I’m know it’s a meme, but a lot of people actually live like this. It’s part of that insanity of fear that people live in. “Except one” implies that it’s inevitable that you’ll be attacked in the night.

It’s just like the psychos who stock up on guns, they’re positive that “it’s only a matter of time”

People are fuckin stupid

It's not paranoia if they are really after you

It could still be paranoia

Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

Long as you don't go overboard, i think it's perfectly reasonable to have something to defend yourself with. Granted, i would think a reasonable amount of guns to have for home defence would be 1, but i'm european so i dunno

I thought it was James May.

I thought it was Steven Seagal.

I only know 2 things about Steven Seagal.

  1. Steven Seagal is a Russian shill.

  2. One time Gene LeBell choked Steven out so hard, that Steven Seagal shit his pants.

Those are the only 2 things I know, and need to know about Steven Seagal.

The man always wakes up ready to prepare a coconut for breakfast. How is that wrong?
