ICE detains Marine Corps veteran's wife who was still breastfeeding their baby

“I’m all for ‘get the criminals out of the country,’ right?” he said. “But the people that are here working hard, especially the ones married to Americans — I mean, that’s always been a way to secure a green card.”

Didn't care until it impacted him, ex marine, dude totally voted for Trump. So: good, hope you and your kids suffer the consequences of your actions, scum

Plex has paywalled my server!

Someone else already said it and you've already swapped but I'll say it in detail:

when setting the server connection up you selected "ServerName (long string of numbers)" and not "ServerName (your IP - SECURE)"

this routes your connection through the Plex servers and makes it not a local connection anymore. this is extremely easy to do and forget you've done because it barely impacts performance

Wild chickens do this, yeah. They'll insistently peck at anything red, this spray is usually for if a bird is injured to stop others or themselves pecking it and making it worse

you can also use it to help deter roosters who are getting too violent on hens, as they'll peck and pull out feathers during the mating process

A skill or knowledge that you have that is typically associated with people of the opposite gender but that you think is odd or stupid that people of your own gender don't have?

it's not really that it's a trait exclusive to women, it's a trait that is beaten out of us (for some of us literally) as we grow up. Different people enforce that onto us for different reasons, and sometimes it is "only women cry" but too often it's "don't be weak"

I've been working on it for a decade and I still can't. I can get close when I think about how upset I am that I can't cry when I'm upset, but I still can't do it, and I had loving and accepting hippie parents ffs

Always find it funny how the French and British traditionally hate on each other but the British will defend to the death the stupid French shit we stole for our language

the amount of times I've seen people get pissed off at the American English removal of the useless "u" is actually fucking silly

dark pattern

Nope, not at all. Its extremely forward, your local IP is listed first every time IME, and your lower-down comment has it backwards as it's your local IP that had "secure" written on it

it's not a dark pattern at all, people are just stupid and don't read (including me, I fucked this up too at first)
