Vance said he doesn’t like the idea of his own kids going to a school with hardened security, “but that’s increasingly the reality that we live in.”

Only in America. Weird that 'reality' ignores all other first world nations.

What? Handed out new rifles? I'm sure it was very effective.

Exactly. They did the same thing in The Lord of the Rings movie. Rivendell is about 300 miles from the Shire. The hobbits leave the Shire at about 40 minutes in, and arrive in Rivendell roughly 35 minutes later. I'm sure they saved time by not stopping for second breakfast, but that would imply traveling 300/35 = 8.6 miles per minute non-stop with their stubby little legs.

Or maybe some people complained the movie was already too long (these people are wrong) and didn't want to watch hobbits walk 300 miles in real time.

I love that she sees a screen of text she doesn't understand, finds a few parts she does and freaks out, but turns out she doesn't understand those either.

A surrender would be invitation for the atrocities to truly begin.

It's going to become more and more common. We've altered the climate enough that weather patterns will change drastically, and we've been sucking aquifers dry as though they're endless.

I've never had my dick touch the water, but I have had it hit the cold porcelain. That was a surprise.

That's why it's stupid to give incentives to people to vote. I hadn't even heard of 90% of the games up for selection in the awards. But I sure as hell voted on every one, usually just picking a game I'd heard the name of, or one with a cool looking banner.

Launching military ordnance into another country is the definition of war.
