Hypothetical: You have to walk 10 miles, >95% of it on sidewalks, through the bad part(s) of a dangerous American city starting at 9:00 PM on a Saturday night. Who of the following (in the body of this post) would you rather have as de facto bodyguards?

1a. Those randomly chosen consent and will collectively get $10 000 if you make through safely.

2b. No one in these choices is armed: at least not when you all begin your walk.

3c. 6 oz of alcohol is 100% and can be in the form of 12 oz of 100 proof booze, 48 oz of 25 proof wine, 192 oz of 6.25 proof beer, etc.

4d. The Roman, Chinese, and Zulu groups each have a middle age female translator.

16 randomly chosen female Americans, 25 to 35

12 randomly chosen male Americans, 25 to 35, 4’9" to 5’3"

12 randomly chosen male Americans, 25 to 35, each who has drunk 6 oz of alcohol in the past 30 minutes

12 randomly chosen male Americans, 55 to 70

24 randomly chosen Americans, 65 to 80

8 randomly chosen male Americans, 25 to 35

    Lol you should tell that to the 3 seperate prep cooks that were mugged walking home from work on the west side of Buffalo off Richmond Ave over the year and half I worked there.

    The best advice I can give is look at any groups of yougins walking towards you on either side of the street and walk right towards them. Cross the road to go to their side even if you think they’re guna do the same. Make yourself seem crazier than it would be worth for them to fuck with you.

    Anyone with the mindset to mug is on the same level as any predatory animal. If they smell fear your fuckin done-zo. That or have a lit joing or a open container, they’ll think you don’t give a fuck same as them. Or it will be your bartering chip.
