We’re talking about pickpockets, right?
Someone tried to pickpocket me in Europe on the train. I blocked the door and, despite having no common language, I left them know I was aware they had taken my stuff. I’m pretty sure they understood it was my intention to get it back and that was going to be a hassle for everyone.
They just handed it back and left.
Should I have just started swinging?

If I come around a corner and find you putting the boots to someone begging you to stop, you’re getting smoked by the biggest thing I can find. I don’t know the context. Violence to stop violence is measured.
Being wronged isn’t a carte blanche. As soon as you introduce violence, suddenly violence actually becomes the measured response against YOU.

Yes, we can accept that we’re all multifaceted. We contain multitudes. We can love some things about a person, and hate others.
Difficulties really only arise when we choose to make the broadest judgements into the narrowest categories. The whole must be good, the whole must be bad.
I hate how brutal he can be. I love how brutal he can be.
I think people are too obsessed with assigning a binary state to a whole human. It’s downright offensive.
Lol, imagine telling on yourself THIS HARD about how how little time you spend pondering your orb. JFC
It gets harder the older you get, so keeping it linear actually shows he’s grinding harder the older he gets.
Most can’t. Finger built different.
That’s like pointing out that it’s not historically accurate that Ghandi wants to nuke the planet.
It’s so obsessed with UX and negative space, even on a 4k monitor at full screen you still only get like 100 characters line width. It’s a fucking joke.
Problem was it dispersed too quickly in open spaces, it was only effective in confined spaces.
Are they expressed AT CONCEPTION?
The old Soviet builds are pretty Spartan. In fairness they’re like 60 years old now, but yikes.
But, even at that, still a hell of a lot better than being homeless.

To me it sounds like you’re advocating for “tipping” public servants.
