Ah but the wonders of the modern age means you can easily fleece these fools with no stabbing or really any effort at all once you've got a sufficiently large following of them. Yaaaay.Bromden said:

I've always been skeptical of the value of online advertising as it is so easy to skip it completely when compared to radio/tv/magazine advertising, even when you're not using AdBlockers. Not to mention how intrusive and annoying it can be with gigantic popups, making users annoyed at the brand/product instead of interested in it.
In any case, this is probably the first serious threat for both Facebook and Google in a long time, since advertising is their prime revenue by far and the two largest advertisers have either already reduced their online spending or threatening to do so.

Really looking forward to the end of the prevalence of this ****ty ad-based model, hope this helps new companies figuring out better ways of monetizing stuff.

That’s just an hour north of my home. Used to go to conferences/ competitions with kids from that school, not that I knew any personally. When I heard about this it just struck me how close to home that is damn.
I used to think it was just hyperbole when people say that politicians who don’t do anything have blood on their hands, but they really do.

Here as well. But America will ignore it.

America, as a descriptive noun, is too broad, especially considering the right to bear arms is guaranteed. Some of America will ignore it.Sofia Johanna Jeanette Munsterhjelm von Platen said:
A giant mass of land called America sticking out of some water won't ignore it, it's the people sitting on top of the land that will ignore it.
If I say, I'm not giving up my guns, will I be ignoring it?
I'd gladly give mine up if I thought the majority of the country would, but I don't see that ever realistically happening. I don't think the gun problem in the US is solvable, someone can go into a school and shoot 20+ kids dead and a huge portion of the population will not even consider life without guns. Just immediately shift the blame elsewhere.

It obviously is, but not while Americans act like total idiots. Pretty much the entire time I've been alive there have been more and more shootings per year, but we still haven't hit a breaking point where any government officials have taken meaningful action. A lot of idiots here believe it's a lack of Christianity in school that's causing shootings. I don't have a ton of hope for the people in this country.
