That’s textbook anecdotal evidence…

Hey, you’re a gang member with a criminal history in El Salvador, let’s get you deported.

What’s that, you say you’re not one?

Prove it without due process.

What’s that, you couldn’t do that? Too bad, the administration doesn’t care and you’re now in a foreign prison (and maybe dead)

Do you see why due process is important?

There really is a bit of a catch-22 in my book that’s centered completely around self confidence. If you are proud of who you are, if you are living up to your ideals, you are simultaneously much more attractive to others, and at the same time you realize that you don’t need others - but they sure are the cherry on top.

This was a pivotal video about “nice guys” I watched growing up that imo everyone should watch.

Favorite line:

This is not a transaction where you walk up to the cashier and pull out your nice bucks and buy sex and romance.

These are the same folks that say the civil war was fought for “states rights”.

They have no problem with ignoring details.

Holy shit I just felt like I lived his life vicariously with that comment.

Trump could open the doors of hell and it would still be no excuse for having voted for evil.

Do you view “evil” as a binary value or a numerical value that can be counted?

Is the pei build plate in need of rejuvenation by chance?

I’m not a very active printer, but everything I’ve seen about tpu printing on pei sheets suggests that it sticks too well - oftentimes ripping chunks of pei out.

If your sheet is pretty old, iirc you can rejuvenate it by rubbing it with some fine steel wool.

Also, have you tried a raft instead of a brim?

You implied they were a Nazi, I’m not surprised by some bruskness if the accusation was entirely off the mark.

I found it very uplifting that in her own written piece, she spent much of it highlighting and telling the stories of others. Sure, it’s unfortunate that this has made the headlines due to her being a white woman, but what she does with the spotlight is admirable.

The part that I learned the most from. I had no idea the detention centers were for profit:

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit.

Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.

The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense.

100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network

Right, but IIRC anyone can go on the plex.tv website and use shared servers due to the “proxy”

“They’re hurting the wrong people!!”

Idk how much of a threat it actually is, but wasn’t musk threatening to primary anyone who went against him?

I never said he wasn’t a valid target though. I’m asking what you think what a reasonable time frame a sitting president is expected to be given to fulfill a campaign promise of lowering the nationwide price of a commodity, and if that’s based on precedent.

Holy shit I didn’t see that on the horizon. That’ll be great…

Jokes about the eggs made of gold etc etc

These are all great reasons why egg prices are high, and will continue to be high.

All I’m asking for is precedent for a president to impact nationwide prices in 2 months time. What do you think is a reasonable window after which to assess a presidents impact on pricing of a national commodity?

Subsidize egg prices with all the money he’s supposedly saving?

My understanding is that he’s giving $400 million in direct subsidies to egg farmers, as part of a $1 billion package to USDA to lower the cost of eggs.

I’m as against trump as anyone else, but let’s say your candidate of choice was just put in power a month ago, would you expect new economic policies to have lowered the price of something nationwide? What’s the historical precedent for something like that? Biden releasing strategic reserve of oil comes to mind, and IIRC that didn’t put a dent in prices.

I worry that folks making a big deal out of this at this point in time are effectively being the same as the “I did this” Biden sticker folks, and idk about you but I sure thought they were asshats. Six months down the line, sure, hold him accountable for what he ran for. But idk how much economic impact a president has in two months time.

Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.
