No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Well, yeah sure - but aside from that …. Nothing!
( yes, /s just in case)
CBC is also reporting on it if you want to hear from a local Canadian source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/livestory/active-shooter-alert-tumbler-ridge-secondary-school-bc-live-updates-9.7083740
I would like to add to my upvote a personal note of gratitude for the time and effort you put in here.
The question may not be inherently stupid, although it does contain a false premise. You really should follow the news before you start claiming the news channels aren't reporting a story. It's been front page news on literally every publication for 3 days now. I have to assume then that this question is actually rhetorical. If there's a statement you're looking to make you should probably just make it.
No statement but for the past 3 days recorded NBC, ABC, and CBS nightly news and no coverage.
Why would Americans care? This happens every other week down there. Here, one is a national tragedy, there it's just a Wednesday. This is the what happens when people soak their brains in the American social media BS too much.
it does contain a false premise.
Someone's learning what "beggaring the question" means.
Americans are afraid it's yet another thing Canada does better than them.
This is pretty dark.
I've got 14 articles in my RSS reader. Check Global News. https://globalnews.ca/news/11665409/tumbler-ridge-shooting-bob-zimmer/
...if it wasn't reported, how did you hear about it in the first place?
I am a big fan of international news.
It is very much being reported on here in Canada; so much so the PM has even talked about it
...the same news that apparently isn't reporting on it?
A simple google and the shower's over without a wank.
Any school shooting is tragic, but incessant back to back coverage outside of the immediate affected area is not very helpful to anyone, and has been shown ^[https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0117259] to cause copy cats ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/16/us/school-threats-closings.html]. The impact to the community shouldn't be glossed over, but especially for this particular incident, there seems to be a lot of focus on the identity of the shooter (and why it has been a topic of discussion), and that's what especially results in copy cats. If the goal is to minimize mass shootings, not sensationalizing them is the key.
God I wish the US did this. Instead of the old stupid ass saying: It is better to live in infamy than to die than to live in a world of obscurity.
