Sure. But from my philosophy, everyone is to some degree. The issue becomes what they do with it.

My hot/shit take. It's not ableist to say any disability makes you uncomfortable. Everybody is entitled to their feelings and discomfort is one of those. What makes it ableist is how you manage that feeling. If this ex-friend as you detailed stats trying to poison other friends against you, that's bad. If they try to limit only their own interactions with you, even if it costs them friends or otherwise enjoyable times, in an effort to not sour the mood of the group or to avoid their own discomfort, that's OK.

My philosophy is that everyone is at least a little bit bigoted. It's simply a matter of to what degree but more importantly how they manage it. If someone is purely racist down to their core, but they do everything they can to avoid minorities and don't try to spread their views, that's not terrible. If they understand it's wrong and try to minimize their impact in that regard, I think that should be allowed. I wouldn't necessarily say applauded, but certainly not condemned.

Do they? I'm not convinced some of those idiots aren't completely surrounded by sycophantic yes-men. They have been convinced they are worthy. My only hope is that the power vacuum on his death sucks them all into oblivion with infighting and back stabbing.

If we want to go chemical just slam them with anesthesia followed by a fuck ton of morphine.

Drug companies making morphine and anesthesia drugs won't sell to prisons for exactly this reason. They don't want to be associated with the death penalty.

Where's the jorn when you need it?

Except before they were unapologetic because they could at least feign a moral compass despite knowing they were wrong when they were in the spotlight. Now they aren't apologetic because they think what they're doing is right.

Honestly I think my dog might be. Very particular. Likes routine. Has sensory related triggers. Always finds the dark secluded corner of things get noisy in the house.

Which one of their Gomer Pyle's had a negligent discharge and now they're blaming it on random people?

A tip is absolutely not "more than a hunch". I can't recall all the finer details about what elevates a tip from essentially "random gossip" to RAS or even PC, but it's not as simple as cops receive a tip means they can search you.

Different levels of search. A "weapons pat down" does not constitute a search requiring a warrant or probable cause. Even then a weapons pat down can only be initiated on a detained or arrested person. The former simply requires "reasonable and articulable suspicion" that crime is afoot. That's a lower bar than probable cause but should be more than just a hunch.

Because it was found by people in society. It was given value within an established society. I'm not saying no one will value it. I'm saying that until there is an established society, it won't hold value. Then if you do end up in a society, you need to sway them to adopt gold as a currency while keeping your gold stores secret.
