The fuck guys…you’ll try everything but actually fixing the problem.
because fixing a problem in the United States won’t line anyones pockets with dollar bills.
Someone saw a problem, figured HOW to financially gain from said problem, not solve the problem in order to financially gain from it. So some company has scored a contract to patrol schools with drones in order to “prevent” school shootings and we know they won’t and the US tax payer will pay for it.
Problems in the United States are never fixed, they’re handled.
The only way it will be fixed is when people stop going after random public school kids and start going after the rich.
Many of us are trying to leave as quickly as possible. You can’t fix a society of deeply fucking stupid as this one has become.
No wait, they got thought listening devices! What if they set them up in schools to listen to everyone’s thoughts! Everyone would be safe because you can listen to all teenager’s thoughts!
OK let’s start…listening to the guy over there… Wow! Jessica has tits! …hmmm okay moving on to another kid’s thoughts…
Oh shit, nevermind! Nevermind!
Fucking hilarious quote here:
“It’s a bit like that movie The Matrix, where the agent can jump into the nearest person and immediately be good to go. We’re a little bit like that—but we’re the good guys,” he added.
Oh yeah so it’s kinda like the terrifying dystopian surveillance nightmare where people are oppressed at all times by an omnipresent, invincible, untouchable outer force that compels them to unquestionably follow the path laid out for them in life by their masters. But like, in a good way!
What actually happens to people who’s body is taken by the agent in the matrix? They can’t be not dead, right? This makes it even better.
The measurement unit is what got me
This is such a tricky subject.
You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
Or.
MUTHERFUDGING DRONES, bitches.It’s such a tricky subject. So tricky.
This isn’t tik tok you can say Motherfucking.
In fact I’d prefer if people just used the actual cuss words. Self-censoring is such a bullshit. Social media is a plague on our species.
I need more things to have a block censorship option. Like streaming music services often have a ‘block explicit’ option. I want a ‘block censored’ option.
YouTube has a thing where if you’re on data and not wifi, they will not let you watch explicit videos even if you’re signed into your account, which may or may not be old enough to drink, itself.
You have to do a thing in your phone’s connection settings and hook it to a specific DNS (like “dns.adguard.com”, which allows you to play mobile games while connected to a network without any ads)
Why are you lying online?
or: kill the cop in your head.
It is a plague but not because you can’t swear.
man I made an account just to go troll idiots and holy shit is their moderation ever so fucking bad
people can say “I would drive over them” about people crossing a bridge, but if you say, “I’d drive over you tbh”, nope, not okay.
not to mention the dumb automatic word filters regardless of context
Ploppers
do we have to have this same argument every godsdamned thread?
Argument? Nah. Just trying to help someone who seems to need help in forcefully expressing themselves.
just, i’m tired boss. no one likes being the language police, no one like being language policed. just let people talk.
but which of those options will make more money for the people in charge?
Are the drones flown by AI? …looks like there’s even more money to be made!
🤢
You could go with a more strict gun regulations. Coupled with more help for vulnerable people. And free mental healthcare.
I’m skeptical any of this would be more than a bandaid solution, a large part of the problem has got to be how highschool in the US is just inherently a miserably dehumanizing experience.
Do not accept perfection as an enemy of progress!
If “progress” here means drugging students to tolerate their circumstances, or holding the threat of pepper spray drones over them (doubt this will stay limited to active shooter scenarios), I think it might be progress in the wrong direction.
I’m pretty sure they meant that the gun regulation, help and free healthcare would be progress, not so much the drugs and the drones.
I guess that makes sense. It just frustrates me that the scope of the discussion is all solutions that would not help directly with any problems potentially murderously suicidal teens have in their lives, the growth of those problems which you might imagine is the reason this has become a trend, but instead basically just preventing them from responding destructively.
You’re right there. Yes.
The drones, stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated. The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas—provide constant live video feeds to first responders and, in some cases, fire nonlethal projectiles to delay or incapacitate an assailant.
To me, these aren’t a bad idea. Immediate response and non-ISH-lethal. They are simply the progression of enforcement technology.
What they are not, is a solution to school shootings. They are not even a bandaid. Some people (law makers) just don’t seem to know what “prevention” means.
You said
To me, these aren’t a bad idea.
and yet you also said
The devices—operated remotely by a team in Texas
in the very same post.
I wouldn’t want some bored trigger happy gun nutjob from Texas playing shoot the bad guys with pepper spray on a games console where my kids and their multi ethnic friends are the NPCs.
That’s a fair assessment. I’m guessing it’s that way because that’s where the company that operates this is. Which, now that I think about it, probably is a poor way to manage the whole program.
So I’ll post-edit to say: “with local pilot and oversight”
nonlethalless lethalUnderstandable, common typo in MY GUNS! land.
stored in secure boxes on campus, can be deployed within five seconds of silent panic buttons being activated
So much about that sentence doesn’t make sense though…
“secure boxes” but “a button can open them” also “silent panic” with “drones out within 5 seconds”
In any event, the ‘nonlethal’ is generally considered a bad descriptor versus ‘less than lethal’, unless they are talking about something merely mildly annoying rather than the usual things like rubber or bag rounds.
these drones are gonna end up killing unarmed kids.
The US government loooves to kill unarmed kids
Right? We’re gonna use drones to kill unarmed kids, without the expense of having to ship stuff to a different country. It’s like a 60% off coupon for your favorite hobby, Uncle Sam is creaming himself in anticipation.
They shoot pepper balls.
Having said that, they might get kids killed when they’re trying to hide from a gunman but can’t stop coughing because the room is filled with pepperball dust.
this could only be stupider if they said AI would be used to deploy the drones
It’s funny how much they do just to circumvent gun control.
Yeah, let’s push for gun control as the fascists are taking over! Wonderful idea!
Some of these jackasses are so brainwashed they’re still worried about the thing the masters told them to worry about for decades.
Next headline reads “armed drones were hacked and lead to worst systematic school shooting in history”
I am an OCP stockholder.
Didn’t expect to see a Robocop meme today, but I’m all about it!
Hail Hydra?
Too many guns leads to weekly school shootings.
US: We need more guns!
These things are going to get hacked and start shooting kids. Wtf are these idiots thinking.
Probably “this is a completely untapped market for our killbots!”
Here’s hoping it was all fraud and no drones ever are actually deployed.
Realistically its probably a ploy for peter thiel to find new blood boys to kidnap.
I feel like someone is going to hack one of these and then do a school shooting
You bet your ass. You think with Big Balls storing millions of people’s data on unsecure servers and Las Vegas being slammed with a hack that would make Hollywood claim is unrealistic means there will be script kiddies ready with pre-made hacks that would make them kill people. This is cyberpunk 2077 level shit.
WFH
America, just throw more guns at the problem!
Its apparently the only profitable way to solve the problem. Pure bullshit insanity.
next year
armed drone hacked by deranged lunatic kills 50 kids and 10 teachers
Or, armed drone kills kid holding a banana as a gun
Child Holding Gun Shaped Object Struck By Bullets Fired From Police Drone
Idk fired is still too much culpability, how about ‘Struck by bullets in incident involving police drone’
Yeah you’re right, it’s always an “incident involving XYZ”
how about “struck by bullets leaving the gun barrel”?
You can now do school shootings from the comfort of your own home. . . That’s progress!
Kids just need to be more inventive, guns are so passé but bombs are the bomb.
aaaaand you’re on a list.
America will do literally anything to ignore gun control and mental health.
