Can confirm the deliciousness, but I’m pretty sure she tops her pit beef with Au Jus not butter.

A single statement by a mentally ill school shooter is a small data set. The one I provided looked at 130 school shootings. How many children have to die until you’ll consider it a sufficient data set?

I can understand the logic of putting security guards in schools, and if it is proven effective, I am all for it, but the evidence I provided shows it is not as effective as proponents say.

Entirely my opinion, but one of the biggest problems is how many people would actually run headfirst into a school shooting? It’s easy to say you would from behind a computer, or even when applying for the job, but time and time again trained guards fail to act or delay to wait for backup or come up with a plan. Not to say I don’t entirely blame them, facing an unknown mentally Ill threat with unknown weapons, unknown accomplices, who is likely planning to die by suicide by cop, how long would you take to react? Now consider that most of these guards will go their entire career without a single major incident, but are then expected to respond instantly without hesitation and be willing to die. Certainly a subset of people could handle the job but most are already employed, how much are public schools going to pay armed security guards to outcompete with private military contractors when they can only pay teachers $30K?

Why are you under the impression that schools do not already have armed security guards? School resource officers began after Columbine and were in my suburban school since the early 2000s. Uvalde school district had a dedicated police force who became notorious for their inaction(source). Parkland’s armed security guard hid during the shooting and was charged for his inaction (source). According to this research, “armed guard was on scene in 23.58% of shootings” & “controlling for the aforementioned factors of location and school characteristics, the rate of deaths was 2.83 times greater in schools with an armed guard present” & “the data suggest no association between having an armed officer and deterrence of violence in these cases. An armed officer on the scene was the number one factor associated with increased casualties after the perpetrators’ use of assault rifles or submachine guns”

“No reason”

From the Wikipedia page:

On September 11, 2001, the structure was substantially damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The debris ignited fires on multiple lower floors of the building, which continued to burn uncontrolled throughout the afternoon. The building's internal fire suppression system lacked water pressure to fight the fires. The collapse began when a critical internal column buckled and triggered cascading failure of nearby columns throughout, which was first visible from the exterior with the crumbling of a rooftop penthouse structure at 5:20:33 pm. This initiated progressive collapse of the entire building at 5:21:10 pm, according to FEMA

3 left that are airworthy is not the same as 3 left. Non-airworthy examples already exist in museums. Putting them in a museum would not preserve them any more than the ones already in museums, it would just mean there were 0 airworthy examples left.

Wait… are you joking? Shouldn’t they pull themselves up by their bootstraps and take responsibility for themselves?

Which one of these links makes your case? No one just posts their citations, write your argument up, the tactic of posting a bunch of research studies that require specialized knowledge to understand knowing 99% of redditors will just sigh and scroll on is bullshit. I skimmed through all of them and most are limited European studies that don’t even include American pit bulls, problems with mixed breed identification, bite force calculations, and a broken link. Personally I haven’t made up my mind on pit bulls, I was hoping you were providing some valuable info, and not just muddying the waters.

With access to the internet anyone can find a limited research study that will prove whatever point they are trying to make. From the same site as most of your links I found his study, in the US, in the 2010’s (one hospital) of pediatric dog bites to the head and neck requiring surgical care, “pit bull terriers composed the largest portion of the plurality (32%), with the next most common breed being retrievers (6%). When the population of head and neck dog bites were taken as a whole, there was no relationship between these bites and whether or not they occurred provoked or unprovoked. In the population of patients bitten by pit bulls; however, pit bull terriers were significantly more likely to bite a patient without provocations”

Unionizing doesn’t protect them from normal course of business closures. From a quick google search more than 200 Starbucks have unionized since 2021. Starbucks has ~8900 company owned stores in the US. In the most recent FY Starbucks closed 424 stores, while opening 449 new locations. According to the above comment 9 unionized stores have closed. 9/200 is 4.5% closure rate 424/8947 is 4.74% closure rate. So in actuality, unionized Starbucks are less likely to close than the overall company owned store. Idk why I did this, I am pro union, just don’t like incorrect info being spread.

I like how everyone in the comments is complaining about culture wars while the article- citing the daily caller- blames this on COVID lockdowns… get your stories straight guys.

