Isn’t that just graduating?
In the US one can graduate *cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude*. There should be another honor added if you survive a school shooting.

if being part of the state requires mandatory public schooling and that mandatory participation has changed in 40 years to become more violent and blodly, then those honors need to be spoken to at graduation.

I was just making a joke about how common school shootings tragically are ✌️
A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I believe that they were joking that nearly every student survives one

We really do live in a manifestation of south park

You have it backwards. Southpark is a parody of real life. It was always meant to share lots of correlation. It’s literally made to.

I was at my wife’s work holiday party last night.
They had a clever icebreaker bingo game with facts about the attendees. One person’s was “survived three school shootings.” I found her and got a bingo. The prize was a $10 doordash gift card.
Lame prize, great game idea. Terrible that this has happened to her but she’s a bright and cheerful woman.

I had an icebreaker event at like a new employee orientation thing where we did two truths and a lie.
One person said “I have cancer”. That turned out to be her lie.
Who the fuck lies about that? Like everyone knows someone who has or had (and possibly lost to) cancer. That’s in incredibly bad taste. There’s morbid humor and then there’s…something else.
She didn’t last long there.

She probably has a great serpentine, too.

I think graduation ceremonies should include a speech from the lowest ranked graduate. Let’s hear from both sides.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
“WOOOOOOO!!! I AIN’T GOTTA GO TO SCHOOL NO MOE! GONNA SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY!”
Half the audience nods. The other half shakes their head in disapproval.

Would battle be right? I don’t know if people are fighting back in shootings. I think it would be to run away, per “Pumped Up Kicks” so

People are definitely fighting back, not all of them, but there are fighters.

Gun laude?

Yes guns are loud, they already know

Look we have enough participation trophies, we don’t want to bog down the ceremonies with another 400 awards. Also some of these people will be limping, possibly in wheelchairs. And god forbid we have a shooting at the event and we didn’t bring enough medals.
I kinda feel like this is sarcasm but I’m not even sure any more. How did we get here?

the problem is obviously we don’t have enough guns and we don’t have enough mandatory jesus.
if every american literature 1, transitions math, and concert band teacher were packing a tec-9 (at minimum), AND forced bible study jesus sundayschool everyday school was facefucked into every student everywhere, then there would be no such thing as school shootings. problem solved.
