How to Survive an Active Shooting Encounter:

High anxiety is today's normal and public shootings are no longer unusual. We must constantly practice Situational Awareness and Pre-Attack Indicators (pay attention to what, and who, is going on around you). Learn to react properly (don't panic) to an Active Shooting Encounter. If this happens to you, Run or Hide or Fight. Read on for details and watch the video from DHS. This training video, from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), demonstrates possible actions to take if confronted with an active shooter scenario. The instructive video reviews the choices of evacuating, hiding, or, as an option of last resort, challenging the shooter. The video also describes how to assist authorities once law enforcement enters the scene. VIDEO SYNOPSIS: How to Respond When an Active Shooter is in Your Vicinity: Quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life: 1. Run (Evacuate). If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises. Be sure to:

Devise an escape route and plan NOW. Wherever you go, be aware of Marked Exits

If possible, help others escape but evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow

Leave your belongings behind

Discourage individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be located

Do not attempt to move wounded people

Follow the instructions of police officers

Keep your hands visible and empty so police don't mistake you for the perpetrator

Call 911 when it is safe to do so

2. Hide. If evacuation is not possible, find a safe place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you. Your hiding place should:

Be out of the active shooter’s view

Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., a room with a closed and locked door)

Not trap you or restrict your options for movement. To hinder an active shooter from entering your hiding place: lock or blockade the door with heavy furniture.

If the active shooter is nearby:

Lock or barricade the door

Silence your cell phone and/or pager. Turn off any source of noise (i.e., radios, televisions).

Hide behind large items (i.e., cabinets, desks)

Remain quiet

If evacuation and hiding out are not possible:

Remain calm

Dial 911, if possible, to alert police to the active shooter’s location

If you cannot speak, leave the line open and allow the dispatcher to listen and trace the call

3. Fight (Take action against the active shooter). As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter by:

Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her (keep in mind that this person has nothing to lose so fight as if your life depends on it)

Yelling, throwing items, and improvising weapons

Committing to your actions

Satine Kryze should not be a sympathetic character.

A complex and tragic one? Sure. Every day of the week.

But she did not 'have a point', neither in-universe, not outside of the sw framework. She isn't a hero, neither of her own story, nor of someone else's. There is no way she wasn't a tool. You should not look at her and think 'this woman has done nothing wrong and what ultimately happened to Mandalore was to no part her fault'.

Because guys. Friends. Strangers on the interwebs.

Pacifism doesn't work.

And it certainly wouldn't have worked in motherfucking Star Wars – the 'wars' is literally in the title – for a system or series of systems who wanted to stay neutral.

YOU DON'T STAY NEUTRAL FOR LONG BY JUST SAYING 'YEAH, NO THANKS <3' TO A LARGE-SCALE CONFLICT.

source: I am Swiss, we've looked at this in history class. Extensively.

Satine was a dreamer (thanks Obi-Wan) who was allowed to keep her delusions because they actively benefitted Palpatine's plans. And that's something you can quote me on. There is literally no other reason (apart from supremely bad writing but we'll leave that aside here) for her and her little friends' 'Alliance of Neutral Systems' or whatever to be allowed to exist.

Not that they were neutral in any way, shape or form, by the way.

So yeah sorry to the Satine stans, but you're idolizing a character that was written exclusively and specifically for Obi-Wan's manpain and who, in-universe, was a supremely bad politician. Because the level of mental dissonace needed to factually be a Republic System, have a seat in the fucking Republic Senate, rely upon their military for aid while actively proclaiming that All Violence Is Bad And Barbaric one sentence later AND THEN CLAIM TO BE NEUTRAL IN THE WHOLE CONFLICT – it's just mind-blowing. Even moreso that people actually look at this character and see something aspirational in her.

Again, I'll gladly dissect her character any day of the week. She is fascinating because of all the implications her existence as a head of state carries with it, as well as her deeply complicated family history and her relation to mandalorian culture.

But it just grates on me personally that that all gets ignored in favor of her being some sort of icon of white american saviorism (bc that's literally what she is) and her objectively bad political takes being treated like they are the only correct stance to be taken during the Clone Wars/Mandalorian Civil Wars.

If you think pacifism works and actually lets you stay neutral, I desperately urge you to open a history book. Because those two are mutually exclusive. Especially in the scenario that Star Wars paints.

Diomedes being the first name ever spoken in Epic the Musical is enough for me.

[leviraaaaaa]

Handing your drink to Levi to watch over it while you're gone and bro isn't even trying, he's literally just holding it the way he holds all his cups, fingers gripping the rim of it, in the most exposed way. Because he knows, he knows, who tf would have the balls to spike your drink when it's Levi fucking Ackerman holding it.

Adding to this post of mine about Jason resembling Bruce, I don’t really like the “Bruce is secretly his biological father” route because it’s just infinitely funnier when he’s NOT related to Jason whatsoever. They both are 100% sure of it, they’ve checked. Multiple times.

Just Jason looking in the mirror and seeing Bruce, never being able to escape his father no matter how much he tries. He’s literally going fucking insane because HOW THE FUCK IS HE DOING THAT??? THEYRE NOT EVEN RELATED SO HOW THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE BRUCE’S EYEBROWS, HIS EYES AND HIS CHIN?? Bruce’s fatherism is just that strong. It transcends genetics and it drives Jason insane.

It’s not even just Jason, Dick is stated to resemble Bruce too, to the point where he can literally impersonate him. Picture Dick, freshly moved out with raging, teenage angst fuelled anger issues, moves to a whole other city just to get away from Bruce only to get stopped on the streets multiple times by people calling him Bruce Wayne. He would go insane
