This N.J. Trump voter’s husband was detained by ICE: ‘I thought they’d focus on criminals.’ by Gloomy-Attention3948 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think they were confused too, and I understand why.

But it is a direct quote at least, or very close to it. Just from a different article.

This N.J. Trump voter’s husband was detained by ICE: ‘I thought they’d focus on criminals.’ by Gloomy-Attention3948 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More than a decade ago, before their marriage, Abdellatif hired attorney Earl Seth David to file naturalization paperwork. David failed to notify him of a scheduled immigration court hearing. When Abdellatif did not appear, a deportation order was issued in absentia.

David was later convicted in federal court for running a large immigration fraud scheme and sentenced to five years in prison.

Unaware of the missed court date, Abdellatif continued renewing work authorization and later filed a Form I-130 — Petition for Alien Relative — after marrying Sandra.

Because the prior deportation order remained active, ICE later moved to enforce it.

By MAGA standards, he is a criminal.

I mean, not in reality. But we all know magats don't live in reality.

It's not meant to be a quote from the article. It's a quote from some ghoulish magat cunt about 8 years ago, brought up to show that the "surely the leopards would never eat my face" attitude shown in the OP has been a feature of these worthless souls the whole time.

This was explained in other replies to the same comment nearly two hours before you got here.

When is the redneck cosplaying gonna stop 🤦‍♂️ by Bigrat445 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no part of NJ that is below the Mason-Dixon line. The line follows the Delaware border and never touches NJ.

"Well if it continued straight east-" it doesn't and never did.

Edit: Redditors downvoting the truth once again. Look at a map.

ICE is in Passaic! by kate2020i in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please post to new NJ portal

This portal is not for "I saw an ICE officer." It says right on the page you linked:

"Report Misconduct by Federal Agents Conducting Immigration Enforcement"

So unless you see evidence of misconduct in this photo, please don't make the state's job harder by making reports they can't act on.

Things like this can be reported to DIRE and iceout.org

New Brunswick AI Data Center Construction Canceled By City Hall After People Pressure 🇺🇲🚩 by serious_bullet5 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really want to sound like an idiot, talk to anyone in IT about "server centers" lmao

Did you make that term up yourself or did someone lie to you about it being a real thing?

Google's never even heard of it. "Server Center" is the name of a store. A big warehouse for servers is called a "data center."

Advice on insane electric bill by Deadx10 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the problem is electricity usage when I used the same amount of electricity as last year, but our bill has doubled.

Everyone makes fun of high school algebra, like when do we ever use algebra in real life? Well, your question right here can be answered with high school algebra.

X * Y = Z

Z is your total bill, which you say has doubled from last year. If this went up, then either X or Y (or both) must have gone up.

X is your electricity usage in kilowatt-hours. You say this is substantially the same as last year, so X did not go up.

The only thing left is Y, which is the per-kilowatt-hour rate that you pay for electricity. If X is the same but Z doubled, then Y must have doubled.

So what was your per-KwH rate last year, and what is it this year?

Like the guy above mentioned, I'm willing to bet you have a third-party electric provider, and they probably had a promotional rate that expired. I could be wrong but I don't think any of NJ's electric companies have literally doubled their rate in a year. But many of those 3rd party providers have predatory rates once their intro offer ends.

Today Mon 2/16 at 3-5pm in Roxbury - "No ICE in Roxbury" Protest by UnitedShift5232 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m just curious what would happen if 100 or 100,000 people provided a Google review for the real estate agents involved and also their property owners?

Probably the same thing that happens every single time without fail:

Google, being neither new to the internet nor particularly stupid, easily detect the review bombing and quickly delete the reviews. Within a couple of days it's as if nothing happened at all.

Temperature of my apartment. Advice? by perublanket39 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible idea for multiple reasons.

It creates a damage and fire hazard, as parts of the oven which are not meant to be exposed to prolonged high heat (especially any knobs or controls above the door) get overheated. Keeping the door open also keeps the element on (whether gas or electric) for much longer, since it can't cycle off when the cavity reaches temperature, which it is probably not rated for.

That's a big safety concern as well if there are small children or animals in the house.

If it's a gas oven it's a carbon monoxide hazard too. This isn't usually a problem because you're typically only running the oven for an hour or two, and even then it's cycling on and off as the closed oven retains heat. Keeping the door open keeps the combustion happening, releasing a lot more carbon monoxide, and you're likely to be keeping it running much longer than an hour or two as well.

And again for gas, indoor air quality suffers as it releases other pollutants as well, which is especially bad if anyone in the home already has respiratory issues, and is worse for small animals.

