Glad I left ohio this year

I've partied with scientists so I'm not surprised

I have no idea and I'm not saying to ignore that voice, I'm urging people to remember that when dealing with "this guy's a creep" feelings thats a gut feeling, not evidence that he's done anything actually wrong. I still remove myself from those situations too. I give strange men berth on the sidewalk and if they're speaking to themselves I adjust my route to avoid them. I rarely respond to strange men who speak to me even. But I keep in mind that my fear of someone doesn't indicate wrongdoing on their part.

The fear of women in privileged classes is used as justification for violence against members of marginalized groups. Here's a JSTOR link to a 2002 paper on it in racial contexts. Straight and cis women's fear is used to discriminate against gay and trans women.

Calls for people to remember proportionality in fear responses are intersectionally valuable. So, if you are scared, remove yourself from the situation with escalating force if needed, but I will again reiterate the need to remember that our gut feelings are not evidence that someone did anything wrong or had any intent to. If they try to stop you from leaving, that is something wrong that they're doing, if they follow you as you flee, thats something wrong they're doing.

Where are the free speech warriors now?

Exactly. "Unbecoming" from a bishop means "you should be ashamed"

Because the only part of the economy doing well is home values

I worry with the "trust your gut" thing. When you're wary be wary, but preexisting prejudices can and do influence this and do need to be examined and challenged. Noping out of a situation is always ok, and if force to do so is needed to have your demands to step away respected that's what it takes, but a gut feeling is not evidence of danger, but a suspicion of it and that distinction is crucial.

Trusting your gut as evidence of danger sometimes ends in tragedy as this incident shows. This woman was visiting El Paso, saw road signs for Mexico (El Paso and Ciudad Juarez share a metropolitan area), thought she was being kidnapped, and killed her driver.

We currently live in an era of high fear and social distrust alongside low crime rates.

The best deal leaders could ask for is a strong social contract. They don't have to look over their shoulders we don't have to look over ours.

Also the ability to safely leave power. Jimmy Carter got to spend his retirement building houses for charity, Saddam Huissen got to spend his in hiding, Ghaddafi got to spend it being tortured awaiting execution by a mob of his citizens, and Hitler's retirement was spent absolutely ruining a bunker toilet while going through withdrawal. I'd much rather rule with limits then step away safely.

America was so horrified at the sight of bread lines that we stopped giving the bread

Youtube alternative with focus on educational creators. It doesn't have an engagement algorithm and it claims to compensate creators better.

In those cases you arent buying several jugs of gas at once. You're just going.

I feel like I've explained my gut reaction pretty well here. My picture was of some angry feller buying a buncha fuel to do violence. Sounds like you got a different read off the same sentence.
