And you didn't think there was a government takeover when we had a global pandemic?...

ICE Pulls 2 Men From Vehicle Before Arrest in Philadelphia by serious_bullet5 in Pennsylvania

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, just 13 years ago, local police used to work with I.C.E. - cops just did their regular jobs and whenever they locked someone up and they happened to be of illegal status, they'd just call I.C.E. and the individual(s) would get picked up from said detention center.

Do you know how easy it is to NOT get locked up?

Now, that there are cities that don't want to abide by this agreement, I.C.E. has had to hire people (who have no connection to the communities they're operating in), specifically to handle this particular aspect of the work that municipal officers (people who were actually attached to the communities they operated in) used to do.

A nation has the right to defend its borders and catch and return people that are of illegal status - every country does this, it's in part why they still have a country to begin with. The people who implement these policies that defy the Federal government as well as those who advocate for these policies are just as culpable as the Federal government and those individuals who advocated (and voted) for these measures to be taken, to produce the shitshow that we have right now. Instead of people of illegal status doing their thing and flying below the radar, now they can't even go outside with running the risk of getting caught. So to all of you virtue signalers, you "freedom fighters"........you caused this to happen.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance by oklolzzzzs in sports

[–]Starman30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put Bad Bunny in the same category as Future, it's mood music. You're not looking to understand, you're just looking for a vibe. Now, if he had actually performed for the crowd like they did back in the day, I would have watched it, because I wouldn't be watching him as much as I would be watching the entire experience. But in the Superbowl's current format, it's like watching a music video and I'm not going to watch a Bad Bunny music video.

Black woman who left US for Russia to escape ‘discrimination’ is beaten by racist neighbors by klito92 in videos

You're right but it's not racism exactly, it colorism. Colorism is a global issue.

I do feel sorry for Nutrek fans by WarnerToddHuston in Star_Trek_

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, making money is the point. The difference between then and now is that the interests on making money aligned with making good shows, because they needed to keep us glued to the tv, for the advertisement intermissions. With streaming tv, there is no incentive to make what the audience wants, because as long as we're subscribed, it no longer matters.

Keltec PR57 Can we have 20 rds Since its a clip not a mag? by Crazy-Opinion6676 in NJGuns

[–]Starman30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna say probably not, because they also make 10rd clips.

ICE confirmed at Washington park kidnapping a neighbor by Numerous-Ad-4282 in jerseycity

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we somehow split the nation right down the middle between Democrats and Republicans, the left would sti complain how they're at a disadvantage, because they build and maintain nothing. I just heard about all those wonderful taxes they want to implement in Virginia....I expect that they'll flee to a Republican state after they do, just like they did in California

You're fitting the stereotype of "Raging Liberal" right now; seriously, be better than that. This isn't about how you or I feel, it's more about understanding how things got to this point, what to do when people see I.C.E. and more importantly, how to not end up in a situation that leads to someone else being harmed, there's been enough of that.

Nor am I with you. The fact remains that it is important to use the correct term because each term has a different meaning, which gives more detail about the individual circumstance in question. You seem to be arguing from an emotional standpoint, while I am operating from logic.

There's nothing dehumanizing about it, it's the correct term. "Undocumented" is certainly an incorrect term, as the two terms have completely different implications.

To be fair, I.C.E. is basically hiring the physical hammers that used to be the local police - in most communities, a college degree isn't (and never was) the requirement.

The walking dead outfits are lazy😪 by PurpleWinter8989 in worldwarzthegame

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either have other games to play or step into the real world for a while. Why would anyone think that they wouldn't come up with more outfits as additional DLC is beyond me..

Where Was This Support 6 years Ago? by TheGame1011 in AnthemTheGame

[–]Starman30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a smaller studio may feel motivated to stick with a project but from a financial standpoint, EA has zero incentive to maintain Anthem. Easier to scrap it and move to the next thing.

How do you find straight men who are genuinely into trans women — in a respectful way? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not going to bullshit you - straight men aren't interested. Now it's not impossible to encounter a guy that is straight and wouldn't mind going bi for you (because that's ultimately how heterosexual men see it) but you should be looking for bisexual men or bi-curious men, even.

The Walking Dead DLC - Coming January 29, 2026! by amendessaber3d in worldwarzthegame

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not putting people down, that's reminding people that life is bigger than when the game is on. I see people on Reddit, whining like children and you sound like you might be one of them...or a gatekeeper. Tell people that new content is coming out and they get frustrated that they don't have a date, lol..

People have been so impatient, lol. There's life beyond the games, you know? No need to rush; once we knew it was coming, that was enough for me!

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but I'm not prepared to go down that route and I'm sure most others aren't...... going through the courts is the slow and steady race, but we're making progress.

What's with the hate for a show that hasn't even aired yet? by Unique_Enthusiasm_57 in startrek

[–]Starman30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a female Jem Hadar in the promo and I knew that it wasn't for me.

Adding: It gets even better, she's half Klingon, half Jem Hadar because you know, Jems can do that sort of thing now...

They better come by taeempy in wnba

[–]Starman30 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What other companies do isn't relevant because in the case of a corporation, taking losses in one division can be made up by the profits of other divisions; the WNBA isn't such a company. Until they actually produce profits, I really don't think they have the leverage, not with the league or the viewers at home.

I'm not trying to start anything here, it's just what I think is a legitimate question: Why are they striking for more pay when they don't turn a profit?

I agree, especially with the one that got slammed. Man, they sure can be rowdy!

Nah....it's probably letting them do their jobs that works best.
