Welcome! :blush:

I wonder if cocaine dissolves in water. Might be easier to throw it into a water bottle, shake it up, and then pour that shit down the drain. No flush to alert the cops, or weird smell from burning it.

EDIT: Ops just saw your other comment about it being a whole building full of cocaine. Eesh. Sounds like your solution was pretty much the only one: set it on fire and RUN.

Lol Jen I didn’t see this until just now, but it gave me a good chuckle because my dad told me the same thing and that was also my response. Just :neutral_face:

I’d do it, if that was my only option, but just ick. I’d rather use something with some distance, first.

Yeah, from what I read about it psychologically forcing yourself to bite someone’s throat (and continue to do so, tasting their blood, until they die) is what’s really hard about actually killing someone like that. Not physically hard, really, but putting your mind to do something like that requires you to be really desperate, or apathetic.

I can reach the apathy, that’s just a mental switch of doing it and bawling after its over. And desperation is simply I’ve got kids to live for. Ain’t got time for it…so, I know I’m capable. I understood the concept of “it’s the fight in the dog, not the dog in the fight” for all my adult life.

But I don’t live that turned off, to want to discuss it. Lmao

It’s not really strange but… the difference between burglar and thief. Apparently, there’s a slight difference between burglar, thief, and robber.

Does this mean I could say “The guards were there to capture thieves, robbers, and burglars”? I guess, so? :woman_shrugging:

Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. I had to know if Japan having a Space Force would be legal or not.

Really? Is it a difference in money or like geography that they’re called different things?

Burglars break in with force into some property to steal property.
Thieves can be anybody who steals.
Robbers are mostly for banks and they are often brutal and violent.

I guess robbers and burglars are a type of thief :thinking:

It does not cover space war, only land, air, and sea war.

True.

I would think anything involving weapons will be illegal. It might depend on what the relationship is in space with Japan and the US.

Japan is a lot further behind in the new global space race than the US, the EU, China, and Russia in this world. They’re just building up their space fleet.

Right, so it’ll depend what the US thinks of that and then how they will respond. And then, how that will change their relationship to Japan.
