I hear story after story about ICE kidnapping folks, wearing masks, not showing ID (in fact, being told _not_ to wear id). And story after story of those folks being held without the ability to consult a lawyer, or see their families, etc.

It seems like it would be possible for state and local forces (police) to arrest and imprison ICE agents that are acting illegally. Specifically, arrest them for kidnapping when the nab people off the streets. Sure, they'll get out bec

That was my first thought; that it looks like a version of Logo; which holds a fond place in my heart from younger years.

But it also only catches cheating on exams. For homework/projects, you can't really have that be in person.

Remote learning also opens up a lot of opportunities to people that would not otherwise be able to take advantage of them. So it's not _just_ the cash cow that benefits from it.

Indeed, going to school for a degree in a programming related field (Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Development; whatever) is also much more likely to leave you with a broad knowledge about topics in the field (different a

The lights in every direction, the people interacting with the performers and each other, the naked cowboy, the hustle and bustle. It's just a very unique location. It's like watching a human fish tank.

With the caveat that I've only really visited a dozen or so states, and only lived in 2, my experience is pretty different than yours. NYC pizza (and even north of the city) is generally a step above most other places. You can find sim

I always found it kind of fun to wander through Times Square in the evening, every now and again (on the order of once every few months). Pointing out that it's the same old big box stores doesn't really connect to the draw of it.

Living in a city (or other high COL location) also means you can save more. Sure, you're spending more, but that 5-10% of your earnings you put into saving is a lot more when you're making city money vs not. And when it comes time

I have constant tinnitus and sometimes it just "stops" for a bit (like on the order of a minute or two). When it does, the lack of a background noise is just.. unnerving. It's like something is missing.

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. I'd like to point out, though, that some amount of poor schooling is beyond the schools themselves. For example, being raised in a poor family where both parents (or the only parent) are w

Your argument is basically - Group 1 is doing well - Group 2 is doing poorly, because the system works in favor of group 1 - We should NOT try to balance things (lift up group 2 at the cost of group 2) in the short term so that things are m

Honestly, it feels like you're not looking, then. Because most DEI programs push to have a balance of minorities in employees. And, if the available pool consists of mainly the majority, that means you need to negatively impact an indi

I don't think anyone with a brain thinks that the DEI rules don't provide benefit to people of a minority at the expense of the people in the majority. But they also provide benefits to the minority as a whole against the system a

I love meetings that are get togethers to share ideas. Certainly not enough to impact other timelines; but getting together with a broader team of people to discuss what everyone has been dealing with is very valuable. Sometimes you wind up

It's not necessarily discriminatory just because it winds up impacting one group more than another. For example, if you have 2 groups of people and one of the groups is doing something wrong twice as much, and you enforce the law on ev

Right, but the post I was responding to was listing out reasons that women might be prosecuted more, including being targeted more. So, unless you mean that they are targeted more _because_ they are more likely to open the door to inspector

Not all meetings have decisions to be made. Some are just discussions of a topic; generally to make sure everyone is on the same page.
