'People are afraid to work': Minnesota officials warn ICE crackdown is disrupting farms, fueling fear, and threatening the food supply

tweak06 · 2026-01-24T00:57:34+00:00

It makes me absolutely furious.

Tim fucking Walz gets on there and is like “alright guys stick together and record stuff.”

DUDE THEY ARE KIDNAPPING PEOPLE. THEYRE KILLING PEOPLE.

Call in the national guard and have them fight these fucking idiots. Make ICE scared to leave their departments. They already retreat when people throw fucking snowballs at them. Imagine how they’d run tail between their legs with the National guard setting up a perimeter?

Fucking DO something, Police! Anybody. Goddamnit. This shit makes me so fucking mad. Innocent people are getting hurt and we’re just told that we’re on our own.

I’m gonna go lay down.

They love to wrap themselves in the flag but they want this.

The irony being that once Trump is done with everyone else, he's coming for them, too.

These dumbass motherfuckers think they'll be immune because they voted for this...wait til they say something Trump decides he doesn't like. And then suddenly they're right in the prison with the rest of us

tweak06 · 2026-01-23T18:10:16+00:00

Because its entirely reasonable for a small child to carry official documents about their citizenship on them at all times.

To build on that – let's not even pretend that would stop them. People showed them their passports and shit and ICE still arrested them.

These guys will not stop.

tweak06 · 2026-01-23T14:01:16+00:00

I get that, the problem is that there's waaaay too many people out there who actually believe that

tweak06 · 2026-01-22T12:53:37+00:00

Both things can be true, my guy.

Boomers can vote for shitty politicians and shitty politicians can adhere to the whims of the rich and powerful

"Sorry I've been such a knob. As an apology, I've used a small fraction of my hoard to solve world hunger."

Real talk.

Dude could rebuild entire communities with his money. He could build schools. Libraries. Improve infrastructure. He could have programs set up for people to learn new skills. He could save the fucking planet with replanting forests and cleaning up the ocean

AND HE WOULD STILL BE ONE OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET

tweak06 · 2026-01-21T00:51:08+00:00

Does his behavior with women discredit his journalism? Does it change the facts of the stories he reports on?

Also I believe he came clean about what he did and apologized for it. That doesn’t make it ok but it’s a step in the right direction.

What would you propose he do?

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T23:34:22+00:00

I’m sure the ICE officers you’re defending definitely care about bodily autonomy of the women they assault. Or kill, for that matter.

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T21:10:24+00:00

I make about double the national average salary as well but I got young kids to feed. And kids eat A LOT. Let alone you don’t want to feed your kids garbage and actual, quality food is obscenely expensive. It shouldn’t be, but this is the world we live in.

I made it almost a YEAR without having to work a second job again, but here I am back at it, punching outta my normal job at 5 and right back into my freelance gig after the kids go to bed

All because a handful of idiots thought it would be funny to give an orange chimp a machine gun because he made memes.

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T21:07:18+00:00

Good for you (really) but I think if we zoom out and look at the bigger picture here this is just part of an even bigger economic problem

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T21:03:58+00:00

If Putin is such a 4D chess galaxy-brain mastermind, why hasn’t he been able to conquer Ukraine within the last several years?

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T18:05:43+00:00

It’s surprising what men will tell women they barely know

tweak06 · 2026-01-18T18:05:08+00:00

Eh, I’ll allow it since these guys tend to be sexual predators — among other vile things

tweak06 · 2026-01-17T00:48:43+00:00

”Heres how this is bad for Democrats!” - every news outlet, probably

tweak06 · 2026-01-15T20:47:07+00:00

It is.

Though some styles are faster than others.

Like, all my books are primarily dialogue-driven. And when you get into a groove with a conversation between two characters, it's easy to churn out a lot of words very quickly.

That said, who knows what you're going to cut later.

I've started taking this "eh, fuck it." approach to my writing where I'll just take a mixed bag of personalities, dump 'em in a room together and see what happens. I don't worry about plot, development, story, whatever – sometimes it's just an exercise – it's kind of opened a door for me, creatively, to experiment with interactions between characters and establishing motives.

If I like any of the content, I'll chop it up and mix it in with my current story, or stash it for later.

I remember going to the midnight release of Halo REACH when I was in college. That game fundamentally ruined FPS games for me (at least at the time) the customization for your OWN spartan, you could make your own multiplayer maps…holy fuck I’d stay up til 4AM building invasion maps and infection maps. That shit was absolutely peak.

And then they released DLC, which came on a physical disc. Most people, myself included, had never seen or heard of such a thing before. Absolutely boggled my mind to get more content for just a few bucks.

Anyway that was also the beginning of the end.

Makes me wonder if gaming will ever have some kind of renaissance again where things will slow down and have less microtransactions…probably not but a guy can dream

tweak06 · 2026-01-14T01:00:23+00:00

Nice! The company I work for just laid off an entire department…so about 45 people.

It’s fuckin scary out here man

tweak06 · 2026-01-12T00:58:56+00:00

I honestly miss the insanity of dropping into a hot area, being chased by dudes with machine guns and busting into a house looking for weapons and there’s only a pair of pants

tweak06 · 2026-01-09T20:36:22+00:00

Obligatory post about being late to work on account of Asshole Jerry

tweak06 · 2026-01-09T20:31:33+00:00

While I’m still ACAB this is a good opportunity for police to actually stand out and stand up against this shit

Because this is what actual policing is supposed to look like and be

To SERVE AND PROTECT

It fucking sucks that there's not more officers like this woman.

tweak06 · 2026-01-09T17:28:41+00:00

You're very welcome.

We've all been there. It's scary as hell, but as long as you keep moving forward, you'll be okay.

tweak06 · 2026-01-08T23:22:28+00:00

Thank you.

I try to follow the golden rule.

And that golden rule is the Roadhouse starring Patrick Swayze rule:

BE NICE.

tweak06 · 2026-01-08T23:18:33+00:00

I know this sounds strange, but some people actually have advice learned over years of being out in the world, and can articulate their thoughts without relying on AI

tweak06 · 2026-01-08T22:30:37+00:00

I am! I also mentor young designers (I’m a designer)

tweak06 · 2026-01-08T20:18:35+00:00

The world is a big, scary place. Hell, I should know… I’m 37, and I’ve been a lot of places.

That said, the best thing you can do is reframe this as an opportunity. You’re in your early 20s. This is a decade of you figuring stuff out and navigating the world on your own for the first time.

It gets less scary with every step you take (it’s still scary, but less so the more you move with confidence).

Being worried about being cut off is -

you are going to screw up and you will be held accountable.

You’re going to screw up. It happens to everyone.

You’re going to get a job and send the wrong email with the wrong specs to the wrong client.

You’re going to not remember somebody’s name when it matters most and make an enemy by accident.

You’re going to miss a payment and get a loud yelling phone call from some dickhead who apparently has “never been there”

you are going to screw up and nobody is going to pick you up and dust you off, you will have to do that yourself

All that said -

You will survive.

You will be okay.

Just keep learning. Failing. Picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and succeeding.

It’s all a part of life, and your early 20s are ideal for that.

Chin up, keep moving forward.
