A quick definition of secus:

Term: SECUS

Definition: SECUS means "otherwise" or "to the contrary" in Latin. It is used to show that something is different from what was previously stated or expected. For example, if someone says "I thought the party was going to be boring, but SECUS, it was actually really fun!" they are saying that the party was not what they expected it to be.

A more thorough explanation:

SECUS

Secus (pronounced see-kuhs) is a Latin word that means "otherwise" or "to the contrary."

1. I thought the party was going to be fun, but secus, it was really boring.

2. The weather forecast predicted sunshine, but secus, it rained all day.

The word secus is used to indicate that something turned out differently than expected or predicted. In the first example, the speaker expected the party to be enjoyable, but it was actually dull. In the second example, the weather forecast was incorrect and it rained instead of being sunny. Both examples illustrate the use of secus to indicate a contrast between what was expected and what actually happened.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalgona I just learned about these things. Apparently they’re featured in Squid Game, but I think Squid Game is just a ripoff of the original Mr Beast Games
I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

that's like basically how wildland firefighting still works
I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
Cant imagine being the guy to be like "hey so to keep your neighbors house from burning down we are going to bulldoze yours and then catch it on fire"
