Might want to keep that handy

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

You'll need it if you're planning to go to college or become a CEO.

I mean the next shopping trip or concert you're gonna want to have it.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, if you do well enough, and fuck over enough people, you might become the CEO of a major health insurance company.

This is dumb. If the students actually did this, one of them would definitely end up shooting up the rest. Everyone knows you keep the vest on until the ceremony is over and you're safely home.

It’s symbolic, those are traditional throwing vests. Students are still wearing theirs.

or pretty much any country that is not USA

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

In a lot of States it remains essential to wear after the Graduation, too much idiots, insane and removed people with weapons in the USA, half of the population seeing the election results.

It took me a couple minutes to even know what the hell these objects were

Symbolicly throwing away years of trivial information that may or may not be dredged up later in life

[–] TheWolfOfSouthEnd@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Has a uni ever had a shooting?

[–] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 7 points 1 week ago

My assumption is that Americans are probably under constant fire at all times

[–] monovergent@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Virginia Tech did. But university shootings seem far less common.
