Definitely possible, it’s just a little too consistent for me to think it’s all people meeting their hero and nobody just trying to do their job and getting treated poorly.

He has a reputation of just being an unpleasant dick and difficult to work with. Nothing super problematic to my knowledge, just a bad personality.

Public transit isn’t for socializing, it’s for traveling. Public spaces like parks, libraries, squares, etc that don’t require payment to use are for socializing.

More public transit and more public spaces. Transit that you don’t have to think about taking (because it’s safe, frequent, and cheap or free) takes you to new places or to familiar places more often, and lets you meet more people more often. And going outside and doing shit is just good for you, I’m sorry to report.

The addition of ‘fuckers’ in there makes me suspect Jeff Vandermeer, but I wouldn’t be able to say what book other than maybe part of the Southern Reach series.

I wonder if she can hear some noise it makes as the bits stick together and come apart?

This doesn’t make sense with how laws regarding flights over international waters work, which is generally that the laws of the country the plane is registered to apply while in international waters. If you get on an American plane in the US and land in a US territory, that’s not leaving the US. They clearly started from their conclusion and worked backwards.

Preaching to the choir, I know.

On Cosmos (the original), Carl Sagan goes through a lot of the names for the part of the galactic spiral that we see at night in places without light pollution. A lot of them revolved around milk, but one that really stuck in my mind was ‘the backbone of the night.’ I think it might have been from an Aboriginal Australian culture, but it’s been so long I couldn’t say for sure.

It’s still around and it’s so much worse now. Just NIMBY central. I peek in from time to time to try to scope out estate sales, but I always have to leave pretty soon because the shit people say there is wild.

I don’t think so? Dude looks like he’d be a WASP if he wasn’t Catholic. Unless he was doing some internet sock puppet shenanigans or something.

Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

DEI hire just means people who weren’t white were working there. No need to parrot their spin.

Same. The 90s tried to kill me, the more time put between me and it the better.

Except you have no evidence any of that is happening here. You know he was a Cuban immigrant who has been here since he was 15 and made up the rest.

Why am I having to be in this thread explaining that collective guilt and blaming children for where they were born is deranged?

You can voluntarily renounce your citizenship at an embassy, if you weren’t aware of the option. I wouldn’t do it without citizenship somewhere else, because being stateless isn't great.

Congrats on getting out, either way!

Si no tuviera la ciudadanía, no podría haber votado.

If you only have a problem with it when it happens to the ‘wrong people’ then you have a lot in common with Trump voters 🤷‍♂️

And how tf is someone who was getting deported voting in presidential elections? Only citizens can do that.

Would that make it okay for ICE to abduct him without due process and kill him?

Keep in mind you’re talking about someone who came to the US as a 15 year old child.

It being Coeur d'Alene, my first thought is some flavor of white supremacist nuttery.
