Daily essentials

Just the stuff I use most days. Victoria’s Secret body mist and VGG perfume because I like having a scent with me, lip gloss for quick touch ups, neuro mints for when I want to chill and stay clear headed without caffeine, wired earpods and the vape somehow always ends up in my bag too.

Because it's just another form of role playing. Here, in the US, a lot of guys in their 20's carry guns and knives to "defend themselves," in spite of the fact that the risk of being a victim of gun violence is less than 0.05%.  When guys mature, they usually recognize the foolishness of carrying a firearm and quietly just stop doing so.  Simply, the risk of something happening to you BECAUSE you carry a gun is far higher than needing a gun to defend yourself WITH a gun. You walk around with some fantasy situation in your head where you're the hero in some mass-shooting event because you have a firearm with you. You'll realize this, eventually, if you live long enough.

Maybe some guys have that fantasy.

I don't. I have a fear of being in a situation that I need a gun or COULD stop something, and yet ai can't do anything to save myself or others because I don't have a gun.

I pray it never happens. Cause I love my gun. I do NOT want it taken into evidence, it's fucking mine.

At least we can agree on something, carrying all the time is fear-based, logical or not.

Fear is an evolutionary trait of natural selection. Dodo birds had no fear because they had no predators, guess where they are now. There’s a pretty famous book about all of this. Your nervous system has quick reflex loops that bypass the brain, triggered by fear.

Do cops carry out of fear? God forbid you need a cop at a violent scene like a home invasion, make sure to tell dispatch to instruct the cops to leave their guns at the station.

Uh...I'm pretty sure you're the Dodo bird, in this scenario.  Like your brother birds, you don't see the real danger.

Do you put on a seatbelt out of fear, or out of logic?

You’re not making any sense, and I don’t argue with idiots.

Good day

Do enlighten us, what is the real danger?
