Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If I was her parent, those families would be sleeping with one eye open.
I absolutely hate these sorts of comments and people who agree with them. Meeting violence with more violence just makes the problem worse not better. It's a stupid revenge porn take.
You're mistaking your rational, logical brain with that of one who had just lost their little girl due to some little shits ego and a failing of those you trusted her safety with - including by the sounds of things making light of it and saying its not their problem.
If you have ever lost your cool at anyone in your life, imagine what you would have done if this was your loss.
I'm about 50/50 on not wanting this happen to me because I want my kids to outlive me and because I'm legitimately scared of how I'd react being in that situation. I know how I'd want to react, which is cold calculating and devastatingly civilized. I fear it would be cold and devastatingly chaotically dangerous.
I'm pretty sure you didn't mean to say you half want your child to die by suicide.
I'd say obviously not but judging by the down votes it didn't come across the way I intended. Definitely meant it as there are two reasons, split equally.
I'd fear my reaction because I'm scared I'd react in a way that would prevent me from caring for my surviving children and spouse.
Yeah that makes sense. It's hard to pick the sensible option of supporting your family when such injustice is done to someone you love.
Im not scared of how I would react, as if it did what would I have left? Suicidal as a teen and don't think I'd be long for this world if I lost them, so what the worst that could happen to me?
I wouldn't try to murder them, but again I don't lose my temper. I guess people are irrational though.
Let me paraphrase Heinlein. Maybe check with the Japanese on that.
Yes, a science fiction writer! That'll show me the errors of my statement! I can't combat that, you got me. Except for all the science fiction writers that write the exact opposite...
😢
Do the science fiction writers that write the exact opposite reference real historical events or fictional events?
Because you would do what exactly?
Edit: the lack of an answer is answer enough.
Well obviously John wick em
Obviously nothing, lol. Big and bad behind the keyboard.

Collective? Pretty sure they're not going to corale them all into one room, seal all the doors, reveal there's a knife under the rug in the middle of the room and that the doors will only open again when there's only one survivor.
Also the room is inside a faraday cage. And the only light is a single red bulb in the corner. And Norwegian Death Metal is blaring from in-wall speakers. Maybe spiders are dumped in through the ventilation ducts.
Sorry I just spent the last hour playing DnD with an LLM.
Why only one red bulb?
Feels right. Enough light to see by, but throws shadows wildly being in the corner.
Meh. What else do they have to lose?
You're so fucking cool

If it's good enough for genocide Joe it's good enough for me
