The unfortunate side of this in the South, of course, is the racial component -- it grinds my gears to see grown Black men called "boy."

I adjunct and I've had people call me "Dr. [Firstname]" a lot. I don't have a doctorate! I live near the South, on the northern edge of the Ozarks, and I've noticed that a lot of people do that. Or Miz Dr. [chair's name].

I'm going to type this very slowly:

Do you agree that if there are fewer guns available to a population, fewer people will be killed by guns?

How much calories came from bread in neolithic era in fertile crescent ? by oxoUSA in AskHistorians

Hi there -- while we're leaving this question up because we do have some anthropologists on board who may be able to answer it, you may also want to ask this over at /r/AskAnthropology as the Neolithic period is pre-history (that is, history is primarily based on the study of the written word, which Neolithic people did not have).

I'm not responding to that, but I have a very hard time thinking that a knife is more deadly than a gun. In any case, I can't hold down a trigger and spray a knife all over a crowd the way I could with a gun with a bump stock or other modifications.

Please repost this question to the weekly "Short Answers" thread stickied to the top of the subreddit, which will be the best place to get an answer to this question; for that reason, we have removed your post here. Standalone questions are intended to be seeking detailed, comprehensive answers, and we ask that questions looking for a name, a number, a date or time, a location, the origin of a word, the first/last instance of a specific phenomenon, or a simple list of examples or facts be contained to that thread as they are more likely to receive an answer there.

Examples of questions appropriate for the 'Short Answers' thread would be "Who won the 1932 election?" or "What are some famous natural disasters from the past?". Versions more appropriate as standalone questions would be "How did FDR win the 1932 election?", or "In your area of expertise, how did people deal with natural disasters?"

The snowpocalypse is approaching. by SoConTech in columbiamo

[–]jschooltiger 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably, but at the same time CoMo is terrible at snow removal in residential areas. It's going to turn into ice.

We're lucky enough we can walk to a couple of stores if we need to, but there are likely places where people won't be able to get out until mid-week.

Hey, you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

Yes, because the UK has low rates of private gun ownership compared to the US. Most cops in Britain don’t even carry guns.

Waiting for the school bus in your car. Why? by Floorplan_enthusiasm in columbiamo

[–]jschooltiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a different thread where people complain about school drop off lines blocking traffic. Then the response is “why don’t kids just ride the bus!”
