No idea why you are being downvoted but these are the times when things just don't feel right. I was downtown at a festival and there was some mounted police and some guys playing with fireworks and its been awhile but there was something else where it was like. I can totally see this being a news item about a riot the next day. So I went home. Nothing happened. No riot. But I would do the same if I felt the same. This has come up again and again and I have talked about some things my wife had to. Someone put something in her drink and luckily she got home fine but she talks about how even before that things were wierd. woman should follow the wierdening way even more honestly.
The same account asked the same question like four times in this thread. Weird behaviour.
Bot behavior.
Look at their history and it's clear they're not a bot. The definitely transgressed against the social norm in this thread asking four times like that, but they aren't a bot.
I mean wanting more detail is fair I think at least in the case of my reply.
