    Okay, fuck it, I’m getting out of this software engineering thing, I’m moving to the US to become a cop. I think I’m white enough for Trump, definitely whiter than he is.

      Here’s a test for you:
      There’s a chunk of cash in an envelope. Do you take it?

      A non white person could be close by at any moment, are you fearing for your life?

      You’re walking outside and you hear a dog bark in the distance. Are you shooting wildly in the basic direction of the sounds?

      You’ve just killed an innocent person and been given a paid holiday whoops, I mean ‘suspension’, where would you like to go?

        Hmm… If I find the envelope, yes. If someone is handing it to me as a bribe, no.

        No

        No

        Hawaii maybe? Weather seems nice, same for the nature. Nice place to get your thoughts off murder.

          Unfortunately you aren’t corrupt enough to become a cop, sorry.
