Interactive Education was always my favorite series from r/HFY

Reread the comment above you, because they are claiming the opposite of what you're thinking

I think the difference between our positions is that I believe pointing a loaded weapon at someone should be considered as intending to kill that person, at least until evidence and circumstance can determine otherwise. Because aiming a weapon at someone is more than just a threat that you will use it against then, it is taking physical action to prepare to use it against them.

I also love some pineapple on pizza, but a plain cheese pizza is my favorite

Yeah, Polish currency looks pretty dope

If someone got shot, the rest of it is sort of moot, isn't it? Responding to trespassers by pulling out a gun is insane to begin with, if the trespassers aren't doing anything else to imply a threat. Blocking the trespassers from leaving the property is bad enough, but to then threaten then with a gun is horrendous in its own right. Pointing that gun at them is insane unless he intended to shoot them.

If he was shooting targets for practice and had a lapse of judgement and accidentally shot someone, sure, that is a different situation. If you knowingly and intentionally point a gun at someone and "accidentally" shoot them, I don't see how that is any different than intentionally shooting them, other than the timing of when you pull the trigger.

Final Fantasy XIV has tons of them as well, especially in the side quests and FATEs. The localization teams do a stellar job sprinkling all sorts of references and nods to pop culture.

I disagree with that. Content creators need to adapt to survive with the modern algorithms. Those algorithms are trash and the censorship behind it can eat a fat one, but the creators are just trying to get paid.

Now, bringing that self-censorship into real life, into casual conversation with friends, off of platforms that are monetized... that is what annoys me. Not because they are difficult to read, that's just an evolution of slang, but because it muddies the language and weakens our ability to communicate. "Unalive" instead of suicide or killed makes it seem less serious, less graphic, at least to me. And that's the whole point of why they are using replacements in monetized content, because it is safer, but sometimes language needs to be harsher.

"Just kept tossing their hair and looking at me."

Are we sure the employees weren't shaking their heads at the customer and they are just an idiot? I'm also assuming the doors were already locked, or they would have just walked in, and the hours are typically posted on the door. I feel that should be enough of an indication the store is closed. People don't need to have their hands held through everything I life. Expecting a little independence from them isn't being not nice.

It shouldn't be pushed on people, but it should be talked about to give people more choice and agency in their home computing.

No, no they aren't. Some people were never responsible gun owners to begin with, regardless of anyone's beliefs around guns.
