Yeah, that's fair. And boomalope farming is certainly... exciting... so it gets very interesting with a large farm.

I'm currently living in a slightly smaller house that's valued at 250k. The roof leaks and the porch is falling apart, but the town has doubled in size since COVID, and so has the cost of housing.

Where do you live that bread is sweet and greasy?

my interpretation is they had paperwork to arrest in a public venue

Incorrect. An administrative warrant gives no grounds for an arrest, it authorizes fact-finding only.

The legality of that action is what’s in question.

What law do you think allows ICE to dictate what exits to use?

But this is the digital age, so it's clearly e-migrating.

it assumes (1) conflict mediation is always possible and (2) and you do not want a system which is racist. (2) is fine, but (1) is not easy

1 is actually not as hard as people make it out to be, people just think 'mediation' and 'giving orders' are the same thing. I did care for developmentally disabled adults, and part of my training was in conflict mediation. I've also worked in a low-cost hotel that housed drug dealers, and preferred to de-escalate conflicts between tweakers myself instead of calling the cops. One of the huge problems with the US police forces is that they generally assume conflict mediation isn't going to work and jump straight to guns.

I also don't understand why it's not a political talking point that happy people don't commit crime to begin with. The US is allergic to taxes being used to increase happiness. Benefits keep getting shot down like, oh no, we can't have aid because people won't use it to better themselves, they're just going to stop stealing booze and start paying for it. Even their supposed downside is an actual improvement, I don't get it.

Yeah, and while the gas company probably doesn't charge full price for the installation, they make their money back pretty quickly, so it all comes out in the wash anyways.

It's like $11 on patreon, haha. It just says 'adult' so I don't know how nude the nudes are.

Nope, it's gatekeeping. I installed Ubuntu on my partner's machine instead of paying for windows, because he only uses webapps. Learning CLI isn't required for browsing the web, and trying to force it only makes people think it's useless for basic shit.

Anarchy and Marxism aren't the same thing, lmao

If you aren't saying "mixed race = porn", then I actually don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, they naturally range from bright blue to sorta greenish, so it can make ID a little tricky sometimes. I just suggested blue orchard bees, since that's what first came to mind, but it could be an Augochloropsis bee too!
