it's a construction site so from my understanding it's ultimately up to the owner whether to let them in or not

i work with a small crew, all citizens. we are union but afaik most other workers here are not (right to work state). about 3/4 of the workforce left early this morning; ICE was 2 blocks away at another jobsite so i believe a raid is imminent

"they're hiding in the porta potties. yeah in that one rigged to the crane"

 

i am not an immigrant so theoretically not in any danger of being deported. ICE has been doing raids around my job site and i suspect we'll be next. what can i do in the event they do come on site?

 

about a month ago i started doing electrical work (4 10s, Monday-Thursday). prior to this i had been working out 3 times a week and getting a lot of stuff done around the house. i still have a few hours of free time in the evenings, how do i not spend it dicking around on my phone?

a lot of important research relies on public grants. medical research comes to mind as a field that has been hit pretty bad by DOGE's anti-woke keyword search crusade

keep it up! i started exercising and calorie counting the end of last year and am down 20 lbs (9 kg). it's very rewarding once you get past the first week or so

i feel socially/romantically stunted for my age (20). i was mostly homeschooled and didn't participate in any clubs/groups outside of church and have never dated. i'm not depressed or anything about it but i know humans aren't meant to live alone

 

use Linux, it doesn't fund apartheid

as an aside in the latest Trillbillies episode Terrence said that we need degrowth communism and it got me wondering what that means to everyone. to hopefully stifle any silly debates i'll clarify that i'm talking about the West, not underdeveloped/overexploited nations in the Global South.

an end to oil drilling, gas extraction, and coal mining will obviously be necessary to stop climate change. how much modern technology can we replicate without relying on those things or other ecologically violent resource extraction? what does an agriculture system that doesn't rely on petrochem-derived fertilizers and herbicides look like? how do we repair the immense damage that's already been done?

i'd really appreciate some book recommendations on this topic as well as everyone's thoughts

a technical exploration of an HP laptop's "quick boot" features, ends with an excellent rant about the state of the technology industry that created them

 

it discusses the Synanon cult that was born out of AA, how it related to MKULTRA and 60s psychiatric research, and how it birthed the modern troubled teen industry.

also i finally learned what the fuck Deleuze meant when he talked about rhizomes

 

for real though, modern linux distros will rarely require you to enter a command line, and if you do, a quick internet search can usually help you find out what you need to enter
