FelixMortane@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Trump official declaring ‘anyone who preaches hate for America’ will be deported worries users: ‘They just skip the First Amendment’English235·3 months agoUnless the people do something about, Trump and the government are exactly America. If no one stops it and just complies, then it is endorsement by default.

Characters keep their memories and experience, no one else in the town remembers a thing. Always say the same lines, etc.
FelixMortane@lemmy.cato Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•‘MAGA Junkie’ Fired in DOGE Cuts Now Regrets Voting for Trump: ‘I Expected Better’English4·3 months agoHope no one else will hire either. They deserve that they get, because there are so many people who voted against and are getting the same or worse.
Yes please, I will vote to support this.

Edit : I deleted the last part of my comment as I initially thought you a Russian bot with a comment like that. Seems instead you are a centrist.
FelixMortane@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.ml•Moscow comes under 'massive' drone attack leaving civilians killed and three injuredEnglish2414·4 months agoMaybe read your own article?
“…In certain other locations in which Amnesty International concluded that Russia had committed war crimes, including in some areas of the city of Kharkiv, the organization did not find evidence of Ukrainian forces located in the civilian areas unlawfully targeted by the Russian military.”
Using your same source (therefore I assume you accept it as credible) here are a few articles from this year showing Russia as the problem in the conflict, including one specifically calling out the Russia war crimes against civilians (you should particularly pay attention to the link to the report about “deadly Russian airstrikes on civilians”)

FelixMortane@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why do the femcels and the incels not.... date each other?English4·5 months agoBoth are equally intolerable and they don’t even want to be around each other.
BRICKFROG!
Your terribly cherry picked facts of taking only the deaths against the population (or so I assume, you have shown no work) are still dishonest to the issue. Napkin math shows that at least about 0.5% of US schools have had a school shooting in 2024 (546 incidents with 115,171 schools). “My facts are from the Brady Institute and are 100% correct.” is just simply incorrect as there are more victims of school shootings than the 414 deaths (the lowest it has been in 5 years, so not even an average)
Oh, and referencing the Brady Institute. I assume you mean this one?

The one fighting gun violence in schools with the exact opposite morale standing and talking points you mentioned?You are likely the same kind of person who is saying “wHy diD wE mAke aLl thEm ozOnE lAws, iT’s fiNE nOW! wHaT a waSTe”.
Additional article for you as well, in general gun related deaths are the leading cause of death for children and teens. I guess that is inconsequential as well. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/guns-remain-leading-cause-of-death-for-children-and-teens
Final point, I know I would never be able to change your mind / view point. The only hope is that others who read this back and forth also come to the realization that your numbers and position is full of crap.
You are correct, that was a flaw in my process.
If a child makes it from K to G12, that is 13 years of school. Checking a quick chart showing the number of enrollment in schools from in the 80’s and 90’s, enrollment was lower. Once it hit 2005, it is between 49m-51m. If we cut the percentage in half to and round down to 0.3%, my statement of the 4x magnitude still stands.
Thank you for considering, checking and bring up that misrepresentation in my previous number.
We can start by acknowledging that you are already pushing the line to minimize the issue by trying to make it about physical harm only, not psychological harm of being in an related incident.
Most recent data is from 2022, and indicates there are 49.6 million school aged children in the US. The closest we have to official numbers around children involved in gun violence in school shootings since 1999 starting with Columbine comes from the Washington Post (because, for some reason, the US government doesn’t track this). It says that 338,000 children have been involved over this time period.
That comes out to 0.7% of all school aged children have been involved in a school shooting in the US. Your 'bullshit, pulled from your ass, percentage above is 4 magnitudes off of reality. That is the same as you finding a ten dollar bill and loudly yelling “I JUST FOUND $100,000!”.
Do better and suck less. This is just around your claims as well, that is setting aside the monstrous view point that any percentage of kids would be acceptable to be involved in school shootings.
Fuck yes for Blind Guardian call

I think it is the fact her eyes always look like she is squinting with a “we both know everything I am doing is wrong, but you can’t do shit about it” kind of energy.
Right there with you
