Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

biracial bear for uncut posted:

A shooting that occurs on school property is literally a school shooting.

If a police officer accidentally discharging his firearm on school property and hurting nobody is a school shooting and two gang members who don't even attend school exchanging gunfire on school property on a Saturday night when school isn't even in session is a school shooting and a kid bringing a bunch of guns to school and using them to murder 50 classmates is a school shooting than the claim that "There have been 11 school shootings so far this year and it's still only January" is way, way less informative than if "school shooting" had a well-defined meaning.

When you hear “school shooting”, I can sure as hell bet the image in your mind isn’t a cop and criminal justice student mixing up a simulator prop and his duty gun and accidentally putting a hole in the wall. “11 school shootings” implies that there’s been 11 times someone has gone and started murdering people at school.

You can talk about American school shootings without resorting to deception to dramatically inflate the count.

Oh lordy, someone might think there were 11 school shootings instead of just 9. What a goddamn travesty that would be.

That statistic isn't true and is really misleading. It includes every instance involving a firearm or something similar being discharged at or near a school, including two suicides and a dude shooting a BB gun at a school bus.

A lot of folks have already rightfully climbed up your rear end for this, but I also want to add

gently caress you

I read the book that’s regarded as the best source on the shooting, including the psychology behind it, the effects it had in inspiring copycat crimes, and possible ways of preventing similar occurrences.

Peter Thiel has regular infusions of child's blood because he believes it will prolong his lifespan

That's not a joke.

So does Keith Richards, which he credits as the phylactery to his eternal lichdom.

Just pops over to Sweden once a year, gets his blood done. Just swap that old, worn blood out with some fresh blood of the innocents. Keep rocking 20, 30 years past your peers.

edit: to the dude above, look at the two circles as a venn diagram.

Considering my regular group just spent some time while our warlock was away for a few weeks by creating really dumb characters and then playing through a scenario called "A Sanctuary of Belches," I'd play this. It probably wouldn't be boring.
