This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I don't understand, why was it a thread
The dealer is telling him not to try anything stupid because he's armed.
Seriously. Just because he didn't know the type of gun doesn't mean it was a threat. It sounds like he was just saying "just fyi there's a gun out", because lots of people will freak the fuck out if they see a gun.
You're dead. The gun would be out where you can't touch it. They're a dealer; not a range. You would agree to a robbery.
If you KNOW them, you should he fine, MAYBE.
This is coming from someone who played the game.
Edit: Also, just throwing these out there: (for the US)
Edit: this based on the context of someone saying they have a gun out. Why would you say that? They're either stupid or going to rob you. Enjoy taking your chances. I will continue to buy my substances from people who don't brandish their gun over text.
What's the last time you had a CT scan?
Getting high on their own supply.
Xanthrax is a hell of a drug
Embarrassing comment
Third degree embarrassment right here
Eh, if you know your dealer well enough to be invited in, and be made aware they're armed, it isn't a high level risk.
I mean, that could be a locality based thing, I guess, but I've known some dealers of a lot is substances over the years, and they don't invite people in often, much less to come in and use. If anything, they're going to tell you to fuck off if you ask to use the product in their crib.
Again, could just be that that ones I've known are different based on regional drug culture, I dunno.
Weed dealers do tend to be a little more chill though.
Don't buy from dealers that are casual about guns? If someone is braking that many laws at a time, they're a hazard. They're brandishing over text. That's up there with carrying too much, not following traffic laws, being loud, drinking and driving, using radio scanners, etc...
A good dealer will pull up in a Toyota cammery outside of InnOut, looking like your dad.
Some dealers will he also be legit, but rob people they don't know. This would be the perfect way to have a gun out and rob them while they're calm. You were dumb enough to show up; now you're a target.
Never played the game. But, one gets quite an education in prison.
Nailed it. But, this audience doesn't want the truth of things. They want to feel comfortable in their lukewarm understanding.
I suggest that you pick an individual worthy of your investment in real life. Or, if that's not a thing, PM me and we'll talk meta.
The "radical neoliberal" radically clings to the short term comfort of bandwagon neoliberalism. While their lives are more expensive and more comfortable than someone in effective poverty, both live effectively paycheck to paycheck.
Only if some event beyond the radical neoliberal's control happens, such as getting fired, might they experience poverty and prison. If we tell them this truth it forces them to perceive how dangerous the unrestrained bull market is as it runs loose in our collective fiscal china store. That doesn't at all align with the radical neoliberal's current ideology: "Be shallowly psycologically comforted by DNC POTUS marketing material. Hostility is warranted in rejection of all that does not provide comfort."
The experience of prison and poverty is prerequisite to the radical neoliberal's understanding it. Hypothetical unwarranted imprisonment isn't an ethical means to any end.
The only proactive and ethical means for anyone without experience to understand poverty and prison is empathetically in the context of an existing relationship.
