Great. Now I have to watch that movie.

Here’s a perfect example of just how indoctrinated these people are from The Daily Show https://youtube.com/shorts/w_Ve3_dwlbs

I appreciate the thought and desire to improve things and a rational response. Unfortumately, we’re not dealing with rational individuals. They will not accept any views contrary to their own no matter how much factual, verifiable evidence you put in front of them.

They will excuse any behavior someone on their side exhibits and will deflect to immidiately talk about something dems did. If they provide a valid example, and you say, “Yes, and that person should also be investigated and punished,” they still won’t admit that their guy did anything wrong.

This is a cult and we aren’t just saying that. So you can’t just talk them out of it. While some of their views may be valid, they often seek extreme measures to enact their views. Even their good ideas are soiled.

I’m totally willing to sit down and have a conversation with a conservative, but I draw the line at blind idolatry.

No that’s an orange. It’s what we call the things inside our body.

No, that’s original. It’s just another way of saying “living thing”

And yet they say the left is radical. I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

And instead of “how do we get the intruder out of the house?” the question these fascists ask is “Why not just let the intruder live there?”

Oh, someone finally found the liminal bathroom. How unsettling.

You should have heard what the aliens were saying over voice comms. Their burns were so complex that even NASAs best could understand them.

I like your world where Aliens exist, but our only interaction with them is children controlling the turrets on a toy car.

They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.

So is their position that deception via impersonation is free speech?

Don’cha know

Gorilla. No doubt in my mind. It’s a hell of a lot easier to keep track of where one gorilla is compared to 5 black snakes.

One gorilla will probably ignore me as long as I keep my distance. Keeping distance and even putting a wall or 3 between you and the gorilla is trivial in a place as large as a mall.

On the other hand, snakes might mostly ignore me, but since I don’t know where the fuckers are, it’s a lot easier to accidentally startle or threaten one.

My new best friend friend Coco isn’t coming through pipes, air ducts, holes in walls, etc. Big strong boi isn’t hiding in the corner of a closet waiting to bite me as I reach in to grab a snack.

I’d go to the food court, put out a cornucopia of food, make sure the gorilla sees me leave it there for them, bow respectfully and slink away, then spend the rest of the 24 hours clear on the opposite side of the mall.

This all assumes that the gorilla isn’t enraged for any particular reason or starving. But even if so, I think gorilla is the safer answer, just the evasion technique changes.
