I'm not a fan of gun control in general but I'm not some redneck that has a problem with literally *any* form of gun control, either. IMO the Houston police chief is 100% correct - firearms need to be kept out of the hands of domestic abusers.
According to one statistic, "an abuser’s access to a firearm increases the risk of intimate partner femicide by 400% and 20% of victims were family members, neighbors, persons who intervened, or law enforcement."
And the Universe whispered seductively into my ear, "Stop pretending that you still have something left to lose...we both know that you don't."
"Bitch quit playing," I replied. "You gonna buy me a fucking drink or what? I don't still fuck with you for your charming personality."
Part II of Malice vs. the Universe coming right the fuck up. Stay tuned and find out who wins and who loses!
(dealer always wins, but who's counting when you're not buying? 🤷♀️)
Ever since I factory reset my phone a week ago I've been getting this weird repetitive beeping sound that happens over and over. It doesn't appear to be tied to ANY app, it's not a notification, nothing else happens during, and it sounds like a fucking submarine's sonar blip from a movie. It's driving me NUTS. It happens completely at random and I can't stop it.
Anyone ever have this happen? It's absolutely mental. It's a Pixel phone running Android 10.
I wonder what kind of over dinner conversations happen in the Conway household. I mean, there's being able to agree to disagree and then there's the Conways.

Between this and the Chilean protesters using lasers, I feel like this is definitely the prequel to the best dystopian series ever.
Bows and arrows, and petrol bombs lobbed by catapult...Hong Kong is the dopest protest ever.

YES! Synthwave artists rise up lol
I was unarmed and alone, and I had no idea of he was armed. My instinct is never to run, but to face the person...something about putting my back to an active threat bothers me (and my cardio is shit so I'm a terrible runner anyway). In this instance, he took my facing him as being too much hassle to be worth it, and he split. But it does not always work that way.
If I had been less aware, he would have grabbed me and pulled me into his vehicle.
Whether or not you're armed...stay aware.
