There's no uniform definition, but groups with an agenda will count any discharge of a firearm on property owned by a school as a school shooting regardless of circumstances.

One notorious case was a person who committed suicide in the parking lot of a closed down school. It happened in the middle of the night and classes hadn't been held in that building for years. Advocacy groups still counted it.

NPR did a whole investigation into over reporting in 2018. Here's a link:

And anywhere that wants an indoor performance of the 1812 Overture.

Where did you find that "are"?

Exactly, that's why my parents didn't do santa with me and I'm not doing it with my kids.

Because they were lied to unnecessarily.

The parent is trading long term trust and respect in their relationship for short term compliance. That should only be done in emergencies.

Well, if a product doesn't exist in the European market, then it shouldn't exist at all. /s

The egg processor saw an opportunity to easily offer a novelty product. That's why we're talking about it at all: it's a novelty.

While eggs are being prepared for shipment and packaged they are inspected, or "candleled". A light is shone through the eggs, which makes things like defects, rot, or blood vessels apparent so those eggs can be removed from the line.

Presumably this company processes eggs on such a scale that they pull the double yolks found during candling and sells them as a separate product.

By reading enough history to know that the world isn't decaying around me.

We here at Terminal Velocity Aerospace prefer the term "post human product".

You can launch people out of a mass driver.

They'll die, but you can do it.

So I rewatched the bit after seeing the post. At least in the version I saw he specifically said they were nicknames.

I heard on NPR that a lot of the key ships and equipment the army used were almost decommissioned in 2019. The last time they were used was in Haiti in 2010.

Hopefully this convinces army brass to make the investment to maintain this capability.

I mean ... Have you met people?

Well, that's a braindead take if I've ever heard one.

Unless you live a subsistence lifestyle and somehow also produce all of the complex goods you need, you care.

A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would more or less kick off world war three. To say that's bad for everyday life is an understatement, and that's assuming nobody launches nukes.

Good luck with your endeavors.

I tried save you a lot of years of suffering, but you're obviously not ready to drop the hate and resentment.

I hope you're ready for that soon, for everyone's sake.

I spent years being horrible to women and drinking because of the resentments I had.

Don't make my mistake.

Victimhood does not magically bestow virtue.

Victimhood is not a free pass to behave immorally.

Victimhood is not permission to be prejudiced.

Victimhood does not give a person permission to hate.

Mistrusting half of the human population because of the genes they were born with isn't being cautious, it's being prejudiced.

I was sexually assaulted by a female family member as a child. Repeatedly. I was then made to believe that that was "fun" and to seek it out.

My experience does not under any circumstances allow me to be a misogynist.

I find bigotry wrong. It took a lot of years to process what happened to me at the ripe old age of six, but it was my moral responsibility to do so rather than to take the shortcut to hatred.

By your logic a person who gets assaulted by a black person allowed to prejudge all black people.

I feel perfectly fine saying that's morally wrong.
