  • It will be 50 pages of information including blood work, urine tests, xrays, and FBI background checks.

    Um, no. I've done visa and citizenship paperwork, it's not easy, and you're right that you need a compelling case for why you should be accepted. But I've never heard of requiring that extensive of medical checks for visa applications, especially not for from countries that have developed medical systems. Though some countries do require medical records. You're right often a background check is required, but in my case at least, an apostilled affidavit where I just promised I was a good boy was accepted.

  • Regardless, if one side was like "That's really annoying to me, could you not please?" responding with "womp womp" is extremely rude and selfish.

    It is narcissistic of me to assume something annoying me should influence the behavior of strangers, and get them to stop doing something. A lot of things annoy me, and I'm all for criticizing and complaining about them(I do that a lot)- but someone not caring about my complaints and continuing to do what they enjoy is their right, and they aren't a bad person for not caring that it annoys me.

    I'm sensitive to smells, we all recognize how unreasonable it would be for me to demand my neighbors don't smoke weed because it bothers me at home, or I can smell cigarettes on the bus. Similarly, yes demanding people stop doing something they enjoy with their family because you have to wear headphones for a couple hours once or twice a year is something that I want to say "Womp womp" to

  • I imagine that if you had a dog you wouldn’t be “womp womp” about torturing it two or three times a year.

    Or if you had a friend with PTSD, you wouldn’t go out of your way to aggravate that a couple times a year.

    These were not the arguments you presented. Those arguments I am more empathetic to. You said:

    I don’t like the loud noises, the smoke, or the debris leftover.

    To which I want to say "Womp Womp"

  • To ignore slave owner and slavery apologists we'd have to get rid of all abrahamic religious holidays leaving... Juneteenth, Labor Day, MLK Day, and Veterans Day. Those are fine holidays- but not exactly the most festive/family fun.

    I think the British(under Churchill) made starvation of hundreds of thousands of colonial subjects was horrible, those same people can still be celebrated for fighting Hitler though.

  • What state portrays US history as utopian in the past 20 years? I grew up in Kentucky and definitely got a lot of stuff about slavery, Native American betrayals and murders, civil rights, Mexican American war, Hawaiian colonization, the only reason they didn't cover the Vietnam war or Filipino is because they ran out of time from assigning pointless art projects.

    Edit: Other stuff that was covered, bonus army, workers rights and child abuses

  • I'm not ok for every kid in the neighborhood having access to little explosives.

    Backyard rocketry is imo something to be celebrated, a bit less if it's just buying premade fireworks, but kids learning chemistry and engineering in an exciting way isn't bad- it also helps with developing a sense of responsibility when you will probably mess up and hurt yourself
