Additional footage of the arrest shows Lander telling immigration officials: “I’m not obstructing. I’m standing right here in the hallway. I asked to see the judicial warrant.

“You don‘t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,” Lander can be heard saying.

The officials, two of whom were wearing masks, then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs. It remains unclear why he was arrested.

I think it's very clear why he was arrested: ICE agents are fascist trash.

I could tell by your first comment that you didn't care to know about how others think.

Ignorance is a lot easier than educating yourself, so I can see why you'd choose the easy path; I'm just disappointed that you decided to be incurious instead of learning something.

But I'm sure your "highschool rebel" understanding of anarchism is truly accurate, thanks for the notes. Or you could explain what mental gymnastics I'm performing? This is all basic anarchist theory that you can confirm with a five minute read of a wikipedia article summary.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but you should read some anarchist political theory if you want to address their actual beliefs.

This is exactly the kind of communal structure that anarchists advocate for: a voluntary collective where everyone agrees to contribute to furthering certain goals, values, and objectives.

OP is not coercing players to be in their game or to do things their way; they're saying "this is the game that I run, take it or leave it," and the players can join if they share the same goals.

ICE determines one's legal status based on melanin and accent.

It's fool proof, in that it's proof enough for fools.

I think it's funny that I have the exact same rule zero: I'll reluctantly play 5e, but I won't run it.

Communal resources seems to go against that

Mutual aid is a fundamental principle of (most types of) anarchism, as is freedom of association.

In other words: if the PCs don't like it, they can make their own game with their own rules.

I've seen trash thrown in a can before, but I've never seen a can thrown at trash like this.

The anthropologist David Graeber argued that agriculture was picked up and dropped repeatedly by societies for the entirety of the 3,000 year "agricultural revolution," as hunting/gathering was a much easier way to get those needed calories.

There are megalithic sites created wholly by hunter/gatherer societies; the deep human past is a fascinating time.

Maybe if the Dems abandon enough vulnerable people to the wolves they'll finally gain the respect of people who wouldn't vote for them anyway.

Obligitory "I have to use it for my job," so let's commiserate.

It's the worst program in all of the Office Suite. MS wrote the goddamn OS and email client, but for some reason if I have two instances open for two different inboxes and try to pull one up on the taskbar, the wrong instance will pull up every single time without fail.

My runner-up complaint is how when I use the search bar, sometimes it'll forget what I'm doing and when I hit enter it'll open some email instead of executing the search.

Every update makes it worse, so what drives you crazy?

In the tech sense- what is your favorite way that someone has used systems in unintended ways to do something cool?

I like the one where a guy used a wiimote for head tracking.

I've been getting back into the classic Close Combat games, and they're some of my very favorite of the wargame genre.

I'm curious what retrogaming's favorites are. I'm not too particular on what constitutes a "wargame," it could be anything from Final Fantasy Tactics to Steel Panthers.

To throw a couple more out, I really enjoyed Rome: Total War for the 4x strategy and the Combat Mission games for their simulation systems as well.

I've been playing some games through ScummVM, and there's a cool feature that lets you load the game using whichever graphics mode the software originally supported. It also lets you use shaders to simulate a CRT, because these bare pixels were never meant to be seen with human eyes. I thought it was fun to compare the art from the different versions.

Disco Demolition Night (www.wikipedia.org)

[...] fans began throwing the uncollected disco LPs and singles from the stands. Tigers designated hitter Rusty Staub remembered that the records would slice through the air, and land sticking out of the ground. He urged teammates to wear batting helmets when playing their positions, "It wasn't just one, it was many. Oh, God almighty, I've never seen anything so dangerous in my life." Attendees also threw firecrackers, empty liquor bottles, and lighters onto the field. The game was stopped several times because of the rain of foreign objects.

The Entangled Worlds mod is so well done that once you're in the game it feels like the engine was designed to support multiplayer.

One interesting aspect is that when one of the players dies they turn into an enemy with all of the same inventory; the other players must kill them to revive.

Even if you never got into Noita, it's a lot of fun to play it with friends.

I'd dice a russet up fairly small, then pan fry it in avocado oil. Add rosemary, salt and pepper. Remove and cover, then fry an egg in the leftover oil. Shread cheese on top and serve with salsa.
