i learned a new word, thank you!

They will openly say this and still the US does nothing to stop it

Hmm I think it's fine if someone is a social butterfly, they don't have bad intentions etc. I am talking about someone who seems like you can trust them but actually they have other loyalties, I live in a place where people get arrested for supporting democracy for example

I am not really understanding this, anyway I am looking for a word for someone who will be friends with pro-govt and pro-democracy people and you can't trust a person like this or you will get arrested

I live in Asia, if you tell the wrong person you are a democracy supporter you can get arrested or on a watch list

sorry what do you mean? english is not my first language

I’ve had friends that were friends with ex-cons, etc.

you do you but I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who'd been in prison. If I worked in a field where they do background checks i would absolutely need to know if my friends were friends with those in prison. There's a difference between dictating who people are friends with and knowing who people you give information to are close with.

If you're friends with someone, wouldn't you want to know if they're also friends with someone problematic?

disingenuous

disingenuous could definitely be it; they're not straightforward about their intentions.

Opportunist is definitely closer to what i'm thinking than sycophant.

They keep their connections hidden; it is the other groups who when asked state that they are friendly with this person.

hi, thanks for the response. I am looking more to help Canadian families like those in rural areas or those suffering from child poverty; i am not referring to new immigrants/refugees.

For example, there are programs where you can sponsor a child in a developing country; i am looking for programs where children/families in canada can be sponsored to alleviate poverty.

my guy...

US citizens are obligated to enter the US on their US passport. They are also obligated to file taxes regardless of where they live. As a US citizen, you could be living on Mars for your whole life and still have to file US taxes.

You also have what, 6 years of back taxes to file? You should find a CPA with knowledge us US/German tax laws to prepare that for you. There may be treaties in place.

As someone else said, there's also the selective service you were supposed to have registered for

we *should *ban circumcision, it's genital mutilation and children cannot consent

don't they teach about the biological use of hair in science class to kids?

I know some Gen Z recent grads who use chatgpt to write their code.

back in my day, we had to write our code ourselves....

the brown things look like pig ears, it's a dish we have in asia in a salad kind of thing. alternatively, the black things look like cloud ear mushrooms, which is a popular mushroom we have in asia. i'm inclined to believe OP means it's pig ears because cloud ear mushrooms are not crunchy.

cloud ear mushroom

Or fries are just potato strips cooked in oil.

well, yeah? what's wrong with saying that? this is not the same point you're making about chicken breast vs chicken mash

aren't they doing it because of some agriculture spat? not strictly putin?

Some of them trash used gear that doesn’t sell. I got 3 full Kia Souls worth of used tents that just had rips or a missing rain fly for free to distro from one such store. This particular avenue is more likely if you are working with a group that can give a tax deductable credit to the store for their donation

will look into this, thank you!
