  • DHS has argued that agents still identify themselves while masked: “When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by highly sophisticated gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13, criminal rings, murderers, and rapists,” assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a September statement.

    If this were true, every judge, police officer and prosecutor would be dead. So no, they do not need to hide their faces. We all know why they are really hiding their faces.

    Release the files.




  • Anyone that only focuses on themselves in the relationship. Relationships are a two way road. Both people should care for one another and be interested in their life. I just read an article where a liberal woman dated a bunch of conservative men, and they categorically only care for themselves and didn’t even ask her about her life, even over multiple dates. Huge red flag.

    Also, anyone that destroys a bathroom regularly and doesn’t clean up after themselves. That sort of thing can be improved over time, but it’s a sign that they’re probably a dirtbag. Personally, I’m just not compatible with that.





  • Console exclusives always seemed stupid to me. That said, I always preferred Xbox controller layouts.

    After 3/ODST, Halo was effectively over once Bungie sold off the IP. I’ve heard the new version is using AI in some capacity. If I really wanna play it, I’ll just play MCC on PC.

    2 and 3 are where the story really got exciting. It’s fun to play the games in strictly chronological order, where you play all of Reach and 1, 2 for a bit, switch ODST, finish 2, then play 3. Extremely satisfying.







  • Someone hopped a nearly 6 foot tall by 4 feet deep construction barrier blocking both ends of an out of service escalator, with multiple pallets or replacement escalator stairs stacked all around it. (The elevator was in service right by the escalator)

    Anyways, they predictably fell through the massive hole in the escalator and cut their shins to ribbons on the exposed stairs. They then got to the bottom of the train station platform and were bitching about their legs. Eventually, they hailed a police officer just to bitch and whine further about their gouged shins. The officer had the grace to just listen to the guy and not call him a dumb motherfucker for hopping the multiple tall plastic barriers and signs. I was just shaking my head in amazement until my train came.

    They’re lucky that they didn’t fall the 30-45 feet down to the train platform by hopping the construction barrier either.


  • In people’s defense, unless you are taking uni economics classes, you probably aren’t getting taught macro/micro + general economics, though it is interesting as hell imo.

    Technically, our representatives should, in theory, be learning this stuff and protecting the average person so that civilians can focus on foresty/rocket science/ R&D/public health/business/infrastructure/etc.

    That’s why representatives technically are supposed to exist. Nobody has time to learn the one and outs of everything needed to run an entire country smoothly. Especially complicated stuff, like public health, economics and trade, sewage systems, transit systems, and centralized grid planning. That shit is complicated AF.
