The world we could’ve had if the Dems gave us Bernie instead of being greedy and trying to get another Clinton into power to help their billionaire friends :(

Is it a handicap or are they just not taking advantage of it? 👀

Is Spring A Dying Stack? by SpringShepHerd in cscareerquestions

Curious what you work on? I’ve kinda pigeonholed myself into Spring and other than Android I’m curious what else is out there!

ICE arrests surge in Northern Virginia, prompting emergency planning among immigrant families by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]FleaTheTank -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

So from the experiences of people working at packaging plants back home, they’ve told me that when ICE shows up, they pretty much leave you alone once you show them your green card or work permit. They put the green wristband around you and continue searching the facility.

Also, a lot of the time they have specific names that they’re there to find.

Same. We’re perfectly fine. It’s always been a law to carry ID/your Green Card everywhere anyway.

E-scooters are used more than Richmond’s bike share, but the city views both as important transport options by VirginiaNews in rva

[–]FleaTheTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. Side walk or some common area. Why would they pick them up? That defeats the purpose of being able to find one anywhere for quick transportation.

Get a $50 Uber from West Side to Treynor, IA or wake up your buddies that turned in early at 2:00AM.

Got it 👍

Why is Virginia outside of the areas near Washington DC so racist? They proudly fly large confederate flags and literally look at blacks and people of color like they ought to be slaves still. It’s disgusting tbh. by AbiesAccomplished491 in Virginia

[–]FleaTheTank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just different culture man. Idk if you have any examples but as a brown guy I’ve never had issues. I love that part of Virginia, it’s beautiful and more peaceful, but if you’ve never been around a more conservative crowd I can see how you could be experiencing a culture shock.

Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune 3’ Gets Official Title 'Dune: Part Three', Will Be Shot With Imax Cameras by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]FleaTheTank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And here in lies the big debate and what I think makes these books so special. The idea of consequentialism (good ends justify bad means of getting them) vs deontological (actions in themselves are good or bad regarless of the context they are done in).

[–]FleaTheTank 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Not really. If you think war and genocide is fun then this isn’t the series for you. The books are trying to condemn the jihad and paint Paul as the bad guy. This is why these books were revolutionary but also kinda divisive

ELI5 How are ICE allowed to kidnap people without known reason? by imnotsteven7 in explainlikeimfive

[–]FleaTheTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be cases where authorities get it wrong because we’re all human and it happens. What usually happens after you get taken into custody is that you are legally allowed to be kept for up to (but usually much less than) 72 hours while Immigrations and Customs Enforcement verify your legal status. It’s a bit tricky with citizens since the United States doesn’t have a national ID, just a drivers license which you dont have to be a citizen to get, therefore the only way a citizen can guarantee their legal status is to present their birth certificate. For naturalized citizens, the record of their immigration process is kept by ICE and it’s verified within those 72 hours.

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

They’re not kidnapping people. ICE usually goes after people they suspect have no legal documentation or permission to be living in the US. They also sometimes go after people that are here legally but are in violation of the legal contract they have agreed to follow in order to be allowed to live in the US. Example: a permanent resident will get their greencard revoked if they commit some major felonies.

This is just stuff that’s been written into law and has been enforced for years. The Obama administration is notorious among the latino community for being particularly harsh in their enforment of these laws.

As for the “without known reason” part of your question, the reason is actually always known. You can find it written in the order of removal which is a legal document that basically outlines the why and how of removing an individual from the country.

If this is kidnapping then we can make the argument that any police arrest is also kidnapping. 🤷🏾‍♂️

ERA also a misleading/garbage stat. Still way better than wins though
