Okay that sounds a lot less insane than the mental picture I had. I was like, “mines? Some weird construction…? Snow piercer?” But it sounds like just regular level younger people doing obsessive things to the point of resembling self-harm.

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the environment? That sounds miserable.

As a dude with weird AF sitting positions (seriously, this is vanilla compared to the curl of limbs I can become), I’ve never once crushed my junk from sitting. I don’t know how people have trouble with them.

The one near me no longer has people taking orders. To get food, you scan your card at a kiosk and order through a touch screen.

I’m assuming from context “The Fair Lady” is the name of the ghost in this comic, likely just created for the comic and to fit the song’s lyrics, not some kind of long-standing legend necessarily.

It’s quite simply what’s on people’s minds right now. It was a major event, it outlines some of the systemic inequalities, and people are interested in the subject.

That’d be all the things.

Why do you think they have time to sleep?

Tbf neither did the McDonald’s snitch. I mean, they probably DID because they will not see a cent of that money, but they still snitched based on the promise of money, not just for free.

I will personally develop a toy that juuuuuust skirts the edges of their definitions called a dildon’t. I see a glorious market in my future.

I mean, I’m mid 30s, and it took me a long time to internalize “he, she, they” rather than “he, she, it”. It’s just how they were used when I was growing up. Fortunately, I’ve had the opportunity to learn and grow. At the end of the day, just speak with respect and make sure you listen as much as, or more than, speak.

I get that, and I don’t disagree, but my point is that the venn diagram of “shoots up schools” and “shoots up political targets” don’t really overlap. Kids don’t kill people for political reasons, they kill because they’re in pain. Yes, they have a “better” target but that target isn’t causing them active daily suffering.

Assuming it’s school attendants themselves, then they probably don’t have a direct reason to shoot up anywhere but their school. Maybe their home. Their school is probably the thing that’s causing them direct issues in their life, it’s where their anger is aimed, and people don’t often consider better options when they’re that level of angry. I just don’t really see these two things having enough overlap for that to be a thing.

Obviously, it’s a very different scenario when it’s not someone who’s enrolled at the school. That’s a level of dysfunction that I can’t even begin to look at the world through the lens of. I don’t think that kind of dysfunction is the one to take suggestions of better places to shoot up, though.

To be fair, aren’t almost all school shootings done by attendants of the school? At least all the ones that have stuck in my brain are ones committed by current or previous students of the school they shot. And I can’t think of how to verify that either way this morning. In those cases, though, it’s probably not entirely political, but personal.

I feel like someone should compile a list of suspects (read: denied claims) and read them off loudly at every memorial event for him.

Yeah, well your tongue doesn’t fit comfortably in my mouth!

Hot.

Okay, but how do your clothes feel against your skin?

More time than willingness to give up on this matter. It costs them time and money, too, and that’s enough to feel worth it to me.

Yes. One that has less shit “security” practices. Or that properly staffs their checkout. Or whatever reason I chose to walk out.
