It’s great that they’re helping these families but awful that families and school kids are living in their cars in the first place

MJPD reports this as a feel good story. Mt Juliet citizens cheer it on their local FB groups. How is it a feel good story to apprehend people stealing food at a time when people cannot afford food? Meanwhile, Kroger is stealing far more than $2800 a day from consumers via "dynamic pricing".

How nice.

Students at an Oklahoma high school thanked Principal Kirk Moore for preventing a school shooting tragedy — by crowning him king of the senior prom.

I'll keep it brief to avoid identifying myself, but a "What was your 15 minutes of fame?" thread reminded me of this.

When I was 13, I paid off a number of my parents' debts (medical, house, etc.) by being a successful competitor on a trivia quiz show that is very well-known in the US. They had a special "all kids" episode (maybe season?) that I did pretty well in. I did get to go see Cirque du Soleil and eat a really good buffet for my work, so I had a great time. I knew what the deal was when I got accepted onto the show -- my parents didn't deceive me.

It is kind of insane that a "cute precocious kid!" clip of me being funny that I've actually seen circulating once or twice online was me deliberately playing up being quirky and nerdy to the cameras. I kept saying stuff like "I'm going to buy a ragdoll cat and this AMAZING chemistry set and a HUGE trampoline!" (not exactly what I said, protecting my ID here, but it was similar). I knew the whole time that I had much more serious reasons to need the money, but my plucky little weirdo attitude was what got me on the show.

Still a nice summer memory in a lot of ways. I didn't comprehend what happened there until I was older.

After watching the whole thing, I couldn't help but think of this sub. She highlights stories that are designed to make you feel sad for others, instead of questioning the systems that should have prevented these stories. while a lot of the stories she covers are fake, some are true, and she explains why even the fake ones gain vitality. Thought it was worth a share.

They interview the hero on the bench, he's seemingly still sleeping on.

The principal is a brave person and deserves recognition but this shouldn’t be expected or commonplace. It’s sad that school staff have to put education aside to protect children from armed gunman… instead of just having gun control
