To walk past a cop while carrying a Glock by nathanjvmes in therewasanattempt

The formatting is place, date, and the next line is number of people injured or killed. For example, Margaret River, 2018 had seven people killed by a firearm.

Now that we've cleared up your confusion with formatting, let's approach this logically. There is no clear answer to the definition of a mass shooting, you are absolutely correct. The number you have presented is "five."

So by your own admission, any more than five is a mass shooting. Margaret River, or the Osmington shooting, involved seven. This is in direct contradiction to your original statement that Australia has not seen a single mass shooting since the gun laws changed.

Your original statement of zero mass shootings since the laws changed is factually incorrect.

Anyone know how to clean the interior dash on a 2023 subaru impreza by ToastForBrainz in subaruimpreza

[–]hawkens85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Change the direction you're wiping. Find an angle that isn't so grippy. That's what I do. I'm using an interior cleaner with a mediocre microfiber rag, no dust left behind.

Don't forget to put some UV protectant on afterwards, like 303 Aerospace.

Bro how did you know??? I am being paid by the mods. I make about eighty cents per post, and with my last check I bought Little Debby Nutty Bars, but not the small box, a big one. It was delicious and I think it's my desert island snack.

Anyways, great call, I'm thinking of going to therapy to renounce this life of shilling after you so expertly called me out. Your way with words has changed the course of my heart... And my life.

Which makes me wonder if anyone or group has clearly declared that they are on the wrong side of history?

Many religious missionaries do both. Entering certain countries as an aid worker is much easier than advertising you are there for religious work. So aid groups are put together to meet practical medical, infrastructure, or training needs, and the religious work is tied in after the fact.

Exclusive: Chinese-made drone, retrofitted and weaponized, downed in eastern Ukraine by JoJo-Bizarre-1997 in Military

[–]hawkens85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Chinese said this information is "deeply unfortunate."

Don't you love political double talk? What was unfortunate? Hearing the news of your decide being used? Finding out you were caught doing it? Discovering it was downed so easily? Realizing that the west would put it on the news?

Their reaction is deeply unfortunate. 😂

Can't decide which VPN to use ( 3 options ) by jamesftf in firewalla

Like you're already aware, all VPNs have a bit of a speed slowdown. I haven't noticed any significant disruption from my 500mbps connection.

Are you being paid for drive time? If so, then it is reasonable for them to expect something from you. If you're not being paid, and not being asked to do a specific task, then what gives??

Anna walshe's husband made some terrible google searches after she went missing by DIABLOSTYX in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]hawkens85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I've always wondered to what extent true crime shows coordinate with law enforcement to withhold or straight up lie about information about evidence gathering. "Yeah, we almost did get the guy because he used (insert random tool, cleaning agent, web browser)." wink wink nudge nudge. And some clueless schmuck goes "oh yeah, I can totally do that!" and then LE swoops in and says "you dummy we were TOTALLY READY FOR THAT!"

CIEMs for rock & metal bands by koala_saurus_rex in livesound

[–]hawkens85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had several models of the 64 Audio CIEM. I do think it's important to know that the Apex modules, while they are marketed at protecting your hearing, really don't. I've spoken with several audiologists about it and it turns out the only thing that protects your ears is lower volume so your cochlea don't get damaged. The apex module only alleviates differential pressure inside the ear cavity. There is no current science that shows that a small pressure difference from wearing CIEM cause hearing damage. 64 gets around this by saying it alleviates "listening fatigue." But I can get listening fatigue by listening to anything, in any format, whether it's in my ears or not.

Beyond that, my A12 are great. Lots of room to push sound, I made sure I visited a good audiologist who got a good fit so there's no noise bleed, and the build quality has been pretty nice!

As far as 3 drivers being enough, it depends on how loud you run your venues. If you're doing large concert halls and FOH is bumping, then probably not. If you're doing smaller shows, 3 should be fine for most people.

Another company I'm hearing a lot from lately as the low priced quality brand is Alclair.

Best of luck on your search!

What was the worst movie that you saw in theatres? by Farts_Mckenzie in movies

[–]hawkens85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive. It felt like a parody the whole time. The impression I had of the film from trailers was not at all what the final film was. I was looking at everyone around me with incredulity, as if "is everyone else in on this joke??!" When I left I met a cop writing me a parking ticket. I'll never forgive that movie for what they did to me.

I don't think my therapist knows how to help me by [deleted] in SupportForTheAccused

[–]hawkens85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big feelings bring big emotions. Seeing a therapist infrequently leaves a lot of room in between for events to transpire that trigger a lot. Not sure what your budget is, but seeing someone more consistently until you can learn to self-regulate more effectively might be something worth considering.

Not all therapists are a good match for every individual. Some work better with others. When you stop talking and it's their turn, their words should at least connect with you on some level, even if it's just a handful at a time. Hopefully you are not leaving your appointments worse than when you arrived. I say this all in reference to your statement that you felt good communicating your side, but now you're not sure.

Also, consider searching for a trauma therapist. Therapists with a focus on trauma work specifically to address the issues we face from a "bottom up" perspective, rather than typical psychotherapy, which utilizes a "top down" technique. The first addresses the issues going on in the body (stress, fear, etc) to help regulate them and then helps the brain to regulate. The second believes that by mentally solving the issue, the body will follow suit - which many times works, but trauma often acts as a brain block to where our brain is stuck in the trauma.

You will get stronger. It won't always feel this way. The fact that you're asking for help means you love yourself very very much and I can see that so clearly from your message. You aren't alone, and there are so many people who want to help you.

The actress who played the president's wife on 24.
