Your account is five days old. So I don’t think your message here carries a lot of weight unfortunately. That post is violating the community rules as well. And the account defended itself to not be a bot when no one accused it of that. So it’s probably not a great case to use to start a warm welcome campaign.
Former redditors should be familiar with something like forum rules and how to check them.
Since I signed up to Lemmy I think I’ve spent about 30 minutes in the All feed. 5 minutes just now to remind me why I don’t go there. You are your own algorithm. If all you subscribe to are meme communities, you ought to be able to drastically reduce political content in your personal feed. All and Local are for occasional excursions only.
I get she was frustrated. I get this was a joke. You don’t make bomb jokes in line at the TSA either.
She may have overestimated the degree of privacy her DMs had. That’s also on her. Other e2e encrypted services are available to make the crass jokes. But if one of the three recipients had also failed to get the joke, a Signal chat would’ve sufficed to get those deputies showing up as well.
And one shouldn’t expect that a company, even of dwindling importance as Snapchat, won’t do everything in their power to cover their asses. Imagine if this teacher did go amok and they flagged it but did nothing.
In a way this might be explained away with changing expectations by the audience or it’s a way to grab audience attention. I think it also depends which media you consume and how that’s funded. I think public broadcasters like the BBC are less likely to add music to their proper news segments than CBS because they don’t need to sell commercials for pharmaceuticals with an unending list of side effects. In my European view, American news at least since CNN became a thing has always had an emphasis on form over function with more pretty people reading the news, sound effects, animated graphics, breaking news alerts, etc. Unfortunately, a lot of that has filtered through elsewhere as well.
Music on news is nothing new though. I remember Enya infused VTs of collapsing World Trade Centers and videos of the tsunami and exploding nuclear reactors in line with some trip hop beat. And I remember people getting mad about that back then as well.
If you can’t (or won’t) cut down on having firearms freely available, and if you cannot (or will not) do more on the mental health side of prevention, and you have already invented bullet proof whiteboards, doors like battlefield tanks, and implemented a system of metal detector entry checks and maybe deployed an armed guard, then this is an almost good idea. It’s the blinking light in the window and an alarm system sticker on the window that may deter a thief but for school shootings.
I’m not sure about pepper spray. Is a blind shooter unloading their AR-15 magazine an improvement over a fully sighted one? Why aren’t they equipping them with tranquilizer darts? Cross promotion potential for zoos as well.
What are the odds that we get coordinated school attacks and we find out one part-time student at the control center can’t fly 5 drones in 5 different high schools at the same time?
If they’re going to Singapore, do tell them because bringing durian on public transport can get you in trouble. I think it’s just a fine and not a caning but still.
The report also seems not to realize that it is being written by the Trump administration.
There are a few delightful digs like this in this article.
The only thing that’s golden is the tacky veneer on the White House walls in the picture.
Fast food is slop anywhere.
I share your view on humanity. I’m glad you said something. Tone is tough to transport online.
I should have added /s.
Voting is better than not voting in my opinion. That being said, this is a topic I would not throw to the internet to help you decide. The way you have written your post you’re opening yourself up to a lot of partisan replies from the good people of both sides that will probably not aid massively in your decision making process.
Since there is a power imbalance, I would not put much stock in praise like that. People not wanting to leave, not calling in sick a lot, not going to HR to complain are probably some better indicators, with the caveat that every job is different and those are not universally applicable criteria.
You’re answering your own question.

There is a lot of talk about bringing back the wooly mammoth that way but they are collecting funds and not delivering so far. I think some celebrity cloned their dog but IIRC they took samples while the OG puppy was still around. To be fair, I am not sure about that story.
Technically, it’s probably possible with a human but the science isn’t quite there yet. They like to test this first on other creatures before they graduate to bringing back Napoleon or whoever. And that is saying nothing about ethical and legal restrictions on top of that.
I think it’s the same everywhere in the developed world. There are things that will just keep virtually forever, like honey or tea bags, but they come with an expiry date of some sort. Because at some point, allegedly, ol’ moneybags himself lobbied for legislation like that to make people buy more stuff.
I’m in Japan and if I didn’t blatantly disregard the dates and guidance they print on bread I’d never finish a pack.
Did you hear about that curved building in London that reflected light so well you could cook an egg in the street a block away? I think you could make an argument for white surfaces to reflect light into buildings but full blown mirrors are probably a fire hazard.
It’s a stressful situation, a funeral. It seems insurmountable before it happens and once it gets going it becomes mostly manageable. I get why you don’t want the stress and all the family dynamics and the religious top layer.
That being said: yes, you are unreasonable. If you like going to funerals, there is something wrong with you. Nobody likes it. For much the same reasons as yours. That’s the baseline.
Think of it as a game and try to avoid talking to all the family members you don’t like. And since it will be your father’s funeral, you have the perfect excuse to have a thousand mile stare and be monosyllabic. And then you treat yourself when it’s over.
There is no need to make your father sad now. Tell him you’ll attend. Because it matters to him. Even if you have no intention to show up, which you should though. He’ll either come back to haunt you from the afterlife (slim chance) or the only people who will maintain a grudge are your living relatives. That’s the bed you’ll be making for yourself and you can avoid a whole lot of additional shit in the future by investing half a day and attend the goddamn funeral.
