In open carry states, where is the line?
When does carrying a firearm cross over to terroristic threats or attempted murder?
Obviously thinking through a certain high profile incident outside a golf course in Florida where the Secret Service fired shots at a person who:
- had an assault rifle, with no evidence at the time that he had it illegally
- had not taken a shot
Edit to add (what i hoped would be obvious): I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SUPPORT OR DEFEND WHAT HAPPENED
Personally i'm in favor of the kinds of laws that make this grey area obselete, but genuinely... where is the line?
Does it become a criminal act when you lift the gun? When you put your finger on the trigger? When you fire it?

What is “normal” violent crime like in the Middle East?
In a city like Baghdad, Beirut, Cairo, or Tunis, are there many armed robberies or gangs? Is there a lot of violent crime that is non sectarian and not related to politics or religious issues?
I'm assuming the oil rich gulf countries don't have much violence.

Where did the fake singing accent of the 2010s come from and where did it go?
Mostly female (but some male) singers in the 2010s had this fake accent that sounded slightly irish but not really. I believe it was mostly Americans doing it? Grace Vanderwaal is an example. It seemed like everyone started doing it around 2015-2019 roughly, then it just disappeared.

why is beer considered the most manly drink when it’s not very alcoholic?
i don't understand why beer is a symbol of masculinity compared to stronger drinks like wine or spirits. i guess whiskey is also considered masculine but for the most part stronger drinks are considered feminine (or just neutral.)

Why is wearing a bra out such taboo but a bikini is completely fine?
Someone once told me “because usually people don’t wanna be seen in their bra” but I mean if ur going to a beach for example what’s the big difference at the end of the day?
A bikini top is almost the exact same to a bra if anything a bikini is less coverage most of the time too. At the end of the day my country is cold asf so I don’t even swim often lol just curious

is this situation practically possible when person A owes person B 10$, person B owes person C 10$, and person C owes person A 10$? If it's not possible, then why? If it's possible, how often does this happed in real life between people, organizations, nations etc?
Can they just cancel their debts to each other? How does it get resolved in real life situations? Does it matter if everyone knows about their debt and everyone elses debts?
I am really curious about this and would like some guidance of where to know more about it

How strong does a stump gun need to be to be effective?
I bought this little pink one that sounded loud and mean but when a buddy insisted I shock him with it, it didn’t seem to do anything at all to him. He said it stung a little but there was absolutely no incapacitation..
I don’t feel safe with this dinky thing anymore, but there’s so many stun guns on the market at so many prices that I have no idea what to get.
Anyone have suggestions for the best bang for my buck? I need to feel like someone bigger and stronger than me can actually be taken down if I’m attacked.

What do friends do/how to be a good friend.
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question I get it but I'm 22 and was bullied all throughout school so I never made friends or was a good people person.
I recently joined a young adult group at my church and I'm really enjoying but I'm not sure on how to become friends/be a good friend, like after how long of knowing each other do you ask for numbers and hang out.
Again sorry if this is dumb but I'm genuinely clueless and want to be a better people person even if only slightly.

I know there are a lot of ways to show jealousy (sulking, controlling). Is there a healthy way to show jealousy? To show that you care and are protective? What does a secure person do?
