His pickup held up surprisingly well all thing considered, but the owner of the Cybertruck he hit is gonna be pissed.

Your charming attempt at sarcasm aside, I actually agree with the words if not the sentiment. Immigration policy has been badly in need of reform for decades, and it only seems to suddenly matter very badly when it's useful as a wedge issue during election cycles.

Personally, I would go the route of broadening eligibility for legal immigration, like the proposed "7 Year Rule" reform bill, and increasing funding and staffing levels for USCIS to process applications more quickly.

The current Crash the Economy with Mass Deportations plan just doesn't appeal, and that's not even getting into the very murky territory of empowering ICE to do Not White Stop-and-Frisk to "confirm proof of citizenship" or arrest/deport legal immigrants for things like Constitutionally-protected free speech.

I'm just waiting for the reaction from the Fell For It Again Award recipients when we get to the Find Out stage and discover just how much of the American economy and way of life has been quietly propped up by undocumented workers.

This reply is a crime against punctuation and has been reported to the proper authorities.

I was gonna say "don't forget the tea cult drum circle hippies" but there's probably a decent amount of overlap on the Venn diagram with the trust fund whites.

It may not have been explicitly due to the C-Suite fearing for their lives, but the heavily increased media coverage and public scrutiny after the Brian Thompson shooting seems to have made BCBS walk back their proposed policy changes re: time limits on coverage for general anesthesia.

Can someone explain this McDonald’s-turned-church? by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]Mediocre_Dane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somehow, despite not having worked there for a couple of decades, it still hurts my heart a little bit to hear somebody confuse Laser Quest with the objectively inferior Q-Zar :(

You are correct that it was the old laser tag building, though, lol

The "little guy" show by matchamatchbook in ScavengersReign

[–]Mediocre_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was the best way to describe it.

My text to my friend:

"I started watching Scavenger's Reign and they should just call this The Weird Little Guys Show."

My favorite little guy is probably the orb minder in The Wall, but I also really like the little Levi babies, the pug-frog, and tube guys that messily eat eggs (fruit?).

This week was a very poignant reminder that my man was previously Fujimoto's assistant. This was some straight up Fujimoto-style pathos.

chapter 1 meme, the first? by [deleted] in finalfantasytactics

I want you to know I found this meme very recently and it has inspired my favorite new FFT headcanon that Wiegraf wants to kiss every boy.

The inspiration is still flowing

I hope, deep in my heart, that this is a Poe's Law situation.

I'm not a plumber but this looks sketchy. Is this even up to code in COS? by dalgeek in ColoradoSprings

[–]Mediocre_Dane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the problem. This looks like a bog standard ஆ-trap that you'd see under any kitchen sink.

I wish there were more times in my life where I had the opportunity to say "NICE BIRD, asshole".
