For those who are not familiar with the Philippines, school shootings are not a thing here at all.

Once in a blue moon you'll have someone bring a gun to shoot a bully, but it's really few and far between.

The only other incident close to this was a shooting in Ateneo in 2022, but that's more of a revenge-assassination carried out by an outsider who had a grudge on a former mayor and just so happened to be attending her child's graduation than a "school shooting".

So, this is really the first and only case of a mass shooting I could remember. And when it happened, kids had no idea what to do. Some of those who were killed was seen on video standing on the door trying to prevent the gunmen from entering (and therefore shot) when they should be barricading the doors with heavy objects like tables.

Exactly. I hate Reddit more than most people here (I'm a mod on a sub that has more than a million subscribers and felt disrespected by spez), but the fact of the matter is they're the gold standard of quality answers and discussions.

I would want Lemmy to get to that level, not immediately, but that's the dream.

qBittorrent. End thread.

Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.

"Alright, pussy, pussy, pussy! Come on in Pussy lovers!

Here at Lemmy we’re slashing pussy in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of pussy, this is a pussy blow out! Alright, we got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy. We got hot pussy, cold pussy. We got wet pussy. We got smelly pussy. We got hairy pussy, bloody pussy. We got snapping pussy. We got silk pussy, velvet pussy, naugahyde pussy. We even got horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy.

C'mon, you want pussy, come on in Pussy Lovers! If we don’t got it, you don't want it! Come on in Pussy lovers!"

I'm one of the many who deactivated not too long after it launched. My dashboard was just being filled with so many users (mostly celebrities and influencers) who I don't recall ever following or even being on my sphere of interest. It doesn't help that their posts are inorganic attempts to spur engagement.

VPN. I bought it during the pandemic not for privacy or government spy conspiracy shit, but because it was on "sale" (something like $40 for 38 months or something) and I wanted to try out if skirting geoblock was worth it. It's now probably one of the most-used tech we have in the house. Great for running Max obviously but also for work.

All-Star brought attention to Mystery Men, which is a criminally underrated movie. So, that's another reason to like that song.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

I'm a Relay user which is one of the few apps that are going to stick around, but I still opted out of Reddit anyway. As a mod, spez arrogance offends me.

I forgot Evernote existed. Time to back up my notes from 2014.

Does Lemmy count as social media?? lol

I urge everyone to support a community you like by posting interesting topics and commenting, and the rest will follow. Don't just wait for people to do it.

I'm honestly not surprised. It's one of those rare movies that has mass appeal (which guarantees it at least half a billion) and also a surprisingly good story that had critics and audiences raving about it.

I was only forced to watch it because I didn't want to wait in the mall that long for Oppenheimer to start while the wife finishes Barbie. I haven't been more satisfied and entertained by a blind watch since... Burning.

With word from our sponsors! Just kidding! 100x

We're now listed as one of the official alternative sites on sub.rehab to r/PH including the Discord.

Every other day, I get over how mad I was about the whole spez thing, and just focus on bettering our community and Lemmy in general.

But then they do something again that immediately remind me how much of an asshole he is. Last week, it was them taking out the coins and awards. Now this week, it's introducing r/Places like nothing happened and we're all friends again. Fuck him.

So, is the official term for AMAs on Lemmy "Ask Us Anything" (AUA)? Or shall we call it "Lemmy Ask U"?

Ding ding, we have a winner.

Wait, does this mean Sync for Lemmy will be available next week?
