Flying? In this economy?
Was on a plane for the first time a couple years ago for my honeymoon.
Likely going to be for the last time, given every time I get a raise, the price of everything fucking triples.

I don’t think you understand statistics…
Also, you’re more likely to survive in the back of the plane versus the front.
FAA funding cuts: hold my beer. 🍺
Just to point out, but the last time we had a scandal about a plane that kills people, it’s safety record was about the same as riding a motorcycle in city transit (AKA, one of the most dangerous things people actually do).
Just because the average is very low, it doesn’t mean whatever problem people are pointing isn’t an issue.
Odds don’t mean shit when you win the die in a fireball lottery. Odds are zero if you don’t play.
Says the one who hasn’t yet had an aeroplane crash into their house
Just choose to not get born. Can’t die if you don’t exist taps temple.
In USA this is not much comfort, shootings every hour and shit
There is also the comic version from Alarmingly Bad.
wouldn’t that achieve the opposite?
edit: ah, that’s the joke. woosh.
No. We can change it to waaaaay way way lower chances.
The handguns are free with purchase of a flight ticket
Would there be more or less mass shootings if literally every adult had a gun
There would be more homicides in general and waaaaay more suicide.
Most people would probably do more harm than good trying to stop a mass shooting with their own gun.
Right. People with a gun in the house are more likely to be injured or killed by a gun, not less.
Not to mention, most people aren’t going to train enough to be effective. Most people don’t respect deadly objects in their possession enough to learn how to use them safely and effectively. That’s made obvious any time you watch people drive.
And you have to worry about the cops shooting the good Samaritan when the show up. Possibly by accident even.
More until we reach convergence or critical mass and become singularity shooting.
Yeehar bullets all the way down
