Nobody thinks that.

ctrl+a and ctrl+e are from Emacs.

I once ran ‘chown -R root:root /’ in a misguided attempt to solve some permissions issues I was having. 0/10, do not recommend. It turns out a lot of system things aren’t root owned…

Running a stupid command and learning from it is part of the learning process.

You ever know two 8 year olds who were close friends and then got in a fight?

You’re all caught up.

I’m at a point in my life where I don’t justify my opinion based on ideologues on lemmy. Thanks for the concern though.

Your question doesn’t make any sense. Your original question was in response to someone saying they don’t call the cops in their house.

I took it to be a “In this house we obey the laws of physics” type expression. If not then I’m yet to be corrected by the original commenter.

That may be why you’re not getting “serious” answers, because you didn’t ask a serious question, even if you thought you did.

I mean… I did. Just none of them would actually say it or even provide an alternative. I’d happily accept an alternative if they could provide one. They love to say “don’t call the cops” and it’s utter bullshit. They apparently don’t like having their bullshit exposed either.

sigh

Whatever. You’re just arguing against the straw-man in your head. Have a nice day.

Given the ridiculous and insulting responses before this it’s remarkable that you’ve somehow come up with the absolute stupidest response of the thread. Congrats I guess?

Also - you do know that despite the aweful response the cops did actually eventually kill the shooter right?

So… Don’t call the cops gets you… What exactly? Basically the same thing but the shooter is allowed to just continue without any resistance?

I’m being serious even though I know you aren’t.

Its you who say that I am. You know absolutely nothing about my opinion on cops. Like literally zero. I know that because not only have I not given my opinion on cops but what you describe is NOT how I feel about cops.

But you seem to know what I think better than I do.

Still. No. Answer.

I’m gonna single you out since you gave the most coherent response at some point and hope you can talk like an adult for a moment (an assumption I’m making since you’re probably like 13).

Why are you so mad at me?

Still no answer.

Still no answer.

Your trophy is taken back. Sorry - I thought you were serious.

You’re right, there is no perfect answer so we should just do nothing and allow the cops to do whatever the fuck they want and give them immunity for everything.

Where did you get this from? I genuinely don’t understand the childish level of anger I’m getting for asking a legitimate question. When people say “never call the cops” they neglect to say what one should do instead. Just hide in a corner and wait for inevitable death?

Go fuck yourself you stagnant kowtowing twat.

Kowtowing to WHO??? Are you people crazy or something?

I did, actually. I’ve responded to the one person who actually replied without calling me an idiot. What the fuck do you think I want? Why u so mad?

Congrats! You win a prize for offering the first actual answer to the question without simply attacking me for my perceived biases. 🏆

In most mass shootings I doubt negotiation is going to get very far - and the delay may cause more deaths. Many times the perpetrator simply commits suicide. These are folks who have hit ‘fuck it’ and are looking to end it all and cause a lot of damage on the way out. Often by the time police are even able to respond they’ve done most of the damage they will do already.

The rest sounds an awful lot like SWAT.

Given the amount of acrimony in the responses I’ve received it’s not me who is the one that is upset.

I only asked a simple question. Yes - it was an honest question.

The anger I’m getting is because we all know the answer and you don’t like it. And that answer is that if you’re in an office and you hear gunshots - you will dial 911 in a heartbeat.

Still attacking me, and no answer.
