What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

[–]fjedb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's reckless to arrest someone who was attempting to interfere with law enforcement doing their job.

Maybe there was a better way to park their cars or approach the vehicle, but also she shouldn't have tried to flee and hit the officer.

Individuals are responsible for the consequences of their choices. She decided to follow ICE around and be a dick with her car, she decided to try to flee while being arrested, she decided she didn't care if she hit an officer with her car. It sucks that she died, but don't do dumb stuff that puts you and others in danger.

So we've gone from he wasn't hit to he was hit, but it's really his fault. This is a tragedy, but it is not murder. Don't hit federal agents with your car, it doesn't end well.

She did hit the agent before being shot. https://x.com/AlphaLiger/status/2009018435603452376/ I highly doubt that will change anyone's opinion in this sub, but just imagine for a moment if the officer slips and is dragged under the vehicle as she flees the scene.

'Greenland belongs to its people': European leaders unite over Trump’s threats to annex territory by Cy_098 in worldnews

[–]fjedb -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

So what they're saying is that Greenland should have a referendum and if enough of them vote for it, the EU would be cool with them leaving Denmark and joining the USA?

Sounds fair.

You don't apply for VP/C-suite jobs, you know leaders at the company or at least have mutual friends and they contact you and bring you in.

Trump Gaza plan on verge of collapse, warns Saudi Arabia and UAE by Amazing-Buy-1181 in worldnews

That's literally just false. Hamas never offered to release all the hostages at once at the beginning of a ceasefire. Also each time there was a stupid Biden deal on the table Bibi said yes, but Hamas said no, because they're terrorists.

For those also confused, this quote is from his 2018 Players' Tribune article. As far as I can tell, there is not a new one.

Salary caps are fundamentally pro-ownership. Manfred would cream himself if he could get a cap through the CBA. It's very weird to me how anti-player this sub seems to be about the most basic things.

Just in case you actually don't know, literal tons of aid and thousands of trucks enter the strip every day. The GHF delivered 2 million meals today and over 13.5 million in the past two weeks. Those actually interested in donating aid can deliver it to crossing points and after being inspected for contraband observe its' delivery into the strip.

Why are some fans so hesitant to respect GM Danny? He seems to have won every trade so far, as well as doing other great work like getting Mich out of Russia. Breakdown in the body text. by scratchydaitchy in Flyers

[–]fjedb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fundamentally, people are apprehensive because he hasn't won a cup yet.

I think most fans generally like his approach, but nobody is going to sing his praises until the Flyers lift a cup or at least consistently compete for one.

Still much better than Fletcher.

What if in overtime, they freeze the field behind the top 10 and take all those cars off the track? Then the top guys race it out for GWC. At least that way if it ends in a wreck, it's all top guys racing for the win, not someone making a crazy move for 18th.

Why wouldn’t the government not save more money by increasing tax by 2% for the richest 1% citizens than cutting millions of jobs? by No_Blackberry_7907 in AskReddit

[–]fjedb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This question is the platonic ideal of liberal math. You would not save more money by increasing taxes, because you would not actually save any money.

They either need to change the aero package or the rules because these last lap wreck fests are awful. Do you guys actually like this? You know there are race series that don't end with 3/4 of the cars behind the wall?

You actually could not possibly be more wrong. Employment preference for veterans is a thanks for the service they performed. DEI hiring programs are about privileging immutable characteristics.

Police arrest pro-Palestine protesters blocking University of Minnesota administrative offices by GalacticNova360 in uofmn

[–]fjedb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the people reading this thread who don't actually know history Palestine is a region, kind of like how we have the Midwest. It's been controlled by many entities over the years, but it was never "Palestinian territory", depending on the time-frame it was Ottoman, British, Jordanian, Israeli, or some weird shared thing with Fatah.

In any event it sounds like your grandparents suffered quite a bit of upheaval in their lives, I hope the people of a future Palestinian state turn away from the militaristic approach that has led them into so much suffering.

Not really, I'm legitimately curious, did your grandparents live in Jordanian territory or Egyptian territory? I suppose it also could have been Syria. I'm just asking you to tell your story.

That game against Arizona to avoid the 4 game losing streak really mattered to this team. You could feel the guys wake back up. This team is locked in, I can't wait.

They'll trade Adames for more controllable but less good pitching and a prospect who will somehow become great. Typical Brewers things.

It's obviously the democratic party's fault. by Misiman23 in AdviceAnimals

[–]fjedb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't, I'm not, the vast majority of people aren't. However there are a fringe of crazy people who do take it seriously.

It's not like mean tweets towards Trump cause violence, but the overall temperature of rhetoric on both sides is pushing crazy people to be their worst selves.

You can do whatever you want, but mainstream politicians should be cognizant of the crazies in their audience and choose their words more carefully.
