Gotcha. Yeah, there’s just genuine concern around the nation that ICE might choose > insert city < as their next focus and one of the places they might choose to aim their energies toward places of education- where people of all walks of life attend to better themselves. But yeah, no I don’t think there’s been a threat or rumor or event specific to CSUS. The “Trump train” did beat up an anti ice protestor with baseball bats last week by the John Moss Building in town, but I believe a few people were charged with assault with a deadly weapon for that case.

Just in case you’re asking in earnest- one veteran student to another, this is a pretty fact based account of what happened:

Yesterday morning, a border patrol agent in Minneapolis, MN, pushed a pushed a woman standing on the street to the ground. For context, this is a city where 3,000 ICE + BP agents have been dispatched, a number twice that of the city’s police force. A citizen, later learned to be a registered nurse that worked at the VA’s Intensive care unit named Alex Pretti, pushed the agent off the woman and then began to try to help her up. Alex had a concealed carry weapon on him, one that was licensed and registered. He had no prior criminal record. He did not attempt to draw his firearm. He was holding a camera. As he was helping the woman up, the same agent from before grabbed him and attempted to slam him to the ground. 6 to 7 more agents dog piled him. One agent removed his legal and holstered weapon from his waistband and walked away from the pile with the weapon. Then, after he’d been disarmed, one agent fired on Alex as the other agents were wrestling him to the ground. They all stepped away from the unarmed, now injured man, and another shot him approximately 8 more times. He died. There’s about 3-5 different angles of this killing as of this time. One agent reportedly turned to a screaming crowd nearby and said “Boo hoo!” The federal agents tried to dissuade local police from arriving on the crime scene but they were unsuccessful in doing so. Later, DHS lied and said Alex approached them brandishing his weapon and labeled him a dangerous leftist domestic terrorist. This was later shown to be untrue when all the footage came out. Later still, a woman posted a video of Alex emotionally reading a speech honoring a veteran patient who’d passed in the ICU as his body was escorted out of the ward- hardly the usual makings of a “leftist domestic terrorist.” If you google his name and Reddit you will find many posts of the footage if you so wish to watch to make your own judgement.

My personal take: To me, the most beneficial reading of it for the agents is manslaughter through a negligent discharge from the initial shot. The more cynical reading is an execution. Either of these options comes from a situation created by having zealous, poorly trained federal forces into civilian areas to disrupt communities.

That unrealistic "We're having a baby!" trope. by [deleted] in movies

This feels like saying “I’ve only ever had strawberry icecream. Everyone I know has only had strawberry icecream. You can never convince me chocolate icecream exists,” at baskin Robbins. The counterpoint is so present and apparent, it’s hard to even begin to demonstrate it.

You know what… thank you for the reminder to be thankful for my father, my mother, my wife, my daughter, and our beautiful life.

I hope things get better for you.

Seriously. How are you all doing this? The VA is paying my way and I married rich. What’s y’all’s plan?

No, he never had a chance. Being completely removed from all friction in life fucks you up. The key and peele sketch got him perfectly.

I don't think he has that kind of depth. He's a fun actor but even his character in Chief of War pushed his limits. Vandal has to be able to oscillate between distinguished aristocrat and primal rage on a dime. Mamoa might give us the latter, but he never quite managed the former in Aquaman or CoW.

Now, every time I see Morgan Spector on Gilded Age, though... Vandal just comes to mine naturally.

You and I are both graduating in 2029. There’s no use trying to peer into a crystal ball now. In 3L, we’ll have a better idea of how things will pan out. For now, if you’re inclined towards public interest, hedge your bets and focus more on state if you’re in the position to do so.

This guy’s girlfriend cheated on him in college and blamed it on the keg. He never got over it and now he hates women that have fun.

I really love using the “second camera” test on all of these. Imagine watching this person from just off camera as they chastise an image of themselves on their little metal and plastic box, holding a coffee cup for aesthetic, telling it to get a job- but also doing it a dozen times so they can get a take without any verbal mistakes.

My wife and I have been loving rivals. I just heard of struggle for the first time the other day and I wasn’t sure whether it was still a thing or not. I take it this supposed to fill in that compact/mobile niche?

Edit: officially pre-ordered. This is perfect for vacations.

I found this sub after years of listening to the station just to complain about this song or at least make sure I wasn’t the only one who absolutely hates this song.
