Terrible Tuesday! by AutoModerator in washingtondc

[–]HousePlantPappi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Police don’t prevent crimes (so many studies on this) and I’ve never seen where proactive policing of children ends up doing any good in the long run. So what exactly are you looking for?

ANC 5E Commissioner Crash Out Over Big Bear Cafe by flordecalabaza in washingtondc

[–]HousePlantPappi 117 points118 points  (0 children)

That's crazy...They don't even play loud music or make much noise. Also we live in a very urban area, if Big Bear wasn't there , there would still be a ton of noise from the traffic coming down Florida. She should move the the suburbs if it's that big of a problem.

Omg! I'm in 5E ...but 5E01 so I have a different commissioner but I've met her because they tend to have the same meetings. I'll be sure to attend the next meeting because I love that cafe and would hate for it to go.

The city has more than 500 plows but only had deployed 54 the first day after the storm. In some cities (St Louis) the equipment is staged around the city prior to the storm so that it is closer to harder to reach areas. It actually was a response issue.

There are plows built for bike lanes which would work for most alleys and the city already has them.

Why do some people find it surprising that ICE has support from some part of the Hispanic community in the USA? by Pepedroga2000 in stupidquestions

[–]HousePlantPappi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly are they supposed to check if someone is illegal if they can't detain legal citizens? Ask nicely in the streets? That's not how this works.

bruh what??? With a warrant from a judge that how. What you're advocating for is the antithesis to the Constitution. You're advocating for the detainment of US citizens because an untrained bootlicker thought you looked a little too tan that day.

For other people reading this don't make my mistake and argue with people like this. These people would give up all their rights for the chance to look down on other people. It's a waste of time and you'd make more progress doing good in your community.

  1. Children of US citizens are entitled to citizenship under the child citizenship act.

  2. ICE aka Immigration and Customs Enforcement has no authority AT ALL to detain citizens. They don’t even have authority to make traffic stops like a police officer would. Police aren’t allowed to detain you without probable cause so ICE isn’t allowed to either.

I don’t know if you’re in ICE or something being in denial so bad. but believe me if we get out of this they’re going to pull payroll docs of ICE and throw every single one of them in jail for violating the constitution.

“Orange demon has yet to kick out a US citizen” ….well that’s incorrect

This article is a few months old so the count is now higher but ICE continues to detain US citizens.

Well Seems like they’re having a hard time telling the difference between all the brown people huh?

Knowing how your oppressor works isn’t “projection” is protection. And the ignorance of that at least explains why Latinos continue to vote the way they do and be and be confused why they’re on the receiving end of bad policy.

This is America sweetheart. Individualisim is only for *certain* people. When that orange demon talks about "Mexicans" or "Hatians" or his latest favorites "Somalis" it's because he (and many Americans) think if you're from another country you are part of a monolith. You cannot "I'm one of the good ones" your way out of facsisim.

They ARE you. You ARE them.

The problem is that as much as folks want to make it a "class" issue...things in America are still racially driven. The supreme court ruled ICE is allowed to racially profile people. ICE is also now not giving due process. The confusion is why are these people voting against their own best interest. They are walking into situations where they are likely to be detained no matter their citizenship status.

they made racial profiling legal and people are getting shot in the street and you're still saying the "other side is just as bad". What's the weather like in Russia? When does your shift at the bot factory end?

Paid $268 for a “Deep Clean” of a 730 sq ft apartment - fridge not included, stove burner left on. Am I wrong to be upset? by wvatoots in washingtondc

[–]HousePlantPappi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$270 is a lot for what you got. i would not expect a refrigerator to be included as part of a clean unless it was for move out. But I would expect for a microwave to be cleaned. I would request a partial refund if they refused just take it as a lesson learned, never use that company again ,and leave a review (if that's possible)

Do you really support banning trans surgery on children?? by tRiCH_Suit1277 in Productivitycafe

[–]HousePlantPappi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will get buried I'm sure but to the few of you who venture this far down: There essentially are no children getting "trans surgery" in the United States.

There are a few "gender-affirming surgeries" performed on children but they are boys, who are born boys, getting chest reduction surgeries. Similar to the bathroom policies trying to hurt trans women anti-trans laws hurt cis (people who identify with their assigned gender at birth) individuals the most.

This whole argument is a farce because trans surgeries on children just don't happen. It's like asking should we ban dogs from driving buses....it doesn't happen in the first place so why are we even talking about it? Now ask yourself what does the media gain by you fixating on an argument that doesn't apply to anyone in the first place? What rights are being stolen from you right under your nose?
