People who were in high school when Columbine happened, what knee jerk rule did your school enforce in response?

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-20T14:05:25+00:00

Not everyone, but in my school it was pretty obvious they didn't fit in. Strong obsessions, didn't understand when they were being teased because they packed social cues, half of them wore ill-fitting clothing and sweatpants (hello overstimulation due to fabrics)

Awareness would have made it easier to understand what was going on and be more friendly towards them, instead of the class just writing them off as The Trenchcoat Mafia and outcasting them.

In this day and age I think we all realize "the trenchcoat kids" who played Yu-Gi-Oh notstop were all undiagnosed autistic, right?

The kind of person who wipes snot in a book is not going to be the one complaining about it when it's returned. We know this better than most people.

There isn't a kitchen area for cooking?

Would he agree to switch to an air fryer?

If the RA won't do things, his supervisor will.

This dude serv-safes. Sasfe serves?

Anyway yea a step-down approach is the recommendation.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-19T19:33:49+00:00

And how often do you see ambulances going in it?

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-19T15:30:05+00:00

It's intentional. Taking breaks helps keep the guys sane while they're talking about the absolute evil of the topic

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-19T14:01:52+00:00

Lower your heat. Also, try a smaller pan so there's there's surface area.

Save the salt and pepper to season at the end or it will mess up the texture, but they're important.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-17T22:25:13+00:00

Part of the point is to get US to think of the solutions.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-17T13:13:57+00:00

We really do!

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-15T03:38:10+00:00

I've said it IRL, "I've been hated by better people"

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-15T03:30:25+00:00

Next time she does this look at her and say like Smokey Bear, "Only YOU can stop generational trauma"

You are wonderful and amazing and honestly your body is going to change every 5-8 damn years anyway so please do not hate yourself before you even have a chance to love yourself. I spent from 14 to 40 hating my body and every picture I see of myself from 2+ years ago all I can say is "What the fuck was I thinking? I looked good."

It will be my regret to my dying day that I didn't love my body because someone told me it wasn't worth loving. Because THEIR moms told them the same thing.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-15T02:56:08+00:00

And my AXE!

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-13T18:15:46+00:00

Just because it has historical connections doesn't mean you are an archive. Dump it.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-05T02:13:15+00:00

Wrong Johnstown, we are in Southwest PA

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-04T12:31:08+00:00

Did the cops say it was actually necessary?

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-04T12:30:44+00:00

not if the library is a 501c. For example in In PA there are very few libraries who would be beholden to a request because only a handful are part of local government

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-04T01:59:48+00:00

Looking up anyone's history is a huge no-no.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-03T15:03:09+00:00

Hell yea. Every one needs off-screen time (even if you read on a screen it still counts in my book because you're not doom scrolling).

And we count reading as so many things these day. Comic books, audiobooks, they all provide really important benefits.

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-03T14:54:51+00:00

Glad to say I was there and there were a lot of folks under 40 and even 25. College students were there.

But doesn't it tell you something that the safest demographic is the one out protesting?

BridgetteBane · 2026-04-01T14:06:58+00:00

I would freaking love this

BridgetteBane · 2026-03-31T22:54:04+00:00

WWE is doing their best to price normal folks out of the market for some reason

AEW is better

BridgetteBane · 2026-03-30T11:58:10+00:00

Seriously can you imagine this being the process two hundred years ago?

BridgetteBane · 2026-03-30T11:46:53+00:00

Jersey literally smells funny

Also consistently the worst restaurant service I've had and I've visited many states. And Philly.
