Because I'm sick of seeing the same trite "how is this satire" comments every time I post in this community, I've decided to start including the definition for everyone:

I don't know what's worse: the fact that these don't make national news anymore because they are so common or that I found out about the shooting through The Onion of all places.

this is what living in a terror state looks like. eventually the terror is so constant and ever present that you become numb to it. the best thing you can do is talk to friends and loved ones about how all this makes you really feel and how your proximity to this terror in your personal life has impacted you. we the people must take responsibility for weaving the narrative of this terror because the powers that be benefit from it and nurture it.

Yeah, I find out from seeing this infamous Onion headline. Again. Unfortunately we all know what it means by now.
