A.k.a. "a**h**e insurance". Refers to where you habitually bring a really intolerably-obnoxious human along with you on potentially-dangerous excursions, such as on an airline-trip, into battle or a "bad" part of town, on a road-trip through natural-disaster areas like flooding or rock-slides, into a hazardous-materials area, etc., to better your own chances of survival. The theory behind this practice, of course, is that whenever there is a widespread catastrophe or other mass-annihilation incident, statistically the "nice" folks are usually the ones who get killed, while the super-nasty inhabitants in the disaster-area invariably seem to escape with little or no injury. So the obvious conclusion would be that if you "keep your friends close and your enemies even closer" (i.e., always stay right next to the acridly-antisocial hombre who's accompanying you), the Fate gods --- who apparently like and favor the mean folks, since they always seem to spare them --- will be hesitant to allow anything harmful to occur in your vicinity, since they would not want to risk harming or killing one of their precious meanie-jerks, as well. Simple, but effective, and a lot cheaper and more reliable than buying death/accident-insurance.
The concept of the "a**h**e safety-net" is nothing new --- it's actually just kinda the reverse of taking hostages: while the latter involves keeping desirable people close to you so that their fellow humans will not send bullets or bombs your way for fear of hurting their abducted loved ones, the former strategy also utilizes the "human shield" concept, but in the exact opposite way... no respectable human being would give a rat's a** if your cranky-natured companion were eliminated ("Good riddance!"), but the Gods of Fate would indeed wish to maintain the well-being of such miscreant, and so they will feel forced to let you live on, as well.

Get the That's net mug.Net Planet is a Planet orbiting a star close to Earths.
Net Planet is much like Earth however on Net Planets troposphere all the way to it’s thermosphere is no CO2 present (carbon dioxide)
Net Planet is currently known as fiction/non existent as no one knows where it really is except for a species known as vex.
vex are “aliens” that come from this planet, they are the only ones that know of it, however they do not know how to go back. They commonly try to ask people if they know how to get there but obviously since they are on Earth they don’t know that humans don’t know about it. Vex are being passed from Net to Earth to research however over the years the vex have forgotten their purpose. Vex look just like humans and have no actual power.
Vex have access to social media and commonly express their feelings on there.
