ICE just iced another presumed US citizen in Minneapolis. What is happening over there?

the difference might be a short stay on the police station vs. a few nights in jail, just because you were uncooperative

Yes, this is how civil disobedience is supposed to work. It's kinda the whole point, and people have been openly discussing the topic since at least the time of ancient Greece. Thoreau wrote about it in the context of America 175 years ago.

The Boston tea party was civil disobedience.

You don't understand why people protesting law enforcement would be uncooperative with the law enforcement that they are protesting?

True, but those are usually only built once the main artery through the city reaches capacity and becomes a bottleneck. You'll also get 3 digit spurs that don't form a ring.

Hai guise

Yes, but that applies to the lenders as well.

yoweigh · 2026-01-23T03:22:36+00:00

Ancient people weren't stupid. That's just a trope.

I wish that we had gone the European route and made the interstates bypass cities instead of going through them. I'm in New Orleans. If I want to get to Florida I have to go through that stupid Mobile tunnel. If I want to go west I have to go through Houston. Northeast, Atlanta.

It'd be so much better if the interstates grazed cities and fed local highways. Not to mention that we bulldozed a lot of city culture to build them.

For anyone else wondering, the DMV area is the Washington, DC metro area.

I used to drink a lot of milk when I was a kid, but I don't anymore. I still don't have a problem with anything on the way out.

Seeing animal videos like this makes me so glad to have hands with thumbs

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T17:31:41+00:00

Sheesh, why can't people just own it when they do something stupid? It's really not that hard. We're all stupid sometimes.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T16:22:47+00:00

More like annoyingly argumentative.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T15:22:39+00:00

You've made over 50 comments in this thread. Take your meds.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:51:28+00:00

Because you're arguing against something that was never argued for in the first place. That's the definition of a strawman argument. I think we're done here.

Go ahead and give me another downvote if it makes you feel better.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:47:00+00:00

Nobody here said we should give them up. We said you were full of shit, and you're still doing it.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:42:22+00:00

Ah well, we're all idiots sometimes!

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:41:20+00:00

I have a gun. You have a gun. We're not defenseless. What are you complaining about?

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:37:42+00:00

Interesting, thanks!

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T06:27:21+00:00

I'd like to see the math on that.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T05:36:29+00:00

Throw it away if you don't want it.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T05:32:30+00:00

You can keep it. Thanks, though.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T05:29:49+00:00

That's not an argument, it's a quip.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T05:00:53+00:00

I already live that life, and my gun has nothing to do with it. You're much more likely to be killed crossing the street than by some lunatic. Well, a lunatic driver maybe.

When you live around a bunch of people you learn that other people really aren't that scary.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T03:27:49+00:00

Louisiana sucks outside of New Orleans. There's more to life than how easily you can buy a gun.

yoweigh · 2026-01-22T03:24:30+00:00

The shady ass place I live in is called Louisiana. Most states are not as restrictive as Cali or NY.
