It's illegal without a license in my country, and a civilian cannot have a license for it here.
I would probably give it a thought or two despite that, but getting charged with concealed carry of weaponry could cost me my court license, so it's a bit too much of a risk.
Wow that is a terrible system, you should be able to defend yourself in a situation like that regardless or grey area or red tape.
What is legal besides pepper spray then?

Running skills lmao. That was the way for me tonight... turning around, running and hitting the emergency button of my sports watch (it sends my location for my husband).
I am not kidding. Tasers can be licensed for only policemen, border patrol and prison guards. Any firearm would need a license, and any usage of firearm against an attacker is frowned upon in our legislation (basically the danger you are in must be life-threatening - if its 'only' robbery or sexual assault and you use a gun, you are easily charged with assault or manslaughter). Knives and such are illegal to carry in public without a reason (such as going home from knife shop). As it comes to pepper spray, well, strictly speaking that is illegal too - the legal ones I refer to are actually just strong menthol and designed to blind the target temporarily, causing no pernanent damage.
Wow that is crazy, well do your best to stay safe out there. Maybe go jogging with others for numbers too.
At least I'm not going after dark anymore, that is for sure! Also, there are fine jogging areas in the tightly-built suburban - it's not as good for running as soft forest trail but it's a lot safer, there is always someone seeing and hearing it if anything odd would happen.
It happens at the Union Canal in Edinburgh, too.

You know the period where kids around 3-5 years of age throw tantrums and scream about EVERYTHING and create problems such as "my shadow is stupid, make it go away!!!"? What is it called in English?
Well anyway. It is ROUGH.
Especially when I am speaking both about the Little Bean AND some guys at work. Mainly opposing parties, but boy some clients can be hard to talk with too. I like my clients, but this country's poor financial situation starts to really show for business lawyers as well.
Gah. Just ****ty morning. I am tired.

So I remember No Code said a whole year ago that an update on Silent Hill: Townfall was coming in 2024. Well, we have just 3 more weeks until 2025 begins. So I doubt any news will come this year about how far along it is in development. But at least we know Annapurna Interactive will still be publishing the game, despite the chaos that occurred a few months ago.
Apparently James Gunn gave Superman his red underwear back cause he wanted to make him look like a symbol of hope and reassurance again, he didn't want a Superman kids would be afraid of, dark like Snyder's.
Now, just like Superman's new outfit, that stuff make me burst out laughing. Like, how about just simply making him smile more? Writing him with a positive way of carrying himself? You don't have to make him look like an idiot for him to not be dark and broody. It's not either he looks stupid or he looks mopey. There's middle grounds. Cavill's suit was great, all it needed was for the movies to get rid of a desaturated color palette so that the blue would pop more.
There was no need to reintroduce the panties again. They will always, without fail, only simply look silly as hell. This is a Superman I wanna laugh at, not be inspired by or look up to.
And besides all that, if your goal is to make this Superman a symbol of hope again, why is the trailer so moody, Snyder style? The whole vibe of it clashes with all the visual silliness like the red underwear, the curl, and the stupid super dog with the cape. Whatever you say Gunn, but I think you and the marketing team ain't got communication down.

Gah. Cold war sucks. Not knowing what is going on and what is not sucks.
Wouldn't it be great if we didnt have to keep gas kettle and flashlights around. Or read the official information packages about what to do if your drinking water is poisoned. Or to be concerned about regular public warning siren test runs. Or have that darn "what if" thought every time a train malfunctions or your phone connection disappears. Or discuss about the maintenance of community bomb shelters during the HOA meeting.
My daughter likes to ask a lot of questions and I'm still clueless on what to answer when she drops the question about "what is war".
Sucks.

Why oh why, when the sign outside clearly says that we close at 22:00 sharp, does every night someone walk in at precisely 21:59 at expect to be able to do a full sweep of their grocery shopping? And when you inform them that the store is closing, they get all indignant and entitled that the store should remain indefinitely open until they have finished. 
some things transcends continents. retail stores in the states have those same problems.Why oh why, when the sign outside clearly says that we close at 22:00 sharp, does every night someone walk in at precisely 21:59 at expect to be able to do a full sweep of their grocery shopping?

Why won't it rain and get rid of this stupid snow and ice, this blizzard has done enough damage. I wish it would just ever so kindly you know p**s off
My sister gets picked on by social workers at her contact with her kid. I really don't like them either. But what can you do? Not much.
The city of Edinburgh is just a concrete jungle now. Like, the amount of housing schemes now is way beyond the score.

Are pictures where characters give two middle fingers supposed to be edgy?
They may have been edgy back in 2012/2013 (when the DMC reboot came out). They're not now. They're cringe.
Then again, it's DeviantArt. I guess middle finger images to DeviantArt are the same as the f-word is to kids who've just heard it for the first time *sigh*

Historically there's been some creepy symbolism with the two fingers too. In some cultures / secret societies it was a symbol someone would do if they worshipped the devil, same with the weird triangle symbol you see politicians do.
Oh right. Thank you for explaining.

Look, father. If you want clean clothes, I have to use the washing machine. If you want dry clothes, I HAVE to tumble dry them. I'm not happy about it (it's forty-ish years old - And has a possible fireball potential), the cats aren't happy about it (they hate the noise), and I know you're not happy about it because you keep reminding me every fifteen f**king minutes!
