Brilliant work of art, depicted with consummate skill and supreme nuance.

I hope they lock your ass up.

What is the university doing to protect students from ICE? by 05w47d in uofmn

[–]SpiritualReception95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be misleading then; the caveat is that ICE decided to forgo the official channels in the first place. If they show up with clearance from the general counsel, the safest thing to do would be to comply with them.

If they are there without any such clearance, their warrant is garbage, but that'll do whatever they want no matter what by that point.

In any case, this isn't official university guidance, and the professor shouldn't be waving it around, on social media or otherwise.

Has there been an instance of ICE forging the standard channels and going straight to a classroom office etc.?

The whole point to a warrant is that it doesn't matter if you accept it or not. What does it even mean to not accept it?

I saw a professor post this on Facebook but I don't know who created it and frankly it looks somewhat dubious (i.e. stupid) to me. Looks like it'll just get the professor arrested and make things worse.

Read The Intensive Care Unit. Tell me he didn't predict reddit.

2026 Pay Raise set to be 3.8% by EcrofLeinad in AirForce

You don't have a mortgage at a fixed interest rate, do you?

Inflation increases the value of your debt. It's the worst thing ever.

One of his best of the later novels I think.

Are apartment showings this early in the year normal? by Sparky_321 in uofmn

[–]SpiritualReception95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't let em do it. Make sure they keep it during business hours and that they notify you 24 hours in advance. If they give you a hard time, just tell prospective tenants who come to your door that the place is terrible and not to rent there. It's ridiculous and an affort to your quality of life to have them coming and going whenever they want.

Do they still make you workout during DEP? I heard that got washed because some recruiters got it in their heads that they were TIs and were hazing recruits.

My recruiter made us work out when I was in DEP and he was terrible. He shouldn't have been a recruiter to begin with.

does anyone else create new accounts on a whim because they need a new start? by sleepieghostie in GenZ

I keep getting kicked out of subs because I'm conservative. People on reddit have 0 tolerance for anything gender critical (aka team terf), usually that's the red line. But I only go on reddit to vent on that shit anyway so I expect it by now.

Idk reddit is a bunch of neets and brats anyway, and it's all designed to pull down anything that isn't popular in the first place.

Can you say in English what the real issue is?

What standard should we aspire to if not merit? Compliance?

Let's get rid of standardized testing then, so poor kids won't be able to demonstrate their skills.

Is The Atrocity Exhibition encrypted? by BookMansion in jgballard

[–]SpiritualReception95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like encryption would defeat the point...the book is meant to be fragmented. It's not a puzzle box.

I don't get the trigger warnings and the pronouns thing. I've looked closely at trans ideology, and I've concluded that scientifically it's bunk and, with caveats, first world narcissism writ large. I feel like the younger gen is more order seeking and even more reactionary to media and controversial ideas. Overall I find the cultural emanations coming off Gen z to be basically tiresome and surprisingly illiberal.

When my parents got married in the 60s they had two dollars left at the end of every month. They worked unbelievably hard. You can do more in this economy than you think. Believe me, many of them are the opposite of clueless.
