    I’m an independent contractor and I honestly don’t have many of the issues I read in this thread. I’m my own boss, deadlines are prescribed by state law, things are pretty nice.

    But one thing I don’t do is deliver the work early. That’s a laid service in my line of work; you want it sooner, I’ll work nights and weekends to get it to you, and you’ll pay me extra money. When you start giving work early, people start to expect it, and the same people will always ask for an extra day or two here and there.



  • What’s crazy is my daughter and I were in the car and she was telling me that a chicken can only lay up to five eggs. And I was like that’s definitely not true, and she said that that’s what her teacher said. I said that it’s definitely not true, and maybe there’s a limit per “egg laying session,” if there is such a thing, but even knowing nothing about chickens, I know they lay more than five eggs.

    She then went on to say maybe it was how many kittens a cat can have.

    So this argument is a very real thing.

    My daughter is 7, so I don’t expect her to have all the facts just yet.










  • Except it’s the gate of the military base and there are procedures with dealing with these things. I get it. I don’t think you should just shoot anything, but there is a line. This was the entry to the base, to the bridge that gets you on the base. The bridge itself is sensitive, and obviously the base is. This wasn’t like cops unloading on a dude trying to get away because he’s got warrants out. I just feel like the potential for negative results was much higher.

    And these were CG security, if my understanding is correct. This wasn’t Trump’s hit squad, these were the dudes who have been guarding the entry point to the base for as long as the base has been there. It’s literally their job, guard the entry.

    I appreciate all your hypotheticals, but this real life situation is someone attempting to force entry onto a US military installation. That’s the real situation, and this is how that sort of behavior is dealt with across the globe.

    I’m mad about ICE too, I’m just not sure what they have to do with this situation, other than the protest being nearby. I’m not sure how the base security are helping kidnappers and being Nazis, unless your beef is with the military. Shit, I’ll even say it’s okay to have some beef against the military and how they’ve been used, but the Coast Guard? I can’t think of any reason to hate on the Coast Guard.



  • It happened to a US military base in a foreign nation, which, for all intents and purposes, is US soil. This truck was backing it’s way onto a US base, refused to comply with orders. It got EOF’d. I appreciate everyone wanting to hate ICE, I think they’re a bunch of bitches, but unless someone’s has some legit proof this is some sort of false flag or anything, this is pretty SOP.
