Sorry for the second reply, we're both avid talkers and I've already taken half an ambien.

At some point when murder is being discussed, someone is going to actually have to check "just to be clear, you mean murder, right?

With all respect, I disagree. And I've been friends with actual murderers. Well a murderer. I mean, I only knew him after his sentence, dk what he did when he did the murdering. Just that I've been in circles with a lot of people's who've done various crimes, and unless theyre referring to their trials or sentences or something, they never mention the crime. It's all euphemisms.

The actual confirmation bit would be online with an escrow service, after finding s reliable one.

I can imagine that if you're someone who assumes they're being bugged all the time. Like, Mafiosi wanting to talk business without actually saying something that could be used in court against them. But, I don't think that's the world that Boeing execs live in.

And I think it is.

Most low level users are in that group, being so pissed if you ever mention the real name of anything. Before actually good protected comm apps like Wickr, Signal etc, buying drugs was such a hassle. Sometimes two people would meet only to realise that neither of them have drugs, they both want to buy.

I don't think the execs live in a world where people have to spell out murder if they're gonna murder someone.
