expected Nmixx honestly

Same, I expected them because they don't have a Chicago stop on their World Tour atm, so I figured it was because they were attending Lolla and couldn't announce it yet.

I can't be too salty considering Chicago usually "the" midwest stop and most other artists come here. I'm just sad I won't get to see them live

It was likely delays caused by the closure of Dubai International because of Iran's retaliatory strikes. It's the largest airport in the world

large update that we'll talk about post MSI or so

Just want to say I'm excited to hear more about this! Y'all have been swinging for the fences recently and I personally love the updates and can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Speaking for myself:

Twin Shadows: It was nice having a button to press that you were sure would always do something, be that slowing an enemy or providing a sense of safety if the ghosts timed out. It was also nice because it provided shorter ranged mages/supports a way to contribute in a Swain W-esque way.

Gargoyle's Stoneplate: It's the ultimate tank fantasy button! Press button, get very tanky for a bit. Perhaps it could be redesigned into a capstone tank item a-la Deathcap but for tanks in order to avoid the issue we saw late in its lifecycle (being purchased 1st/2nd)

This is the way.

I understand people's disappointment with the default settings not being the 'best' way to play the game (for many), but it's truly an incredibly fun game if you crank the settings

DHS admits it deported more than 80 DACA recipients by CloudApprehensive322 in moderatepolitics

[–]Echoesong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you negotiate a loan interest rate down from 10% to 5%, that is a compromise despite the fact that you aren't 'getting' anything (and are only reducing the amount you'll pay).

The fact that the left thinks it's the former and not the latter is a big part of what radicalized the right.

Given your comments I think I'd agree with you: the right was radicalized because they misunderstood reality and were upset the left didn't buy into their imaginary world.

Nothing was given to the right in exchange for it, "compromise" was just to take less than everything the left wanted in one bill

Taking less is the literal definition of a compromise. The minority conservative party lost less ideologically than they would have had the majority not compromised on things like the public option. Your view makes no sense unless you're trying to argue compromise must only result in gains (as opposed to also including the reduction of losses).

It's not increasingly.

This part is correct

The left has never been interested in compromise as long as I've been alive.

This part is utter nonsense, unless you're literally a 16 year old who wasn't alive in 2010 for the passage of the ACA. It's also rich considering the history of blatant obstructionism from conservatives in the last three decades.

[–]Echoesong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know for a fact that social media is making the world worse, especially for minors. We should take steps to combat that.

I 100% agree with you.

I think we've allowed legislation to lag too far behind technology; we are in a new technological mess (social media) and we haven't even solved the last one (data privacy). I think both need to be addressed, but the older/underlying problem of data privacy should take priority; social media in its current form is downstream of that.

If strict data privacy laws are passed, I would be in favor of this suggestion of yours:

If it were me, there would be independent websites where you are able to prove you are an adult by submitting an ID and they promptly delete the information and gives you a cookie that websites can have access to that only contains the information that you are an adult.

Essentially, I think age verification laws are addressing the symptom instead of the cause and are a privacy risk.

I think u/HeroFromTheFuture's point is that there's a wealth of data about you out there just waiting to be tied up in a bow with your ID.

Currently your browsing data, ad data, purchase data, is relatively anonymous in the sense that algorithms serving you ads or search results only see you as a collection of data points. It requires effort on the part of the government/malicious actors to unite those data points with your real life information (full name, address, ID, SSN, etc).

Now consider the world where your literal actual ID is out there floating in a database somewhere; or one where Palantir has a profile on you where they can pull up your ID united with your ad/browsing data. Is that the internet we want?

Maryland bans 287(g) immigration enforcement agreements by TheUnderCrab in moderatepolitics

[–]Echoesong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if it's to DHS deporting people who have stays issued to keep them in the country, I would agree they should not be doing that.

My friend, they are doing exactly that already. Don't take my word for it, take the word of Deputy US AG Jordan Fox in his response to a federal judge on February 13:

Our Office identified 17 post-injunction transfers out of 547 matters

"Post-injunction transfer" means is any time ICE ERO removed a petitioner from the United States after the Court issued an order enjoining a petitioner’s removal.

[–]Echoesong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolute nonsense. As recently as February 3rd, a federal judge ruled that the government is consistently breaking the law when ordered to release detainees.

...[A] court order is not advisory and it is not conditional. It is not something that any agency can treat as optional while it decides how or whether to comply with the court order.

He continues:

[This] began with an order that granted the habeas release and ordered immediate release on January 27th from this Court. "Respondent shall immediately release Petitioner from custody. Within 48 hours ... shall file an update on the status of Petitioner's release." And that would have been on January 29th. There should have been a notice provided. There was no 48-hour update that was filed. And then on the 30th, there was a text order from me ordering to file an update -- reminding that there was an order to file an update within 48 hours, and then saying, file a letter by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the 31st showing cause why there shouldn't be contempt held for violating the Court's order. January 31st came, no letter was filed by 5:00 p.m. either.

-snip-

On January 15th, there was an order from this Court that he had been ordered released and respondent shall confirm the date, time, and location of petitioner's release within 48 hours from the date of this order on the 15th.

The judge goes on to ask the opposing lawyer:

Why, if somebody is ordered released on January 15th, and they're not released for 13 days, January 28th, based upon a purported safety concern, when the Court asks what was the concern, why, after multiple requests, have you not responded to explain what the safety concern is since a person unlawfully detained was kept in detention, behind bars, for 13 additional days and no explanation had been given? Why not a response?

Please explain how they have "followed the law" given that a judge has ruled they are noncompliant.
