I recall testing something on Twitter in 2020. There was a viral post about Benfords law going around after the famous Biden chart shooting up moment. I tried a simple retweet of it, and bam, banned for 12 hours. The principle is used to detect financial cooking of books, but it's somehow disinformation worthy of an instaban should you try and apply it to election numbers...nothing weird there.

Would need to know more about the incident with the shooting to weigh in, but probably good that you avoided that haha...I prefer Bill Cypher the pacifist over Kill Bill (bad, bad attempt at humor)

Pacifist nothing. Definitely trying to do the peaceful not harmless thing. I had decided and after tons of reflection I'd make the same decision again.

Not too complicated a story. Meth head bouncing off the walls charged me. Fast reflexes all around meant he saw the gun and stopped far enough away to leave me time to me to process that he stopped and not pull the trigger. Then he just ran away.

No idea if the world is better this way or if I killed him. Maybe it scared him into sobering up or maybe he brought a weapon next time. It isn't like we get together once a year on the anniversary to catch up.
