    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.

    It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.

        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.

          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)

        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

          Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.

        Are the drones flown by AI? …looks like there’s even more money to be made!

      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.

        You said

        and yet you also said

        in the very same post.

        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”

        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.
