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?

He is fucking around. You know what’s going to come of this? This judge is going to be discredited and impeached, or he will be overseeing traffic court in Fargo.

This is the real cause. Tech peaked and has since gobe to dogshit monetization, ai-ification and ultimately idiocrification.

Edit: point proven. Autocorrected gone to “gobe”. WTF?

Just Florida things

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.

Naturalized citizens and trans people are definitely at the point of concern about passports being revoked

I wouldn’t mind the contact, in case this bill is not passed in Italian parliament!

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.

Because that is how you get them to leave.

The attractiveness of learning it was that you could avoid boom and bus cycles of retrenchment and clowns like Elon musk. Unfortunately that isn’t true anymore so I think once the dust settles, finding people willing to specialize in tech like this is going to get real hard.

Get an FBI background check, and get it apostilled. Easy to do from your local post office in the US, difficult and expensive to do outside the us, and you will need it for many things you might want to do in other countries

I don’t think it was the destruction of the building, but rather the implications of the inevitable maybe century to follow which would bring reduction in human rights, war, chaos, political upheaval.

One could argue that the political chaos were in right now could be traced back to 9/11. I was relatively young on the day, but still an adult who fully grasped the fork in the road this would take us down, and I was not wrong or overreacting.

It was our Franz Ferdinand.

For me too. Watching that footage where it’s live and the second plane hits and everyone is speechless trying to process. Longest 5 seconds we will ever witness, it’s 5 seconds that went from “oh my an accident how could this happen” to “the world is not going to be the same after this, there’s no going back”

Your payments are not terrible for today’s car market, and you have a practical, late model car. It doesn’t seem like you will come out ahead on getting a different car because of the transaction costs associated (registration, etc).

If you don’t drive it, it will depreciate slower and when and if it no longer meets your needs you will get more for it. You could probably get an older model for cheaper, but it will inevitably need work and you roll the dice with being stuck with an expensive repair.

You could also lease an electric car with the stupid low lease prices they are offering, but then you are still on the hook for expensive insurance and are in a worse position in three years.

Dump any extra you have into extra payments on the car for an easy 7% ROI, and use it to get groceries once a week.

Once the funding dries up the talent will be forced to leave. The question is, is Europe prepared to take advantage? I’m not so sure- the worst outcome would be talent just being squandered and the world ending up with a lost decade.

Quite the opposite in my experience. Job openings get flooded, but the people that apply just don’t have the skills. People from government and big companies seem to have a narrow sliver of experience that doesn’t translate well to solving real businesses problems with software, and I include big tech in that as well.

Call ICE and let them sort it out

Not around here, take out is going to be $40-50+ for two people even at cheap places.
