy enough up where I’m at.
