The longer one spends on Lemmy the more untreated mental illness one finds.

No, no. I’m referring specifically to you.

Nobody likes a propagandist.

Less so when it’s low effort.

Holy bald-faced foreign propaganda, Batman!

Yeah, the guy’s team was writing “articles and blog posts promoting a tech company”.

Letting an LLM mangle that isn’t exactly a huge loss.

America bad, you see.

Therefore when America do good, is actually bad.

Out of context and from another speaker I would interpret that statement as “I’ve had longstanding connections with this guy. Watch out, he’s a perv but to a degree that’s publicly tolerable. Watch out, he’s got a thing for young girls. All of that has to be tolerated because he’s socially connected.”

Given the speaker, though that between the lines reading may be giving too much credit.

I believe the connection is aviation.

Not to mention that under US law black powder guns are not legally considered firearms.

While that’s technically a loophole, it’s left in place to allow poor people in rural areas to supplement their food budget with hunting even if they have a felony conviction.

Most municipalities have a non-emergency line to handle things like this. Road obstructions, noise complaints, and the like may well be handled by 911 operators, but calls to the non-emergency line are handled as the lowest priority.

Parent here. It’s always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.

The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I’m about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.

Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn’t plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don’t want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don’t want to hear that they shouldn’t have done that knowing they wouldn’t be able to stay together in the long term.

Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.

Going to get?

Fucksmith showed us the way!

They could do a time jump.

You ever think of switching to decaf?

Congratulations on being the first user I block on Lemmy.

Fuck me for trying to answer your question, I guess.

There’s no uniform definition, but groups with an agenda will count any discharge of a firearm on property owned by a school as a school shooting regardless of circumstances.

One notorious case was a person who committed suicide in the parking lot of a closed down school. It happened in the middle of the night and classes hadn’t been held in that building for years. Advocacy groups still counted it.

NPR did a whole investigation into over reporting in 2018. Here’s a link:

I heard on NPR that a lot of the key ships and equipment the army used were almost decommissioned in 2019. The last time they were used was in Haiti in 2010.

Hopefully this convinces army brass to make the investment to maintain this capability.

Well, that’s a braindead take if I’ve ever heard one.

Unless you live a subsistence lifestyle and somehow also produce all of the complex goods you need, you care.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would more or less kick off world war three. To say that’s bad for everyday life is an understatement, and that’s assuming nobody launches nukes.
