Literally just a few months ago somebody killed 19 people with a knife. You may recall that’s more than 12. You could at least do the tiniest bit of research before making moronic statements like knives are objectively less capable of mass killing than guns.
Crazy is a hell of performance enhancer.
I mean… guns are objectively more lethal than knives? That is fact. If they wern’t the stock military weapon would be a bayonet rather than a rifle. Seriously, it’s creationism level denial to think that melee weapons are as effective as guns; see all of military history. That doesn’t mean you can’t kill a bunch of people with a knife, but guns make it a lot easier.
Which weapon is “more lethal“ depends entirely on a variety of factors. An empty gun is not more lethal than a sharpened knife for example. Obviously military guns are more desirable than melee weapons on the battlefield, but that’s not what we’re talking about. And this isn’t an argument that guns aren’t dangerous, but rather a rebuttal to the idea that knives are less capable of being used in mass murder. Guns aren’t just magic murderer machines that operate independently. If a firearm is being handled by somebody who doesn’t know how to aim they might shoot 50 rounds and only hit two people. Meanwhile somebody can hack and slash with a lot less precision an end up racking up more injuries with a knife. It depends entirely on the situation, but knives are not inherently less dangerous than guns and the whole idea that someone with a knife could “only ever get a few people before being tackled“, as the anon originally suggested, is a huge fallacy.
Seeing all these neo-Bolsheviks celebrating the anniversary of the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and the brutal slaughter of his children is a good reminder that these “people” don’t have the slightest compunction about killing even children who aren’t wholly committed to their cause. I really can’t have any sympathy for these people
Soot tags gather after fires in areas with low circulation. They are not, as commonly believed, ash covered spider webs.
oh, well then what the FUCK are they???
They’re made of sticky particles from a polymer or petroleum based fire, like burning carpet, drapes, upholstery, and clothes. Due to a static charge, they chain together and naturally gather near ceiling corners because the rising hot air pushes them into the cool spots by convection.
Because they’re formed by static electricity, they can only be removed with professional chemicals and equipment. Attempting to remove them improperly will only break the chain before all the soot can be captured, leaving the remaining soot to spontaneously reform the webs later. Even worse, trying to wipe or wash them away can firmly adhere the soot to your wall or ceiling, which will permanently stain it.
A natural phenomena that only coincidentally resembles the damned webs of transdimensional ghost spiders.
Normally acting out is a child’s way of expressing frustration or some other issue. They are super young and don’t have a big vocabulary, nor do they have the experience to deal with these “big emotions”. So, I can assure you that you are not alone in this.
However, this is a bit outside of my realm of expertise. My friend @hislittleflower-throughconcrete works in the field of childcare and might have an answer! babycenter.com is also a great resource for parents.
