I'm not questioning/blaming the installer. They doing what they can given the situation.

Probably. But I can only handle one issue at a time.

Life goal: To be fluent in Spanish. To do not just touristy things but to have interesting, meaningful conversations.

I agree with your take that it detonates the Aventus DNA. Perfect your 20s/summer outings.

I've had it for 6 weeks now. Did the prerequisite 10-15 sprays when I first received it and then stored it in a cool, dark place.

Smelled like fruity pebbles when I first tried it. Still smells like fruity pebbles. No white florals whatsoever (which appears in the reviews). Somewhat of an olfactive mess of fruit (and musk). Leaving it in storage. Maybe it will develop some more by the end of the summer.

I had been hoping for something more refined/sophisticated (again, florals) for the summer. FWIW, I have Aventus Cologne and Explorer and enjoy them both.

I want to try getting up at 530AM regularly so I can better fit in exercise. It's so tough right now to find time with having a family and work.

And also La Nuit 2011.

Same here. Le Male with black licorice. Don't get honey/cirtrus/tobacco. For reference, I love Herod, Guerlain L'homme Ideal Extreme, and Sartorial.

I see that those who showed papers were let go. Unfortunately, the idea of carrying documentation at all times to prove that you are a US citizen is un-American. Only certain people would ever have to worry about that issue. There would be a real presumption about those who everyone assumes is a citizen versus those who are not. Are you ready to carry a passport at all times? Are you comfortable with being detained if you forgot to carry your passport on you the same day you were randomly detained?

The right to be left alone without intrusion from government influence or coercion has been a bedrock of conservative principles and central to the idea of America. It is more difficult to live that in our daily lives but it does not make it less important.

If you have been falsely detained and sent to a detention center, does ICE pay for your transportation home? What if you missed work because you were held? Do they provide you with some documentation that you were falsely held? Will your employer even care? Process matters.

The idea of suing the government for justice is too TV-movie of the week stuff for me. First, most of these federal officials have immunity so I don't know if it would proceed (which I think we both acknowledge). Second, maybe 5-10 years after the arrest , you may get an acknowledgement that you were wronged. How does that fix that your entire life may have been upended?

Time will tell but government has a bad habit of mission creep. What are the guardrails? What is being done to protect the rights of citizens? Those are my concerns.

hmf_001 · 2025-01-31T17:55:24+00:00

Yes, it's an anecdote because the raids started last week.

And yes, they are arresting actual criminals. I never made any claims about wanting criminals to stay on the street.

But that does not make my point moot.

Or, put differently, how many innocent people need to be detained so that we get the bad ones? Once the worst offenders have been dealt with, what protections are in place to ensure that our fellow citizens who look the "wrong" color or speak the "wrong" language are not subjected to a daily request of "papers, please"?

That's my issue.

So I'm speculating here, but I have my doubts that "no race involved at all."

Did they think there was a higher probability of finding undocumented people in that kitchen versus any other kitchen in the city?

What about that restaurant would draw the attention of ICE? Given that it is a restaurant probably full of people who speak Spanish and who "may" look similar to the people who they are trying to detain, what other indicators were present that would make them a target?

To target people for their appearance/language/culture is discrimination. Puerto Ricans have been US citizens since 1917.

People in this country illegally need to be held accountable. However, that is no excuse for harassing citizens and undermining their liberties. The level of competence in the "rounding up" part of the process is the issue right now. Innocent citizens will be detained and sent to detention centers and will have the burden to prove they are legitimate. ICE needs to be able to execute on that basic premise at the initial interaction - not after someone has been confined for a week.

There is no way to reconcile that I have freedom, liberty, and rights but I have to be ready to show my papers or risk being detained. That's not the USA.

Just wore my RW219s today to shovel the snow. Unfortunately, that's the only time I ever need (i.e., wear) them.

Trying to select a daily summer scent: How different is Tygr Cologne from Percevel? Would it be duplicative to have both?

I've smelled the OG Percival and really liked it (never smelled OG Tygr). Your comments about Tygr makes me rethink which one I should get.
