They tell us to hide but my teacher in one class (she's not technically a professor lol) was like "that's some stupid shit. Getcha ass up and try to run away."
But I feel you.
They made us attend an hour long session at freshman orientation that was literally all about not being racist and shit like that.
I could've summed it up in about 45 seconds and a handful of words:
"use common sense and don't be a fucking asshole. Thanks everyone!"
(I slept through the session until someone woke me up lol) -
@SukMikeHok It's really not as bad as people make it sound.
I mean shit! We went all summer long without a school shooting. -
@Stuxnet that is what they mention to the students as a part of their prevention class.
It just makes sense y know? Dont be a dick to others and don't push them to those extremes. Some people are dangerous even without being provoked. It just sucks so much. -
@SukMikeHok you are missing out man. We got Trump, Trump is meme GOLD.
In all seriousness tho. Where is your ass from? -
@mrmr isn't it scary knowing thar your entire ecosystem wants to kill you though?
I reckon i have a better chance with a gun and a white kid than I would have in your wonderful homeland my friend. -
Nobody talks about the number of prevented public shooting attempts and why they were prevented (hint: there have been many, and the success usually involves responsible citizens with guns). Nobody talks about why the shootings that happen got that far. Parkland was a preventable disaster (kid asked for help, never got it, there was a security audit that was ignored, etc.) The guy who shot up the movie theater in Colorado was spotted doing his reconnaissance but nobody investigated, etc.
Unfortunately we get all political and/or try to treat symptoms and ignore causes. -
@powerfulparadox i was not talking about any of those things either either or at a really

@AleCx04 I am aware. I simply thought that it might be a constructive addition of perspective that is often ignored during such discussions. I take full responsibility for the tangential nature of my comment's relevance (if any).
!rant or at least not dev related
I work at a school. Sometimes we get some weird training and shit we have to attend to. This time it had to do with what to do in the event of an active shooter.
Because you know. The U.S IS full of angry white kids with guns that if fucked up enough will just take fire on people.
Well, as a military veteran. I feel pretty confident in knowing what to do when some asshole is trying to get his expert marksman badge on me. So i requested not to waste my valuable time on such bs. I was promptly denied and encouraged to attend the bs training.
The first dumbshit thing they tell you to do is to turn the lights off and hide(if you decide to not fight) for which I mentioned that it would not work.
You see. Our entire buildings have motion sensors on each room which would TURN the fucking lights on if you move........ and even though you can turn the switch on..some offices would still work through the motion sensor....exhibit A: my office.
Fuck this. Couldn't i just keep one of my guns with me?? It would just take about 2 shoots really....and I promise they would stay in.
This sucks man. I need to move to Canadia. I don't want my kids having to hear about "mandatory active shooter training"
That fucking bullshit should never be a norm.
10 bucks and a life says i have better aim than some crazy kid.
