If I smash your car, is that violence or not? What if I take care to smash your car only so much that it will still be able carry you to work and back?

What if I apply a protective coating to an unprotected wall, using my own money to supply the materials?

[usrusr]

Same as adjusting other people's tire pressure: perfectly fine if you have explicit approval.

[mavhc]

Definitely not violence though?

[usrusr]

You mean like how poisoning isn't violence?

[mavhc]

how is protecting your walls like killing you?

[amenhotep]

Not. Was this supposed to be a hard question?
