So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they "forget" these things, well so be it. It's what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.

New noises don't bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it's a mess but it's all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

It's the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you'll hit a bump at 15 and the whole ~~front~~ bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn't prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit...

What you just experienced is cultural sexism. It’s extremely common in many cultures around the world.

Holy shit so much this. It's fucking bullshit and batshit insane in modern times.

My brother-in-law's mother is one of these kinds of people, and very much treats her two grandsons like they're divinity, and 6 granddaughters like they're his slaves.

My wife and I live next to them and since I don't like interacting with their family, it took me awhile to notice.

Oldest son gets preferential treatment on everything, gets expensive shit for every present giving holiday, and even the way she talks to him is like she's afraid she will upset him and is afraid he's not being treated the way she thinks he deserves.

Youngest son gets next preference, but is mentally around 2 or 3 so she doesn't do much besides treat him like a royal baby. Like 0-6month old baby.

All the daughters get cheap dolls or makeup for holidays. They are expected to be seen and not heard when she's there. Anything that needs done they are expected to do even if it's something the adult watching them should be handling.

A couple weeks ago I was talking to the oldest daughter about her art class when the oldest son started yelling about how he was thirsty.

Grandma comes over and starts interrupting the conversation asking why she's not going to get him some water.

I just interrupted her with a "we are in the middle of a conversation. Just be cause YOUR idea of respect is extremely warped doesn't mean the rest of us have to tolerate it. He's 12, he can get his own damn glass of water. If you don't like that, get it yourself, but you WILL NOT interrupt us again unless you want to find out just how disrespectful my wife and I can be."

I don't know what she said in response because I was making an effort to ignore her and say something about the art class.

I did end up sending a message to their parents about the encounter with an" if that's a problem for you guys then we can work out another deal for childcare." vague threat about us no longer providing childcare multiple times a week.

Am I disrespectful? Maybe. Probably. But I'll be dead and buried before I let someone tell a young girl she's supposed to drop everything because a MAN is there.

I'm also not welcome at my wife's grandparents house because when her grandfather straight up said "be quiet, the men are talking." when she said something during a holiday visit, I told him "what makes you think you can talk to my wife like that?" "well my religion says..." "FUCK your religion, you don't speak to anyone like that."

My wife says I shouldn't have said anything because now she feels like it's her fault her family doesn't like me. No amount of reassurance that it's their own fault helps. I stand by it.

Um... Sorry for rambling, this kind of thing makes me angry and I have to deal with it all the time, and I can't even imagine what it would feel like for all the women who have to deal with it.

"Here's the thing.... "

Neat photo. That bird is also judging you hard.

Unfortunately due to some temporal shenanigans, I'm stuck here without so much as a self-sealing stem bolt.

No transporter system.

Besides, why would I want to wipe my pattern buffer ~~prisoners~~ ~~guests~~ experiments?

My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they're over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.

Also "for an offhand comment"

proceeds to argue over multiple comments and several hours

Yeah, I don't believe it for a second.

A person who vaguely looks like a photo that supposedly shows the suspect (despite looking quite different from security footage of the incident) was caught with incriminating things, knowing he was being looked for?

That's about as convincing as the "Russian suicide"

Even crackhead Dave isn't that stupid and he spends his time intentionally antagonizing every cop in town.

I've had plenty of times where I get home and empty my pockets of the trash I accumulated with no can nearby.

And if I try to put something in a can and it falls out, I'm taking it with me because I didn't succeed in throwing it away.

Shrugging ans saying "well I tried" as you walk away isn't even trying.

Luckily, a legal "official act of the president" can work on more than one person.

I'm not saying it's a great choice, but it is there.

Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.

The article language wry much makes it sound like attempted murder, "lunging at her with a knife" you don't hold a knife toward someone and rush toward them unless you're planning on stabbing them.

Neither I nor the article writer were there, so we don't know the exact motion, but the words of the article make it sound like attempted murder to me.

Legit, my old job required a 90-day change, and I once logged into a system I could do monetary damage on with ease, because I took a guess at my manager's password based on how long it had been since he told it to me during an emergency.

He did what every single person I spoke to did. "password 01" changed to "password 02" and I just tried twice, and sure enough he had changed it three times since he had told me.

While I wouldn't be ruining the company as a whole, I could have easily fucked over the individual location because scheduled password changes just ensure people use predictable passwords.
