Yeah not getting any sympathy from me on that one…
It was a private message. You’ve never engaged in hyperbole with your friends?
About shooting children? No. Absolutely not.
Somebody report Bill Watterson for threatening children.
Seriously, I’ve never met an involved parent (or any other child caretaker) who didn’t admit to moments of hyperbole like this, even if only internally. You’re just being a judgemental prick.
ugh. I have met people like this before. I mentioned once to someone. You know when you are so angry you could literally kill em. They responded no never. no one should. Im like. Im talking for a brief second you are seeing red. still they deny. I just dropped it but like would not trust anything coming from that person to be truth.
That’s not a threat, it’s a public comic. I’m not judging anyone, but you have to look at it from the POV of law enforcement. If they saw a comment like this and did nothing, and something actually happened, they’d be absolutely crucified for “ignoring red flags”.
I think the thing here is why are they being contacted about a private message. If anything only those party to it should possibly report it. It stands as it does as a cautionary tale about using any service like this because private conversations should not be looked at in a public announcement kind of way.
Because WhatsApp scans messages for when “imminent harm exists”.
That’s not how Snapchat works.
Absolutely.
It wasn’t a “public announcement”, it was forwarded to law enforcement.
yeah by someone who should have never been privy to the convo. I meant that snapchat is treating it like its public discourse.
Did we just move the goalposts from ‘nobody can make jokes like this’ to ‘police have to investigate since they got a report’?
We didn’t move anything, the statement I made was that they get no sympathy from me.
The implication there of course being that she’s in the wrong, hence why she doesn’t deserve any sympathy for having her life destroyed over a dark joke.
Because she is.
That’s a long long way from “having her life destroyed”.
Okay now I get it, at first I thought you were being serious but then I realized you were joking with the law enforcement getting crucified comment. You’d have to be literally brain dead to think something that stupid.
Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but he isn’t. Joking, that is.
Yeah I was being sarcastic haha. I’ve gotten into arguments with this guy before, one of the densest people on lemmy without a doubt.
You dont know any teachers do you?
Of course I do.
Not the people that taught you, i mean friends as an adult.
Does any adult really not know any teachers?
Apparently not you, cause i guarantee that every teacher with experience has had at least one student that turned their humor dark.
No, as I said previously, I know lots of teachers. I have one in my immediate family. You can keep insisting for some weird reason that I don’t, but it’s not a good look, because you don’t know anything about me.
yes
