  • Wikipedia is 109.89GB... You could have enough space on your phone that you're reading this post on.

  • Women tend eat smaller portions

    I can accept this at face value.

    therefore they get hungry faster

    Lost me already. On average, women need less calories. If I have a 10 gallon tank of fuel, but drive at a rate of 5gallons and hour... I will need to fill up more often than my wife that drives at 3 gallons an hours on a 9 gallon tank.

    which leads them to, more often, take the initiative to go find or make food.

    Not in my experience. I ask my wife what's for a meal as a courtesy... I'm the one rummaging through the fridge to make myself something.

  • As do I.. had a coworker message me about using adobe to merge/split pdfs... rather than walking them through the adobe workflow, just linked them right to the url... It's so easy to use that I didn't have to say anything more. they got it in seconds that would have taken me minutes of back and forth to explain to them.

    It's great. Simple tools for simple purpose.

  • It's directly relevant.

    Miranda is required by law. The law creates the responsibility.

    There is no requirement and thus no "responsibility" to post a notice of "why" onto a pop-up when you access a site. Just because me and you care, doesn't make a responsibility for the company/entity running the website to capitulate to what we want.

  • Miranda is required by law... notifying random people who visit your website isn't.

  • But if you want keep licking boots, you might just get to the center. I won’t stop you.

    WAAHHHH I have nothing to say so I'll talk about boots!

    I'm not sure why so many people have a foot fetish on the fediverse. It's kind of sad.

  • I dunno. I'm strongly a "home is where you make it" sort of thing. I couldn't care less where I was specifically born. But to each their own I suppose.

  • No pledging required. I hold 2 citizenships by birth.

    Edit: Weird to live somewhere for nearly half a century and not "feel" that it's yours... Why not just go back "home"?

  • Nothing odd about it. An Irish passport is measurably better than an American one.

    You don't give up an Irish one to get an American one.

    Source: Am dual citizen with 2 passports.

  • Its their responsibility to make clear the reason they require it.

    Not really?

    They don't have to explain anything to you (though for many of US in this bubble in specific would probably run away from a service that's so closed like this)... The vast majority of people who run into the Anubis setup will have no fucking clue what any of it means, nor give a shit about it. They just want to get to the content.

  • Other than distance traveled, the time afforded to travel said distance, and providing the requisite documents needed to cross a border(which she had)

    So then not the same at all? And we know she didn't have all the documents she needed because she had to go get some.

    It says in the article that she presented them with documentation of the expungement of her charges.

    That would have been a month after the initial detainment. That's why she had to leave to go get the documents. She didn't have it with her at the initial detainment. That's my point. She likely filled out some form incorrectly which didn't match up with what their database says. And now they are detaining her until it's cleared up by a court. It sucks, sure... but this is how it goes.

  • So leaving a town to you is equivalent to the travel it takes to leave the country? You don't see significant differences between the two? Then I can't communicate with you on that particular point. We will not come to any consensus there. Especially when you say "I never equated hometown and country. I merely used it as a metaphor" I never did... but did. Your two sentences directly contradict.

    Did she ever have a warrant out for her arrest during those times that she left the country? No.

    How do you know this? She thought her stuff was expunged. Which clearly it wasn't since apparently they pulled it up. If it's still in the records somewhere... or she reported it to them inaccurately. That's inconsistent information and I would expect agents to investigate.

  • Nobody has to do it purposefully for it to still be shitty and revealing.

    Or... and I could be wrong here...

    It takes money to create the resource they're providing and are simply asking to be paid for you to access it. At the very least to cut on bot scraping so login to prove you're not a bot.

    Doesn't have to be shitty at all unless you believe that they shouldn't be paid at all and should incur the cost of bots.

  • their hometown

    ...

    Literally history of leaving the country regularly.

    I'm just going to quote this until you read it apparently. Somehow "hometown" = "Country" to you.

  • No shit Sherlock.

    A person in law enforcement custody who is considered likely to abscond

    People who travel regularly are more likely to abscond than someone who doesn't travel at all... Why do I have to explain something so simple?

    Literally history of leaving the country regularly.

    I even noted that specifically.

  • I did read the article... but I will admit that I missed "earlier this year" specifically. But I did notice the dates that came after that.

