Active shooter drill at this point meaning a full military exercise, teaching kids how to function as a unit to take down attackers with a variety of firearms.

i've done the active shooter drills as a teacher in kindergarten, 2nd and 3rd grade over the last seven or so years and everyone involved tends to numbly conform to the routine.

all part of the illusion shattering experience of working in education

An ordinary person spends his life avoiding tense situations. A teacher spends his life getting into tense situations.

Living on the street is "working poor" now.

If you can afford rent, congratulations on living the American Dream!

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

General Dog posted:

partly because most other nations outside the developed west are even worse, but mostly because America's primary export for the better part of a century is its culture, thus the entire planet has been flooded for more than a generation with both hard and soft propaganda painting America as a far better place than it is

ask most immigrants seeking entry to the US why they're trying to get in and they'll paint you a bullshit idealised picture of the America they've seen in media

We have alot of fun here in C-SPAM about how America is a shithole country, but the truth is you could do ALOT worse. We still have the bare bones of what used to be a somewhat functioning government, respectable social safety net and infrastructure and 20 years of putting the right people in power will go a long way. Then again there's no indication we're gonna put the right people in power anytime soon.

We've been on the downswing for a few decades now so if you ask me "Nate is America the worst country?" again in 2050 I'll probably have a different answer for you.

Assuming we're all still alive obviously.
