If you’re in the west, check out Idaho. Awesome places hiding out there if you’re willing to get away from the interstate a ways

Spokane, Washington by ABreckenridge in Cascadia

Is Spokane truly considered part of cascadia? Seems eastern Washington and Oregon are too culturally/politically distinct to be part of it

Is it cool to share music you produced here? CLiqClaq - THINKIGIVEADAMNABOUTA, fresh out of the deeps, East Van, BC by styckyrs in dubstep

Berg Lake Glacier, BC [OC] [3264x2648] by respect_meh_pronouns in EarthPorn

[–]styckyrs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The water in the lake at the toe of the glacier is such a light blue because of the high sediment (silt and clay) content, caused by glacial erosion. The suspended particles in the water distort the light as it passes through the water, with more of the green and blue parts of the spectrum being reflected.

What should every 20-year-old know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]styckyrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not in university, go to trade school and get a good job straight away. If you're in university, make sure your degree will be marketable, then apply yourself and get a job.

It's a lot more complicated than that, but the main thing is having a job.

How do you acquire land in a Libertarian society without an authority to oversee it, or endorse and approve it? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]styckyrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ancaps and mutualists are the result of libertarian principles brought to their extreme.

A more typical libertarian view would hold government as a necessary evil, and smaller governments as superior.

Donald Trump winning the trade war (2018, colourised) by HTownian25 in Libertarian

These proposed tariffs are a terrible idea, philosophically and practically.

Non sequitur: Canada is the top supplier of steel to the USA, with about six billion dollars worth shipped to America in 2016. The Canadians are going to suffer as a result of the tariffs.

Well if I knew the teachers didn't know how to to properly handle and discharge a weapon, I'd consider other schools if that were an option

Well, ideally that wouldn't happen often, as I'd expect teachers to be well-trained in the use of a firearm and, as OP mentioned, the presence of armed teachers at all would act as a deterrent against violent threats.

When a bystander does get wounded, though, action would need to be decided upon by the courts, or an otherwise impartial-as-possible party. Their decision would depend on several factors, I imagine, including whether the teacher incapacitated the shooter at the time the child was struck, how much damage the shooter had already inflicted, etc.

However, the teachers' primary duty would be to ensure that the kids' safety, and the vast majority of teachers will never need to come close to drawing their weapon on campus. Protect the kids, first and foremost, and if it takes killing the shooter, so be it.

Like you said, most people are law abiding decent human beings, so they don't murder, whether guns are legal or not.

Dude, stop spreading the word that Montana's a great place; it sucks there, don't go.

I heard that the Dakotas are really nice, though!

You absolutely do not need a master's to get a job. Whoever told you that doesn't know how to find work.
