My dad came to visit once. He’s a shoes off kind of guy. Pretty diligent about it too. Problem is, he just doesn’t like wearing them anywhere. Sure go stand in my half mud yard and smoke a cigar and then walk right back into my kitchen.

We decided to show him around the area. Drive out to the coast. Leaving the car, “Dad you might want your shoes.” Get to the beach, as we’re strong into the sand, he stops, “I think I should put my shoes on.”

I fucking died.

All this to say, if you’re shoes off, make sure everyone is shoes on outside.

That last line, I’m going to leave it, but it doesn’t make sense.

I was thinking his imdb profile could use a refresh.

Did we get any pictures of him with Weinstein on the island?

That is only the 2nd expression I’ve ever seen her make. The other is just indifference with a touch of sadness Like the tip of an acupuncture sadness, because psychopaths don’t really feel much.

So being the second expression, it must be a smile.

Try the gray stuff! It’s delicious!

We used to play daughter, hooker, wife.

The reporting from Maddow is that an amendment to the DHS funding bill that was passed out of committee was removed at the request of the Whitehouse. This amendment included language to prevent ICE from detaining and deporting citizens which is already illegal.

What I cannot find (with some very lose and quick research) is the actual text of the amendment. Nothing was included in the bill that would make it legal for them to detain and deport a US citizen. ICE’s authority to arrest and detain under 8 U.S.C. § 1226 and § 1231 applies only to “aliens.” Once an individual is confirmed to be a U.S. citizen, ICE loses its legal basis for custody.

IMO it seems like an empty gesture without any sort of enforcement (remember I did not find the text of the removed amendment). We are already dealing with a militia that is operating outside the rule of law.

Actually slowing this down or putting up a road block would require laws that actually address the detainment of US citizens, as the current laws only seem to address the authority of ICE in dealing with alien residents. The would also need to be an independent watchdog and actual codified consequences for detaining US citizens in these dragnet operations.

I’m an American with some outdated experience from about 25 years ago.

I loved Germany and would love to return. I’ve even thought about migrating there, though I know this would not be simple.

I was there for about 3 weeks. My last name is very Italian, but apparently the family i was starting with hoped it was Spanish and expressed this with shock when I corrected them.

During my time there I witnessed quite a bit of racism directed at Italians and Turks. As it was explained to me, post WWII Germany encouraged migrants from Italy and Turkey to rebuild the workforce. What I witnessed was that Italians and Turks were looked down on and often held to lower jobs.

It’s been 25 years. I hope things have changed.

Wait till they find out how the elite and powerful view them (and pretty much all of us).

Thanks, now that’s in my search history

Through the 90s and visiting various areas of the US, those things were always there but not discussed in the open. People would say disgusting shit to people they thought they were safe saying those things to.

We’ve come to the point where people will say they aren’t racist but will still defend racist views and say racist shit but it’s not all brown people, just certain ones.

We’re probably about 6 months from having these assholes walk around with armbands.

Just start leaving hot dogs and Italian beefs laying around.

Unfortunately we have seen many instances throughout history of ethno-religious supremacist ideology, specifically around abrahamic beliefs. Would removing such belief systems from society remove all hate and violence, of course not. But I’d argue that we would be in a better place as a society. Maybe if we weren’t trying to prove whose god was more right or whose belief was more righteous we could have a more just, loving, and peaceful society.

Allowed to return after Trump builds his resort and condos.

I work on a business communication tool. You know those things you have in your phone that people send messages to and expect you to answer.

When I leave my computer, that’s it, I’m done. I don’t have the application on my phone. I didn’t check email or messages after 5 or 6 and most days I work for a few hours before I check them.

On weekends, I turn off my computer.

I’ve been doing this for years now. No one notices, or if they do they are smart enough to not bring it up.

I came up in a world where we were the ones introducing Yahoo and AOL into the business world, I had a phone on my desk that was essential, and email was king. I rarely had a laptop and they were quite rare. When you left the office, it was expected that you were some for the day.

The grind culture over the last decade or so is insane. It is insane that people will give over half their time to a company that would show them the door in an instant.

Yes, you should do everything possible to set up your team and colleagues for success when you take your PTO, but that should never require a tether to the office.

But those lives are workers and potential voters.

Literally just realized this is why I always invert.

Seems that he is confusing desperation for dedication. The only people who are going to wait for an hour are those who have no other choice.

It seems to me that he is really testing their ability to put up with his bullshit more than anything. One of my biggest pet peeves professionally is respect for the time of others.

Found the German

This is my preferred consumption method. Buy a bag of hotdog buns and they have a single purpose, be a fluffy sausage pocket.

Hotdog buns with:

• PB & J - too much bread and possibly to sloppy
• In place of sandwich bread - nice try Satan.

It is a bread product designed with a singular purpose.

A loaf of sandwich bread, that is like the Swiss army knife of bread.

Finally got around to writing everything up. I’d love to eventually add some visual customizations and chain loading of the installed OS.
