Sometimes I’m guessing, but my guesses are more informed than yours and I’m only suggesting giving it a try because it will be faster than this argument we’re now having about it.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world
Sure, but we’re in a job interview, right?
Would you please be the boss of me now?
I was a senior project manager at Twitter
I’m telling you you’re wrong. If you displease the government your property can be seized or destroyed. Resistance will be met with violence. Further, it’s not even necessary for you personally to offend those who really control your property. If a fleeing felon takes shelter in your home or business your property can be destroyed in the ensuing violence and you won’t be compensated. Guess what happens next? You pay the bills to get the property back up to standards or get run off through further violence or the implicit threat of violence. The next person to come along and buy your property will swear up and down that violence had nothing to do with their purchase. Ultimately you have only the control that those who monopolize violence grant to you, and only so long as that control does not conflict with their priorities.
You don’t control your property. I’ll say it again - stop paying for it and you’ll find out.
It is that way right now. Quit paying your rent or property taxes and see how long it takes for men with guns to show up to convince you to go elsewhere.
I just want to smoke crack and buy guns and keep my laptop private
I’d imagine some DOJ personnel dying under suspicious circumstances is more likely
Yes, you need to say more. I have absolutely no idea what that is and I don’t want to Google it if it’s really that horrifying.

If they can’t vibe with that I don’t want them ever coming over again
A plant based diet in the current food system produces massive amounts of animal suffering. If everything more complex than a nematode is sentient then you just have to accept that sentient suffering is the price for a large human population no matter what they are eating.
The suffering of sentient beings that directly results from human activity isn’t an accident just because the harm wasn’t the main or direct intention. Factory farming is not ethically justifiable whether it’s cattle, fruit, vegetables, or grain.
Braindead logic is thinking you’re better than anyone else because the creatures you harm get left in the field to rot.
You’re just comfortable with suffering you’re willfully ignorant of. You don’t care about sentience any more than they do.
Good luck harvesting a field of soy without crushing a few field mice or worse
Where are you going to draw the line? If every creature is worthy of consideration there won’t be much left to eat.
The path of a bullet is parabolic. You ain’t hitting shit with that math, yo.
