    Don’t forget Columbine. People always leave that out, but as far as historical milestones that shaped how awful American society has become, it was a big one.

      My high school experience started with Columbine freshman year and 9/11 senior year. Life has been so crazy.

      We had some copycats here in Germany and of course Counterstrike or some other game was to blame. Not the very real weapons the people were shot with.

        It is insane how common it’s become.

        “Back in my day, parents didn’t have to send their kids off to school every morning pretending everything was normal, but internally struggling with anxiety they might never see them again.”