    [...] and after returning to the US was stopped at Seattle airport on 19 March and held for three days.

    She was released to obtain documentation about the allegedly expunged convictions and presented them to Ice officials at San Francisco airport on 21 April

    She took over a month to get her documents to the officials. I now see it as much more likely that she is detained again specifically because she missed a deadline to return with the documents and they're detaining her specifically because doing that is considered a flight risk, until the matter is resolved.

  • In addition to the other post...

    You already have a setup and throwing one more docker on isn't a big deal. especially if you have watchtower already setup as well... then it even updates itself.

    I use tools like this all the time... PDF for example stirling-pdf makes doing something things a LOT easier than firing up a "proper" pdf editor. This tool would likely be the same concept for other workflows.

  • I addressed this... You can lose your green card. If immigration thinks that her green card might not be valid anymore, then it would be a crime to enter the country.

    She didn't have a visa, she had a green card (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/all-visa-categories.html - green card isn't a visa and isn't present on the visa list). And depending on the circumstances of her leaving the country she could have absolutely lost the green card, eg if she left the country for 6 months. This article doesn't provide enough information to actually understand what happened was wrong. Further since she's just a green card holder, she likely still has her citizenship to Ireland (though admittedly speculation). So no Visas would have occurred at all in this process at all.

    I'm telling you this as a person who holds dual citizenship and my ENTIRE family (except for one person) was immigrants who all fully naturalized. I understand the visa/green card process really well because my mother naturalized and I was old enough to rationalize questions on the matter and directly asked her. Similar stories for both of my grandparents though at different ages.

    It may very well be that she only left the country for a couple of days, had all the proper documentation, and filled everything out properly. Then we have issues, but we already know that wasn't the case since she had to go home to collect more of those documents and the article doesn't tell us anything meaningful further.

    And as my anecdote can speak to, even if you're naturalized/a citizen. If you say the wrong thing that can be grounds to investigate further, regardless of what administration is in office.

  • I mean I can admit like anyone else that some of Pewdiepie's "humor" around that time was pretty cringe, but he was also trying out an edgy mid-20's sort of thing. Frat bro sort of shit. I think that content was pretty shit... and he clearly thought so as well because he hasn't done it in a very very long time.

    But yes, SouthPark is king of this shit. And that's generally accepted as crude but valid criticism of society... I never understood the difference of why some forms are accepted but others aren't, that's for sure.

  • I find it funny that you're being downvoted when both upvoted responses to you contradict each other.

    She posed no flight risk

    You believe this was the first time she traveled to and from Ireland in he past 40 years?

    After getting off a plane... Not a flight risk! Literally history of leaving the country regularly.

    Regardless, 40 years here and hasn't naturalized yet? Odd... But yes if she was to have filled out a form incorrectly or differently than she had before she would be detained until it's cleared up... and immigration judges aren't really well know for having oodles of free time at the moment. So I'm not sure that length of time in detention is valid to discuss here without also talking about how we don't have enough judges for how many cases are currently open.

    But the article itself says something pretty incorrect.

    “Where people have green cards and citizenship rights there shouldn’t be an issue so we will be pursuing this on a bilateral basis to make sure that those who are legitimately entitled to be in the US are free from any challenges or difficulties of this kind,”

    That's wrong. You can lose green card status under a myriad of cases. One of them is simply by leaving the country for an extended period of time. Which the article also fails to outline how long she was in Ireland for.

    I don't see any statement from any immigration body or other officials and I don't see any evidence that this is related to her previous convictions in the article... They just bring it up out of nowhere for no apparent rhyme or reason. And since they brought it up... they couldn't confirm? What kind of reporting is this?

    the Guardian could not verify this was the case

    Why not? Seems like it would be easy to pull up a simple conviction history and see if it's there.

    But yes, your assertion that this sort of stuff happened under Biden is correct. My naturalized grandfather (Who's lived in the US for ~40 years and has been naturalized for ~30 years) flew a few times under the Biden administration and was held up by immigration at least once that I recall. Mostly because he still retains his original accent and can be hard to understand (Subject-verb-object structure is kind of optional in his native tongue and he still speaks like that's the case at times. It can be hard to follow).
