Private personal security firms exist, and are often used by celebrities, CEOs, and the like. Generally speaking, what you get with those services is just an armed dude who will follow you around and make sure that people keep a safe distance from you. He’ll get between you and anybody who may be approaching too aggressively, and will mostly just serve as a physical barrier, more than anything.

They will not take a bullet for you, though. While there’s an inherent risk of being attacked as part of the job, they’re not going to “get down Mr President” you. While they will do what they can to protect you, they’re not going to intentionally sacrifice themselves for you.

Oh that makes sense, thanks!

Holy shit, I had no idea it went that far back! Good jorb finding that.

Poor dog doesn’t deserve this legacy.

It’s a very useful way to be assertive when confronting somebody with a problem you have with them.

Betcha won’t make that mistake twice, Jon!

Pineapple and jalapeno.

Does the court decide that he has to wear the vest, or was that a decision by his team? I know the shackles are typically requested by the court, but my understanding is that the rest of a defendant’s wardrobe is their own decision.

Sorry, can you please be more specific? That hardly narrows it down.

I’d like to go back to a simpler time. A time when nazis got shot in the fucking face.

Well, mail was nice while it lasted.

Yeah, I feel like there’d be a lot of salvageable material that could be put to better use. Even if it’s all rusted and broken down, a ship that size has a lot of steel that could be repurposed.

No no, don’t take it away from him. In fact, he’s been such a good boy lately, he deserves extra. A lot extra.

I can’t see any posts from the last year when viewing that from Mbin. Which is weird because I’m also somehow already subscribed to it, so I should be seeing newer posts.

For me, it’d be Prime. The game just oozes atmosphere from start to finish, and has one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. I still sometimes listen to the Phendrana Drifts tracks because they’re just so damn chill.

She’s LARPing.

Their promo video is hilarious. Agent 47 over here immediately jumps behind the “protectee” as she climbs into an SUV, like six inches behind her. Even though he has backup and there is no crowd, he’s handling it like a celebrity-vs-mob situation or something. He has no clue what he’s doing, just what he thinks looks right for the camera.

I’ve worked with a real, retired bodyguard before; somebody who has had to protect people from actual, active threats in hostile environments. He was the head of security at the office I worked in, and was chill as fuck. People like that carry themselves a certain way. They move with intent and telegraph nothing. The dude I worked with was in his 60s but could still whoop my ass before I knew what hit me, he was like what I’d imagine a retired Jason Bourne to be.

These guys are like… the Paul Blart version of that. They’re just doing live-fire LARPing.

What’s the difference between 8 billion dollars and 8 million dollars?

Approximately 8 billion dollars.
