I need to specify that it goes both ways - inserting your schedule into someone’s plans and not appreciating them is what matters.

I don’t know. I can’t speak from experience, but I don’t think many people would bum rush a guy with a shotgun. Easier to disarm seems like a moot point.
They may take longer to reload, marginally important in a scenario where nobody is shooting back but are instead hunkered down and hiding. I’m always a little surprised how low fatality counts are considering. 00 buckshot will be deadly virtually every time, so in a macabre way there is efficiency to consider, just on the other side of the military purchasing coin.
Maneuverability isn’t that much lower. You’re talking about a couple of inches of barrel length.
Besides, shotguns are used in tactical situations. Training in the military often revolves around carbines because of efficiency. They’re not going to ruck a full gun safe around, so training revolves around selected tools, which are chosen for overall capabilities not specific to murdering groups of unarmed people defenselessly contained in rooms.
In any case, to my original comment, AR’s are used in a statistically negligible amount of murders. Last I checked there are roughly 300 rifle murders per year, all rifles. Handguns far surpass this number, and so do hands and feet 
If saving lives is the goal, banning AR ownership would be like reinstating alcohol prohibition to stop cocaine trafficking.
I still think the best definition of adulting is simply “Do what you say you will.”

I think it depends on perspective. Most of us see from our own lens. Many of us don’t have to prioritize a calendar, there is usually some time available, somewhere.
It can be hard to realize we aren’t as important to somebody as we thought, to Brant’s point. It can also be hard to acknowledge we should be appreciative that somebody without the time for us created some time, even if another obligation made them late. It probably means more than realized.
This is what I mean. Going right to “see from our own lens”, I assume the opposite: that EVERYONE is busy. It’s why I don’t try to justify my shortcomings due to business. I just own it. “Sorry I’m late: I failed in my plan”

Yup. Five minutes early is three minutes late.

We had shotguns, pistols, M4s, and various machine guns available, as MPs, but we never trained room clearing with shotguns.
I think it’s something that has to be experienced, not assumed, to know.
Solipsism solves this issue for me.
That shit keeps me up at night. Thanks.

I’d make the above tweak. Many times, if I’m late it’s not by a positive choice, but by a negative one - fear of upsetting boss, kid had an issue, things generally beyond what I can control and plan for.
I didn’t take it that way at all. @Njord only stated he was busy and would prioritize an answer.
You know, I detect (and keep detecting) this type of response from someone who diets. Eating meat is fun, restricting isn’t, the moody response is telling.
That ain’t living.
Living is eating a tasty processed treat, not giving a fuk and demolishing a PR. That’s living bro!!!
lol.
Have a good day.
Dude, seriously: stop.

He won’t.
By definition solipsism doesn’t allow for somebody to be prioritized in a schedule that doesn’t have room for them to begin with, but they are anyways.
Exactly: it solves everything, haha.
Smoking, and chewing tobacco is healthier than being obese or using Marijuana products. Tobacco use also got rid of my gyno, I swear to god
What’s your logic here?
You chose this for your first post? The trolls really do suck lately.
Nicotine is a mild AI, seems highly unlikely but could be a mechanism if it was estro related.
