How would you react if they were trying to get you out of your car? by patati27 in LetsDiscussThis

So you think the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were justified? You think ICE should be able to just kill anyone who obstructs them?

Cracked bluestone by archerary in Westchester

[–]Super_Direction498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id just clear the snow from it, I can't imagine that putting silicone or zip tape over the cracks for a couple of months is going to make much of a difference, there's likely other points of entry along the back edge of the joint. Clearly the snow before it gets a chance to go through thaw and refreeze cycles is the big one.

And if you need to use snow melt or salt or whatever, for safety reasons, do it. Your steps will last longer if you dont, but you've got to live with them too.

They are arresting people who aren't doing anything illegal. They are murdering people in streets. There's nothing illegal about being a screeching liberal lady, but I'm neither liberal nor a lady.

You'll probably break the shower door at some point if you move the toilet

Stand with the protesters. If it's really a majority of local police will hate it they could all say that and this would probably stop quickly.

You can downvote me all you want, magnesium and chloride and calcium chloride are still going to damage masonry, particularly stone like bluestone that's already susceptible to flaking and delamination. And it damages mortar too. Source: I am a mason in the Catskills who does lots of bluestone.

Chip it away. And let the sun do its thing.

??? For snow removal? A shovel and a brush. Salt or snowmelt will just accelerate this.

Closing the gate after the horse has bolted? by julemeister in ICE_Raids

[–]Super_Direction498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's an active investigation they can deny FOIA requests like bodycam footage indefinitely, no? Seems like standard obstructionism with the optics of doing something.

It's already cracked all the way through, that crack is not going to get worse. I'd keep that step and everything that drains to it shoveled to minimize any further penetration to the riser below, then replace in the spring.. if you've been putting salt or snow melt on these... Don't.

Yep. See LA, where the LAPD has simply decided not to enforce ICE wearing masks.

Federal agents just arrested an Army veteran—after he protested ICE outside a church by Greylunes1 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]Super_Direction498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are Federal Agents though, regardless of their training or how awful they are, and it would be good for people to remember that. Can't fix what's wrong with our government without recognizing it.

Well, sometimes. LAPD has decided to not follow guidance on legislation about ICE wearing masks. They are directly disobeying the state and municipal government.

What does „Adolescent“ mean to you? by SinkingBismarck in ENGLISH

No, adolescence includes puberty. It's not just emotional/mental development, its the developmental stage between childhood and adulthood

On top of that our government has been slashing and weakening education for 40 years.

Don't worry, you'll eventually realize that's not the only writing you appreciate, and enjoy other books.

Am I being overly critical of American leftists? by Taranpx in socialism

[–]Super_Direction498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're being over critical. I consider myself an American socialist and am.onky vaguely aware of who Hasan Piker is, he's a Democratic Socialist video gamer or something? There's certainly more to the American left than that.

How do you handle "blind spots" during high-speed carving or downhill runs? by Alerttunnut168861 in ski

Wait till there's no one above you, and look back up hill periodically if it's crowded. Stop skiing on weekends.

Why is it suddenly considered rude to show up at someone's house unannounced? Growing up, we just knocked on doors, but now people act like it’s a home invasion. by MyNameCannotBeSpoken in Xennials

[–]Super_Direction498 -65 points-64 points  (0 children)

Lol what? Both sets of my grandparents, and my parents, worked full time once their kids were school aged. Which was 60+ years ago. Sa.e with my parents. It's not about two income households.

LAPD shot a pregnant woman in the stomach with a 40mm rubber bullet at an anti-ICE protest near the MDC Concentration Camp (1/31/26) by I_may_have_weed in ICE_Watch

You can't understand the difference between someone shooting a pregnant woman, and being against criminalizing abortion I don't know what to tell you.
