Tragedy, AKA just a Wednesday in the good’ole USofA?
I split my time between Wyoming and Florida. Normally, in Wyoming, I hike alone in forests full of wolves, grizzly bears, mountain lions, and territorial moose with nothing but a can of bear spray and a little bell. In Florida I go to dinner with a concealed 6-1 .45ACP pistol loaded with high velocity 230 grain hollow points.
PS: To all foreigners reading this; the US is not one big “active shooter” zone or high crime area. Most of it is super chill and friendly. It’s just that when it isn’t chill, it goes full gore and we are mostly desensitized to it at this point. (Definitely not a brag)
Problem is i (we) mostly hear about the us from tv or shows or news. So we mostly see the shit, because somehow thats entertainment. I dont believe everyone in the usa is fucknuts but i must admit it does make me think twice about going to the us, well that and i have to be at the airport 5 fucking hours before boarding. Oh and i definitely dont want to end up in the hospital for a slinky pinky or somthing and be broke the rest of my life.
But still it happens a LOT. Maybe best to hike with wolfs ;)
“Well-Regulated Militia Opens Fire In Apalachee High School In Winder, Georgia; Cheap Thoughts And Useless Prayers Now Being Rushed To The Scene … more on this soon-to-be-forgotten-and-then-repeated story as it develops …”
“If you want to legislate evil, it’s just not going to happen,” Burchett said. "We need a real revival in this country. Let’s call on our Christian ministers and our people of faith.”
in other words, “thoughts and prayers,” and in other other words, “i don’t want it fixed” because if prayers aren’t stopping a shooting at a christian school, then surprise surprise: prayers and faith and ministers are worse than useless, they pretend to be a solution where they’re actually a hindrance
No, it’s not the same as saying they don’t want it fixed. I think that he is woefully wrong, even negligently wrong. But I don’t need to misconstrue his stance or argument to think that.
i’m sure there are plenty of not-problems that he desperately wants to fix. i know nothing about the guy, but i’m willing to bet he sees gay books in the library as a dire threat to the children which needs to be corrected immediately
please bro, are you trolling? why are we having to differentiate between “wanting” kids to die and giving absolutely no shits if they do? the result is the same.
you are right about one thing: kids being killed by guns over and over and over is less of a problem to them than CRT or drag queens. honestly i couldn’t care less if they don’t think it’s a problem. IT IS a problem, just like global warming, corrupt scotus, trump’s lies, and anything else they deny the existence of. fuck them.
but again, seriously: if someone’s not willing to do a single goddamn thing to prevent kids being killed by guns, then what the fuck difference does it make whether they “want kids to die” or not?
Has writing the novel changed in the last several decades? It used to be very rare that any given writer would hit the best seller list, everyone else was steered towards taking writing classes or purchasing somewhat pricey seminars. What is the motive to defend AI writing bots? AI isn’t going to be purchasing seminars or taking classes.
“Generative AI empowers not the artist, not the writer, but the tech industry,” Star Wars: Aftermath author Chuck Wendig said in response to NaNoWriMo’s stance. “It steals content to remake content, graverobbing existing material to staple together its Frankensteinian idea of art and story.”
