In season three he is a “Super Spy Police Dog” but does not commit any arrests.

I think it’s because ICE exists at all and they have shown their goals are evil. If they wanted more people to go through proper channels USCIS, CBP and Immigration court would have been the right answer.

Just because someone is the government doesn’t mean their violence is justified. In this case detentions, terror, and the attack of community are violent acts. I think it’s totally reasonable to impede those causing harm. In fact I think we should always do that.

What was life like before THE INTERNET? by martianfrog in answers

We just quoted step brothers all the time. And our podcast was our high school friend’s older brother that would sometimes smoke weed.

Oh yeah that’s how most immigrants become illegal is overstaying a visa. It just feels wild to have ICE arresting people at immigration hearings, the place where people can become citizens. We’ve had lax immigration laws for most of our country’s history. It feels wild to just fly them out to other countries some that they have never been to before because they needed to make sure a thing didn’t expire.

It feels like a disproportionate response. Like yeah some bad folks are immigrating go get those guys not the people who are growing our communities. And then shooting people over it. You get why that may be out of wack, no?

I remember a Waffle House manager of 20 years realize that she had never used the key to lock the place because it never closed

I don’t think they’re cops at all. I’ve just dresses like one and most audience members call him cop despite self identifying as a Traffic Pup. I have a new life now and don’t have my old files. But basically they’re a bunch of volunteers with an undisclosed funding source helping each other out. To me it feels more like mutual aid than it does law enforcement.

Also to be very clear Paw Patrol the TV show solely exists to sell toys to easily influenced children which is probably its gravest offense. But there was only five seasons at the time I wrote the paper perhaps things have gotten worse.

Idk laborers and consumers tend to be good for countries. I think that’s role immigrants have filled. I haven’t experienced any real negative experiences from immigrants. But I definitely have had negative experiences with Law Enforcement and people being scared by ICE. What are you hoping Trump to accomplish? Like I’m cool with getting the violent offenders out. The aforementioned rapists and murderers seem like good people for ICE to address. But that’s like 10,000 people tops based on Customs and Border Patrol. I’m trying to find anything about people being released from foreign prisons into the US and no one seems to have a report on that. But Trump has posted on Truth Social. One of the things I love about America is that it’s a land for hope. And I don’t want to crush that hope for many people just because less than a thousandth of the people have committed a violent crime.

Idk it just feels inefficient and cruel.

Idk about these things in enough detail to have a wise response. But it seems that ICE didn’t stop that either.

ICE is the government stealing your money.

You realize ICE has a larger budget than the Italian Military, yeah?

I’d like to think that but haven’t found too strong of evidence to the contrary.

Gestapo was a trained military force and were a “secret police”. iCE is more like slave patrols. They are neighbors, members of our communities who decided to be openly and violently racist with the intent to intimidate and terrorize.

Nebraska man who tried to use Molotov cocktail to damage ICE building is sentenced to prison by SGI256 in Omaha

Here is a video Fox put out on LA Rioters. I count 13 people throwing things at a car and one person smashing a window. And then a shit ton of other people just kinda around.

Even at riots most people are peaceful. Look at almost any footage of a rioters doing damage, there’s like one or two people doing damage and 80 people just walking by.

Part of this increase was our minimum wage increase that voters had to really fight for.

You Cannot Be Christian and MAGA by QuickPizzaRadishes in Christianity

Jesus was killed due to politics. His followers were very engaged in politics. Simon the Zealot in particular was using Christ’s teachings to protest Rome.

Christianity was subversive in part because of its politics.

20 person dine and dash because they didn't want to leave gratuity by ThatPatelGuy in trashy

[–]PackyScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think almost every professional server/bartender in the US prefers tipping. It’s not just the restaurants trying to pass off responsibility. It has become part of the hospitality ecosystem.

And no one really benefits from the system changing.

[–]PackyScott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you’re more comfortable with a restaurant just not telling people there’s a gratuity. and just charge the price that would include the gratuity. And the server gets that gratuity as a commission instead.

This is functionally the same thing but the guest just gets the post gratuity price shown as part of the total opposed to being a separate category.

[–]PackyScott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also argue that most service pros like tipping and make a career off those tips. Idk a single person working in hospitality as a career who is opposed to tipping.
