- Comment on Why do cops and soldiers get more media attention than the average citizen? 1 day ago:
Simple there’s a whole lot less military personnel then there are citizens.
Same logic of why do we hear more about plant crashes than car crashes. There’s a ton more car crashes. So the car crashes don’t register.
There’s less military so when something happens to them it becomes newsworthy

Well, if you’re looking for more advice, hit up Sheri’s ranch in Nevada. Plenty of money to be made. Then start an only fans account to draw in more business.

Complete society breakdown sounds promising? I think I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
- Comment on If I shut off the internet how many days do you think it would take before people lose their minds? 1 month ago:
How bad would affect society, it would be pretty much catastrophic. I live in the United States pretty much. Everything is computerized at this point. No Internet access good luck in getting your medical files, good luck on buying something at a store. Stores would not be able to order anything so the shelves would be empty. Traffic lights are all computerized so there would be traffic jams from hell. Now the traffic lights might continue running for a while in certain areas as long as they are not networked, But I have heard rumor that some of them might be networked And if they are, I have no idea if they could run independently.
There’s so many things in this country that require an Internet connection to actually even operate. It’s quite scary.
Most people would lose their minds because society would really cease to function within about a day.
For example, grocery stores would shut down for the day, maybe two Possibly three, until the grocery store owners realized this wasn’t going to be a short term item. At which point they would have the managers of the store escort people in figure out what items they need and then have to hand. Write up receipts to get things sold. They would have to calculate the tax by hand. Many grocery store managers would have a hard time on even figure out how to do this. Within a couple of days, the grocery store shelves would be up empty. Because there would be no real way to re-order food., Grocery store owners would be forced to close the stores. At which point food riots would begin. Because people would be convinced there was food in the grocery store yet the stores are closed and the Kids at home would be crying for food, people would lose their minds.
I’m thinking a week maybe two tops before society completely breaks down
- Comment on Have you done US district court jury duty? What CAN I bring with me to the courthouse? 1 month ago:
This is solid advice. Go to the court and ask ahead of time. when my blood sugar gets out of whack. I tend to slow way down and then just pass out.

- Comment on When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible? 1 month ago:

- Comment on How would a wealth tax affect real estate rentals? 1 month ago:
Is my logic it would reduce the number of homes available for rent. More people would be able to own. Because more homes in the market would be available. But people would be buying them to live in them. We literally can’t build homes fast enough. Every time there’s a downturn in the market building of homes slows down. And that puts us even further behind.

- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 2 months ago:
Being a little facetious: solve your sleep problems, get a solid job, and learn how to sit around and do nothing for hours on end while waiting for something to happen. Plus, if you take a rear echelon job, it basically is an office job at that point. Just with a lot more rules. (/s for those that need it)
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 2 months ago:
lol so true
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 2 months ago:
Kind of an excessive option. Join the military. They will train you to wake up to anything. Someone walks near me and I’ll wake up.
- Comment on how can I train myself not to burst out laughing when I do something really silly? 2 months ago:
I would personally refrain from all of your options as they make you look like you are certifiably nuts.
Better idea is to ask a question back. Do not tell it but just loud enough so others in the area can hear.
“Can I ask you something? How often do you shower?”
Then turn and walk away.
^^^^^ … that might be a little harsh but you can adjust for your situation
