But if they do that then they'll go up to three stars and it's even harder to get away then! When you get up to four stars they shut down the bridges and send helicopters and at five stars they start sending tanks--

I jest, but the rapid military escalation of conflict in the GTA games is reflective of the "send enough dudes until the bad guy is dead" modus operandi of American law enforcement.

What I am saying is: either use your guns or make them illegal if you don’t use them anyway.

The people clutching the guns are the same ones with the "blue line flag punisher skull" tattoos and decals. Maybe if the Black Panther party made a comeback though.

Daily Caller readers aren't ever going to read the retraction anyway. Truth doesn't matter to the right in the slightest. Journalists who pretend otherwise are basically larping.

Echoing what others have said that it so far appears to be hallucinated/AI-coined from everything I've seen so far, as well as that I've seen a variant spelled "Arafed."

These are all ludicrous.

Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain.

This makes zero sense. Read up on how tax brackets actually work. Hitting higher tax brackets doesn't mean your existing income is taxed at the higher rate. No "ruining."

Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.

Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.

Nah. Pay people.

What makes you think they're clueless? They just don't care.

Holy shit 😳 I forgot about hopelessofrantic. Almost makes me miss Reddit. She's just literally perfect 11/10.

I like to use awk instead of grep wherever possible, especially for weird logic like this.

awk '!/B/ || /A.*B/' is one way to skin that cat. If you don't care what order A and B are in on the lines containing both, then awk '!/B/ || (/A/ && /B/)' will work.

Without the genocide

Are we just going to forget about the family separation border policies? Or the "it's ok if grandma dies as long as we can go back to Outback Steakhouse again" treatment of COVID?

That isn't how anything works though. The Backfire Effect and Confirmation Bias are the reason they dig their heels in harder the more you go to facts and figures. They don't care about reality. Even worse, when you engage them, it gives them an audience for the slapfight so they can show off to others how good they are at "debating," which in this context means "saying Ben Shapiro lines then looking smug"
