mostly peaceful

mostly peaceful (adj.) - A description use to muddle the purpose, truth, or intent of a person, group, or event Involving extreme violence, looting, destruction of property, or arson. This description is typically used in politically charged discussion, and its use diminishes the truth of the statement while not technically being a lie.
"They say Kim Jong-Un is a bad guy, but I don't believe it. If he eats for 4 hours a day, sleeps for 8, and enriches uranium for another 4, that only leaves 8 hours a day to "terminate with extreme prejudice" any threat, enemy, or family member."

"I get it now.....so that's less than 50% a day of murder, so it would be well above the threshold of "mostly peaceful."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
