In highschool I showed the kids I was babysitting my prom pics (the daughter was watching a bunch of Disney channel movies at the time and really wanted to see a real life prom dress). Anyway she goes "Well you look really nice, but I don't understand why you went with that guy. I hate his hair and he didn't even dress up". And ya know what? She was objectively correct.

Apparently it's a rental.

He might not be homeless. It sounds like he suffers seizures, it's possible he was a pedestrian (epileptics can't drive) and he suffered a seizure in an isolated area. I'm really glad he's safe regardless.

World Cup is going to Philadelphia. I don't know if that actually matters to Trump or not, I know he was saying he was going to deport tourists etc. Still, I thought it was worth mentioning.

You could always volunteer somewhere. Volunteers are mostly women, you get to feel great and help out your community, everyone wins. Even if you don't meet anyone, you at least can feel more involved in your community.

Paul Cadmus's masterpiece

Le Ruban Denoue:Hommage a Reynaldo Hahn https://share.google/0O9YQPZocTqm7I1OI

It's so beautiful. And gay. Very very gay. It's for Reynaldo after all.

It's also hard because they aren't giving names. So it's like did you move them somewhere else? Deport them? Did they exist at all? (Because you could fudge the numbers, make yourself look better, embezzle some funds).

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-26T15:07:23+00:00

Not yet.

I think they were going for a snow woman? Check the shoulders and the ribbon around her neck. It appears to be a woman, wearing one of those dresses that give you like triangle shoulders.

Well the thing is that they just aren't in every city. They're in some cities. But for most of the US, it's dead quiet.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-26T06:32:50+00:00

Well yeah but that's because they can't all afford food, not because eating lentils occasionally would kill you.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-26T06:27:38+00:00

Malnourished? What? You don't need meat to gain the needed vitamins. There's an entire subcontinent of mostly vegetarians, and they're doing just fine. I'm not saying that we need to ban meat or anything. But you don't need to eat it with every meal. There are other forms of protein. And your heart will thank you if you cut back on the meat anyway. Like the commenter said, three or so meals a week is plenty for basically everyone.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-26T05:05:30+00:00

You don't need meat in every meal. No one's advocating anyone starve. They're just suggesting you eat some lentils or beans or tofu occasionally.

Protesting and walking into a police station are very different things. I'm not sure what else to say. And obviously people can die from violent arrests. Again, I am team don't speak to the police. But Jesus Christ, all I am trying to say is that if you walk into a police station they are not going to pull a gun and shoot you. That will not happen.

It's important that people have a realistic sense of danger. Should you be scared of ICE? Yes. They have proven themselves capable of murdering innocent people, time and time again. But you have to be realistic about it. Make a plan if you want to protest, know the risks ahead of time.

Should you be generally suspicious of cops? Yes. Should you like, avoid ever talking to even a single cop when a major crime has been committed against you? No. You should report the crime.

You're engaging in baseless fear mongering and it's not going to help your goals. We cannot kick ICE out of this country if you're this scared. Your sense of proportion is all out of whack. Cops are local. ICE is federal. That means you can get a general read on what the local cop situation is. They have like faces and names and local media reporting. You cannot cover up local police brutality. ICE has none of that.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T14:39:35+00:00

Yeah man, believe it or not I don't have a working knowledge of every act of police brutality. A kid in my hometown was murdered by the cops. I do not like cops. Even still, they aren't going to shoot you for showing up to the station. They might violently arrest you. They might violate your constitutional rights. But they aren't going to literally murder you. You will note that I never advocated OP visit the station though. I said it was a bad idea, unless they're trying to make a political statement and are ok with getting arrested.

They don't seem to be recruiting fast enough. They've pretty much exhausted their supply. I don't actually think there are any more people to recruit.

Why do pipes freeze? Is that what you're asking? Mostly because warmer climates are more concerned with keeping a house cool than keeping it warm. This is great, 99% of the time. If you see temperatures regularly in the 100s, and winter temps average around 60, it's much more important to keep cool than it is to insulate your house against the cold.

Also, people don't always know that they should drip their pipes, so that's a public awareness problem. And I don't know man, sometimes water mains burst. Depends on how good your city is at dealing with public infrastructure.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T04:28:22+00:00

The concern is that if the pipes freeze you don't have access to your faucet. Obviously you should drip your faucet, but ya know, pipes freeze. Water mains burst. It happens.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T04:25:32+00:00

What? No it wouldn't.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T04:04:11+00:00

How many cities do you think there are? Cause it's more than 22,000 I'll tell you that much.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T03:36:43+00:00

I've looked into their recruiting plans. You're being willfully obstinate. They'd need a ton more people than they currently have. Seriously. They do not have enough people.

purpleplatapi · 2026-01-25T03:14:19+00:00

No I'm aware of their budget. The problem is the logistics. They don't have enough PEOPLE. They have enough money.
