If they were not subject to to the jurisdiction of the United States, how would the United States have the authority to deport them?

Can you hand me my wallet. It’s the one that says “Bad Mother Hubbard” on it.

Hey there decentralized digital currency systems, you wanna… centralize?

Fortunately, inflation kicked up and that’s only like ¥200.

International Rights Advocates has sued Starbucks on behalf of eight Brazilian plaintiffs who were trafficked and forced into modern day slavery on coffee plantations that supply a major percentage of Starbucks’ coffee imports.

I agree in the sense that any useful tool is a weapon in the wrong hands. I would argue (partly against my own point on religion) that current avenues open to mentally unhealthy individuals rarely count as treatment.

I would also propose that a proper handling of mental health has the potential to reduce the negative effects of both religious and authoritarian tendencies.

I mean mental health here, not just for those we consider to be sick, but for all of us as a mental “immune” system to guard against propaganda and inflammatory personalities.

Dorchester County council (SC) recently tipped Democratic in a special election. I hate to get all “correlated” up in here, but the last time that happened was shortly before Nixon resigned.

Until now, it has been before time.

Same here. I have and will always periodically reinstall no matter which OS I happen to be using. Arch is the only distro that keeps me coming back because installation and setup is such an active process.

iPXE maybe? But there’s a lot of implementation details you would have to figure out. Two that come to mind are:

1. A mobile device from which you can selectively provide an image for booting

2. A physical intrusion detection system for your home machine that you can also read remotely

You seem to spend a lot of energy questioning people’s intentions, inventing reasons to question whether people’s intentions toward you are genuine. Some do deserve to be questioned, no doubt. It just seems draining, and for what goal?

Do you aim to be the sole determiner of truth? To never be duped again? To sharpen your skills as an investigator?

How much more creative energy could you put into the world by taking people at their word in all but the highest risk cases?

With all of the perks the position entails.

Maybe even… several

Because the current administration is acting with impunity, meaning they don’t feel the need to explain themselves while they hold themselves above the law.

Yes, yes it is

Instead of poisoned kool-aid, suffocation by spray tan.

What weighs more: the cost of taking people at their word, or the effort it takes to interpret the subtext of every interaction?
