i don't think i've ever became friends with a person i had a random
conversation with.

that is too much like picking up a date.

I think that these two sentences say a lot about you.I recommend reading those to yourself a few times in a row then spend a little time reflecting on them. Self-reflection is a good thing.

I was thinking that when I read his post too.. Randomly talking to people is not the same as picking up a date.

also traveling alone is creepy.

That statement is just plain silly. A lot of people travel alone, wheth it's because of work, events, family. Single people travel all the time whether by themselves or with family or friends (like a girls trip to Vegas!). Traveling alone or traveling while single can be absolutely thrilling, it's already like an adventure. Meeting someone while on an adventure? That leads to wonderful stories that a person can tell for a lifetime!

Yep. If I wanted to go somewhere but didn't have anyone to go with, I would

it could be i just am used to being up nights and i'm cleaning my
basement or i'm trying to hunt a prowler.

You're hunting a prowler with a hammer? LOL. Ever heard the phrase "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight"? Hahahaha

You have a lot of prowlers? Is this something you do frequently? LMAO

You make less noise when barefoot. Clothing also makes noise. Do like the first nations folk and rub bear grease all over to keep mosquitos from
biting. No one planning a break-in or home invasion expects to be stalked by person wearing only bear grease and fire pit ashes.

I assume this is gamgee talking.

It's a really really good hammer. When i worked in a foundry I used it to break part castings all day long. so the hammer combined with me being able to swing it like that makes it dangerous. Also most people can't shoot and it takes time to pull out a gun and get it ready and shoot it. if you close the distance you are at hand to hand.

My neighbor is a friend of mine and i could have called him and told him to shoot the guy with his ar15 (he actually said i should have)

You have a lot of prowlers? Is this something you do frequently?

I'm in milwaukee and there's a lot of shitty black people walking around. drug addicts with no souls. people that are really just animals. i'm in a historic neighborhood and the neighbors are nice but people drive through and walk through from blocks away because they think we're rich.

a big ass white dude popping out of nowhere looking like michael meyers with a hammer freaks people out. i havent seen that dude again. and black folks act like shit doesn't scare them but they are the biggest scaredy cats there is when they get out of their element.

btw, i'm sure some people will call me a racist because i'm using black as a descriptor. I was raised by black people and half my family is black. i have 3 black adopted brothers. all my friends were black when i was growing up. they called me the white shadow because i was the one tall white kid out of a pack of black kids.

Shooting is an option for self defense. If you're out investigating a noise, then the other guy's lawyer would say you were out hunting their client. If the other person turned out to be unarmed, claiming to be "in fear of
imminent death" is hard to convince a jury especially if you're a big and
tall store customer.

i wasn't out investigating a noise. i was out looking for the man trespassing on my property.

and if i shot someone they wouldn't be talking. they'd be dead.
especially if my neighbor got him.
and 'other guy's lawer'? this is a hoodrat.

you are talking with a whole lot of ifs. in reality they would pick up the mess and move on.

Well, that way you can move around pretty much silently, ya know. You need every advantage you can get when engaging with "prowlers" - they're very crafty. Also, hammers are much quieter than guns.

If you go for stealth, what you must do is wear a nijna outfit and use shurikens instead. Just wearing a ninja bandana makes you ten times more stealthy.

It's still considered hunting to the prosecutor. You're the one being tried for killing a person on your property. If it doesn't look like a clear, justified excercise of self protection, the law is not always on your side.
In Texas, they have laws that allow you to kill people on your premises after sundown if caught removing personal property. That is based on a cattle rustling law. Even then someone that is trespassing cannot be killed because they're on your property.

The "other guy's lawyer" will come in the civil suit depending on the
verdict. I'm sure it wouldn't bode well for you if you bashed in some punk's head with a hammer. The forensics guys aren't on either side. They tell it like they see it.

like i said, you sure are creating a lot of story here.

what really would happen is the intruder would be taken away and that's that.

I have people i can call if there's a civil suit. there's a lot of people that go missing every year. or he is a junkie and would probably disappear because he has warrants or gets killed by another junkie.

if they dont want to get shot by my neighbor or beaned in the head with a hammer maybe they should stay off people's property and stop trying to break in.

bottom line is stay off of people's property at 3am. you wont have much of a defense physically or in court.

In my late 20s, I was lucky enough to go to Amsterdam for six weeks for work. It was one of the best adventures of my life. I hit all the major attractions, a bunch of the minor ones, ate in what seemed like every restaurant in the city, rode through the canals on a tour boat, went out into the harbor, spent an afternoon at the beach... I do have to say
there are bits I don't remember because of a combination of alcohol and marijuana.

Sounds fantastic!

This reminds me when my ex and I split and I was so utterly depressed I could barely function and I had a work trip to Romania for about three weeks. Let's just say Bucharest was very kind to my broken American heart at the time. It turned out to be a memorable and amazing trip which helped pull me out of my funk quick. And I visited places I would likely never have heard of otherwise.

Lately I read that illinois and New York are trying a "no detain" system
where a suspect does not hget jailed unless they are considered a flight risk and won't show up at court. The woke crowd feel too many people are in jail because they can't pay fees or post bail. Let's see how this works when
their dates to show up in court are missed.

I'm not opposed to having a conversation with random people (that's how you meet people in some situations), but there are some places and situations where it just doesn't seem to happen much.

I was off for a weekend in wine country, and my wife and I found ourselves sitting next to another couple sharing a bench. She was going on and on
about instagram, reach, maximizing her likes by liking other people and
their posts, and on and on and on -- all the things we knew in 2012.

I asked where they'd come from, and she dissmissively looked at me and said "Naah, I'm good". Continued talking about her efforts to increase her
viewers.

She seemed to have forgotten that people are on the other end of those
likes.

Contrast with a realtor friend who can strike up a conversation with anyone, and without breaking a sweat end up finding clients, or someone to buy a friend's car, or a landscaper. It's uncanny.

I miss my business trips to London. Get out of the center of the city, and people are chatty. Queues, pubs, stores, you name it. It was a bit of a culture shock to come back to San Francisco and realize you don't chat up
the person ahead of you in line at Safeway or Starbucks.
