“Stressed behaviors” is a term applied to lab rats when you manipulate their environment in negative ways. Feel like this was a little bit of a mask slip…

Stressed behavior is also a term that you use with livestock. To them we are human cattle
- always have been.

Get fucked Waltons
- Hopefully they try to go visit the titanic soon!
  
  Yes, yes... Get into the idiot squisher...

CEOs need to exhibit stressed behaviors.

Stop raising prices every week of you cunts and maybe I can buy stuff

I haven't bought a thing except gas and food since the coup
- I've bought
  12 gauge shotgun
  buckshot for the shotgun
  Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator with ANSI Z87.1-2010 standard, high impact level for eye and face protection
  Heat resistant gloves
  Lacrosse stick, restring with heat resistant netting
  
  Go ahead and act on that. The whole wolrd is waiting. I'm so fucking tired of Americans saying they are arming themselves for protection in case their government comes from them, while their country is literally falling to fascism, restricts their rights, and threatens to invade multiple other countries.
  But oh yeah, your arsenal is obviously going to scare your government and its war machine when they'll come for you.
  Fucking individualist Americans. Always saying they are arming themselves and that everyone should too, while they watch and do nothing aside from buying even more fucking weapons.
  Many years ago a gay guy in Florida was trying to convince me I needed a gun in Canada, for protection. I'm sure his gun is going to help him when his state will restrict his rights and treat him like... sigh...
  Yeah, good luck with your weapons!
  
  Tough school run I see
