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)
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!
🤢
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.
nonlethalless lethalUnderstandable, common typo in MY GUNS! land.
You said

and yet you also said

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.
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 am an OCP stockholder.
America will do literally anything to ignore gun control and mental health.
“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,”
At last, zero self awareness, wow.
I’m sure this won’t have a impact on mental health
Article says there’s a pepper ball launcher and a glass hammer, so this thing is mainly for surveillance and mild distractions, which is much better than I was prepared to read.
"Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or intel—basically a standoff. With our drones, they’re not alone; they know what the suspect looks like, what they’re doing, and we take point around every corner.
“We usually find the shooter before they do and keep them occupied. Every officer who’s seen this live has said they want it.”
If this actually encourages them to do their jobs, great. If this is just a kickback to private industry and further militarizing schools while police still sit cowering, than I know where they can dock those drones…
It is a massive invasion of privacy (like everything public school)
It’s a foot in the door because of that attitude. No one jumps straight to Gatling guns on drones at the elementary school they might however do pepper ball, then tazer, then hard markers, rubber bullets, actual bullets.
It’s absolutely number 2… They leaving the parking lot.
“Currently, an officer’s job is to run toward gunfire, alone, with no support or Intel”
That’s a lie, they don’t run toward gunfire at all. And they’ll wait until they have at least three departments of officers before doing anything.
If they want to break glass as a distraction they can do that already, they don’t need a drone. And their plan to break glass will startle an already on edge and unstable shooter, instead of using tactics to de-esecalate the situation. Also, isn’t this what swat is for? They have no qualms about flashbanging babies in cribs but when it comes to an actual situation all of a sudden they need drones so no cops are in any iota of danger.
Fantastic. Remote controlled school shootings.
I wonder when the first one will happen?
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.
The fuck guys…you’ll try everything but actually fixing the problem.
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!
How long before one of these shoots a regular kid?

I think we know what the next step is here. Mass shooters start using armed drones.
This is a joke, right?
I thought it was an Onion article at first
Innocent children will die to trigger happy drone cops. It’s going to be a remote controlled Uvalde.
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.
Yeah so we tried nothing and nothing worked!
Then we tried arming the teachers but they accidentally shot themselves and the students!
So now we’re trying armed drones with AI doing the triggering because there just ain’t any other solution to this problem!
I mean the entire world has this problem, every day we read about multiple countries facing multiple school shootings per day, every single day, and nobody found any solution ever!
So AI killer drones are the only way to move education forward, there is no other solution available Right?
i’m not sure these are AI drones, these might be remote sniper drones. which is still terrifying as fuck, considering how easy it is to find default logins for all the ALPRs everywhere and then see how many have not been changed [note for legal reasons i am not encouraging you to do this, definitely not without a good trusted VPN]
