Here are the 'job requirements' for a deportation officer. Literally randos.
U.S. citizenship Have a valid driver's license Be eligible to carry a firearm
No. It it has many other requirements such as the ability to hold a secret clearance, a background check, drug testing. Do you think 'randos' and 'bottom-feeder men with anger problems looking to get the high of having power over someone else' can qualify for a secret clearance?
The deportation officer role also requires 16 weeks of training which is less than the NYPD's 26 weeks in their police academy, but plenty for their specialised role.

The Baroque Cycle
No, but I do like Neal Stephenson from Snow Crash and The Diamond Age, so I'll look into it. Thanks.

It wasn't his main point, but I think if you are going to test your applicants for their ability to juggle multiple tasks over time (and the tasks are largely irrelevant), why don't you get them to juggle benevolent acts rather than doing the intellectual equivalent of digging a hole and filling it in again.

I guess I like the same spirit. Like an overarching series of interesting characters just doing their thing and growing over time. Its also kind of low stakes which is fine.
I might go and check out Hornblower or Sharpe next and see what comes of it unless I get a better suggestion.

The Nutmeg of Consolation.
Its hard to read these books, knowing the series is coming to an end. Where do I go from here?

This is actually my identical routine. Trimmer if too long, then Mach 3 in the hot shower, blowing on or tapping the blade to get the clog out as needed. Can't remember the last time I cut myself.

This type of self-development journey is more common than you'd think. Also everyone goes through a period of feeling the mortality of their parents and themselves.
From the outside it seems like you're doing pretty good. Finishing a PhD is no joke. Also some of your other achievements aren't small things.
Keep doing what you're doing. I wish I had a bit more to add, but you're already socialising in hobby groups and keeping fit. Meeting a romantic partner would nice, but its not as easy as it sounds while you're juggling all the other stuff.

Wasn't there a post recently about how bears will run away if you have the smallest firearm?

The food angle is standard boilerplate for multiculturalists. It comes with sub-arguments like 'no you aren't allow to cherrypick only the cuisine, you have to accept all of the culture's ethics and strange behaviours without complaint' and 'no you aren't allowed to just buy the cookbook and not let the immigrants come. That's cultural appropriation'

I'm leaning towards layoffs.

I would like to think that it be for something serious.
By serious I don't mean an annual general (heh) meeting. I mean either 'the federal govt layoffs are coming and high command will be cut by 25%' or 'We're getting into a fight with China over Taiwan. Soon. Really'

I got up to the swamp biome before moving on from SilkSong, but from my understanding all flying enemies were programmed and placed to be as annoying as possible. Also for some reason they share the same hp as tankier, slower, ground based enemies.
Some parts of the game are very high qualities, but in others you can tell that it could have used more QA or a larger consensus on what they were doing.

Lots of reasons. Testing defenses, intimidation, diversion of resources.
As an aside, I found out the Mexican cartels are apparently sending undercover sicarios to Ukraine to learn about drone warefare.

Yeah, we're still only at Step 1. I thought the memo was out about this.

That's not how this works. The heightened threat against ICE is removed and then their legal risk mitigation strategies can be stood down.
But yes, they absolutely should be cracking down on and arresting the doxxers if the legal means allow them to do so. If they can't for whatever reason, then the protective strategies remain. Then federal laws should be passed against stochastic support of crime.
It shouldn't be 'law enforcement personnel must accept the exposure of themselves and their families to physical harm while they're alone and exposed at their homes because they decided to work for ICE'. Clearly this will lead to intimidating people into not working for ICE. Which means border enforcement ceases to exist and Antifa achieve their political ends through the threat and use of violence (eg domestic terrorism).

Once the doxxers are significantly deterred to the point the criminal behaviour is drastically reduced, and the doxing threat against ICE agents for doing their jobs is removed, then ICE agents can go maskless again.
No, a black woman will can get black men to vote for them while a gay man won't almost certainly can't.
Edit: fixed.

I think its more of a statement against corporate exploitation of consumers through shrinkflation. He probably has a dead family member who was a habitual drinker of post-mix beverages and suffered from mass-exploitation over their lifetime.

If ICE stopped being masked goons who look like they came straight out of a bad YA dystopia movie,
Your terms are acceptable. This can be accomplished by arresting and punishing those on the left that are attempting to dox the ICE agents and use intimidation, violence and other tactics (even stochastically) against the agents and their families to demoralise them from their work. Once the doxxers are significantly deterred to the point the criminal behaviour is drastically reduced, and the doxing threat against ICE agents for doing their jobs is removed, then ICE agents can go maskless again.
and became normal accountable government officials who behave kindly and civilly
If this is not code for 'become ineffectual' and actually means that you wish them to hold the above demeanor as they effectively do their jobs then this is also acceptable. Effectively doing their jobs however includes an appropriate use of force against those they are arresting and also those attempting to disrupt law enforcement activities.

Nothing happened in the world today. Anyways..
He could have acted like most people would when confronted in that scenario; taking his feet off the seat and spending the remainder of his journey being resentful at the woman and the conductor, before forgetting about the incident within an hour of leaving the train.
Instead he decided to cover his embarrassment at being called out for his prole behaviour by immediately escalating into racebaiting. His Rosa Parks act doesn't fool me and I'm pretty sure most of his fellow travelers (heh) were thinking 'just shut up and get off the train dude, I've got places to be'.
While I hate Karens (and the woman in the video looks insufferable), I don't have any sympathy for him at all. He's contributing to the tragedy of the commons and pearl clutching when called out. The seats are plastic precisely because people act as he does, lowering comfort for all travelers and contributing to more cars on the road driven by people who are not public transport enjoyers.
I think its more like the witch hunter's community promised that they would not suffer any witch to live among them. Which kind of happened automatically because no witch wanted to live there (except maybe for an ultra-powerful immortal witch that wandered in for a laugh to show how silly and impotent the witch hunters were).
But pretty much the witch hunters got bored with no witches to kill and started hunting each other. The community slowly died off as a result.
