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 89 points 3 months ago

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

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 34 points 3 months ago

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.

in australia, we say f*** ice because its another word for crystal meth

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

In lemmo we say fuck because why the fuck did you censor fuck?

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

because not everyone likes to swear. i know, shock horror!

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

But...then...use a different word?

I'm so confused. You still swore. We knew what you meant and you knew what you meant. You just censored the text. We've got alternatives with no censoring. Message me for Jesus Approved cursing. (please don't)

Edit: removed zoomer slight.

[-] lseif@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

sorry, are you the swear police ??

the phrase that people are repeating is not 'screw ice' or 'screw the police'. 'f***' is much closer to the original. i just prefer not to type out the actual letters; is that so bad ?

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Sometimes, yeah. A lot of the time peeps don't know what they can get away with.

I don't think it's bad, but it does confuse me and confusion is no fun.

[-] Vakbrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 3 months ago

Not gonna lie, I thought it was about Internal Combustion Engines at first.

[-] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

You're not a dragon.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 16 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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

[-] groet@infosec.pub 9 points 3 months 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.

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

You found an airbnb with a toddler? Did they serve you drinks or something?

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Just to be clear, I brought the toddler, they didn't provide the toddler

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)


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

[-] EherVielleicht@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago

To Vanilla.

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Internal combustion engine.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 66 points 3 months ago

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

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

40% of cops!

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

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

And that's just the 40% that admitted it. US cops are trained liars. How many decided not to admit it?

[-] Seraph@fedia.io 62 points 3 months ago

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

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

[-] Sidyctism@feddit.de 1 points 3 months ago

But then they wont sleep for an entire month?

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 52 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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 3 months ago

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 8 points 3 months ago

Hey, at least internal combustion engines are useful for something

[-] Floshie 6 points 3 months ago

Hey ! My dad's an internal combustion engine

[-] vfreire85@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

and he will ride eternal, shiny and chrome.

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 34 points 3 months ago

Must be " post unfunny memes" day today.

[-] bestagon@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

Be honest, post unfunny memes day is every day

[-] norimee@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Why do memes always have to be funny?

[-] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 months ago

Hell yeah ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Fuck people who make generalisations

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 months ago

Systems can be bad, and the people who support and work within bad systems are bad, even if they act nice outside of that system.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 2 points 3 months ago

I disagree with the second part. That means everybody living in a first world country is inherently a bad person just by accident of their birth location. We're well past the point of choosing whether or not we participate in most systems, and at the end of the day, somebody needs to do the job of law enforcement.

[-] thelasttoot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

People choose to be cops. Choosing which country you live in is a luxury most can't afford.

[-] GiveMemes@jlai.lu 3 points 3 months ago

Ok then, so people who vote in US elections are inherently evil? - a more analogous example

People who consume bananas are inherently evil?

People that have smartphones are inherently evil?

Those things are all choices. How about another one? Lithium mining is a bad system that negatively impacts the environment. Therefore, people that buy electric cars are evil and bad for the environment, right?!?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Becoming a cop is a life change, voting is standard, as is consuming bananas and using smartphones.

Deliberately choosing to become a cop is bad, because there are a wealth of alternatives. Not true for voting, bananas, smartphones, or cars.

A small subset of humans become cops, it isn't a thing someone just chances into

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I agree with the first part, not the second. All those black kids who end up in the military because of poverty are not all evil. But you're right about the system so work to change that rather than damning a whole class of people.

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 4 points 3 months ago

What did the ICE tables do now?

[-] probableprotogen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

Fuck the police and the 3-letter mafia

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Not just the police and ICE but don't forget fuck USCIS, USBP, CBSA, etc.
