My "vacation" is a euphemism for war tourism in Ukraine for some "bloody work" to escape my boring techie job and family.

Ask me about my warcrimes.

I know a lot of people like to draw comparisons to Columbine, or talk about how Columbine was bullshit weewee stuff compared to today and all that jazz, but it is worth remembering that Columbine was only known as a shooting because it was an unsuccessful bombing. Like there were a shitload of bombs in there and if they'd been even a little more competent the kill count would have been absurd (and was planned to be). The shooting aspect of Colmbine was always intended to be peripheral and in fact was representative of Plans A, B, C, D etc. failing. It's a mercy the bombs didn't go off and were mostly forgotten, and that mercy extends because the copycats apparently do almost no research and don't realize Columbine was not actually pulled off "correctly".

I say this is because Millennials are too lazy to actually read through the books and long-form articles about it. Don't dismiss Columbine out of hand just because it's an old event, it was MAD hosed up even by "school shooting" standards (really, again, an unsuccessful multi-bombing). It should have been an even bigger canary in the coal mine than it was.

LOL, generations only care about the defining events for their generation, nothing else matters. It didn't help that the reaction to Columbine was Hillary Clinton, Tipper Gore, Joe Liberman, and Jack Thompson spend the next several years chasing after video games and heavy metal. Columbine and the response rapidly became a punching bag of olds freaking out over cultural issues they had no clue about and liberal idiocy run rampant.

Russia isn't even acknowledging that their contractors died and the Russian government hasn't even officially told the dead guys' families yet. They get to learn about their son's death from Trump!
