Tell me you’re a foreign intelligence agent without saying you’re a foreign intelligence agent.

That is the poorest decision making I’ve ever even heard of. You left the largest, most stable economy in human history - one that is insulated from any serious geopolitical threat by oceans - because you got spooked by scary news stories?

Great job hamstringing your kids.

People are fucking nuts. You have to think that at some point the thought would occur to them that they shouldn’t be slipping a knife into little Timmy’s backpack.

Closing the asylums was a mistake.

Not ridiculous, the odds of either event injuring or killing any particular individual are vanishingly small. A person who worries about school shootings should be positively terrified of climbing ladders or crossing a busy road.

People are really bad at contextualizing risk. Just look at the “stranger danger” scare.

It isn’t OK, every single case is a crime.

There was a newsworthy incident where a cop managed to pull off a negligent discharge. Nobody got hurt, but guess what? Still a school shooting.

Oh no, you described cause and effect! It has nothing to do with what I said, but it’s truly devastating.

Lemmy is full of raving lunatics.
