Jesus, that's unreal. That's a pot shot even with a 22.
And yeah, I've been hearing that those investigating are having a heck of a time coming up with anything on this guy, apparently he was a real loner type.
All the more reason we really need more kindness in this world.
Probably in your best interest to read their release notes
Even still, the dude was on a roof only 400 yards away with minimal tree obstruction. How no one saw the dude climbing up there with a damn rifle and then set up in a prone position is beyond me. They're claiming some people made comments that some weirdo was wandering around, but it's baffling how counter snipers weren't scanning everything and anything that allowed him to get as far as popping off as many rounds as he did.
He'd probably smile at that too
Politics, not climate change
Like many others have said here, it simply is unavoidable. People are gonna people, and a number of them usually do it to illicit some reaction, whether it's agreement which reinforces their nonsense, or ragebaiting that gives them a giggle and still reinforces their nonsense. Realistically the only thing you can do is ignore them and get on with your day.
I think the biggest thing to remember is that a lot of people have very little social interaction outside of their home lives and work. They spend their time either at home with family or even alone, loading their brains with whatever garbage they find on the Internet, and then spew it back into the world to see what sticks. In many people's minds, you are simply the one in front of them at the moment when they want to spout off. It seems like you're taking it personally, when in reality a lot of these yoyos are too shortsighted to even consider you as a person. You are an NPC to their main character.
What helps is remembering that usually none of what anyone says is personally targeted. And even if it is, what does it matter in the grand scheme of things? Half the population has double digit IQs (not that that's a great metric to go on, but still). Just keep doing your thing, stay focused on your work, and don't let morons live rent free in your head. I know it may sounds difficult, but it really is as easy as just paying no mind to them.
While I agree, I'm skeptical that we'll see any meaningful advance toward that end in our lifetimes.
I smell a groundhog loop
Absolutely. I've got a younger dude that works for me and he teaches me so much on the daily, it's pretty rad.
There's a chickenpox vaccine? Huh, TIL. I remember my chickenpox party lol, it seemed so weird at the time to be made to hang out with other kids that were sick with the intent of getting sick.
I think the point of the comment you replied to was to share space and allow the younger generation to flourish in ways that our generation never did. Break the cycle. This doesn't mean sacrificing yourself for younger people, the world is big enough for all of us.
Mother needs him home by supper
Which really speaks to the root of most of the big problems we face as a country.
