  • See, you know how to enjoy a vacation. No inhibitions. No worries. Just relaxation. Delta charge you extra for your luggage? Time for a biohazard event! So freeing.

  • I said nothing about potentially holding your device - reread the comment you replied to - but they cannot use that as the reason to deny citizens reentry. We can have a discussion about if the administration is following the rules of law, but by law, border agents cannot deny you for this reason.

    So hostile, for no reason. Channel that anger into something constructive, yeah?

    Also lol if you think anyone here thinks we are in anything close to a utopia, you should switch careers to comedy :p

  • Straight from the ACLU:

    Do I have to provide my laptop passwords or unlock my mobile phone for law enforcement officers at the border?

    Customs officers have sometimes asked travelers to provide their laptop passwords or unlock their mobile phones when they are entering or leaving the United States. Your legal status in the country may inform what you decide to do if you’re asked for a password to unlock your device. U.S. citizens cannot be denied entry to the United States for refusing to provide passwords or unlocking devices. Refusal to do so might lead to delay, additional questioning, and/or officers seizing your device for further inspection. The same should be true for those who have previously been admitted to the U.S. as lawful permanent residents and have maintained their status — their green cards can’t be revoked without a hearing before an immigration judge. [...]

    The reason why you have 'heard this idea' is because it's true :P

  • *regarding paragraph 1+4: this is true for travelers visiting the US (which is what the article is aimed at but, for clarity), but not returning citizens. They can hold the device, but have to fold and let citizens re-enter.

    Also, an alternative to not carrying your device is to just wipe it before boarding/reaching your port of entry. Let them pretend to be Hollywood csi detectives and image a freshly-wiped phone. Then restore from a backup later.

  • you Americans

    so you aren't American yourself, but you think you know our situation better than us? interesting logic there...

  • For me - don't take this as the norm - I find friends through gaming, we become good friends over time, I'll progressively 'lower my guard' and, as part of this process, make more and more sexual jokes and innuendos. Depending on how they react, it might stay at 'teehee I'm still 13 making pp jokes', or it might advance to the 'so I think you're into some freaky shit, I'm into freaky shit, wanna bang?' friends with benefits territory. If that goes okay, I'm almost certainly catching feelings, and thus 'want to be a couple' is the next step. A few shared or similar interests, or an interest in each other's interests, is important too. Can't be pounding like rabbits all the time...

    Basically, I eat the desert first, and then have the main course. If we aren't sexually compatable in some aspect, it is stupid to be dating, in my view. No need for hurt feelings or awkward breakups. And falling back to fwb is easy if we don't work out for other reasons. Just because you like pet spiders and I want to light them on fire (eek) doesn't mean that we can't wake the neighbors with our moans and screams.

    yes, I'm ruining the joke by explaining what it says off-screen. next week, we will go over how nobody actually died in the film Titanic and therefore it's stupid to get emotional about it.

    please, hold your applause.
