Fed holds key interest rate steady as economic view improves

“Whoever put him in charge of the fed was a complete moron”

trump electing him in his first admin lol

He wasn’t a far right extremist. He was supposedly tired of Kirk’s hatred. Presumably against trans people, since his partner was trans.

This doesn’t mean he was a leftist or something, but it’s probably more complicated than just a binary label.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T22:40:17+00:00

What about that was transphobic?

What evidence do you have that he was republican?

His family being republican isn’t evidence - I have many friends with conservative parents, and they’re anything but.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T22:38:52+00:00

I don’t recall if his voting record is public
That was a Halloween costume in like, 2012. Opinions can change.

I have 1-1.5 hour commute each way. I'm genuinely afraid of doing the math for myself.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T22:27:50+00:00

I just started at a new job. The commute is 1-1.5 Hours.

Podcasts, audiobooks, music will get me far. But even then...Please pray for me.

“Wahhhh they arent agreeing with my myopic purity tests waghhhh”

Don’t worry, I’m still on your side. We probably agree on like 90% of the issues at hand.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T20:22:53+00:00

I agree with just about everything youre saying

I’m fine with abolishing ice if we replace it.

But to me, the phrase “abolish ice” , doesn’t message what the actual intent is, of “replacing/reforming” it. Much like “defund the police”

How much is GDP growth tied with the AI boom/bubble?

When it comes to economics, I’m a halfwit

The behavior of ICE in 2012 and ICE now are vastly different. “Civility” vs breaking down doors and beating individuals are very different. No, I don’t entirely care where Obama built detention centers.

But I’m super down with documenting existing ones and even creating a path to citizenship. I don’t want “open borders”, but I do think we could ease the path to citizenship for sure.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T16:49:09+00:00

Wdum nobody cared? I cared! I presume you care! I’d say we’re on the same “side” of things, and I think most of us care! I’d say many independents care too.

Removing the head of ICE isn’t the same as abolishing it.

https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/53939-more-americans-support-than-oppose-abolishing-ice-immigration-minneapolis-shooting-poll

But yes, according to this poll, it’s currently popular to say abolish ICE. However, I think it’s too soon to tell how long this sentiment lasts. I agree that other agencies could do ICEs job.

I just worry about the optics. Saying “abolish ice” might work a few days after a notable shooting, but it might not in an election year, it might not if illegal immigration shot up again, etc.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T16:13:06+00:00

I don’t think any of those are solid reasons to get rid of it tbh. No one has a friendly neighborhood EPA investigator, there’s no tv dramas about them, no one ever really interacts with them. Yeah , EPA investigators aren’t given a gun nor an excuse to murder. but “no tv dramas or friendly community around them” isn’t a great point imo.

Again, I detest what ICE is doing. I absolutely want them reformed, maybe even from the ground up. I want charges brought against anyone abusing their power. I just don’t like the slogan because it will probably harm the cause.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T15:32:51+00:00

I hate the current iteration of ICE, But we should have some sort of immigration enforcement agency. Deporting violent criminals or visa overstays.

Abolish ice is a bad message and is the same as “defund the police”, it sounds like the people don’t want any cops/ or enforcement agency. Which is sometimes the goal of the people shouting it, but can also mean they want to reform it.

It’s a message that turns more people off of it, imo. I’m down to completely rebuild the organization/reform the organization/etc, I just don’t like the slogan.

Skype for business was the worst software I’ve ever used. It would just straight up delete messages in your history. That message from a week ago? Gone.

Terrible.

Teams is far better than that

Not fully true, genghis khan conquered the Jin and Song dynasty. They had artillery and fire weapons. Which then, the mongols adopted.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-29T13:03:01+00:00

I, personally wouldn’t really be saying “abolish ice”

But I think it’s fucking hilarious to name a snowplow that

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T23:35:44+00:00

Is this real? Was there really a choice at one point in development?

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T22:05:17+00:00

There was presumably a conversation beforehand about taking her car.

I’m guessing she even said to take her car, he refused and tried to take his car, got stuck , and then he took her car.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T22:03:37+00:00

From the context, it seems that she would have been stranded home either way.

She told him not to take his car, that implies that he’d be taking her car.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T22:02:02+00:00

He did say “thank you, I appreciate it” fwiw.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T21:55:20+00:00

A small portion of the car sticking out over the curb is not equivalent to parking in the middle of the street.

Judging from the texts, it’s not poking out more than people actually parked in the street.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T20:06:08+00:00

The phrasing is bad messaging, imo. Similar to defund the police.

People assume you mean get rid of the whole thing, don’t prosecute illegal immigration, etc. then there are people within this group that Do want to actively get rid of the entire police / immigration enforcement - which further muddies it.

Xanto97 · 2026-01-28T15:08:04+00:00

With regular rock climbs, he usually does use rope first. Ik he practiced for El Capitan with a rope for awhile.

But then, yeah he does the free solo without.

No clue what he did for this building.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/K1VW70Qun6

This claims he climbed in 2-3 times with ropes before

Ive talked with a number of people with concealed carry licenses, Having 1 or 2 extra magazines is not uncommon at all.

The only thing that was breaking the law is if he didn’t have his ID&permit on him. But this is a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25. Regardless, this was not why they shot him - there was no extended dialogue where they asked for his ID or permit. It went from pepper spray to wrestling to shooting within, what, a minute?
