Yeah… Neither of those disprove my comment. The first article is about temporary legal status being given by a previous administration. Key word there being temporary. I’m not going to argue the morality or legality of that whole situation but those appear to be special exceptions.

Second article just proves that ICE is being racist and doing their jobs of checking peoples legal status. I did only skim the article but it didn’t appear to report that any of them actually got deported. Just detained and questioned.

They get “lost” in boating accidents.

It’s crazy how many guns are at the bottom of every lake and river.

As soon as I had the chance.

I have a real problem with authority and being told what I can and cannot do.

Good thing letting corporations run things has never gone poorly for anyone in the history of the human race even once!

PTB

I was in this same thread and the same mod also banned me from the same ~30 subs for the same shit.

Obviously my vote here is biased as I am in the same exact boat as OP but I find that banning people from a ton of subs they haven’t even said anything in because you didn’t like something they said in a community you don’t even moderate is fucking insane.

*illegal immigrants.

We still have many immigrants coming into the country legally every day.

Number 2 spot is Germany. All of the immigrants they have ever had would need to double while not a single soul immigrated into the US for the next ~30 years.

Does America have racists and dumb people within its borders? Absolutely. What country doesn’t?

Is America the most racist country? Absolutely not. Is it the dumbest country? Also no.

Nowhere is perfect. Despite all its flaws America is still the number 1 immigration destination so clearly we must be doing something right.

99.99% of the time I am a function over form kinda guy.

I just do not like the shape of the first couple generations of the Prius.

The newest generation I actual think looks pretty good.

I can’t deny they do run basically forever. My dad got one to replace his minivan once all the kids had moved out and he is able to take him and his wife to gigs with his whole drum set comfortably in the back.

I drive his Prius occasionally for various reasons and I just don’t like it each time. I find it unsatisfying to drive and unpleasant to look, but I cannot deny it’s utility and reliability.

Always appreciate someone who needs out about ATLA. I enjoyed the read and I guess I agree with you on the lava thing. Putting in context of the water benders being able to change the phases of water it makes more sense.

Man I wish I could rewatch ATLA for the first time again.

If only it wasn’t one of the most hideous vehicles ever made.

You’re getting into the problems with the magic system of the ATLA universe when taken to its extremes.

If you really let them all go hog wild people wouldn’t be fighting in a combat sense but more in a instantly kill you kinda way. I can see why they stopped at lightning for a kids show. The blood bending was already a bit extreme and I am still a bit surprised Nickelodeon let that happen.

Yeah like another comment said there is evidence of air benders collecting moisture from a cloud so I don’t really know. Then again maybe he was water bending? He did know how to water bend by that episode.

The problem is heat energy/fire would kinda get all the cool shit. Like lava was given to the earth benders in LoK and I always felt that didn’t make as much sense as fire benders having access to it.

Air, water and earth all just have the one thing that really makes much sense. Water can do ice and stuff since that’s just a phase change for the element they control but what do earth and air get?

Same way you can buy a car and it can be remotely disabled by the company that made the car if they want to.

Always online always connected products are never truly 100% yours to own and do with what you please.

This is why the early 2000s Honda Civic will continue to be the pinnical of cheap transportation until the end of time

Electricity is pretty much just very directed fire if you think about it in a sorta abstract way.

Thats why ATLA was objectively correct that fire benders could also handle lightning.

Whenever I want to listen to someone eloquently rant about basic home appliances and the science behind how they function he is my favorite guy to listen to.

His personal hunt for the right “feeling” led Christmas lights I totally connected with. I miss the warm glow of the older energy wasting bulbs but the LED ones always looked/felt wrong. He pointed me towards a brand that does a pretty damn good job of replicating the color temperature of the old style colored string lights without the energy costs.

Video in question for anyone else that enjoys warm colored light strings: https://youtu.be/qSFNufruSKw?si=g2VriQ5nQpmGBE7d

It’s the internet. Not much we can do. They will read the comments and do whatever it is they are gonna do. Nothing we can do to stop em.

You sound like you need some help. Like therapy help.

Based on the way you told the story and your responses to other peoples comments it seems like you might have some undiagnosed condition making you paranoid and aggressive at what seems like fairly normal neighbor behaviors.

Best of luck.
