So we wonder why the cops are aiding ICE in some cases... Here's why. Many work for them on a contract basis. But the police departments don't want us be able to see who is involved, nor the city mayor. In this case = LAPD. Scumbags. More criminal than those taken off the streets, to soul crush.

Just imagine ten years ago this was unthinkable. Now it's part of life in the USA. You wonder how the Nazi's came to be. Well you are seeing it.

Cannot state enough of how tone deaf messages like this are to what people want. And how just 'being there' Democrats cannot seem to get is not going to cut it anymore.

Got to say this out loud for more to hear. You need to really really ask more of your Democrats to end ICE and end the war in Gaza. I live in Oregon and frankly Jeff Merkley is the only that usually will ever respond back when you mention Israel attacks. The rest just take money and ignore you /1

Is there any video game that is Metroidvania but where it is also a fighter? Like a game where you learned moves to fight better by finding teachers and artifacts to update your moves? I think there is Hollow Knight, Ori, Nine Sols, Prince of Persia, but nothing with just fists and feet martial /1

Fun Fact Strom Thurmond was SC's senator forever and ran on segregation in the past. SC loved him. SC has a history of stupidity in their reps going back to the pre Civil War with a guy that caned another rep. They don't really work on togetherness but makes them happy with assaulting others. /1

Silly question based on the times we live in. Why can't we have more CO OPs in areas not just in grocery stores. CO OP papers, CO OP healthcare companies. It seems that the for profit only model is failing and I would think this would make sense, but I don't see it that much.

I made my first outdoor bench! 15 2x4 x 8's of Cedar. About 120 or more counter sink holes and 1and1/2" or 3" 10 outdoor screws. Did some sanding of 40 to 160 to 320 grit. Then applied some teak oil. Leveled outside and set the bench. Dogs not included. #Woodworking #OutdoorFurniture

I may be one of the few people that actually did not have a good opinion of Stellar Blade. The moves and control were clunky and the surroundings were boring and repetitive. It reminded me of Nier Automata. A lot of hype with a game delivering not what I was hoping for.