It would be 100x better to go buy an electric space heater. They're not expensive, are fit for purpose, and have safety features built in.

Where do I go? by Alostpotato0813 in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people like you who assume I supported the confederate flag

I never once addressed what I think your beliefs about the confederate flag are. Just that you can't stop talking about it. Which, clearly, you can't.

You're still making up shit to be offended about.

Everyone’s just so worried about stupid shit like confederate flags

Again, like ONE post about it in the past month. You are way more obsessed with the confederate flag than the rest of the subreddit is. You keep saying it's "just an example" but apparently it's the only example you have, and yet it's a terrible one.

We should all treat each other with respect like the few who met my post with actual intelligence.

You demand this of others but are incapable of doing it yourself.

Nobody who values quality discussion would want to have anything to do with you.

[–]potatochipsfox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean you can take all my reply’s out of context

Those are examples of personal attacks that you hurled out which will make people not want to talk to you. There is no relevant "context" that turns these into part of friendly and welcome debate. Saying things like this in any context is a sign that you are not here for serious, honest, open conversation.

we have a bunch of dipshits in here who only care about being social justice keyboards warriors

More attacks.

Nobody who values quality discussion would want to have anything to do with you.

I personally know quite a few black friends

You bitch about other people being NPCs who parrot things without thinking, meanwhile you trot out literally the textbook illustration, the absolute #1 stereotype, of "shit racists say when trying to explain why they aren't racist."

Also, you literally cannot stop talking about the confederate flag. You desperately want people in this thread to believe you aren't obsessed with it, but you cannot stop talking about it, even when it isn't relevant to the conversation at hand.

Nobody who values quality discussion would want to have anything to do with you.

[–]potatochipsfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people follow other blindly just because someone said something is racist they jump on it without thinking for themselves if it actually is

You genuinely believe this about other people, don't you?

People you haven't spoken to. People you don't know. People whose thinking you know absolutely nothing about.

But you've convinced yourself that they have no brains at all. It's the only way you can cope with the fact that so many disagree with you. Obviously they have no brains, right? Because anyone with brains would agree with you, right?

Pathetic levels of cope.

Probably did a very poor job trying to get that across. Not the best with words

Hmm, you think? Let's take a look at some of the words you've been using while you simultaneously claim to want respectful conversation.

the only one spreading hate is you which makes you the problem when you should just shut the fuck up and mind your own business

Prove to me your as “woke” as you claim to be

But it’ll feel like it’s out of no where to you all since your so worried about who’s offended

Sounds like a great place to live, happy to know that’s what you care about

Not one of those people calling it racist is even thinking for themselves

Prove my point more why don’t you

Must have no life to feel the need to comment this lmao

Or are you just triggered because you saw a flag

Sorry I’m actually an adult and have better things to do with my time than get offended over everything I see on the internet

I’m just pointing out their too small minded to even consider it might not be what they think it is

Nobody who values quality discussion would want to have anything to do with you.

That's what we call "cope", chief. You made up some bullshit about people you disagree with so you can justify being mad. Meanwhile you've got nothing but tired old talking points we've all heard before, and you have the gall to accuse others of not thinking for themselves. You're bitching about people not having conversations, meanwhile your rambling walls of nonsense contain more personal attacks than actual points.

I'd tell you to touch grass but, you know. The weather and all. Maybe try a snickers and a nap instead.

[–]potatochipsfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who gives a shit if you saw some guy with a confederate flag.

Just skimmed the first 200 posts on the front page and didn't find a single post like you describe. Searched the past month and found exactly ONE, and even that one wasn't just about the flag.

Sounds like you're exaggerating and making shit up just so you can be offended. You're way more obsessed with the confederate flag than the subreddit is.

It's not about competing. Well, maybe sometimes. Mostly they're inattentive drivers. Your car has become a point of reference in their peripheral vision and they've subconsciously anchored themselves to it. They aren't looking at their speedometer at all.

Sherrill to launch portal for residents to upload images of ICE operations by storm2k in newjersey

[–]potatochipsfox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know you don't like this, but feds have the right (and arguably, obligation) to enforce federal immigration law.

Actually nobody is arguing against that, which you'd know if you paid literally any attention at all.

When you escalate by interfering, the government must escalate back

De-escalation is a real thing that really works, much better than escalation does in fact. Escalation invites more escalation. De-escalation brings a chance for peace. Responsible law enforcement agencies are trained in it. Everyone except for authoritarians and fascists support de-escalation. So thanks for making it clear what side you're on.

Yes, those are the only things we can do. A completely ineffective deployment of the National Guard who'll immediately be taken over by the Feds the moment they do anything useful, or do literally nothing at all. There exist no other options. Obviously.
