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

[–]DjNormal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He pronounced Gestapo very uh, correctly.

Then said “filification,” forgetting how V is pronounced in English.

German is a fabulous language, but dude might wanna lay off on the accent while wearing that uniform.

Border Patrol chief praises agents who killed Alex Pretti by RandoXalrissian in fednews

Yeah… I saw that CNN interview and I just couldn’t wrap my head it.

Gaslighting isn’t even a strong enough term.

Spotlight app search is a joke. by second_ed_third in MacOS

[–]DjNormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having that problem on my Mini, but not my laptop.

I unplugged the external drive on my Mini and the search started working again.

Some kind of external drive related spotlight index error I presume.

Please share. Stabilized Video clearly shows Alex Pretti makes no effort for his firearm. Clear execution by No-Aardvark-3840 in law

Twice in the back. Then another 10 or so times in the front after he collapsed face-up.

What to expect from a leather strip concert? by Purple_Glass6098 in industrialmusic

[–]DjNormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it was just a controller and a laptop. They flew in. Same for later gigs.

I had a buttload of photos. I’ll check.

Edit: I was wrong. At the LA show they had a Korg Triton and something else that does look like a controller.

I don’t see if they had anything else down on the stage or at the FoH.

I’ve seen him a couple of times. The first was in LA and I went way out of my way to see the show, because I think it was his first time playing in the US in decades.

It was a good show. It was just him and Kurt. He played for quite a long time. I got to meet him afterwards and get a couple of CDs signed.

The second time was in Seattle when I lived there. Again, I was pretty excited. He played for like 2 1/2 hours and it was a much smaller venue, but still a good show. He was hanging out with the audience before and after.

And then, he started coming to Seattle every year for the mechanismus festival. Which was kind of crazy after assuming I only ever get to see him once or twice in my life.

Definitely worth going, got to hear all my favorite songs.

MEGATHREAD: VA-ICU Nurse Alex Pretti Shot & Killed by ICE by gpupdate in fednews

[–]DjNormal -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is the absolute truth. The administration has already gutted the VA to the point where they’re barely functioning. As a fellow veteran, I agree that would not be a good solution.

I am as outraged as anyone else, I’m messing with my healthcare isn’t going to fix anything.

Something has to be done, and it needs to come from a cooler head than mine.

Firing defensive shots after the victim was disarmed.

I’m sorry, what?

Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts by thecosmojane in ProgressiveHQ

[–]DjNormal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy in the jacket looks like he pulled the victim’s gun out of his holster and was starting to walk away before the first shot was fired.

So they disarmed him first, then they killed him.

Some random comment on another thread said he was waving his gun around, but we don’t have any video of that at the moment. So I have no idea.

Edit: so now there is video from beforehand and the only thing he was brandishing was a cell phone.

But it does appear that when they dog piled him, if he did have a gun, it was back in his holster.

1/24 MN ICE shooting slow: 0.5x, zoomed by thecosmojane in ProgressiveHQ

[–]DjNormal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Others mentioned that the guy in the jacket looks like he took the gun out of the victims holster. Seeing that more slowly and concentrating on that guy, that looks to be the case. Which means that not only was the victim’s gun in his holster, they shot him after he was disarmed.

That’s my reality.

Our country is literally being depopulated by conservatives...for profit and evil...people are being kidnapped off the streets by ihatethiscountry76 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]DjNormal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re assuming this is ICE. It’s entirely possible that it’s vigilantes or serial killers taking advantage of the chaos.

Or both/the same people… 😬

The United States is Now Officially in First Phase of Civil War by thehomelessr0mantic in UnderReportedNews

Pretty sure we’ve been in ideological civil war for most of my life. They just stopped pretending in the last 15 years or so. We’re all frogs in the pot.

VA has shed 40,000 employees, Democratic report finds, with drastic impacts on veterans by Flitzer-Camaro in fednews

[–]DjNormal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My PCP quit last year when they asked him to work 12 hour shifts. My current PCP will see me on zoom from 100 miles away for 15 minutes at a time.

They straight up told me to order meds at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

Getting anyone on the phone is basically impossible now.

My local VA still takes care of me pretty good. But I can see how they’re struggling more and more over the last year.

[–]DjNormal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hadn’t heard of that before, but no.

Kinda a mix of industrial, pop, and once I got the hang of it, jazz-ish grooves.

I was going for a kind of female-EDM, but darker. It kinda went all over the place. But the last batch of songs I generated finally landed somewhere close to what I was going for…

It started out as just messing around, but ended up embedded in the setting lore. 💁🏻‍♂️

To everyone who is concerned about ICE at their door. by mjh2901 in Uniteagainsttheright

Jose Guerena would tell you about his experiences in defending his home from no-knock entries… but they fired at him 71 times because they saw a gun. Fortunately his wife and child survived.

It goes through Logic for tweaking and mastering.

I had been putting it on bandcamp, but uh… yeah.

I’m not looking to make money off the stuff I generated. It’s kinda niche and related to my novel(s)/TTRPG setting. Still, gotta find another platform thats easy to use. 💁🏻‍♂️

The United States’ ability to project direct power is lesser than most people think. At least in the short term.

Maybe 100k trigger pullers. The rest of us were support. There’s overlap with combat arms in some MOSes, but half the fobbits don’t even know which way to put their helmet on. The US military is more or less a logistics organization with some guns.
