Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Wow, I really hope help comes for those poor deportees

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

hope they die of it and the deportees are somehow unscathed

For a second I thought they actually tried to deport the immigrants via a shipping container and somehow were stupid enough to get in with them. But now that's what passes for temporary housing at the Djibouti base. It sounds like it sucks ass at that base in general.

It makes it seem like the empire has budget cuts to the outposts in Africa

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry but thats just copium. Shit like this has been perfectly normal in any remote US outpost since WWII.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Yeah you're right, but I did say "makes it seem like", but it's not surprising.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Nope, they’re relatively cheap so they can be placed down en masse. It’s not about quality but quantity

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Shipping container barracks are pretty common. I used to be part of the process in their fabrication back when I was pursuing a career in fabrication. I wanted to learn the process because I had homesteading pursuits that I felt like could be reached through similar methods. Constructed the right way, they'd be pretty comfortable if they weren't packed in there like sardines.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah maybe 10 years ago i could get a shipping container tiny home for ~30k and it seemed fine, slightly better than an apartment unit the same size

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

A part of me still has the desire to give it a shot, it’d be a lot more scaled up than a single unit though, I consider them to be building blocks. An idea I’ve wanted to do is have them in a hexagonal shape around the center with a inner garden sanctum

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

ooh yeah courtyards are fun

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Would be better, or at least easier. to just do a big rectangle with them with a courtyard inside I'd guess.

Posted on a rectangle. From a rectangle. Inside a rectangle. To a rectangle.

A better world is possible

You don't even need shipping containers to make this a reality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

True, but metal is the medium I know how to work with best and some sort of structure already there makes things easier, especially if you want to design it in a way that you can shift around as you see if and reconfigurate the layout as you expand

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn't we have a struggle session about repurposing used shipping containers as cheap housing?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've managed to avoid this situation my entire life, I'm just built different I guess

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I would just not get stuck.

Fucking amateurs.

The thirteen ICE officials meanwhile, fell ill immediately after landing and are currently suffering from respiratory infections, as well as extreme heat and cramped living conditions.

Critical support to comrade strep

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

Yep, that's me. You may be wondering how I got myself into this situation...

It all started with an executive order and my insatiable levels of bloodlust.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

friends... they're legally stuck due to judge blocking the flight. not actually stuck

[–] outhouseperilous 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What were the ICE agents wearing at the time?

[–] outhouseperilous 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah they were probably asking for it.

I hope so much they (ICE) contract malaria or a heat stroke, whatever helps them enjoy their impromptu vacation. The language in that article is disgusting of course, hardly a word of concern for the “aliens” as they say.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Poor babies, are you suffering from the hell on earth you yourselves have created?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Fuck 'em, but also how do you even wind up in that situation???

Sending thoughts and prayers. Like I think this is hilarious and pray y'all reap what you sewed.

Getting lung and throat cancer to own the libs. smoking-fish

[–] No_Bark 5 points 1 week ago

This is like that bit from Silicone Valley when Jared gets trapped in a self driving car inside a shipping container, but these absolute morons did it to themselves lmao

I do feel bad about the deportees being stuck in there with them though. Thats got to be rough. Do you think there's a chance they all become friends afterwords, as if they had a very bonding sleep over?
