In the grand scheme of things, we’re all animals.
Push any of us far enough, starve us enough, etc.
This is why we have self-defense laws. It is inherently understandable that under duress a person (or lion) will act outside of their usual nature to secure food, shelter, or safety.
That being said, this is no way in defense of any mass-shooter types. There is a difference between self-defense and mass-murder.
Yeah, I shave my head fairly routinely (damn genetics) and a bar of soap is generally fine for head, face, and body. Though if I’m growing my beard out past the “scruff” level my wife generally likes, I’ll apply some beard oil there.
I have definitely used some “girly” body wash in a pinch though.
I lived on the street next to a high school.
The primary entrance to both the high school and the rest of the neighborhood was appropriately named Funnel.
Getting out of the neighborhood was sometimes the longest part of my journey, and that was driving from the suburbs into downtown on a notoriously traffic ridden (and always under construction) freeway - they liked to close exits with little to no notice sometimes requiring massive rerouting. Was late a couple times because of that, but the traffic right at the start of the commute was the worst.
A combination of high schoolers who can’t drive, and half asleep parents who need more caffeine or less kids - probably both - as well as pedestrians and kids on bikes. I don’t know about your area, but cyclists in that area did not abide by traffic laws and no one stopped them, so they kept doing it. More than a few people died at that crossing in the ~5 years I lived there.
Thankfully, I usually only saw it bad on my way home in the morning (medical IT, I worked nights).
Covering some other shifts though? Whew, I had to leave at least 30 minutes earlier than I would for a night shift.
I wouldn’t say ALL cats check the physics before leaping.
I mean, they’re impressive as a group… but individual outliers exist. My wife and I have 4 of them, lol.
Put it in front of a group of DND players, or any other table top RPG really.
They’ll weaponize it before the session is over.
I’m a gamer, and I do…
Then again, I’m mostly excited about using CUDA cores for cracking hashes and the like, lol.
Some wrinkles, some grays… Well, a lot of grays in the beard.
I got a genetic double whammy. Baldness on my mom’s side, and my dad (and his father and brother) were gray by 25.
That being said, I blame it mostly on a certain group of people I can’t seem to escape.
They make my life more difficult at every turn.
Their mere existence is guaranteed to give me a head ache down the line.
Of course I’m talking about youthoughtthiswasgoingtoberacist end users.
My last gig was using Teams as its call handler. As in for the help desk.
I’ll just leave it at that.
In an electronics tool kit.
Mostly because the only time recall using that specific tool was when I got my Pixel 8, and that was shortly after release, so its been a minute.
An adult secret I love to teach kids is that none of us really know what the fuck we’re doing either, we’ve just gotten better at winging it over the years.
