There are a surprising number of grammatical errors in that blog post. Did anyone proof read it, I wonder?

Thank you!

What plant is that?

That’s an interesting idea, but I feel that it overcomplicates things without much benefit.

I apologize if I’ve offended you, as that wasn’t my intention — I’m only trying to understand your opinion. I’m aware that we have different opinions, I’m just curious what your rationale is for yours.

Am I correct in understanding that you are inferring that the security guards would be likely to do what the police did?

replying in individual comments is stupid and more confusing.

For clarity, would you mind explicitly stating why you believe that atomic comments are intrinsically more confusing?

Ha, I didn’t notice that in the thumbnail. Very interesting indeed, if it is a 22 degree halo!

Would you mind elaborating?

Regarding that, I found this:

The school district also has its own police force with four officers and partners with local law enforcement, according to the document. Secondary campuses have staff who patrol door entrances, parking lots and perimeters of campuses. [source]

If that’s what you are referring to, it isn’t exactly what I meant. I was more referring to a dedicated static armed security force that watches entrances to the school.

What if the security guard is competent?

Even if the police were functioning well enough to act to stop a school shooter, there is still the issue of time — it takes time to arrive to the scene to respond to the threat. A competent on-site security presence would be a good first line of defense. Think of a time sensitive scenario like a home invasion — would you rather have the means to immediately protect your home, or would you rather wait for the police to arrive? What if someone attacks you on the street? Would you rather have the means to immediately protect yourself, or would you rather wait for police to arrive? In some cases, no matter how competent the law enforcement is, it’s simply impossible for them to respond fast enough.

Oh. I completely missed that. Thanks for clarifying! I’m still at a loss for what it means, though.

OP’s wildly misunderstanding.

I’d say it’s more just an overabundance of caution — rainwater collection laws aren’t without precedent. Admittedly, given the context of OP’s post, my comment doesn’t warrant much concern.

Large collections of rainwater could disrupt water ecosystems. Admittedly, my comment doesn’t warrant much concern given the context OP’s post. Here is an article talking about Colorado’s water collection laws. Here’s a Reddit thread that offers some more information.

Goodbye.

I was trying to say that the hardware cost to host it may not be expensive, but the management cost could be quite costly.

you should look at a website called Kialo. I haven’t used it in years and I don’t know if it’s active but it’s an interesting concept based very much on that idea

Ah yeah, I’ve heard of that site. It definitely seems interesting, but I’m not too keen on getting invested in another centralized/non-fediverse service.

New comments have to be approved

Hrm, this feels like it has immense potential for administrative abuse.

I can definitely see the service’s potential, but I would like to see something like it that can connect with the Fediverse.

I dont know if they can see my content but I dont think they do.

From what I understand, they should still be able to see your content — you are still posting to the network.

You can always ask the folks on .ml for they make the software.
