Fun anecdote: a relative, without a hint of irony, goes on about how they deserve to be there because "they used to live there 2,000 years ago"

Apparently I'm an "asshole", "woke" and "antisemitic" for bringing up native Americans...

My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn't come back inside, I wasn't answering my phone, and I wasn't in any of the usual places around the house.

Everyone else? Weeks.

Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?

If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?

Why not just tattoo a number on their arm?

I'm sure there's no possibility that subdermal trackers would ever be used in shitty ways.

Well yeah, if you're trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

As an American, seconded.

I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

The "I'm doing the thing you're doing but throwing it back at you" and "thanks or whatever" definitely is.

They're being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn't necessary.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I'm sure he didn't just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

Gotta start them while they're young! Cuts back on down time for the meat grinder.

Well then by definition, it's no longer secure.

"Tourists hit cyclist and fled the scene"
