A real man should have three pairs of jeans: One for everyday wear, one covered in oil/dirt/paint that never washes out, and one pair he keeps for important events like business meetings and funerals

And all it's doing is turning more people against ICE. These people never learn.
My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

AI is not taking our jobs. The AI bubble is. This mad dash to buy hardware and real estate is sucking up all the money that should go to employment.
What happens when the demand never reaches a point to justify all those capital expenses? A lot of companies holding things they can't get rid of.

The modern design job interview process:
- Screening call with recruiter
- Portfolio review with hiring manager
- Design exercise that should "only" take you 2 hours but you end up spending 20 on it
- Present on exercise to room full of indifferent people

No hard drives. Memory prices 4x higher. You thought the egg shortage was bad? Get ready for people unable to fix broken computers and replacements costing 1996 prices

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

I helped mobilize a group of neighbors to provide direct aid to nearly 50 families who are in hiding from ICE.
These folks deserve fresh, familiar foods. So we're purchasing groceries direct from neighborhood Latino markets whenever we can.
