  • I just think this is a stretch from an article that says they may deploy the military at once place on the southern border. I don’t think this article discusses something that is going to give the US a taste of their own medicine; nor do I think the military will start violating habeas corpus willy nilly across the country. Nor do I think they’re going to be conducting airstrikes and launching tomahawks at peoples houses. That’s military havoc.

    Maybe an unfortunate lost hiker who happens to stumble into that specific area on the border gets detained, but this potential deployment will not even be seen by an overwhelming majority of people in the US.

    The police and ICE are much more relevant threats to any random person in the US, but they’re not military. The military isn’t going to start doing those things in your last paragraph, they’ve got other agencies for that, and they’re already doing what you’re talking about.

    Eh, it’s just fundamentally ugly to me and that really turned me off. Rounding doesn’t help, that’s like turning the lights off for sex to make it better. I still know the ugliness exists, even if I don’t see it.

    Engineering is still very cool to me, and I have huge respect for those who do it, but I’d never have made it. It’s physics but even further perverted by reality. Math was beautiful to me because of how “pure” it was. Just straight logic, divorced from the messy world we live in. Tidy coefficients and elegant derivations.
