“We did our research!” (flat earthing intensifies)

I’m kidding I see your point

“tRuSt tHe sCieNCe!”

This is a joke of course…well kinda. When science is done well it can change the world. Who would be against that?

I don’t like the phrase because while the process of science seeks to be as factual and unbiased as possible those in the scientific community are still human. They are fallible, corruptible and can do things for their own personal gain or profit. So to me it could mistakenly misunderstood as “trust science blindly”

But “Trust the science that is validated by multiple reputable sources” just doesn’t roll off the tongue as nicely

No no no we just fill the plates with tannerite and ball bearings so as soon as a shooter hits a backpack the shooter is taken out AND ends the suffering of the victims!

Honestly it’s not off the table and it would be easier than completely overhauling our firearm sale/posession systems. Have a box of them in a classoom in case of emergency, just like having a fire extinguisher or first aid kit.

Soft armor doesn’t stop rifle rounds. Plate carriers are heavy and suck to move around in. Sizing is another issue since most are made for men not kids. But maybe it would be a good investment since they can be stored and reused for quite a while

I genuinely think that improving access to mental health resources would do more good. Find out what is causing a small subset of kids to want to shoot people and usually themselves. Guns are a symptom not the core issue imo

Were they bullied? Did the faculty care? What did the family situation look like? Were requests for help ignored?

I think it would help with the overall trend of more depressed/suicidal kids too.

I got some of my trama from the TV cart! I watched 9/11 on that thing

Like what kind? Believing in higher powers doesn’t have to mean that you don’t belive in evolution/natural adaptation taking place over time.

If it was “God made everything in a few earth days and nothing changed” then yeah I feel you

I have traveled a decent amount. For new places using gps get around works but what’s key for me is building a mental map, especially when walking around on foot.

I’m going to rant a bit bear with me. Have you ever read a book that described a room (“The pub was cozy and small. A well cleaned bar gleamed along the wall to the side and the restroom door was across from it on the other”) only to give direction way later that throws off your mental image (“he took a sharp left and walked to the restroom”)? If it doesn’t match how things looked in your head it can be disorienting to the reader. I hate that feeling and the same thing can happen during navigation.

I make an effort to check maps of a city to get a lay of the land even though I know I have gps to help. I never fully memorise stuff but when I see any landmarks or streets they have some context and I know where it should go on the mental map. Sometimes I might be temporarily unsure of my exact location but I don’t get hopelessly lost.

It would potentially fall under “fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine” that would make it inadmissable for actual court cases but otherwise there’s nothing to stop people from gathering information that is available to the public

NBC keeps trying to take down the footage from youtube but it’s out there

We can always do the “nothing beyond my immediate observation can be trusted” method like the flat earthers do

What’s the hold up? I’ve heard about the trip extension but not why

You joke (walmart people need their own nature documentary) but if someone ever figured out urban camouflage militaries would pay stupid amounts of money for it

In most places there isn’t one “best” camo because seasons change. For example flecktarn might be the best in summer but when fall and winter makes everything brown Multicam/OCP can become the best choice.

But this map is better than some versions with weird hard to find latterns like Alpenflage, Rhodesian Brushstroke and Finnish M05

Thanks for coming to my TED talk https://sh.itjust.works/c/camouflage

Before the spandex Karens there were the camo Carls

Libraries don’t charge me, that’s the beauty of it. I can exist there with or without a library card. Drink water, use the bathroom, read all day etc. The taxes pay for the maintenance and resources.

Can’t taxes pay for state park maintenance behind the scenes the same way rather than charging at the door? I get they want money from visitors using the park but there’s things like fuel taxes and hotel taxes and campground fees that could pay into that too. I don’t know what the actual fee for entry would be but still I think that having a fee to exist in nature feels kind of dystopian to me idk.

Places like parks and libraries are places where you can expect to go without the expectation of paying money. If I visit as a person from out of town I shouldn’t have to go get a library card to get into a park for free in my opinion.

Don’t get me wrong even if I wouldn’t go there long term Cali is still on the visit list, it’s just a matter of time and opportunity

The more I learn about Cali’s laws and taxes the less I want to live there, which sucks because the landscape can be so beautiful

If you update point info or building info, when you change the address the spot doesn’t move. It just changes the info listed about that old location spot/building.

You’ll have to find the new location, map the building if it isn’t and then fill in the info about it to include the address. You can drag the marker over or place a new one

Thank you for taking the time to look after your local businesses!
