Hi German here, we say fuck ICE a lot because it's a fast Train who always comes late. But to make a long story short, I am missing something here, what does ICE stand for?

[–] spaghetti_hitchens@kbin.run 88 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the US. They're basically the ones who raid homes and businesses looking for undocumented workers

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (17 children)

And don't forget about separating parents from children, holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded cells made from chain link fences inside buildings.... They are America's version of the Show me your papers patrol.

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, border patrol. They're notorious for the abuse of immigrants(even legal ones) trying to cross over from Mexico.

For real, fuck ICE. My fully booked evening train got cancelled after we had already boarded, the next two that day were fully booked as well, I had to find an airbnb with a toddler and travel the next day, and they replaced just half of the ticket price because I cOuLD HaVe tAKeN AnOtHer TrAiN

On the other hand their child merch is cute af

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How would taking another train even help with the ticket price?

[–] groet@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago

If your train is canceled, your ticket is automatically valid for all other trains going in the same direction (doesnt have to be the same route, as long as it will reasonably take you to your destination) for the whole day.

Depending on how mutch later the next connection arrives, you can get all/parts of your ticket price back.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Basically the federal border control cops that for some damn reason have jurisdiction anywhere within 250 miles of the border.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)


for reference
But on topic: The regional trains are also often late for always the same standard random reasons.

They let a bad apple spoil the bunch by not getting rid of the bad apple. Reaping what they sow.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Well, you see. Those in charge want that apple there. Because when push comes to shove that apple will also kill activists, protestors and political opponents without asking questions or refusing orders. He will keep fellow apples in check and keep them from speaking up as well. They like that apple.

It includes your dad, how many more times does he need to beat your mom for you to figure it out

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

40% of cops!

But for this one, please don't actually assume it's your friend timmy's dad, folks.

Fuck inter-city express (ICE)? Yeah i agree the Deutsche Bahn is horrible & unreliable. Also their trains are always late.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While those trains are indeed always late, at least they don't pollute cities the way that ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) do!

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, at least internal combustion engines are useful for something

[–] Floshie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey ! My dad's an internal combustion engine

My sister in law is a (not American) cop when she's not an EMT ... And she also moonlights as a volunteer fireman.

Where on the hero-bastard spectrum of cheap generalization you've devised does she sit?

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nowhere, not American is a foreign concept to them.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if your pun was intentional, but yeah anything not American would be foreign to an American. That's how definitions work.

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was intentional, honestly i'm proud of it x)

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In that case we'll played, you pride is warranted.

*ACAB, in their capacity as cops.

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Yep, she's still unfortunately a bastard, sorry to say

[–] LoreleiSankTheShip@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I think non-militarized cops, so most non-American ones, are not that bad and are generally more decent people than militarized cops. It's amazing how much better policing can be when cops don't carry guns with them all the time

The job of a cop is a bastard job. When she is working voluntarily as a cop, she is supporting a bastardized system and is therefore a bastard.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Must be " post unfunny memes" day today.
