  • Why do you think sex is listed in passports? Do you think it is because it is important to understand the reproductive capabilities of the traveller or is it a data point that corresponds with appearance, like eye color?

    I'm trying to imagine a scenario outside maybe immigration where a country a traveler visits would need to know your "biological sex" or "birth sex".

  • If you are looking for a permanent place somewhere in Europe, it's very difficult to quickly find monthly or weekly rentals with the appropriate monthly or weekly discount you will find on Airbnb. I don't discount it's négatives, but with the paperwork burden to find a medium or long term place in many areas in Europe Airbnb does the best job of cutting through all of that and getting you a place now

  • 80 in summer during the day, 75 at night, 78 day and night in winter. We do not have heat, and 78 is required for the air conditioning to run periodically in winter to dehumidify the house.

  • It's been said before, but without due process there is not due process to determine who is and who isn't an immigrant. Also, using the word "deport" for what is happening is sanewashing. When someone is deported, they get sent back to their own country or a country of convenience where they can continue productive life in some capacity.

    What we have here is a gulag. Folks are being rounded up due to informants and being disappeared to a secret prison without any oversight. Are there American citizens "mistakenly" on the "deportation" flight to the secret prison where there is generally no contact? Who can say?

  • It's usually worth it because

    1. You include court costs in the amount you sue for
    2. You include the highest possible rate for your time in the amount you sue for
    3. You include all incident expenses

    Plus, the landlord has an asset you can put a lien on in case of non-payment, the place you rented. It's not the same as suing someone with no assets where the debt is uncollectible.

    NAL, just a former renter who got screwed over a few times, then stopped getting screwed over after I figured out that court is actually good for tenants and bad for shady landlords.

  • NAL, but always sue, and sue for more than you are owed. Court is a negotiation and judges do not take kindly to landlords trying to pull a fast one and landing in their court.

    I have done this myself to a scammy corporate landlord and they settled out of court after a barrage of threatening letters, subsequent "you sued the wrong party", and "we're willing to drop what we were going to charge you if you drop this case" letters. I ended up about $400 up including court costs for filing and serving, just for ignoring letters.

    Private landlords, who I've also sued, are much more naively willing to go in front of a judge. If you have any case at all, the judge is likely to eat the landlord alive- unless you are a deadbeat tenant you will walk out of court probably with 3x damages.

  • So just for the record, a trans woman is too strong for "women's" sports teams, but if she exceeds the new physical standards she still can't enlist? Sounds like DEI for cis people to me.

  • No, this process takes 10-15 years for an applicant to get permission to enter the US, and once the applicant is in the country, the residency application takes as much as a year, well past the expiration of the initial travel authorization.

    During this limbo period, it is best to hide from law enforcement to avoid ending up in a deportation camp in el Salvador or Guantanamo.

  • Actually the only time I've ever needed one is outside of the country. You need a police report from anywhere you lived for more than six months to apply for residencies, get teaching jobs, etc etc. the only authority in the US that can do this and provide a report acceptable outside the country is the FBI.
