I mean, it's a reasonable place to start at the very least?

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?

I get it, but it has to be obvious how quickly this logic can spiral, though.

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.

To be fair I have infinity more confidence in the system you just described than whatever tech bro disruptor was going to pitch

I feel like these stories provide second-hand catharsis, but I don't know if it's necessarily a positive light.

Do the layers seem to want to seperate when you twist with the orientation of the head slots? I feel like for two of the four arms, you're relying strictly on the layer adhesion.

My gut would tell me to rotate this by 45 degrees... But at the same time, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

You jest but that's roughly the story of the "discovery" of Machu Picchu

Gonna pull out my hair splitting razors for a moment...

OP didn't say more intelligent, they said smarter.

Can one get smarter? Does "smart" conceptually include the quanity of acquired information? Does the quality of thought impact the ability to acquire new information? Does smart include the concept applying knowledge appropriately? Is the ability to do that informed by the quality of thought?

We might have different definitions for a lot of these words, but I think I gotta say "yes" to all of them.

I'm not this guy so I can only guess their experience, but the more time they're able to spend in a mental state that maximizes the quality of their thought processes, I would expect it would help them learn new things and more effectively apply that knowledge. I'm contented to say that counts as smart.

So ya: More think good make more smarter that guy.

Based on this I can only imagine they must have full throated support of the green line which would reduce intra-city traffic to allow for greater available capacity for provincial traffic.

Great question!

Considering how many enlightened geniuses said that they just couldn't vote for Harris over Gaza... I don't actually think that's a safe assumption.

My strategy for overcoming this is to congratulate myself out loud so they know not to answer until I'm done.
