I'd reckon from his parents, but I never saw the incident myself. You know kids in high school though. Spread a rumour and it catches like wildfire. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a machete.

Kid nearly lopped an arm off another kid with a samurai sword. Guess he was bullied and he lost his shit one day. Kid with the sword got help, and the kid who got cut didn't lose an arm.
If I lived in a country with lax gun control, this would have been a much different situation.
Chemically induced motivation. Just how I ~~like~~ need it
I read tasers at first and was thoroughly confused as to why this man was electrifying honey to hurt bears.
Pretty shitty thing to say, but anyway...
Just because a few big corporations make cereal, doesn't mean you have an "illusion of choice". It's kind of how the system works. A company that makes 1 brand of cereal also makes dozens of hundreds more. They are using processes and equipment already in place to make a slight variation on existing products. It's kind of just how things work. Same with companies like Asus making dozens of hundreds of variations of monitors. I don't think that's illusion of choice. That's actual choices, with actual differences.
Anecdotally, where I live, large corporations stock the grocery shelves with all their cereals, but local companies do make it in as well. I think in my situation, I do have access to items produced locally.
If you want to make an argument that some dickhead company like Mondelez owns fucking everything, I'm right with you, but whining about cereal variety makes the argument really weak.
Okay fair enough. Then as a Canadian, what's your experience like?
I figured I was misunderstanding some context. Thanks for clarifying.
This still seems to me to be a US-centric post, not something involving all Western democracies.
Sweden is a western democracy?
Sounds like that Swedish centrist union should pound sand
For the first 2 points: Don't use "Western democracies". This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.
3rd point: Getting banned online is a "you" problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don't afford to their people.
4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don't, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.
5th point: Fair enough.
I don't directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme... In which case I do mean directly you.
Not much these days
Or YouTube vanced/revanced for mobile
Haha agreed. You don't have to go back and forth over several hours or days to sort an issue out when you call. You can just hash it all out over the phone in a fraction of the time, and be on your way.
Oh well, to each their own.
