  • ID card has a place for first, middle, and last name. Person has only one name. Government office puts the only given name in one spot and accurately puts “No name given” for spots of the names not given.

    ICE then targets the guy, probably based solely on looks (as is the custom of the day), decides the guy’s parents non-adherence to American naming schemes is enough to just get rid of him, then accuse NY of failing to capture peoples full names (with no evidence that happened), failing to vet people’s legal status (with no evidence that happened), fear mongering about “illegal alien truck drivers who often don’t know basic traffic laws off our highways (with no evidence this guy fit that categorization),” and patting themselves on the back over making the streets safer for drivers.

    Worth noting NY DMV disagrees with the characterization of this guy as an illegal immigrant in pointing to his federal work authorization. In order to get a NY CDL you need training, practice, and testing.

    Am I to believe the patsies of this administration who have lied repeatedly about a multitude of things, whose virulent racism clouds their understanding on the naming systems of other cultures, and whose claims are presented without evidence or NY who at least has evidence in the form of a valid government issued ID?


    “If New York wants to hand out CDLs to illegal immigrants with ‘No Name Given,’ that’s on them. The moment they cross into Oklahoma, they answer to our laws.”

    The failure of Oklahoma to accept a valid government ID from the state of New York is a violation of the Constitution’s “Full faith and credit” clause in Article IV


    An illegal migrant working as a trucker.

    Why is it that identity in nominal vernacular is generally surrounding one’s profession (“I am a trucker”) but the moment you’re brown your identity is “illegal migrant?” Again, no evidence was provided of his migrant status.


    Some people have 3 names, others 4, 5 or 2. Some people don’t even have names. This guys greatest sin according to OK was that his parents only gave him 1 name.



  • Your in-group language may be viewed as acceptable within your siloed communications, but that doesn’t mean it’s generally appropriate. “Female” is an adjective, and we already have an appropriate word in English for a female person, “woman.”

    The use of “female” as a noun is objectifying and dehumanizing–reflecting terminology generally reserved for describing other animals.

    I’d encourage you to ask some women how they feel about the term and take their responses to heart, but apparently you can’t keep their attention for more than 2 days.

    Oh, and who you calling “you people?”


  • females

    Did you mean “women?”

    females

    Perhaps you meant “women?”

    female

    Pretty sure you actually meant “woman.”


    No issue, no awkward moment, no creepiness nothing.

    You sure about that? Your disdain, misunderstanding, and disregard for women in general was on full display in this one post. Its entirely possible that within 2 days of conversion the woman you were talking with realized you weren’t the kind of person she wanted in her life.


  • Kinda just seems like she likes to play games with people and so had a list of people she could contact to play. You used to be a reliable candidate, and now you’re not.

    I don’t know what you envision as “getting close,” but is it possible she didn’t view y’all as being close?

    I’m guessing y’all have asymmetrical goals and expectations. She realized this and adapted.
