Not at all. But just about every major poll confirms the “mobile version” remix is disliked.
The last one over at Tom’s had a 26% hatred rate. Only 4% love.
The idea of “.m” domain formatting is long past use for the majority as to its archaic implementation.
The “mobile” version largest non-extended HTML sites looks like crap and has errors on, every top 5 platform.

I’ve long called for opt in for “mobile” versions. Not (if you even can) opt out.
Btw it’s not a cookie problem. It’s a non-compliant HTML5 issue.
Most sites ignore the redirect to full option.
I said twice the bill sucks.
But I like half full; not half empty.
Hey, if it passes the majority will get one good thing out of a crap bill:
“that no site can automatically determine you're visiting with a mobile device and format the page accordingly”
Finally!
How many pages ignore your ‘always show desktop version’ setting.
Manually having to go in and edit mobile options out of a url to make the site work correctly.
This isn’t 2005.
Unfortunately such a miraculous piece of legislation gets shoved into a crap bill.
But who expects anyone in congress to do anything correctly anyway.
Yes: I thought that belief was obvious.
See, TP could probably fix that memory bug for free, thanks to the MSDN servers, which are still up.
But that involves using someone else’s work.
But patching requires cooperation.
Using someone else’s stuff. Even using someone else’s knowledge is a copyright violation.
Both wars involved the majority of troops being militia.
In the case of the revolution, we had no standing army at all. Not a legitimate one on European standards.
And let’s not toy with the facts. The civil war… involved nearly every civilian in the south.
Standing armies were a few hundred men at best in most states.
Of over 3mil involved most were not, at the beginning, trained army or navy they were local militia. Supported by armed civilian populations.
Guns were a part of the very birth of our renegade nation. Guns created us at in the smoke of a musket.
The honour of the duel still holds sentimental value in many of the populace.
Err...you do realize, I hope, that Europe has been shaped by wars for about ten times the time the US has existed?
Absolutely, yes! There’s a key difference though. Most of your land mass, Europe, Asia, war was generally organised. Armies. Trained for that method and purpose.
The US fought 2 national revolutionary wars, our revolution, and the Civil War, both the majority were non-military civilians.
We’ve always been a civilian culture ready for the fall to arms.
For the good, and the bad of that.
The US is a comparatively large country for its young age. Built completely with guns and blood.
The difference in this country compared with o modern Europe, is we’ve created this country not once but twice at the barrel of a long gun in the hands of the residents.
The vast majority of the country supports owning a weapon. This isn’t a Republican vs Democrat issue. https://democratsforguns.com/
The numbers vary by poll from mid 60s or low 80s percentage of the population.
But it’s near always well over half.
“I’m not angry about the school calling the cops to have a victim of bullying being handcuffed—I’m angry that the school didn’t do it sooner to cover their asses!” That’s you. That’s you right now.
Congrats. You just reached the WaPo level of ‘we can’t sell our story so we make one up’!
[assumed ] The bullied victim would retaliate in a way that would make things even worse for the school
No. I said it was possible: a well documented occurrence that happens.
The bullied victim would retaliate in such a way, because…
No. I know where that comes from. It’s how we get kids shooting up schools.
so taking the path of least resistance
You got one right out of three.
Yeah, you don't get to fucking play the assumption card.
I just did.
Your biggest worry and concern is that the bullied victim does something, not the bully.
No, my biggest concern is the school, in doing nothing at all, winds up in court. Draining its already meagre funds.
Your focus is on preventing the bullied victim from reacting.
No, my focus is on the most likely method to keep everyone out of court.
The problem wasn’t the school calling the cops: it was the over reaction of responding police.
What then, asshole?
Once a law is passed reporting bullies is no longer a legal grey area. Any case against the school reporting would be tossed.
the fact that the system is broken. For some reason you believe standing behind the school…
And you stand behind the victim how? Everyone wants to treat bullies with kid gloves. Nobody wants to do anything. With no definitive law protecting the school for reporting people are best just ignoring the situation, or doing what a parent says if it’s within the legal liability context.