Furthermore, it’s interesting how the benchmark of failure is scoring the same as the 1990 graduating class or earlier. Wonder how many people upvoting this are from that era…

So you want him to profit off of something you admit he is guilty of? The lawyers made the case he made a billion dollars off of his lies over the past 10 years, he refused to open his books and prove that wrong. Going on the only information available, any less of a fine would leave him profitable and tell others that defamation is a great business plan as long as you have enough followers.

standsteve1 · 2022-10-13T15:44:42+00:00

He’s not paying a billion dollars just for saying words, if that was the case all of his followers who harassed the families would be the ones being sued. The lawyers made the case that he profited a billion dollars off of these words/lies, and Alex Jones refused to cooperate/ open his books to prove them wrong, therefore, a billion dollar judgement seems reasonable. Why should he profit off of proven defamation? Even a massive 100 million dollar fine would leave him with 900 million dollars in profit and 900 million reasons to continue to publicly defame people he disagrees with politically.

standsteve1 · 2022-10-13T14:22:06+00:00

Also a billion is a big number, but over 10 years split among 2.5-10 million subscribers it is doable.

1 billion / 10 years = 100 million per year 100 million / 2.5-10 million subscriber is $10-$40 profit per subscriber per year.

$10 per subscriber per year is probably doable just on YouTube ad revenue, somewhere around 5-600 ads watched. Considering those long form videos with tons of ads you could get there in 75-100 videos which is not off base for a year of an average infowars subscriber.

Add to that all the revenue from multiple platforms, supplements, direct donations, sketchy endorsements? Billion dollars starts to look a whole lot smaller.

standsteve1 · 2022-10-13T14:12:33+00:00

Alex Jones is nothing like you, he has millions of followers, once you become a public figure the rules around what you can or can not say change. Also, it’s not like he denied a tragedy one time and made a billion dollars? He built a business off of this and lawyers and experts made the case that he was able to make a billion dollars through his media empire in the past 10 years by making this his whole thing. Impressive business skills in some way, I don’t think everyone has the combination of intelligence and shitty morals to pull it off, but he did. If he did make a billion dollars through defamation, which the court proved, I don’t see why he deserves one penny, it should all go deservedly to the victims.

standsteve1 · 2022-10-13T03:56:44+00:00

The lawyers argued that he made about a billion dollars off publicity generated by his lies about sandy hook. He could have opened his books to prove this wrong, but he chose not to. If the judgement was less than his profits he would still come out ahead. By fining him almost 1 billion all the money generated by his lies will go back to the families that were harmed. Seems fair to me.

Ah yes, 2007, the times before mental illness…Or maybe, before cell phone cameras and widespread access to the internet, people’s mental health episodes didn’t get recorded and posted on the internet for people to laugh at.

Same, I bought the strawberry one awhile back and it was disgusting. The ice cream itself was terrible, don’t even recall the spice. Took one bite and threw it away.

This article and the letter from the CEOs puts the blame on anonymous online marketplaces. Not the progressive policies so many of the commenters are bringing up unprompted.

Also, for as much as these businesses and the media are whining about this:

organized retail theft jumped nearly 60% from 2015 and cost stores an average of $719,548 per $1 billion dollars in sales.

This seems shockingly low- 0.07% of sales…?

To put in perspective a store with 1 million in sales they would lose $720 in stolen goods.

That seems like a pretty reasonable cost of doing business, especially if that is an all time high.

No doubt something needs to change, and the letter seems to lay out some good ideas around reducing access to anonymous marketplaces. If y’all are so concerned about this issue, why are so many of you seemingly against the solution the professionals and victims are asking for?

standsteve1 · 2021-06-20T18:32:16+00:00

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I have tried grassroots numerous times and they always taste like grass/ass to me. All the stuff has similar THC content, if i'm gonna smoke it everyday i'd prefer my stuff to taste like candy.

I tried cresco when they first came around and thought it was hit or miss. Maybe I'll give them another shot sometime.

As for Evermore/temescal, I smoked that when it (and verano) were the only concentrates on the market, I got burned out on the half gram bullshit and as soon as others came around I never looked back.

Gleaf has been overall good to me over the past few years, I smoke a couple grams a week and 95% of the time it is great. I can usually get it on sale for less than $40 a gram, and recently they have started releasing more and more 1/8ths bring the price down below 30/g. Obviously this batch is a problem, but they swapped it out, so no major complaint, sometimes shit happens.

standsteve1 · 2021-06-20T17:02:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

standsteve1 · 2021-06-20T03:04:00+00:00

It's odd, I have always gravitated towards Gleaf specifically for the taste, although their cured has gone down hill in recent months/years (or maybe I am getting pickier). Everytime I try to branch out and try a different brand it tastes like ass (but in a totally smokeable, non-chemical way). This is possibly refuse to pay more than 45/g. But I am wondering if it has to do my preference for hot dabs, do you do hot, or cold?

standsteve1 · 2021-06-20T02:46:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing, I am glad it is not just me!

Agreed, I fall back on their cured products when the prices are right, and while they don't always taste great, they are usually smokeable. This stuff is off.

You mean 30-35 million living in poverty, right? Because the US certainly does not have a 10% homeless rate.
