She’s turning away to leave because the other agent is trying to open her car door. Look at the synced up footage from @zurew above. If she was actively trying to run him over she did a terrible job of it because she reverses first in order to get a better angle to drive away without hitting the agent. The video you linked is also cropped weirdly. Again, the video from @zurew’s Reddit link shows the uncropped version. Seriously, just watch that full video and tell me you still think she was trying to intentionally run him over. Also pay attention to what’s labelled “Shot 3” at the end of the video. The ICE agent is literally running after the car to shoot her point blank in the face. Trump’s response (also linked there) is clearly a massive exaggeration too -

I addressed pretty much everything you said here in my last post, I can tell you didn't even bother to read it. But I'll reiterate in TLDRish bullet points to make it easier to follow. If it is slippery and icy why is the ICE agent standing in front of her car in the first place? By your own logic that was even more stupid There was no reason for them to even be near her car in the first place, let alone standing in front of it while it was icy, or trying to pull open her door Law enforcement are expected to be calm, collected and professional even in dangerous situations. They're expected to have basic control over fight or flight. A regular civilian should not have these expectations placed upon them to the same degree, they deserve the benefit of the doubt. She likely did not try to crush his leg on purpose, she probably didn't even notice he was there because she was preoccupied by the other agent to her left trying to pull her driver side door open Even if she tried to drive over him on purpose, and that's a big if, the training guidelines for law enforcement in a situation like that are very clear; if someone is using a vehicle as a weapon DO NOT SHOOT THEM, because you often just make the situation worse. The correct response for a trained officer is to GTFO of the way and use other vehicles/blockades to stop the rogue driver Even with icy road thrown into the mix, which personally I think is the definition of grasping at straws, there is no interpretation of this in which the civilian is more in the wrong than the ICE agents. -

Two points I wanna make here. Firstly, the official training for police officers when somebody tries to use their car as a weapon against you is to GTFO of the way. Shooting the driver is considered the worst option because, as you can see from this case, it only makes the situation worse because the car is now accelerating but in a completely uncontrolled manner. The only time it's considered the correct move to shoot the driver of a car is when the driver is shooting a gun from the car themselves. Secondly, in a situation like this, you have to give the benefit of the doubt to the untrained civilian panicking and doing something slightly stupid, not to the (supposedly) trained law enforcement agent. They are expected to handle situations like this professionally. Yes, she probably should have stopped and got out of her car. But when you've got what essentially looks like two 3rd world paramilitary operatives with guns trying to get into your car because you accidentally drove down the wrong street, your body will go into fight or flight mode. Because of this you'll do stupid stuff. "Get out of the car" being yelled at you could easily be misheard as "Get out of the way" plus all of your instincts are telling you to GTFO out of there as well. She was probably looking at the dude to the left trying to open her door and not at the guy to the right in the front of her car, she may not even have seen him when she was trying to drive off. Fight or flight gives you tunnel vision. The core issue here is that ICE agents are untrained. Any competent law enforcement officer would have handled this far better. This is a case of an untrained officer escalating a situation with a panicking civilian. There is no reasonable interpretation where the woman is primarily at fault, and certainly none where an instant death sentence was justified. -
I think you are projecting to some degree here. Most of the men I've met who enjoy a lot of casual sex don't really care that much if the woman did too. The issues arise where one partner was significantly more promiscuous than the other in the past.

Pretty good. After a year of travelling in 2024 I have a seriously solid dating profile put together and if I really put in effort I can get 2-3 dates per week from Hinge/Tinder. I’ve got a really solid group of friends where I live now and I honestly think a lot of them will be lifelong mates. We go out most weekends which gives me loads of in-person chances to meet people. It doesn’t even feel like 'pickup' when you’re out with close friends, it just feels like partying and having a good time. I go out to make memories with them, not with the goal of getting laid. If it happens, it happens. I find that way more fun and way healthier than going out purely trying to pull. Lonely socially anxious 20 year old me would be astonished and proud of how sociable I am now.

In the context of this discussion that is essentially a meaningless tautology -

Do you mean this in a good way or a bad way? -

I suspect it's because his followers actually respect the sex trafficking to a degree -

Don't forget that he is a massive smoker too Another classic Tate video below. "Quitting smoking was so easy that I decided to start smoking again after two weeks" – Tate https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBJbkYPy8yY/ -

Every time Tate comes up I share this video of the workout routine he recommends, because after you watch this there are only two possible ways left to describe Tate, he's either a complete idiot or a total grifter. The idea that a supposedly top tier athlete would ever suggest that this 30kg barbell workout is 'all you need to build muscle' is nuts. His whole demeanour in this video is also just..... insufferable. Again you can also find videos of him literally admitting to trafficking women too, which are much worse. But somehow that actually garners him respect from a lot of the people who follow him. I'm glad the dude finally got the ego check he's needed for a long time. I suspect his reputation will suffer a lot from this because his image is entirely built upon him being this untouchable 'top G' -
Saying the feminine submits to the masculine is wrong. The feminine wants containment and protection, not slavery and submission.

I don’t think she deserves hate for it. I also don’t think it should be actively encouraged.

I basically never use the minimise feature. Minimise is it’s own thing on MacOS, it works very differently from Windows. Just switch to whatever window you want to move to and forget about the whole concept of ‘minimising’ from Windows. The multiple desktop thing can be annoying. If you right click (two finger click) on the icon you can open a new version of the app from the context menu. After a while I found this more intuitive because when I click the icon in the dock 90% of the time I want to show the existing window, not open a new window. If you never minimise apps, all window management can be done via a combination of Mission Control, Cmd+Tab and Cmd+Period (alt tab but only between windows of the same app) I’ve had the M1 MacBook for like 5 years now and it’s never broken down, feels good as new. Idk if it’s true that they break down more often. Certain models of MacBooks are known for having very critical design flaws, but they’re all quite old models afaik. As a rule they’re all very bad for 3rd party repairs though which is not ideal

It’s good for developers, you get a very powerful terminal. That’s the main benefit. For an average non-technical user it doesn’t really matter

It just takes getting used to, there are different ways to do things compared to Windows. And you can absolutely do this on Mac. Swipe up with 3 fingers on the touch pad into what MacOS calls Mission Control, then you can see every single window and its contents. This is the equivalent to the Task View you're thinking of on Windows, but IMO it's better. It certainly feels smoother. You can also access this by pressing the F3 button on most modern macbooks. I mean fair enough, it makes sense that OneNote and Excel would both work better on a Microsoft OS. However as far as I know Excel works almost identically on Mac beyond one or two complex features. I've heard OneNote is a bit more temperamental. My company uses the google suite for everything which is identical on both Mac or PC, I'm not super familiar with MS Office software as I haven't used it regularly in years. I mean I'm a software engineer, at this very second I have 25 different windows open and about 20 chrome tabs across several chrome windows, I don't have an issue navigating. And I've never found any software I need for my technical job which didn't work on my Mac. The window management takes a bit of getting used to, but I suspect the only reason you don't like it is because it's not what you're used to. Technically it can do everything Windows can do. I could not even come close to doing my job on an iPad. iPads barely even have a filesystem, and they definitely don't have a terminal. In fact access to a Unix terminal is one of the things that makes a Mac so desirable for software engineers. Powershell on Windows is a shitshow by comparison.
