You can kinda trust them if you use an archived version of it from before.

Have you ever thought of just buying

owning

Um… no, I just pirate and put everything in harddrives/ssds

Harddrives takes up less physical storage than a bookshelf full of DVD/Blurays.

(Also: I’m broke lol)

Some states prevents the governor from appointing senators. Some republican senators have Democratic governors, who (hopefully grows a spine) wouldn’t appoint a republican. Regardless, they would eventually have to face a special election. Special elections and midterm elections usually are in favor of the opposition.

Every time I pirate something x265, it looks like somebody took the pixels and threw it in the blender. Like I could notice the degredation in quality and it irritates me since it’s supposed to be 1080p.

I download the normal x264 and everything looks fine.

And I doing piracy incorrectly?

The EU needs to take up the mantle of being the protector of the democratic free world.

TV show discussions

It’s non-existent on Lemmy

Tor still works

You just have to change the circuit like 10 times.

Those specs are atrocious for that price

Just get a cheap used pixel and use Graphene OS

I don’t care about the user’s age, I care about their behavior.

There are adults here that act immature and bicker like a child, I don’t want those either.

Its easier to enforce a code of conduct and ban users with bad behavior, rather than something arbitrary, like age.

How are you even suppose to verify someone’s age without violating privacy?

Becuase they’d be leaving a population that is gonna need be in need of doctors so it kinda goes against the part about helping people.

But like, I don’t blame them for leaving.

Then: “Who would be insane enough to take on the Donnager?”

Now: “I didn’t think we’d lose”

(The Expanse Reference, sorry I love making references)

Kinda fitting tho, since the Donnager was

Yea, that’s gonna be more difficult.

My aunts/uncles in China just had to take care of my Grandmother until my mom became a citizen and filed a petition for my Grandmother. And now my Grandmother is here.

My mom also filed a petition for my aunts (her sisters) and that also would include their immediate family (their husbands and their unmarried children under 21). But seeing how the politics is now in the US, I’m not sure they would want to come when they get approved (or if they would even get approved). Unlike my parents, who worked shitty jobs in China and therefore the US is a much appealing option; my aunts are teachers, so they have like government pensions and stuff, and their kids would be over 21 when they finally get off the waitlist. (They’ve been on the waitlist for like almost a decade now. A lot has changed in politics and economy.)

I mean, they talk everyday through wechat, so its not like they are far apart anyways.

That’s a decision for a family conversation.

I was in Mainland China, I didn’t make the decision to come to the US either, since I was a kid. My parents decided and that’s it. Parent’s have to make the decision about the future of their children. If the adults agree, then move. Kids will understand when they grow up.

Learning another language was rough, but eventally, I grew to like this place. Much less pollution, much more diverse people.

(It’s a shame how politics can ruin what the US could’ve been)

Usually you can bring your immidiate family members with you (spouse and children) if its an immigration visa.

As for extended family. You can apply for your parents and siblings after a certain time residing in the new country or upon becoming citizen there.

You can also stay in touch via the internet while waiting.

If I was a Doctor, I’d just leave. Plenty of countries would welcome a doctor.

I agree. Personally this sounds pretty reasonable. I don’t want young children on here. Any expectation of anonymity on Lemmy, a social network, is not warranted.
