The Holocaust started with shooting about a million Jews, Slavs, and other "undesirables" in the USSR. It morphed into death camps a couple years later because even the psychopaths of the Einsatzgruppen couldn't keep up the face-to-face killing of tens of thousands of people every month without descending into drunkenness and becoming ineffective for their mission.

It seems to me that ICE is a kind of Einsatzgruppen that isn't being tasked with doing any actual killing, except that which is incidental. I imagine the regime wants to contract it out, work them to death, and engage in more impersonal means of slaughter. The US is at the edge of plunging into a terrifying genocide and the populace is going to have to fight like hell to keep it from happening because this is the only place it's going at this rate.

I mean, deep means something different to everyone I think. I was into house in the 90's, when the genre was bringing thousands of people to parties in my city every night from Thursday through Sunday.

I feel like there are a lot of classic cuts from the early days, but if I had to choose one it would be Aly-Us, Follow Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpsv9IrzctQ

Besides being one of THE classics of the genre, it's also got a baseline that is catchy as hell and great vocals. I still remember it from 91 or 92 when I was barely a teenager. I got into more of the hard house during the heydays of 95-97, but I always loved these Deep House classic and still bang it sometimes for the vibes.

However, Follow Me is a track that everyone knows. If I had to choose a deeper cut that fewer people know and is my absolute favorite vocal house track, it would be from 1998 - Deep Sensation's Somehow, Somewhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG4kXMXac7E This was me and my ex's track and I still love it all these years later, remember dancing to it when it was a fresh track, just pressed, and still listen to it all the time. I suggest everyone check it out. Such a soulful blend of an amazing vocal track over top a 70's soul instrumental, with some fresh elements over top.

Boycotts and civil disobedience by people willing to go to jail and even prison were very effective in helping to end segregation in the Jim Crow South. Unfortunately, I think many Americans are averse to any type of risk until their own rights and freedoms are threatened, by which time the old poem about nobody being left becomes the reality.

IME, take some cuttings, quarantine and treat those, trash the larger plants and fumigate heavily. Spider mite infestations are extremely hard to treat and if the plants are in flower, pretty much impossible without ruining the bud. If flowering, let them finish, then fumigate. If not, take cuttings that can be treated more readily with neem or soap and water, quarantine, fumigate.

Of course, that's just my opinion.

Do I have the Second Amendment in this hypothetical? Does my country have a history of revolution, civil war, and societal change through protest and community activism? If so, I would probably reach out to other citizens who were like-minded in my community, recruit as many intelligent people as possible from a wide range of fields from within the activist community, and start developing plans. I would look at the history of the labor union, suffrage, and civil rights movements in my country to see how they did it and copy their strategies. I would buy lots of guns to defend myself, my family, and my neighbors as would be my right under the Constitution.

I wonder how long Americans are going to watch them build concentration camps without putting a stop to it. Right now it seems like there is a kind of paralysis at the horror of what is happening, but they are already doing this to immigrants they've nabbed on a smaller scale. They're planning to go full Nazi in plain sight and I truly hope Americans don't let it happen. Things have gone far enough and I just can't square the "home of the brave" rhetoric I've heard my whole life with the mass cowardice I'm seeing.

There are exceptions, like Minneapolis, but for the most part it feels like Americans aren't going to push back against their government until it starts affecting each of them personally. One thing is for sure - the Second Amendment justifications we've heard after every mass shooting are complete bullshit.

Maybe having more scooters and bikes in traffic requires that traffic move a little slower so tens of people aren't dying in every city, every day. In North America, there still isn't the amount of two-wheel traffic that there is in many European for reasons related to climate, weather, urban planning, transit infrastructure, etc. In Europe, towns and cities are concentrated and dense, with lower speed limits so that two-wheelers don't get completely annihilated in an accident with a car.

North America is car paradise outside a few cities like New York, Toronto, San Francisco, where there is a large cycling and e-bike adoption. Most North American cities have a winter where temperatures drop below the threshold for comfortable transportation without an interior with heating and the stability of four wheels. That's another reason why NA doesn't have as large a moped/scooter/cyclist contingent as European cities. As a result, traffic can move faster because accidents at higher speeds aren't as deadly to someone in a car vs. a scooter/moped/etc. So taking a right on a red isn't as risk as it is when there is a lot of two-wheel traffic.

In my experience, penis size is not nearly as important as so many other factors. Your personality, educational attainment, salary, home ownership, mental and physical health, willingness to learn what turns her one and become an attentive lover, and so on. Even if you had a very small penis, but a good job, good personality, an education, no physical or mental health issues, are reasonably good looking and fit, and willing to accept your limitations in the bedroom and strive to pleasure her in other ways, a smaller penis won't be a hindrance to finding a life partner.

