- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 4 weeks ago:
The person I replied to specifically said it was part of the 7th grade curriculum.
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 4 weeks ago:
I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting with a gun after.
That’s crazy. I had no idea anyone had a class like that. We’re basically training kids to be school shooters… at school?

This particular news cycle has me closing everything after like 5 seconds.
- Comment on What is with this new generation of shooters writing stuff on the bullets? Is this some new fad like if I go deer hunting or something I write FUCK BAMBI on the bulllet? 4 weeks ago:
And even before ammo, people would name and/or engrave their swords.

I didn’t realize there were so many “largest collection of _______” records.
Some of these are clearly expensive collections but then some of them are like:

-
Reality TV. Being young and attractive are key factors. Being a contestant on Survivor or something.
-
Combat sports, if your fights are on TV. Talent is not required, but being young and athletic are important. At the low end of the sport are regular people who drive cabs. If you can beat 5 of them, being 5-0 is probably enough to justify a page.

- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 4 months ago:
Sounds like your basing this on a new tech vs. old tech? Not looking at safety rates?
You can achieve airspeed at 35 mph in a small enough craft. A propeller plane is simply slower. Airplanes as a whole are extremely safe.

It’s infuriating that medical care costs so much and yet the employees are broke.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Are we only comparing the best of the best in each? Because both can be great in their best form.
But if I had to pick one and lose the other, for the good of society, I can’t imagine the videos are helping more than the written word is helping.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Videos can be misleading, unhelpful, and fail to paint the whole picture. Look no further than the society we live in today, where loads of fake videos get pumped out and then we need written articles to explain all the things wrong with the video.
Obviously fake info can be written down too, but we have a much bigger problem with fake videos.

You’ll be at work, walking opposite direction as a co-worker who you are seeing for the first time that day. You can’t stop to talk, so you only have time for a 1-3 word answer max.

My parents don’t tell me I’m living wrong, but it seems to be the basis of every religion someone tries to sell me.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 4 months ago:
Because the app seems to think “ad free” can include ads as long as they carry a “skip” button. Which are still ads.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 4 months ago:
Yeah ad blockers are great for that. I know from experience Peacock with ads will all be blocked if you have an ad blocker. But that only works on my computer not my Roku.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 4 months ago:
It clearly says it’s on the paid tier only?
Not that I care much one way or the other. I’m still frustrated with HBO Max selling me “ad free” and then putting a skippable ad at the start of every video. It’s not ad free if there’s a “skippable” ad!
