    I mean… fine? France always does things kind of top-down and there’s certainly no reason you have to have your phone readily available, and plenty of evidence it’s good to be away from it.

    It’s not like they need to get to their phones to tell their parents there’s an active shooter on campus. 😐

        Tragedy in a French school:

        “Maman! Maman! Ze school is out of baguette and fromage! Please come pick me up! I am about to le faint!”

        Disgusting.

          “The video footage of the Ulvade TX shooting has been edited to remove the children’s screams.”

          I think the French will be fine, lucky fuckers.

              I think what they’re implying is that this kind of thing doesn’t really happen in France. At least not at the rate it’s happening in the U.S. So they don’t really need to worry about not having cell phones.

              To an extent it’s the same with Canada. We’re pretty lucky school shootings aren’t a common occurrence. What’s the worst that can happen here? The school runs out of maple syrup? (Of course I’m joking!)

                We’re pretty lucky

                Luck has nothing to do with it. We’ve actively decided to allow this shit to happen. The USA isn’t unlucky, we just fucking suck.

                  Yeah, you’re right. The whole system in the U.S. seems to be set up to enable these kinds of events.

                  I remember you @Arkouda@lemmy.ca . You decided to attack me without any provocation on /c/Canada on lemmy.ca.

                  Now are you going to start harassing me all over lemmy because you decided to target me for your bullying after your gratuitous attack and me calling you out about being a gaslighting troll? Is that what’s happening here?

                  I’m not going to tolerate this and neither are the mods.

                    Whatever you say bud. I didn’t know I had ever spoken to you, and knowing you are a massive bigot, don’t worry about further responses or “Harassment”. Block exists for a reason, and you don’t need it if you simply stop interacting.

                    Feel free to let the Mods decide. Won’t be hard to see your constant bans and removals for “Internet slap fighting”.

                    I didn’t even know that was a thing. LUL

          Uh… I’m actually French Canadian. My comment was meant as a joke.

          Edit: I really didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. And if that happened, I apologize.

              Don’t gaslight me. My comment was a joke and you reported it just to fuck with me. You’re just harassing me at this point. Stop.
