    Wait, so people IRL find out you’re American and start making school shooting jokes at you? I thought I was supposed to have bad social skills.

      Yeah. To be totally fair, it’s not a lot of people percentage wise, but it’s a lot of jokes for me to experience because I work at a busy bakery, and chat with easily a hundred people in a shift. I probably get ~10 casual jokes about mass shootings in a week, most of which are about schools, but not all.

      It happens more in social gatherings like larger parties or when playing with strangers at a game store, but I can push back more there, so it’s not as bothersome.
