"Oh no, I can't stop listening to the news! I won't hear about (random thing)!"
If you don't hear about (random thing) by osmosis in your day-to-day life, it wasn't that important. You didn't need to know. It was meaningless to you.
"Well, everyone else is listening to the news. If they weren't, I wouldn't even hear about it by osmosis!"
If you wouldn't even realize it was happening without hearing it from some retard, it's all just angels dancing on the head of pin. It doesn't concern you, and the biggest lie you were ever told is that you had a duty to be concerned about any of it. War crimes? What are you going to do about them? Cry? Yell? Shut up. You just want to be righteously angry about something. You want to feel vindicated. You want to feel like you know a truth that justifies getting impotently emotional. It doesn't fucking matter.

Well I did not know that. I did remember what happened with Brandon Lee and the “blank” wad! I thought they were mostly toy-like guns after what happened to Brandon Lee.
Sadly there's no good substitute for "a gun going BANG" like a (more-or-less) real gun going BANG.

They're all true though. It is 100% the set armorer's responsibility to ensure the firearms are safe to use for whatever the next shot in the film requires. Which means, you know, checking to make sure there are no live rounds in it for whatever reason.

I wish people looked at guns more as just a tool because that’s literally what they are, an object that makes a certain job easier
"A certain job" is doing a lot of work in obfuscation here. Guns are for killing. That's the job. That's why they don't like them - because we have a word for "tools that make killing easier". It's "weapon". They're weapons. Deadly weapons.

Shut up asshole! You never pointed a toy gun at anyone as a child? You’re an ass.
"Prop guns" are not toys. At best, you have semi-automatic "prop guns" which are just guns that have been rigged to properly cycle when blanks are fired. A prop revolver is just a revolver. And even if you want to classify "gun loaded with blanks" a toy, you're wrong. Blanks are still dangerous. Not to mention the risk of what happened to Brandon Lee, although that's the armorer's responsibility.

Because he knows the risks posed by being a 5G connected human device. We're alll gonna be made slaves to a regime of corporate PMC globalist overlords, our very thoughts and emotions controlled by a dial in some glass tower owned by a bald supervillain whose plans will make us all submissive and breedable.

Your miniscule intellect cannot even begin to fathom the depths and complexities of the self. The meat - the flesh - but exerts some minimal influence on the shape of the self. The self, however, has the power to dominate the flesh. I dominate my flesh; I do not let it dominate me. You are as a worm, speaking to a god - a prisoner of the flesh, enslaved and dominated by the fickle warden of your fleeting mortality. Rot, you somnolescent worm. Rot as I attain greater heights than you could possibly conceive of. I know what I am.

I go by many names. Names are as ephemeral and powerless as the flesh. I am Meikai. I am Phoenix. I am HTS-Noob. I am Lucy. I am Sean. And I am none of these, for these are merely slipshod affectations - decorations we append to the self and to the flesh. I simply am. The self is. I am that I am. I weep for the being that believes its self to be nothing more than a body with a name, and is so hobbled by these flimsy psychic restraints. I wear this body, where your body wears you.
Woe. Woe to your underdeveloped psyche. Woe to your infantile soul. Truly, you are pitiable.

I would have to remind myself that my mother and I are both white, and therefore cannot begin to understand the pain that we have caused him. Perhaps his actions are justified. I would be upset, but being upset by things like this is just a manifestation of my white privilege.

Ew. A car? Why would you ever want to leave your house? Disgusting. It's bad enough that you might want to go somewhere within walking distance, but "oh I need a special machine that is designed specifically to transport me hundreds of miles from my sanctuary" is disturbing beyond measure. 🤢🤮

Because they're smart enough to understand that "crack only lasts like 30 minutes" is a good thing. White boys and asians think that's terribly inefficient, because they don't appreciate fleeting experiences. Really speaks to how soulless and disconnected from life whites and asians are - our lives are but crack rocks in god's cosmic crack pipe, everything is fleeting.

I'm just trying to deflect from my own cringey love of all hallows eve. I literally traded a porno tape on VHS (called IIRC "layin down the law") in junior high to another kid in exchange for the nightmare before Christmas on VHS.
I'm sorry I'm being a disingenuous hipster, I legitimately like the nightmare before Christmas, there have been some cataclysmic events in my life that took place with Halloween as a backdrop several times so it's a pretty weird time for me in some ways.
I would give you candy 🥺
I've watched nightmare before christmas once, and... yeah, I dunno. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Zero resonance for me. To be fair though I watched it when I was a jaded twentysomething and everything Tim Burton had been cringe for a long time by that point. I can see the appeal of halloween if you are under 13 or a young adult with a social life, but sadly the season holds nothing for me besides Mr. Bones now.
I do have some cataclysmic events associated with this time of year, but it's more a week or two before Halloween than around Halloween itself. I feel an anticipation or an energy building up every year starting in late September and on a good year it's business as usual and on a bad year reality crumbles around October 20th.

Might have to custom build your cinderblock crushing hand, now that I think about it. Big Prosthetic doesn't want their customers becoming too powerful. Shouldn't be too hard to rig some hydraulics up though...
