I’ve lived in Chicago for several years now, and I’ve experienced some pretty cold weather, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to the sensation of the snot freezing inside of my nose

probably my single least favorite thing about posting here; you can say, explicitly, “I am not endorsing this, I think it’s bad, I’m just explaining how it works” and you will get attacked for endorsing it anyway
this site seems to genuinely have an issue with viewing explanation as a form of endorsement
Me outlining the conclusions the tribunal reached is not me endorsing them. Especially when I emphasised repeatedly that this is a first instance decision and non-binding. I'm really not sure what more I can do to make my position on this clear - it has quite literally been my entire life since FWS.

I have a theory that the general epistemic crisis has led to a lot of very online people getting used to communicating primarily through oughtposting and kind of forgetting how to deal with isposting
people gotta chill out about making normative vs. descriptive claims. it’s tedious to have to specify “of course, I do NOT support fire” if you’re talking about a house burning down.

there was a little sandwich place/wine shop that made the most incredible sandwiches in my last neighborhood, and it was such a huge disappointment when they closed. my favorite was this one turkey-apple-cheddar sandwich. they also, weirdly, made really good chocolate-covered pretzels.

BREAKING: CNN reports that antifa tricked ICE agents into crashing and destroying vehicle by painting a tunnel on a brick wall
rioters are now dropping BANANA PEELS right outside the doorway of ICE Minneapolis in order to make agents SLIP AND FALL. This is DISGUSTING
rioters are now propping up large ANVILS over the doorway of ICE Minneapolis in order to make agents GET GIANT BUMPS ON THEIR HEADS. This is DISGUSTING

To underline the point that a lot of Americans have a cartoon understanding of dictatorships, consider that even Hitler had to worry about public opinion and in fact one of the key functions of the gestapo was assessing the mood of the country.

I've seen some folks giving into doomerism by citing the US's history of paramilitary violence shutting down fair elections in the South, and I want to add some historical context to support Jamelle here (as an historian of Reconstruction paramilitary violence)
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

This! The Federation was already an empire in decline, and by abandoning one mission and one child, it destroyed itself. It’s an amazing metaphor for how states which cease to care even for its citizens are signing their death warrant.
The Burn in DSC *is* a social commentary. It’s a take on The Ones Who Walk From Omelas. The Federation has become Omelas - sacrificing the weakest ones (planets, people) to their comfort (warp speed dilithium core worlds). But this time they get fucked by the one child they abandoned …. 1//2

big brother/big sister program except we pair NYT editors with volunteer dom/mes who can degrade them the way they so desperately want in private and they'll stop making it everyone else's problem
Really, really, don't understand the humiliation kink of that fucking newspaper, so insecure about their own claim to being american that they have to ask rural yahoos for validation of their americanness. Rural white yahoos are a tiny and shrinking minority!

this thread is worth reading. I do think there can be value in a shutdown, but everyone needs to be a lot clearer going in that any possible victory will be very limited in scope and that we're asking federal employees + people depending on federal programs to pay for it.
Before the last shutdown I remember the dominant rhetorical line here being “Democrats aren’t shutting down the government, Republicans are doing it with their actions, they’re in charge.” This time I’m seeing a lot more “Democrats must shut down the government.”

ANSI Z87.1-2010 Z87+ or MIL-PRF-32432 is the rating you want for glasses/goggles. Hockey goggles also prob fine and ballistic proof even if not rated
This is Minneapolis elementary school pick up:
The alert also recommends: "Bring your whistle & wear your hat. If you have a respirator or goggles bring them in a small backpack. We don't want to show up looking alarming for the kids but chemical weapons are being used widely in the area."
2/2

Honestly if you’re currently unemployed, sounds like ICE standards are so low you could do some good by joining, going through training and then quitting at the most inconvenient time.
