I'm not sure I like this thinking. It's almost making an excuse for the shooter. They could have decided not to shoot at any point. The very fact they made it long enough to shoot with so many eyes on them shows they had a way out without dying.

I know it's a weird argument considering your comment was really about something else, but assuming this was mental illness people have to know that it's never too late. That they could always get help.

So there's a couple things at play here.

  1. The post is kind of BS since that whole area isn't just SeaWorld's parking lot (see other comments for more info).
  2. The amount of parking spots a business must have is regulated. On average it's about 4 parking spots for every 1000 sqft. SeaWorld Orlando is 200 acres. That's a lot of parking spots they're required to have. I agree it definitely ends up being a TON of parking spots most businesses don't need, but it's not the business's fault.

And at some point you're going to realize it's arguments like that which made the commenter's faith misplaced.

I get your point and agree but it's worth mentioning that NASA and the ESA are very much involved in climate sciences. It's like one of the main things they do.

If that's the case, in most states they'd get into a lot of trouble if they don't follow those times. A lot of states (well, the cities and towns within those states) have regulations that businesses open to the public must display their business hours on the front. It's why you see them everywhere. Even in offices that probably have little to no "walk-in" traffic.

GoDaddy has always been pretty shitty.

I moved about half my domains (I have about roughly 30) to Cloudflare and then stopped as I started hitting caveats. For instance they considered some of my domains "premium" and wouldn't take them. I was having problems using them with some hosted website providers, etc

I let the rest of my domains transfer to SquareSpace and it's been mostly painless (besides Google Domains completely fucking up my email but that's wasn't SquareSpaces fault). I'll probably run out the registration on all of them and make a decision on where I'm moving my domains next year. Probably won't be Cloudflare though.

That said, Cloudflare definitely seems cheaper than SquareSpace.

Interesting read, thanks!

Don't tell him just in case.

In what way did Biden hijack the party? At best it's a Weekend at Bernie's type situation.

Wait, are we not supposed to tie $100 bills to our mortars?

My uncle came back from Vietnam with really bad PTSD (among other problems like alcoholism). Every fourth he would spend the whole day/night in the basement with the curtains drawn (to block out the flashes) and headphones on with the sound turned all the way up (to block out the sounds).

He would also take my cousins to buy fireworks every year.

I don't mean to minimize your struggle, I just thought the juxtaposition was interesting.

I hope you could work through your struggles. I'm happy to say he was able to. He was able to quit drinking and minimize the effects of his PTSD. By the end of his life he was out there watching us shoot off the fireworks.