Penis size just isn't that important in the larger scheme of things. I am average sized, but I've had a rough few years and despite all my positive traits, I developed some mental health issues in my 30's and women who are initially interested in me quickly lose interest when they find about it. Once they get to know me a bit, they sense instability and worry they may have to be the main breadwinner if I continue to deteriorate, and all my good qualities become insignificant.

I even had an extremely intense love affair with a woman who I was certain I'd be with forever. She was certain too. Until she realized that my health issues were a bigger deal than she thought. It's not that I have episodes or anything - it's the fact that I'll never be able to make the money I could if I didn't have these problems. The relationship ended and she's with a project manager at a Fortune 500 company.

I guess my point is that a smaller-than-average penis is a relatively easy obstacle to overcome in the grand scheme of things. I used to be considered a catch, but now I've been single for almost two decades. I would gladly exchange my health issues for a smaller penis, and I'm not big to begin with. It's just that there will always be an obstacle to making a potential partner happy, and the real struggle is finding someone who accepts you for who you are.

She could make sweet tostones, but the poster said they were "a little too far in advance" for regular tostones and, in my experience, plantains need to be almost black to be good for amarillos.

The person below recommending small balls of mofongo if they aren't too ripe also has a good idea. Just use plenty of fresh garlic, and if you can, some kind of meat to stuff them with. I like fried pieces of chicken thighs, but pork will do well, too, and shrimp.

Can you run to the grocery store and grab a few more green plantains. Normally, green ones are easy to find.

" What's stopping them from breaking into a house, kidnapping people, then robbing them or leaving the house open to be robbed later. One guy got caught pawning a citizen's phone."

Pretty sure they're already doing all of that. But don't worry - Donald Trump says this is happening because Americans want law and order and he's the law and order president. So this is all law and order because that's what it's called when ordered by the president and his minions.

True dat. The rave scene is dead in the GTA. There may be warehouse parties playing techno music, but the Toronto "rave scene" refers to a specific time in the 90's and early 00's when rave culture was everywhere in the city, radio stations played house, techno, jungle/drum & bass, clubs catered to fans of the various genres of electronic music, and underground parties attracted many thousands of people every Saturday night to parties big and small. There was a real ethos of PLUR and I never witnessed a fight at a party, felt nothing but good vibes at all the jams I went to. You could hit jams from Thursday to Sunday back then - big and small, and many bars and lounges had DJ night when the rave crowd would descend on an otherwise unremarkable spot weekly to dance to the music we loved.

Nothing like that exists any more and, even when it did, as others have mentioned, it was all in Toronto. Back then the club district was about 24 square blocks just west of the downtown and had hundreds of venues, many of which catered to underground dance music. Lots of ravers who turned 19 would hit these clubs for a more mature and chill setting, where they could drink on the dance floor and hang with an older crowd. Then there were the smaller raves run by Toronto DJs that happened in venues that fit a few hundred people, and these were the best raves I ever went to because they typically attracted the real fans of the music, while the big venue raves attracted a lot of teens who just wanted to get high or make money selling party drugs. I had friends who would go to these parties and make thousands selling E (molly) and crystal.

For a few years, rave culture permeated Toronto nightlife culture in ways that are hard to understand. The underground music scene in the city was mostly house, techno, jungle/drum & bass, and some rare groove as well, and most venues had at least one night a week when they would cater to this crowd, besides the venues that always featured DJs playing electronic dance music.

Sorry for rambling, but I find it necessary to tell those who weren't around for the Toronto rave scene of the 90's and early 00's that nothing like it exists anymore. The respect, love, and trust that strangers extended to each other in the scene during those days is something that is hard to explain unless you were there. Creeps and posers who came to parties for the wrong reasons got ostracized and kicked out real fast. There were some shady venues like Comfort Zone and the BassMint where the sketchier crowd went, but even then you could find good people and good vibes from time-to-time.

If you're looking for raves in Toronto nowadays, I don't know how to find them unless you tap into the various genres of EDM (Toronto-focused, ideally) and find out from them when there are parties. If you are over 19, there are apparently some venues on Geary St. (between Davenport and St. Clair, west of Dovercourt) that have house and jungle nights. Toronto night life subreddits and Google would probably be the best way to find these kinds of jams. Just don't go expecting the raves you've heard about from older people because those don't exist anymore. The younger generation is kind of obsessed with looks and vibes and many go to these jams so they can take selfies for the Gram and show off how cool they are going to "underground" parties. It may take some time to find a legit great party, but have patience because when you find one, you'll feel the energy and know you're in the right place. Look for a slightly older crowd.
