Trying to hop on that ADHD train.

Daily commuting can also go.

No stranger on the internet will have better advice than the honest local expert.

The only advice I can give for household things is that if you want your investment to actually mature properly, you have to listen to the professionals. They'll save you lots of money in the long run.

I mean, traffic cameras are a thing...and robot dogs with guns are now a thing. So we're not too far off from a drone performing a no-knock raid for an unpaid traffic ticket.

Maybe the devs want Reddit to implode.

Randomly have green lights on my commute so I don't have to slow down goddamnit.

Exactly, you can't control when it happens. So hello spawning thousands of bills at the local swimming pool.

Bigger plot twist it applies too well and you use it once and go to jail.

They've really come a long way. The one near me has gaming rooms for computers now. Free DVD rental, there's a tea lounge, etc.

Constantly reinventing themselves.

Amen to that

I think the trick is knowing that all of us are in it together and even the most 'regular/typical' of us have our demons.

Love and kindness, even a little bit to each individual, goes a long way to helping everyone.

At least it was quick.

Yeah, totally on purpose. This was a long time ago and mental health wasn't taken as seriously as it is now. Today it would have been called PTSD and he would have gotten help had he been born 20 years later.

You know poison control hotlines? EMTs on the scene had to call them for advise. So if the local poison control center doesn't know the answer right away, they have to call the next higher one which is like for the eastern half of the USA. They didn't know either and had to call up to the one which was in charge of the whole country.

Poison control toxicologists move fast. They know alot and have alot of resources on hand in case they dont. I guess this was one of the first times they had ever heard of ingestion of chemicals from a fire extinguisher in the country.

By the time it got up to national level, which was only a few minutes, the guy was gone. Autopsy basically showed the dudes lung was stone. Everything down to alevoli was filled completely.

Damn right there are better ways. Must have been scary as hell for everyone.

On a serious note (tada), there was a suicide in my town with a fire extinguisher. Guy turned his lungs to stone instantly inhaling the contents.

But jazz is great.

I agree, I studied abroad with a 12 hour difference and during the day there, when I browsed Reddit, most of the posts were lower quality because most people were asleep. (Sorry euro peeps)

It's when the evening came that the posts picked up quality and engaged me.

Now that I'm stateside, I feel like Reddit posters are completely and perpetually asleep (or just gone).

It's really wild to see reposts over and over. Like some Redditbot constantly spamming the same thing hoping to get some traction going for conversation.

Is Kim running low on food again? I feel I read something about a missile being fired every other week.

I only enjoy it after I'm done with it. Never before or during the workout. I still do it, just it's pulling teeth everyday.

Still getting used to Lemmy! I'm not getting notifications about when I'm being responded to. I dunno.

The "good guy with a gun" thing is absolutely hard to swallow, I can agree with that. But you must concede that if it wasn't true, why would the President and most politicians making gun laws have a security detail with guys that are armed with guns? Why would the police carry guns? Why do banks have security guards that carry guns?

It's also a weird argument to say that I have a 1/100 chance of being rescued by a guy with gun Vs being killed.

So the answer to defending yourself or others from the guy with the knife is what? Wait for someone else, like Uvalde? Be a meat shield? Even if it's 1 out of 100, I would rather not wait to be hurt.

Devil's advocate here, maybe he would've been stopped by a teacher with a gun before he got to even 1.

EDIT - or someone. If you were personally there with the ability to stop a madman with a knife and defend a child, are you saying you wouldn't use that power to stop him? I'm not talking anybody else here, I'm talking you, the reader.

EDIT2 - so what's the answer to this situation? I want to hear the ideas of those downvoting. Discourse is the opportunity, not a wall.
