First mass shooting in the US.
Unfortunately Montenegro beat us to the punch this year with a mass shooting killing 10 earlier yesterday.
What the fuck, Montenegro, get your own thing. Something related to chain smoking probably.
Proposition to call lung cancer, Montenegrin cancer
But anything outside the US doesn’t count, maybe even doesn’t exist, according to a majority of US citizens.
It’s truly disturbing how common it is for 'Muricans to just forget and/or not care about anything outside the US. And even for things within the US, they forget timezones are a thing even though their own country has several.
Are the Americans ok?
Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok
Well, time to grab some blowtorches and get medieval on someone
someone in this world bought a balloon and went driving to find a dead animal for that image._.
ಠ╭╮ಠ
Nope
Bro we’re straight up not having a good time.
Hahahahah. No.
No
You know when you ignore things in life too long and they just start becoming chaos?
America!
New Years RESOLUTIONS, RESOLUTIONS, not revolutions…
On the second thought, continue.
Don’t put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That’s why they’re called revolutions. - Pratchett
I tell ya, what we need is the luggage…
I’ll put all my trust in the luggage.
I think this is the year where I force myself to stop paying attention to current events and completely disconnect
Do it, it’s amazing
Humans aren’t evolved for information overload like this. It rots our brain
I’m just happy they’re finally acknowledging that domestic terrorism is a thing, even if its just to avoid looking hypocritical because of Luigi Mangione
Finally? Didn’t Homeland Security or the FBI come out in the mid 2000s to warn that the most serious terror threat would be the domestic one?
And that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.
yeah, because Timothy McVeigh.

series name is Community btw. great series i watched when it was just out
So… Just another day in America?
Don’t catch you slippin’ now
None of which happened in most people’s local areas. Stop reading national news on a regular basis. Focus on your small little life, your family, your neighborhood, your little area.
Of course when you cast a wide net nationally or globally, there will always be negative things happening, and then if you mainly focus on those events, you’ll act as if negative things are the only things.
It didn’t happen to me personally, so it’s fine! Stop paying attention!!
😬
He’s not wrong: if the topic isn’t within your circle of control, then worrying over it is just mentally masturbating to disaster porn.
The key is that the advice to ignore such things isn’t about advocating for blissful ignorance like you think it is. It’s that shrinking your circle of concern frees up your focus to grow your circle of control.
Therefore I must pay attention to everything else? People were not designed to be globally concerned constantly.
Stop getting scared by terrorism, a few dozen people is nothing compared to even mundane things like traffic deaths.
tbh i have been doing this since the election was done with in november ‘24 & i haven’t felt better! my feed is just tech & other interests w no national/global news & keyword filters for the bs the news pushes pretty heavy: trump, musk, bezos, israel, etc. it’s definitely helped me regain some of my sanity.
I learn most major news nowadays BECAUSE it’s a meme in an unrelated forum. There’s no point worrying about mega and sometimes global news events that you could literally do nothing about and often might not even affect you.
Just enjoy your life best you can and minimize that stress.
Good for you.
What’s wrong with cybertruck on fire? I thought it was nice and symbolic.
I mean that’s obviously why he did it, but it was still a car bombe not a malfunction.
so does that make all teslas car bombs now?
Maybe because it killed someone and injured others?
wait that actually happened?? I thought it was just a symbolic painting…
dude died in it.
yeah, it was real.
12am Happy new year! 1am Friend an hour back: Now it’s new years Me: well, I’ve been in 2025 an hour and it seems uneventful, probably a good sign
I’m sorry for jinxing it, everyone
Oh boy! 2 days in and 3 things happened already!
There is actually more stuff than mentioned here.
A vehicle rammed a crowd, killing ten and injuring thirty.
A state judge shot himself in the face at the office on Monday.
FBI found a record number of homemade pipe bombs in Virginia.
Wow. Stuff happens in places and when you consider all places, a lot of stuff will happen. Let’s overreact to them and act as if stuff didn’t previously happen and as if this is somehow shocking, new, or personally affecting thosenof us who don’t live remotely close to these events.
Well, they clearly are not important enough because they are not American 🇺🇸 🦅 🔫
Better hide in the subway, I’m sure it’s fine.
Okay I’m here but they’re saying if I don’t buy a sandwich I have to go. (We don’t have public transportation here.)
“Get off my train!”
CT didn’t blow up, someone lit it on fire
There are more sane comments here than on the “serious” news Lemmy.
Did they prove that yet? Seems like it would be on video and I haven’t seen any.
We’re always up to something.
I knew this year was gonna suck
See what has happened is that the Right didn’t have any faith in the government, and now the left doesn’t either.
So, violent extremism is now the standard. Might Makes Right is the new system for these idiots. The Chinese propaganda is winning, we’re killing our own.
The reason we don’t have any faith in government is because big corpo bought it because Reagan sold in and convinced both parties to keep it sold ever since.
Since the beginning of civilization, to know who’s to blame, you need only look at the richest fucks profiting most from it. The well bribed, revolving door middle managers in DC ain’t it.
Tolerance of greed, private shareholders demanding a firesale to good the next quarter, growth/metastasis at all costs instead of equilibrium, the capital markets are what have destroyed us.
Just elect 60 DNC senators and things will get fixed up so fast. Historians would call it a miracle.
Every stance you extremists claim to care about is on the DNC platform.
“All this horrible shit happening has no pattern or coordination. We can ignore it” is a pretty bad take. Regardless of why these things happen they’re still tragic
So, we moving Devil’s Night up?

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it would be categorised or described differently. A mass shooting is a mass shooting, no matter how often it happens.
