They can be squeezed lightly for a longer time, making Americans uncomfortable for months, or once in a not so gentle way.

It's the perfect instrument, if you're willing to pay the price. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago I asked my old bank about this once, and they threatened to call the police.
