I don't think Q quite understands the definition of "precipice"…nor do a lot of anons.
The Precipice is "the brink" of a disaster. Once you've got the disaster, you're past the precipice.
This is why a lot of frustrated anons speak out about being over being dragged around by the balls.
Also why we get tired of the, and I HATE this fucking phrase, but "moving of the goal posts".
"It has to get worse before it gets better"…
But it seemed the point was to take us to the brink, but not let us plow past it.
The line between precipice and "too far gone" is razor thin.
