This is such a tricky subject.
You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
Or.
MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.
I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.
YouTube has a thing where if you’re on data and not wifi, they will not let you watch explicit videos even if you’re signed into your account, which may or may not be old enough to drink, itself.
You have to do a thing in your phone’s connection settings and hook it to a specific DNS (like “dns.adguard.com”, which allows you to play mobile games while connected to a network without any ads)

I’m skeptical any of this would be more than a bandaid solution, a large part of the problem has got to be how highschool in the US is just inherently a miserably dehumanizing experience.
If “progress” here means drugging students to tolerate their circumstances, or holding the threat of pepper spray drones over them (doubt this will stay limited to active shooter scenarios), I think it might be progress in the wrong direction.
I guess that makes sense. It just frustrates me that the scope of the discussion is all solutions that would not help directly with any problems potentially murderously suicidal teens have in their lives, the growth of those problems which you might imagine is the reason this has become a trend, but instead basically just preventing them from responding destructively.
The drones, stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated. The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas—provide constant live video feeds to first responders and, in some cases, fire nonlethal projectiles to delay or incapacitate an assailant.
To me, these aren’t a bad idea. Immediate response and non-ISH-lethal. They are simply the progression of enforcement technology.
What they are not, is a solution to school shootings. They are not even a bandaid. Some people (law makers) just don’t seem to know what “prevention” means.
I wouldn’t want some bored trigger happy gun nutjob from Texas playing shoot the bad guys with pepper spray on a games console where my kids and their multi ethnic friends are the NPCs.
That’s a fair assessment. I’m guessing it’s that way because that’s where the company that operates this is. Which, now that I think about it, probably is a poor way to manage the whole program.
So I’ll post-edit to say: “with local pilot and oversight”
stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated
So much about that sentence doesn’t make sense though…
“secure boxes” but “a button can open them” also “silent panic” with “drones out within 5 seconds”
In any event, the ‘nonlethal’ is generally considered a bad descriptor versus ‘less than lethal’, unless they are talking about something merely mildly annoying rather than the usual things like rubber or bag rounds.

It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.
This isn’t tik tok you can say Motherfucking.
In fact I’d prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.

Why are you lying online?
It is a plague but not because you can’t swear.
man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad
people can say “I would drive over them” about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, “I’d drive over you tbh”, nope, not okay.
not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context
Ploppers
do we have to have this same argument every godsdamned thread?
Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.
just, i’m tired boss. no one likes being the language police, no one like being language policed. just let people talk.
but which of those options will make more money for the people in charge?
Are the drones flown by AI? …looks like there’s even more money to be made!
🤢

Do not accept perfection as an enemy of progress!
If “progress” here means drugging students to tolerate their circumstances, or holding the threat of pepper spray drones over them (doubt this will stay limited to active shooter scenarios), I think it might be progress in the wrong direction.
I’m pretty sure they meant that the gun regulation, help and free healthcare would be progress, not so much the drugs and the drones.
I guess that makes sense. It just frustrates me that the scope of the discussion is all solutions that would not help directly with any problems potentially murderously suicidal teens have in their lives, the growth of those problems which you might imagine is the reason this has become a trend, but instead basically just preventing them from responding destructively.
You’re right there. Yes.

Understandable, common typo in MY GUNS! land.
