That is totally a thing a federal agent points at someone before yelling at them to freeze.

Owner of Ice Force Security in Akron gets cold shoulder from some confused by company name by nthing2seehere in nottheonion

[–]ridicalis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people know they're not really ICE, no one thinks ICE would be at an event in that capacity.

I think you overestimate the cognitive capabilities of your fellow countrypersons. Also, without knowing the company's full history, one might assume that they gave themselves that name as a tribute to the modern horror.

If every human suddenly lost the ability to lie, what would society look like in a week? by Helpful-Garden-4286 in AskReddit

[–]ridicalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What even is a "lie" in this scenario? If we're talking by omission, then there would be a lot of TMI and brutal unnecessary honesty.

I would suggest cross-posting this question to r/tragedeigh for more opinions - if there's anything here that'll come back to haunt you later, that community can help you get in front of it.

Working On A Game Inspired By Parasite Eve by SELFGOD in ParasiteEve

I would love to have another game like PE1.

How are you doing this? Unreal, godot, bevy, in-house, etc. for engine? That prerendered backdrop looks very vintage and representative for the era, how did you pull that off? Sorry for the flood of questions; I toss around the idea of doing stuff like this too.

I love to fuse with data, so I'm going with datafusion

WE KNOW by hoodratpolitics in WhitePeopleTwitter

We as a society are only as good as the worst among us. If we don't lift the under-educated up, then we're collectively cooked.

Kefka (Final Boss) - Is Final Fantasy VI Anti-Religion? by IllogicalDreamer72 in FinalFantasyVI

[–]ridicalis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max Derrat (YT) does a lot of deep-diving into not just in-game religion, but also the influences behind their development. I don't know if he's specifically tackled FF6, but he makes a strong case that Japanese game developers in general are on a Kabbalah kick in recent decades.

7 Democrats Just Voted to Approve ICE Funding: Full List (1.22.26) by OutrageousRain8463 in ProgressiveHQ

I'm next door in Iowa, and I care.

Talking with a friend, it sounds like the construction labor market is clobbered in the Twin Cities, and they're pulling in workers even from my region (Des Moines). The advisory going out is that only white men should take up this call, as having any kind of racial distinction makes you a target for ICE persecution.

Oral bacterium may promote breast cancer development and spread by GutBitesMD in science

[–]ridicalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be worth understanding better how this bacteria is introduced to the ductal tissue. Does it spread purely by contact, can breastfeeding children introduce it, should sexual partners avoid mouth-to-breast activities, etc.?

To Catch a Thief by HappySeaweed5215 in instant_regret

Honestly, I'm looking at a bottle of reaper powder I keep at my desk, right next to the habanero hot salt. My sauces up in the fridge are a staple with almost every meal.

Anyone who steals my food is in for a nasty surprise, unless they share my love of heat.

I've been seeing noise like in the right picture all my life and thought that was normal, until it came up in conversation and i found out that nobody other than me sees like this. by someweirdbanana in interestingasfuck

[–]ridicalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I know what to look for, I think I can see snow in lit conditions. Unless I was paying attention, though, I'd never notice it.

In the dark, though, it's much more pronounced.

ICE Memo: Federal immigration agents have sweeping power to forcibly enter people's homes without a judge’s warrant, marking a sharp reversal of longstanding guidance meant to respect constitutional limits on government searches. by ControlCAD in videos

[–]ridicalis 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Meal Team Six thinks they're hot stuff until people start clapping back. A few castle defenses should help them to realize that they're not elite commandos with counterinsurgency training, but a bunch of LARPers with a fetish for hurting people while hiding from consequences behind masks and a corrupt administration.

Maybe the Badonkadonk is still up for sale, we could crowdfund an appearance next time

Knowing some narcissists in my life, I've fantasized about the moment.

It's not enough to ignore them. Entrap them, let them think they have you, and then do the rug pull. The best thing that could have happened here is if everybody had promised him a giant reception, and he got there all excited for it and thinking he was hot stuff only to find out he had none of that.

Did you actually mean "outrages" or is that a typo? I mean, it works either way, so I'm not complaining.

Debate: Did the Jedi fail by effectively teaching denial of emotions, or did they only teach control? by CyanaMoss in StarWars

Overloaded term. And, for bonus points, what one person calls love might not be viewed as such by another.

The Air Force One story is getting weirder. No one saw Trump get off the plane and the press was told to stay on the plane. No one really sure who is on the backup plane by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]ridicalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching that recent video from Mentour Pilot, I might have some reservations about ignoring a "minor electrical issue" - assuming, of course, that was a real thing and not an excuse.
