Having ridden in Ye Olde Wagons before, this is actually what you should do.

Get out, unload whatever weight you can, and make the wagon as light as possible, then you try to get it out by unburying the wheels and putting something hard for them to roll on.

we had 2x10 boards (and a few small 2x4 chunks) in the wagon and shovels, as the route we were using was through cow pastures and corn fields.

Damn, you've got the shameless doublethink down.

Honestly I can almost hear most of my family saying these exact words.

Truth doesn't matter, reality doesn't matter, their OWN MYTHOLOGY doesn't matter to them. Most of them haven't even read their own manual outside the dozen or so cherry picked verses that they use somewhat interchangeably for conflicting messages, once a week for 45 minutes.

They should definitely get a stepladder before they injure themselves.

She SLAMMED them so hard. They're so SLAMMED right now.

Unrelated, slam now sounds like a form of fusion lunch meat.

USA resident here, honestly even if we flip every R seat to a D (and hopefully some Is and some new party letter further left than D?) I still say keep your distance, clearly we can't be trusted not to go insane every 4 years.

Can't even be relied on to feed it's people.

The biggest fucking joke of an empire in human history.

Having a grimy, fingered little brother is always fun.

Look, he may be grimy, but kink shaming isn't cool. He can be fingered whenever he feels like it.

I fully expect the regime to announce they're arresting ATC personnel who quit.

I remember when an enthusiastic "yeah!" would end a politicians career and mark them as "too unhinged" to represent anyone.

I'm a big fan of the "turn all lights on, make as much noise as possible and yell to whoever is in your house you 'have a gun and know how go use it so get the fuck out'" approach.

Nobody who is breaking in to steal stuff wants to kill you (probably) and knowing they have a chance of getting shot themselves from an occupant they didn't expect is a huge motivator for them to get the fuck out.

If their motivation isn't to steal, and is in fact to harm you, then you have lost nothing by doing this. They already expect you to be there and want to hurt you, so do what you have to.

I'm being cautious enough to not shoot my roommate who got home from their trip two days early, my friend who drunkenly stumbled in after his phone died at the pub, my neighbor who needs help but can't articulate it, or a random stranger who mistakenly walked into the wrong house (this one has happened to me at least 10 times in my life, mostly when living in apartments).

If that ends up getting me shot at by randos there to kidnap me, so be it. I'm prepared to defend myself and my loved ones. The property they can have, but if anyone comes up the stairs they're toast.

My point is there should never be a time when you jump out at someone and kill them simply because they are there.

Besides, one of the primary rules of firearm safety is "know your target and what's behind it" and if you don't know the person you're shooting at isn't there for benign purposes, you don't know your target.

This is manslaughter at best but I'm willing to hear any argument for straight up murder.

Just a guess based on "covid" and "candles", a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.

I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn't smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.