We have qualified immunity for police! Why not for reporting bullies. Some states have laws protecting the reports of rape, or child abuse. Why not bullying.
you get angry because nobody agrees with you
I get angry because these situations still happen.
I get angry because people ignore the legal realities. Because an angry parent could quite easily retaliate.
Because there’s no safe way for the victims to report anything.
For the school to report anything.
For a solution to the problem.
As for salt. With a police load you’d obviously separate the rounds. Be it different magazine or different officers.
The situation at hand was a clusterfuck. And I do believe they acted correctly here.
So I’m going to look at how we could have had a different end result.
Bean bag rounds don’t work from a distance and can be deadly if used to close. You have about a 15 foot range where they do what they should.
I have mixed views on rubber rounds. The wrong round at the wrong distance … you can kill, or, just annoy someone.
I would prefer nobody dies in such situations and will always look for a better option in reviewing. Here. The fact that so few even know of it’s existence… is part of the problem. Yet I have no problem finding salt ammunition.
welp. That’s it then.
I believe the school took the best route they could given the shite laws and lack of funding in public education. Schools can’t afford to blow through their pittance of funds on lawsuits from rich entitled people.
That the police handcuffed a little girl over a drawing is a poor choice of overreacting.
Unnecessary. And did nothing for the situation here.
In that you don’t go to a doctor and have the shot pulled out. Nor does it do any lasting damage to the environment.
Like I said, hurts like bat to the head. Enough to make most people drop what their holding.
Next time you get a noticeable cut. Go grab the salt shaker. Take of the top, and poor it in the cut.
Then rub it in to simulate getting hit at 15-30m.
My first few chambered rounds are always salt. Best to try less lethal first.
I don’t want to kill you. But I will if I have to.
I’ve advocated for salt rounds locally. They do work more often than not. And the opportunity to end the situation without loss of life should be considered first.
It won’t do anything to stop the cop that you screwed over in the past and who hates you guts and chokes you to death (intentionally or not)… but in cases like this?
Keep in mind tactical 556 salt flechettes are effective up to 50m. Although those are very different than shot or shot flechettes. And can kill.
This article goes overboard on the killer cop idea but in reality we have a perfect opportunity to look at less deadly methods here.
Small-centre hollow rubber pellets or salt could have been deployed here.
And I’m still not sure what they didn’t just gas the guy with the happy little robot.
But the only stun weapon that would have worked is still experimental. Battery charged micro capacitor based tasers aren’t an approved thing (yet?).
meant to be "simple" and "easy-to-use-so-that-child-can-use-it-too"... And once they notice that you underestimated their skills, the tool will go to trashcan immediately.
You do have something there. The fastest way to piss off a young technoid is simping.
I remember ole via stacks. BOB would have been great for my grandmother, not school kids. HyperCard? Seriously people.
There’s something to be said in the US simply being a violent nation.
Born of religious renegades (north) and criminals (early in the south) and baptised in blood following the “shot heard round the world”.
Land rights in the 1680s. The revolution. Whiskey rights in the 1810s. Civl rights and state’s rights in the 1840s-1870s.
Self determination in the 1890s. Womens rights in the teens. Liquor rebellions in the tens-30s. Civil rights in the 60s. Political rights in the 70s and 80s.
Civil rights in the 90s.
What other nation has anti-violence protests that majority turned violent?
This country has always been prone to violent reaction.
Seriously. Look at the 2 attacks on our country by foreign states. We nuked one and flattened the other.
We’re simply a violent people. The good thing is we generally stay here. 😉

Re: Re: Re: Re:
Admitted.
The 4-6% absolute failure rate is a big problem.
But we deploy the taser with it’s even lower numbers.
Then again you pump 9 rounds into someone jacked on PCP and miss the heart or head they keep coming too.
For me it’s always finding the most effective non-lethal end to a situation.
