I take chats for customer service. We’re expected to help two people at the same time. This is me when two people who work from home lost internet at the same time so they’re in crisis and as ending message after message and won’t follow directions because they’re desperately trying anything to get back online because they could get fired.
The cynic in me is like “this is karma for the previous 3 times you told your boss the internet was down when it wasn’t.”
At least four people were wounded, none critically, in a shooting at Morgan State University in Baltimore on Tuesday, according to authorities, who urged students to take shelter on the campus of the historically Black college.
Some people actively get mad too when you mention that people died.
“Of course people died, here we go another fucking gun grab wrapped in a sob story. If all THOSE people had guns too it’d have never happened. This is what you get for being unprepared now stfu I’m shopping online for another AR. 🤷”
Yeah it’s kind of wild to me the number of people that think teachers having guns is a good idea, that way teachers can get into a shootout with students that go crazy. Absolutely insane.
None of those gun nuts have ever been able to answer my basic question about their stated goal of everyone carrying at all times -
You’re at a public event, few hundred+ people in attendance,everybody (even just most) are packing. A gun goes off. Every “Good guy with a gun” turns toward the sound while pulling their guns. You now have 50-100+ (adjusted for crowd size) people with guns drawn. How do you know which of the 50-100+ people actually fired their gun?
Noone has ever had any answer other than “oH yOuD kNoW” which, call me crazy, doesn’t really answer the question.
People have gone numb as an emotional safeguard. People have lives they’re trying to live, and if they fell to pieces every time someone got shot in this country they’d die of dehydration from all the crying.
There is so much death and cruelty in the world that if someone cares too much they are just bound to wind up depressed. It seems that the majority of people really only care about people that they are acquainted with, or if they witness the terrible thing in person. It’s just kind of built into human nature, otherwise we would be in a constant state of grief.
Things like mass shootings bother most empathetic people, in general. It’s just that life kind of has to go on, and all they can really do to try and change it is to vote for one of two lesser evils in some local or national election.
The problem is not really with the people. It’s with our crappy political system that is controlled by corporate lobbyists. The majority of US citizens don’t really seem to have a say. Source: Empathetic person with chronic depression.
10 yo me on his way to include his day, month and year of birth in his reddit username that cannot be changed and to get enough karma on that account to not want to delete it.
To add to that: Configure your notifications. Anything that isn’t urgent doesn’t need to vibrate or make a sound. It can just sit there until you look at your phone. Also, use do not disturb for things like work.
This is a bit self fulfilling, since saying that immediately makes you less attractive, because you express, that you thingk less of yourself, on the other hand it in creases your chances w/ the boiis, sins you seem funny.
