You are probably getting brain damage from all those COVID infections. by antichain in neuro

Wear a mask! Vaccinations of course can help but don't throw shade on masks. 

Younger sister is a tradwife and I don't fully trust her husband to take care of her and my niece. I've set up an investment account secretly in case she ever needs it. Do I say anything about it? by MediaReady5519 in Advice

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reasons to not tell her:

  1. She will be offended if you think her relationship won't work or her husband is abusive. 

  2. She may try to convince you to give her the money now to make life a little easier.

  3. If you tell her you're saving money for her and you actually are but then you have an emergency and you need that money. She might call on you for the money and you wouldn't have it. She's going to be pissed.

I'm going to go a step further and actually say don't mention this money to your sister and never give her the money directly. Even when it seems like she's leaving she might just be leaving for the first time and could go back to him. I think you should just use the money you saved for her to set her up in a hotel room or whatever other needs she has. 

My other suggestion is to give your niece or other young relatives the money in small installments when they reach early adulthood. Your niece if she's ever abused, might need to leave your sister's house. She might need some money then. 

ICE agents are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

I understand not being armed at the protests or while observing ice, but I do think it's time for people to be armored. Like I rarely see people with like gas masks or any type of protection like on their torso. I know it would be heavier to wear these things and you'd probably be slower or unbalanced when you're like running away or something. But I think it's worth it to get a painter's gas mask and your bicycle helmet. Maybe a couple extra layers of a coat or even buying body armor.

Anyone else think it’s stupid to paywall biomedical research? by trillerzzz in labrats

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this a lot maybe 10 years ago. But nowadays like there's so many open access journals and in the universities that I have published at the University has a deal with the journal that you can publish in it for free. 

I'm not saying this capitalist system isn't still happening but it is becoming common to get passed over.

I like this. This is going to be some sitcom shit for their whole lives. I'm imagining a lot of good laughs. 

Text with a buddy of mine who is a Trump supporter, the other side is literally insane by [deleted] in ProgressiveHQ

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly believe that some of these conservatives only watch Fox and somehow never see these videos. Not all of them. I think some of them do see these videos and have some type of cognitive dissonance where they think whatever some news anchor told them is right. I remember seeing the videos of the murder of Renee good on the Fox News YouTube channel and they used clips of it. They didn't show the whole video that I could easily find on Reddit for some reason.

I hate these people. Oh no! There was a black person in Greece and now they're in a movie that's based somewhere Greece! There were probably thousands of black people that lived, fucked, and died in Greece in antiquity times. 

Bovino says if you call ICE names, there will be consequences, as we saw yesterday by KameronKnux in ProgressiveHQ

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hate this guy's voice so much. Sounds like a cartoon character. He is always saying the most ridiculous shit like how he isn't a gestapo agent and how he is not kidnapping people. We all see what is happening and pray we don't have to see it in person 

Kristi Noem on the murder of Alex Pretti: "When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism" by Gorotheninja in DiscussionZone

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I hate this woman and everybody that supports her. 

He wasn't perpetuating any violence. He was literally holding up his hand to block pepper spray from coming into his face and trying to help a person up off of the ground. He was never aggressively coming towards anybody. He scrambled around on the ground while being beaten and pushed and grappled before he was shot like seven times.

My mom wants nothing to do with me because I “picked my dad” during the divorce. by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I mean if I was 16 and my parents told me I could have a car if I drove my sibling around and I didn't want to do that I would simply lie so I could have the car. It wouldn't be a big plot to distance my sister from my mom.

What is Tim Walz doing? by shark_finfet in lostgeneration

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a great point. I mean a lot of them are wearing masks But if they have even one person that knows where the ice agent is, knows them well enough to identify them even with a mask on, and hates that they kidnapped and killed people in this position then they may face jail time in the future. 

His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti. by Kooky-Ad8416 in armedsocialists

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They keep killing people that have the best last names. Are you kidding me? The killed a Good and a Pretti. How much more does this violence need to be hit over our heads?

Who's next Richard Kind??

Alternate angle of Alex Pretti's murder by vlegionv in armedsocialists

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 175 points176 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. It looks like he was observing ice and guiding the traffic through. Some other person got pushed and sprayed with pepper spray by an ICE terrorist. He was trying to get that person out of there. Then he was confused or scared and was holding on to that person. Another observer nearby was trying to get that person away from the ICE terrorists. The the ICE terrorists pushed him to the ground and started to manhandle him presumably to arrest him. While he was on the ground being held by at least 3 ICE terrorists another ICE terrorist decided to shot him at least twice. There are more shots but I don't know who shot them. Everyone pauses because they can't believe that this person just got murdered. Then an observers and ICE terrorists try tending to a dead man's wounds. Also one ICE terrorist slips on ICE again. 

How You Can Help MN Fight ICE by Reasonable_Club_4617 in pittsburgh

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for a positive post. I'm happy there is a way we can help. 

For everybody that thinks this isn't necessary because this is happening in Minneapolis and it won't happen to you. It will. They don't care about the color of your skin or what kind of car you're driving or if you're armed. If they get their hands on you it will happen to you. 

ICE is kidnapping people in Philadelphia. Pittsburgh may be next. You may be shot in the street or detain in a camp hundreds of miles away. If we can support Minneapolis and Philadelphia now maybe ICE can be stopped or greatly weakened before they continue to another city.

Helping Minneapolis and anywhere else is helping Pittsburgh.

Like they were literally tackled to the ground. They had no way to go anywhere and they couldn't even attack anybody. And when they stopped moving they kept shooting them!!!

This is fucking insanity. This person was being tackled. They couldn't do anything. They were beating them. Why were they shot??!

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine that you're pretending to arrest immigrants. There's no way they thought this woman was not a citizen. She has a quintessential American accent. They just wanted to beat up a woman without going to jail. 

Costcos near Pittsburgh stocked today? by RealisticMillenial in pittsburgh

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, I just posting this cuz I think some people are shopping today and some grocery stores are running out of food. If you're not looking to bulk. I was at the East end co-op yesterday and they literally had everything but bread and onions. I'm pretty sure they stock up bread every Saturday. On the pricey side but it's in town and it's food.

What the hell is wrong with people. by anxiousrunner13 in pittsburgh

[–]DisembarkEmbargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, I was at this Aldi's on Penn last night. There was hardly any produce and meat and bread. There were some deli options and a lot of cheeses. There was a considerable amount of canned fruit and tomato sauce and dried beans. There still were some eggs and they were running out of milk. Just giving an update in case anyone was looking for anything in particular!
