Show them a gun and you better be prepared to pull that trigger the moment they see it, because you're going to die.
In a tense situation where there's been some minor violence, a gun will immediately escalate things to a lethal level.
Stick to what I said and don't make up stuff in your head please. I'm not against forceful opposition - rocks fly, things catch on fire, barricades get erected.
But don't give them an armed conflict where they will 100% win, and much more easily spin it to fit their agenda.
That's exactly what the Hamas attacks did - those fucking morons opened the door and put down a red carpet for Israel to get away with launching a full out "justified" war.
Flashing a gun at those GI Joe wannabes would have triggered their tiny brains to go into shoot to kill mode, and it would have been a massacre.
These dimwits are trained for full blown military responses. That's easy for them, they have the gear, the training, and the psychopaths to shoot on sight.
What they can't handle is massive civil disobedience, because they can't arrest 100k, 500k, 1 million people who are out there lawfully protesting.
But it's nutjobs like you, or that moron who sped their car at the agents, who will fuck it up for everyone.
Don't bring your gun. Keep it at home, and if shit gets to the point where they start killing people, then defend yourself.
I'll disagree. An altered state of mind is altered, by definition, so it's not like people are in their perfect mind. I'm not saying that they should in any way be excused of consequences for their actions, just that an altered state doesn't fully represent who they normally are.
As for conditioned responses, they are learned, yes, but they become an automatic neural response to a stimulus.
We can become aware of these responses, and actively work to inhibit it, but it's an active effort to suppress the ingrained behaviour and when impaired, this suppression would fail.
Good thing that was the giveaway, and not the "nice dick" edit, because I'd like to point out that it's perfectly normal to compliment an acquaintance's dick or give it a suck.
True, that ball was already rolling when the Brits kicked it, but my point is that it didn't stop being kicked afterwards either. Or to this day, really.
It said the White House had conflated that incident with a “completely separate” report by BBC Verify, the corporation’s factchecking team, which found a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. “This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting,” it said. “Conflating these two stories is simply misleading.”
BBC is misunderstanding this. They didn't conflate the two separate things intentionally.
I fully believe they did it out of sheer incompetence and ignorance, and when they realised the mistake, they did what they always do and doubled down on it. The dimwits who elect them will get confused otherwise.
Ok so my understanding is that NaCl, and other salts, are bound together by ionic bonds.
In these bonds, one element typically gives up an electron completely to the other, as opposed to covalent bonds for example, where the electron (or electrons) are actually "shared" between the atoms.
So here, sodium is happy to give up its electron and live its life as Na+, while chlorine will gladly take it and become Cl-.
Since they now are oppositely charged, they kinda stick to each other because of electrostatic attraction, but not like the atoms in a molecule would.
Like if you're dropping it at a post office and praying it'll get to where you need it to, which makes it rather remarkable that it actually does get there.
