Why are there so many guns in this God-forsaken country? Why did local cops respond to an active shooting call? Why did they enter the house, instead of waiting for a specially trained team? Why did the victim have a gun?

There aren’t usually numerous 5-minutes pauses in a football match, no.

I wouldn’t know, I haven’t watched a single football match since 2018. As for short stoppage time, football use to have much less than, say, rugby. Was it different this year?

Most football non-fans absolutely know that a football match is supposed to be two halves.

This country may, or may not, ask me to hand over my burner phone for inspection. Then it may, or may not, deny me entry.

To cross said border with my burner phone in my pocket and do whatever I need to do on the other side, why else? You do realise that is by far the most likely outcome, yes?

Lying about what? "I only bring a burner phone to border checks because I don’t want people like you to access my data“ is not a lie, and I fail to see how it could be interpreted as such.

Denied entry, why not. But detained?

"I only ever cross borders with a blank phone because I don’t want you invading my privacy" is a perfectly valid answer. You can also add that it is your employer’s policy and/or your government official recommendation.

Phones should be banned from children’s lives altogether. They have no benefit for them, only harm.
