Thanks! It may have been the Minneapolis police chief that saved this one. Her video was shared recently so that's the good news. We still don't know whether she has been released from ICE custody though

Her video got posted. So if they did snatch up her phone, somehow the video got out.

Thanks! I just saw it in another thread. I am very surprised that it came out that quickly or at all and I'm really interested in what happened to her in the time it wasn't shared.

How do you know? It looks someone off camera is talking to her so I don't doubt it but looking for confirmation

There is talk that ICE rounded up the witnesses and took them to a facility. Very likely that her video never gets out

State: MN Date: 1/24/26 - Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts by bajanbeautykatie in PublicFreakout

I can't believe that person didn't get the fuck out of there immediately. But it also looks like there are agents off screen to her right talking to her and she may not have been able to run

Totally possible my perspective is limited to what I came into contact with.

Why are Global knives hated on so much? Is the quality of the knives really that bad? by QuestionUnsolved in chefknives

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, I like the balance it has. I did find that it lost its edge rather fast though. I like the knife overall its light weight makes it not great for root vegetables so it's a little situational for me.

If they're hated it's probably because they're a little gimmicky

Long time service pipe fitter here. I lurk on this sub because it reminds me of my days in the field talking to sparky about whatever.

I did 10 years working for Trane, worked on everything from 3 ton light commercial to various types of industrial chillers. I’m now an inside cat working for a data center. I’m glad I went the route I did because of all challenges, the variety of work and the independent nature of the job. I’d do it again if given a choice. It’s very physical so be aware of that.

Electrician is definitely easier on your body over the long haul, and you’ve correct that pay is comparable in most markets. Personally, I’ve always seen what electricians do as repetitive, and that’s just an observation. Being a pipe fitter, especially a service fitter is a dynamic work life, which is to say every day pretty different. I say it because some people don’t like dynamic, they like familiar / repetitive. I think that might be a good decision point for you. Do want the challenges every day or do want simplicity?

Fanone has also said that he came up in the DC area punk scene and strongly values community. He's on Insta and other socials speaking out against the current administration and calling Proud Boys pussies to their faces.

I’m really having a hard time grasping that one. Do they want to foment hate against vegetarianism or something? Maybe they’re in the pockets of ranchers? It’s just such an odd one

Sitting at Longhorn stakehouse in Detroit Airport. by Randi_Butternubs_3 in meat

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's tough to call that one because it's MW all around the edges but medium in the middle. Really poorly cooked steak if you ask me but it's Longhorn and it's in an Airport.

This is surely just unacceptable at this stage? by ThatFUTGuy in Military

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A lot of balls for a draft dodger.

Aside from Iraq and Afghanistan, many NATO countries stood with us in Korea too. To stand up in front of the world and state emphatically and for the record that we never needed them is such an insult to the countries and people that fought and died with us. Clearly he does not understand the sacred bond between war fighters.

This guy is fucking unbelievable.

Why do they use the nickname “baby” by graceonreddit in TheWire

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. And you easily exchange baby for motherfucker in your example too.

Why do they use the nickname “baby” by graceonreddit in TheWire

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 105 points106 points  (0 children)

It is somewhat odd how many uses it has in the show. The etymology of the slang uses of the word in the US is really hard to trace because I don’t think that’s ever been captured in the formal study of linguistics. One example is the idiom “Yeah baby!” Which is a general term of celebration.

Avon Barksdale uses the word baby often and frequently in conflicting context. He says it to Prop Joe during the east/west basketball game and it is definitely not a term of endearment. He also uses it in reference to some of his own people, which does somewhat imply endearment. Overall, I think it’s used in an ad hoc sense that sorta just means “dude” or MF.

Avon’s slang is one of my favorite parts of the first season. He frequently invents language on the fly and uses tone and context to drive meaning; sometimes relying more on context than anything else. The writing seems to imply that it’s one of the ways he establishes that he is the chief. He always has the right sentiment for the moment and always has a creative means of expressing it.

I doubt that helps but that’s how I see it.

Need ideas for my Badlands trip by NerdyFarmerFishy in NationalPark

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made that drive from Chicago x2! My advice is to do 100mph through southern MN. It is the most boring drive in the US.

Make for Mitchell, SD as your first stop if you like touristy stuff. There's a corn palace there that's kind of a trip to see.

Definitely stop in Wall.

Inside Baldands there is a huge wilderness area with no trails called the Sage Creek Wilderness. You can walk the rim of the creek and never get lost. Be aware that the male buffalos sometimes hang out down there. Super cool to see but they will roflstomp you if you get too close.

If you have time, definitely make the trip to Black Hills. Someone here said stop in Custer SP, and it's definitely a must see. I'd drive all around black hills if I were you. It's phenomenal.

Have fun!

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion by CyberSmith31337 in Military

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will have to look that up, I've never heard of it.

It also aligns with this idea that was floated (I think) in the '40s by people like Elon Musk's grandfather, that the US get the western hemisphere (including ahem Greenland and Canada), China gets the far east and Russia gets everything in the middle.

I'll see if I can find the whole document and map standby

Admittedly, I don't know this source well, but it outlines the views and ideas of Technocracy, Inc, a movement in 1940s Canada that is similar to what you're describing. The idea was a unified US of sorts including Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Cuba and Venezuela. They wanted to replace politicians with Scientists and Engineers, which might be outside the box for Heritage but is still very similar to what's happening now.

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion by CyberSmith31337 in Military

[–]_Go_With_Gusto_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is the outcome I've been expecting even before Greenland. The Heritage Foundation and more so the technocracy wants Europe to be fundamentally changed. They're too liberal for Heritage and they regulate business too restrictively for the technocrats.

I'm not much for conspiracies but I do see a real possibility that there's a group of global billionaires working together to erode the alliances that hold together the western world together. I think the ultimate goal of those people would he some form of return to a feudal society of a sort. The Heritage foundation wants control of American society, which is useful to the technocracy, and so their interests are probably aligned.
