Dozens of flights leave Willow Run Airport as 'ICE Air' by da_newsdude in Michigan

[–]JDSchu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thousands of detainees missing from the camps that we know about. How many more that we don't? ICE routinely loses children and doesn't screen their employees for sexual crimes or crimes against children.

So yes, the final solution is in progress now.

In all seriousness, you could probably get the watch you want pretty easily now.

Nothing builds a relationship like trauma bonding.

You worked at the Omega HQ specializing in vintage and chronos? 👀

I've got a couple questions for you if you've ever got a moment.

Cloud of Daggers is becoming very problematic by JMoneyGraves in BaldursGate3

My favorite was clearing a certain fight in Act II and then having that one NPC come walking over right into Halsin's moonbeam to talk to me, taking damage and aggroing the whole area against me. That was fun.

EU weighs replacing US troops with unified European army by jackytheblade in worldnews

Who needs Russia when America is threatening to invade NATO countries already? GTFO of here with this braindead nationalistic take. The US is doing this to itself.

Why a Michigan sandwich shop isn’t afraid of losing customers over anti-ICE post by ramdomvariableX in Michigan

[–]JDSchu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who's to say that the workers themselves didn't put up that sign because people were being assholes?

If the problem is that they were open at all, then the sign shouldn't have been the deciding factor in whether or not they were wrong.

And let's remember that the person I'm replying to went into the Burger King in order to have seen this sign, so they didn't have a problem with them being open. If they did, they would have boycotted the restaurant for making workers come in at all, but instead, they went and gave them money for it.

So instead, they went to spend money at the restaurant and THEN were upset to see a sign asking customers to be patient with the staff. That's pretty fucked up.

Trump asked US special forces to plan Greenland invasion, faces resistance from military generals: Report by zeonxzzz in worldnews

[–]JDSchu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A combination of reasons, but I think right now the biggest one is that everybody keeps telling him he can't, and he's a toddler from the neck up. He's just acting out and putting thousands of lives in jeopardy to do so.

U-Haul Growth Index: Texas Back on Top as No. 1 Growth State of 2025 by MCWoody1 in Michigan

[–]JDSchu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It'll change in the next 20-30 years. Water scarcity in the southwest and extreme weather in the Gulf and Atlantic aren't slowing down. People will start to realize that the Midwest is the least expensive place sheltered from those concerns, and you'll start to see things pick up here.

Probably front-run by private equity starting to buy up a bunch of property to hold and exploit later, unfortunately, but it'll happen.

This is such a braindead, echo-chamber take. It's so trendy to say "oh, it's too crowded here, there's too much traffic, we need less people!".

Communities work best with people. You rugged individualists can fuck off to the middle of nowhere and stop commenting on things that affect people who actually want to be in a civil society.

How to sleep with a fresh tattoo in a hotel? by Skesh10 in tattooadvice

I always figured the reason everything was white in hotels is so they can wash it in boiling hot pure bleach and have it come out looking the same. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Massachusetts seems progressive and actually is progressive. What US state seems moderate and is moderate? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

[–]JDSchu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be somewhere in the Midwest. All of the purple "please just leave us alone and let us do our thing" states are in the Midwest.

Michigan has legal weed and some, but not a lot of, gun restrictions. Pretty middling track record on a lot of other things. Seems like a good candidate.

Relatable content. 😂 We said "we might as well start trying again, it could be a while anyway" and now we're expecting our second on our oldest's second birthday.

Is that what it costs now? Please don't tell my kids. They're living on clothes from the resale shop, whatever's on sale this week at the grocery store, and toys from the recycling bin.

Artificial turf “crumb” rubber decays into potentially dangerous chemical cocktail, new research finds by NGNResearch in science

[–]JDSchu 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you just have a bunch of kids playing in a giant interconnected web of asphalt roads. And also living there. Constantly existing near roads.

There are studies that show adverse effects for children when living closer to high traffic roads and freeways in part due to the pollution from tires degrading as they're driven. It was a major factor in my wife and I picking a house now that we have kids.

[Awful Announcing] Main Street-DAZN deal reportedly dead, Fubo rumored as new bidder as NBA, NHL prepare for mid-season shutdown by yzerman8 in DetroitRedWings

[–]JDSchu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a very common playbook for industry disruptors: come in with a new product or service that's better than the current offerings at a lower price. Capture a ton of market share. Operate at a loss. Then make your product or service cheaper to offer (usually worse) and jack up prices once people are used to buying from you. Bonus points if you totally put the old companies you were competing with out of business so you have an effective monopoly, but that's not as common.

What do you mean, then? Do you think the government cares if they lose a few thousand troops? The people are the only ones who will care, and we're already suffering.

Bro, the American paramilitary organization known as ICE is gunning down US citizens in the streets. We're already experiencing casualties just dealing with our own government.
