"mass shooting" usually means one shooter and multiple people hit. So a drunk, mad guy at a party who pulls out a gun and shoots 3 people will count towards the number but probably not make it past local news. Not every mass shooting is a school shooting or terrorist attack, but those get the most attention.

In their minds, this is loving your enemy. Because Christians are right and everyone else is wrong. So forcing your beliefs on people is a good thing because you're saving their souls.

Guess it's good she didn't have that much sense and got herself busted.

I love imagining him being legitimately confused every night over this. Like, "I don't get it! I said Biden was evil 3 times, said I'd support Trump, AND am not woke. Why don't they like me???"

There's a book called How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler that covers this stuff. Don't think it's comprehensive enough to actually invent everything from scratch, but still a fun read.

What do you mean nothing ever materializes??? They'll probably be found to be breaking anti-competition laws then given a fine equal to 15 minutes of profit.

Not even just the highest rate. The highest number of incarcerated people! Countries with over 1b people still have fewer prisoners, total.

It's because a lot of boomers think everything they see on the internet is sent personally to them. Took me years (literal years) to explain to my mom that someone's Facebook status was not that person sending her a message.
