The article says "after the shooting" the gunman was killed.
Pretty fucking clear to me. Note it doesn't say "during" or any of its synonyms.
Oh please, like people ever read the article. They read the headline and just make up the rest. Nobody ever reads the article or looks up shit for themselves anymore. I've just had to correct someone about the cybertrucks wheels. Hate the vehicle all you want, I do for my own reasons, but don't just make shit up. And it's not just this shit, it happens in all sorts of fields. And the worst thing is you usually get a reply of "okay, but whataboutthis" and you just get more false shit. It's as if people think that their feelings/assumptions are somehow more valid than actual facts...
Love my G-Shock. Use it as my everyday beater at work etc. It's knocked about to all hell, but it doesn't look bad in anyway (a bonus of the casing being a polymer rather than metal). My only annoyance is that I love in Australia and we don't get the time synch radio signals down here. So mines out a little bit (it's only out by less than 3mins, and it's fast rather than slow, so I don't mind). Which is why I went with the Casio Oceanus for my more "fancy" watch. Yeah, it is sorta technically a smart watch, but it literally only has two smart functions. One, it can sync with my phone to adjust the time. And two, it can make my phone make noise if I hold down the button if I've lost my phone. Now, haven't actually figured out how to do that second one yet (I'm no idiot, so I've asked various friends to attempt to use it too, they can't either), but I don't need that feature, so I couldn't care less (I didn't even know it was a feature til I had the device in my hands and was reading the manual). But yeah, as far as smartwatches go, it's dumb as fuck. Which ain't bad thing, I ain't giving it any data to send to a server lord knows where...
Okay, here's some reading comprehension for you. The person you intially replied to made it clear that the death of the gunman happened after the gunman was subdued. They also said that appropriate force would be reasonable if he was actively shooting. You've basically repeated what they've said, trying to antagonise a response. It's a shitty way to try and have a discussion, and I'm gonna call people out on this every day of the week. Be better.
You know what else is common sense? Not commenting on a topic when you don't have all the facts. How do you know the force was appropriate? Cos all I'm reading says that gunman appears to have been killed after he'd been subdued. Hence the charges.
"I don't get my info from Google". Then use your search engine of choice, "google" is basically genericized by now. The info is all there for you to read and not rely on your memory which is clearly wrong. And that's understandable. It's been 10yrs.
And you're not entirely right on the YouTube not stealing users from tiktok. YouTube shorts have more active users than tiktok does by a good margin. And tiktoks growth is slowing as a result. Again, these are all facts.
And finally, you're a fucking idiot. Why the fuck did Instagrams user count explode when they implemented short form video if that wasn't an attractive feature? Why is my Instagram feed 85%+ videos over pictures? I don't even follow celebrities on there, a handful of bands (be less than 10), the rest is friends but mainly content creators creating comedy. Be it memes, original creations, stand up clips, etc. Your memory is shit and fallible, the pages I literally just read are not as they are saved for posterity. I suggest you take my original suggestion and do some research on the topic instead of relying on your feelings before you make yourself look like a bigger idiot. Cos yeah, Instagram didn't take 100% of vines users, but it still took a fucking huge amount of them. The data is all out there, written way better than I can write it. Go read it and stop trying to act like you know all, cos after you read a bit, maybe you might change your tune...
Sure, you might not have, but the data suggests that Instagram allowing its users to post 15s videos and monetise them was what allowed them to poach a lot of vine users. This isn't me just talking shit, google "why did vine shut down" and I guarantee 95%+ of the results will say the same thing. Twitter got scooped in a big way. I mean, vine had more users than Instagram before it's downfall.
Data caps may have played a part, but it would've been insignificant. They were 6s videos after all, and the average American was already using over 1GB of data even back then. Instagram had about the same amount of users at the time. And their willingness to give their users more flexibility than vine was by giving users 15s videos and the ability to monetise was all it took. It wasn't helped by twitter giving zero shits about vine. Which kinda makes sense, they had their own video thing going.
Seaquest dsv is what they want. They changed it to seaquest 2023 for the last season, but I'd skip that anyway, I rewatched it a couple of years ago and that season is just straight garbage. Big changes to the cast, apparently the cast and the producers etc were constantly bickering, and boy does it show. Easy to see why it got canned before the season had even ended.
