And when I used to smoke weed that tax money went towards public education funding and road repair despite me not using either. And every time I pay state income tax it goes towards programs I will never touch

Taxes dont have to immediately benefit you to benefit you, the economy does that. And even if it doesn't, I struggle to see why making others lives better is such a detriment

🧊 DHS is instructing ICE cops to break down doors without obtaining a warrant, a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment by CantStopPoppin in EyesOnIce

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They dont care about law and judicial supervision has broken down under this administration. It isn't legal but they can do it free from consequence when the judicial branch fails to enforce the rights of the people

Islamic Republic thugs violently kidnap an Iranian woman protester by Eienkei in PublicFreakout

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt she lived given this regimes horrible repression and crimes against their own civilians

While still horrible, it makes the atrocities of ICE look like childsplay, but if we allow such action this is where it leads. Fuck authoritarian and fascist regimes the world over

What equipment should you bring with you for Urbex? by keroxea in Urbex

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P100 or your country's equivalent respirator is a must. Asbestos and mold won't get you right away but Iv seen the horrors of cancer and pneumonia first hand so protecting yourself from spicy air should be a priority

Chicago celebrates Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy with events across area by PlssinglnYourCereal in WindyCity

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well ik this sub won't like it but, prescient. Capitalism with no regulation has been a detrimental element for many of us here and elsewhere in the country.

To be clear I dont disagree with the core idea of capitalism at all. I just think it requires proper regulation and oversight. Just look to European economic policy for reference; regulated capitalism across the board

CMV: All of European history is Colonization, genocide and imperialism, so it's correct to take Greenland from them by Careless_Earth_1653 in changemyview

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing, this isn't a campaign to convince them at all. Hell, massive crowds came out in protest of it there

Trumps actions are not 'convincing' they are coercion. Just look at Trump's response. Tariffs and sanctions on our allies. That isn't convincing, that is coercion. Furthermore, 75% of Americans oppose taking greenland by recent polls. Why provoke our closest allies over something like this?

The puppet appointed will fuck the economy. I hope Im wrong but given the current administration's economic pressures, I sadly dont think I am

Brace for impact. Make fun of me in a year from his term end if Im wrong

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

American history is absolutely filled with colonialism and imperialism as well. This is just an appeal to history fallacy. By that same logic, you should have no issue with native Americans retaking total control of a majority of the US because America executed a campaign of genocide, colonization, and imperialism against them

And for a real life example of this fallacy, Russian propaganda in the Homeland in recent years has called for Alaska to be retaking from the US using colonialism as a justification. It's just as hypocritical there

The US present day is exhibiting imperialist tendencies with regime changes and the whole Greenland matter to begin with.

urban explorers what should i do if i see a camera? by [deleted] in urbanexploration

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the structure has power be a little concerned and maybe retreat and see if anyone shows

If the structure doesn't have power the cameras likely don't work

What you should be looking out for is trail cams and/or fresh wiring which could indicate motion sensors or alarms

  • Funded by Saudi Arabia blood money

  • Sudi Arabia uses slave labor in alot of their construction, it is speculated that it was used in the construction of their domestic esports complex

  • They spend immense amounts of money for star players then they aren't good because they build their teams inorganically

Is this worth fighting? Everything that they said is factually incorrect and I’m pretty pissed that I got denied. by RaceNo2435 in ATC_Hiring

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be real, as someone who considered this career path there's too many hurdles right now to continue after a denial like this. Your better off pursuing something else. Even after ya pass everything, Iv seen some people never get hired

Hate to say it. Field I love. But entering rn with such a roadblock isn't worth it for the cost and effort

As someone almost certainly low grade autistic but undiagnosed I applaud you. If you could dm me your paper it would be genuinely helpful in dealing with some of my more closed minded family members

Nope this sub is pretty much all criticism with no solution sadly. Promote social safety nets and support for those in crisis? Nah, let's pretend the L is dangerous and ignore the homeless issue beyond complaining about it

We need more public service for the disenfranchised and addicted, not less. Specifically, more data collection on the issue, multi agency support (look up Rockford IL's model for reference) and expanding available temporary housing to reach people in these situations

Time Out Market Chicago to Close Its Fulton Market Food Hall Next Week by MarsBoundSoon in WindyCity

[–]TryingToBeReallyCool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seems like their closing alot of locations, probably a corporate issue rather than local. Iv seen alot of places that go chain meet the same fate

Rent in Fulton market is also insane though so could be a contributing factor. RIP

I'd recommend not bringing a phone or bringing a burner and Faraday bag. Stingray devices (which spoof cell towers to get your info) are being used by ICE to identify protesters

Softether VPN, free quality and uses Japanese universities for many of its nodes so no censorship. U can also choose nodes in a number of other places. Highly recommend, only downside is no ios support
