We’re all Tom on OurSpace.

Lord, I had a cheap PA system for band practice with a blue power LED that felt like it was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

So I put some duct tape on it.

Then it felt like the light from under the duct was gonna bore a hole through my eyes.

That’s like free beer for your dog or kitchen stove. Here in Idaho, we try not to anthropomorphize our property.

All that performance enhancing Geritol.

I don’t think anything could possibly chide him more than simply forgetting and continuing to call it Twitter.

Appreciate the cooler response, despite that we started by snipping at each other.

I can’t say I have the answers, but I figure it’s a start, along with greater oversight and accountability. Doing better with general education helps build more people with common sense. Better mental healthcare. Better emotional education. Gun laws that are actually common sense about restrictions without being sweeping and mindless. A more common sense gun culture.

Injecting more guns just feels like a simple answer to a complex question that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. That just creates more unpredictable factors, which isn’t something you ever want when you’re trying to secure a situation.

We’re so culturally and infrastructurally damaged that we can barely implement any solutions. I don’t know what fixes that.

I seem to recall a could of incidents of cops leaving guns in school restrooms.

But you seem to want to extrapolate more from my short comment.

I’m not anti gun at all. Might even have a few. However, having attended a rural public school I know many of my former teachers are a lot like my neighbors. Dumb, irresponsible bullies. Not all of them, but it’s not an uncommon deal.

In the end, it’s not that I think most people are dumb, just that people are people and we are our own weakest link. We’re the least reliable part of a system.

And yeah, we often implement things in the most pants shittingly stupid way possible. Especially when it’s something born or of a culture built and nurtured as a political tool.

Really, FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.

Or an unattended gun is picked up by a child. Of course, this will be used to further attack public schools.

Do they? I just moved back to the rural area I grew up in after spending ten years in Cleveland.

Cleveland’s not the greatest, but there’s dick around here outside of Walmart. I can drive 30 minutes into the nearest small city if I need a Home Depot or something, but Cleveland had tons of choices by comparison. Not a ton of restaurants, most are same ish or eaten up by Applebee’s. Fast food is even pretty limited.

Back in the day we had small shops, but most are dead now…

You act like people are just having sex all the time in real life, but as we all know real people rarely ever have sexual relationships. Now if the characters had to masturbate once a day to cartoon characters…
