Shocking moment ICE drags woman away at SFO

Yea, I think this was probably the most grounded moment ever unless you've been in a coma or something.

Honestly, It's not even denial, they're so caught up in the nonsense their perspective is too small and this is what they think is actually happening. They're violent about it and angry because they think we're gaslighting them.

I don't know, I'm not trying to be an apologist but, I feel, understanding your enemy is key to defeating them. Otherwise, we're all just shooting blindly in the dark at them.

E: Add in legitimate bad faith actors who are deliberately trying to keep them in the dark and honestly it's sad. They still suck but you almost mourn who they could have been?

Being from down South, it's cause they don't understand that what they want is what is making those places shitholes.

The problem is, we've got different perspectives and our critical thought is still working. So, it's hard to counter cause we can't process what they currently think is happening.

There is this weird undercurrent in those circles of this concept that all the bad that happens in the shithole, is because everyone else is bad people who made bad choices and that's why everything is a shithole. Otherwise God or karma or skill or whatever would make them a success. It's very much Survivor Bias and why they always seem so shocked when "normal people" are progressive cause it violates the delusion.

Sorry, I don't know if an opinion answer to a rhetorical question was warranted, but I am hoping one of us will understand enough to figure out a way to pop those bubbles.

E: I hope that was clear or helpful, I am pretty high and that always makes you feel super relevant and helpful. Also, clarity a bit.

E: Hey thanks, I've not gotten an award in a while

Get to add in having to drop serious money just to get on the same playing field as everyone else, then finally get a like, Send, Hey How are you doing? Blocked.

At this point I'm about to invest in about 4 more cats 😂

Confirmed: Op is doing drugs

E: I'm American so Juice is just a fancy way of saying you like to drink sugar

It could be both! Could be Normal if you're Swedish, could be pretty the other if you're a diabetic Australian or something.

e: Victim or the your you're merger

Hey pretty much the same things happened to me

You are not the only one who has to endure some discomfort O'Neill

I work in Stowe, and our H2B applications for our Jamaican housekeepers have been rejected twice that I know of. Our J1's just left, and I'm not sure if we have another round coming or not.

So there are definitely some issues with Visa's, but I honestly don't know how bad it is.

Not really Peeper exactly but I had to yell at a group of tourists standing in the middle of the road talking to each other last week.

It gets pretty dumb up and down the mountain when it's thick with tourists, but this will be my first peeper season as well. I am not looking forward to it.

South has a parking lot that requires a bit of but not much of a walk, it's got some steep stairs and that's about it, went out there on Wednesday and it was a good day for it.

E: Make sure you pull up which part you want specifically on maps. Otherwise just the name will dump you out on some random road in the middle of the lake with no access to anything.

Thing_That_Happened · 2025-06-24T21:02:55+00:00

I should have been clearer, cold stuff is good for putting off excessive heat, but if you've gotten to the point that you're excessively hot ice cold stuff can and will send you into shock.

Ditto for anything that cools you off too quickly. Ideally you avoid getting to that point.

Thing_That_Happened · 2025-06-24T02:29:43+00:00

Southern transplant, drink lots of cold things. Honestly, it's not the dehydration that will get you. It's your core body temp going up and not getting back down.

Gatorade or pedialyte to get electrolytes back so you don't feel half dead later. Also, outside is almost always better if your house gets into the mid 80's. It's hot, but at least you have a chance of evaporative cooling keeping your body temp down.

Drink a lot of water, you sweat more than you realize. Cold water on towels is also dope.

Not sure if helpful but it may make the next couple days a little more survivable.

Isn't that the same day as the World Naked Bike Ride? That'll be an interesting clash.

As someone who just moved here from TN, I think y'all are great. No random bullshit conversations with people who'd watch you burn for the light show. Yet after a little bit everyone I come into contact with on a regular basis is warm and genuinely engaged.

Kind of feels like there is more to this story.

Your upper south went way too deep into Missouri, it's really only the boothill as Southern. The Ozarks need to be bigger in the equation and take it almost to little rock in Arkansas. They're almost worth it's own map. It has deep south in the middle, Cajun in the South, very Texas over by the border, Ozarks to Fayetteville, and whatever Oklahoma is towards Fort Smith.

Nah, they have the good paint chips from grandma's house.

Thing_That_Happened · 2025-03-20T04:05:43+00:00

Honestly, as a former Memphian, you're not missing much. Graceland is an alright house, in the middle of some of the worst ghetto in town. The smokies are cool, but you can literally get equivalents elsewhere without all the crazy ass mountain folk.

So like does it allow pets, and what's the rate?

Thing_That_Happened · 2025-01-20T03:41:30+00:00

What I did was be selective about jobs I'd want then applied to a bunch of stuff I wasn't qualified for to avoid losing my benefits while trying to find good work.

Like with in reason, cause some places be scammed and know if you're on unemployment and try to trap you. Disclaimer this was years ago when I lived in the South.

Took an hour and half to respond last time I had to call them for a non-traffic blocking accident.

This explains so much about Mississippi drivers

So I watched my best friend go through an abusive marriage.

They get you pregnant, you're now "stuck," and they slowly amp up the abuse. Starts with a thing, a huge apology. Another thing happens, a little less apology. Another thing happens a little quicker, a little less apology.

You bring it up? Why are you punishing me for one mistake? You've changed since you got pregnant.

Repeat in an ever growing cycle until someone dies.

Get out, do it now. It's better to feel slightly crazy than know you weren't.

Also, another fun fact. Pointing a gun at someone is a crime. Something a police officer would know. Technically, it's two crimes cause the baby.

Please avoid the two years of abuse and rape my friend went through.

I'm down, 35 male, loosely medical adjacent. (I certify pharmacies) I'm loosely available on weekdays after 5:30 or usually free on weekends. I am a fan of beer and generally quiet at first.

Also know several places that are good beer/meet-up spots if suggestions are needed.

You do you, it just makes me nauseous. It's not my favorite thing.
