I like the fact I’m not giving some megacorp ownership of my 0 thought comments

Can confirm, my brothers are both very good at chess. One is smart, the other is dumb as rocks

It would be very unlikely to go well. I remember a case during the BLM protests where police were shooting at a random car, and the person in the car shot back. The police unloaded their clips - surprisingly no one got hurt.

But specifically regarding the law, Stand Your Ground only works if there’s an imminent threat to your body (getting arrested doesn’t count). Basically, you would have to prove that you believed the ICE agent was going to severely hurt you to justify any severe harm to the agent. I’m not sure if there’s many examples of ICE agents doing that

The craziest part is his hearing isn’t until next month. Why are they so focused on arrests if they can’t even clear the backlog?

For the second time now, I invite you to reread the part where I said people with “useful skills”: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18010515

I’m not denying that people dealt a bad hand can’t easily immigrate… But I am saying people who can immigrate seem not to. Which makes me believe their misery is their choice

Guess I’m a moron for thinking 11 months of waiting is worth a lifetime of better quality? Lol

This is what I mean by people are living in misery as a choice

Yes I’ve immigrated twice, that’s why I’m speaking from experience. No I wasn’t first in my family (my mum immigrated when she was 16 and told me what to expect)

I’ve immigrated twice. South Korea was particularly pleasant and they have a need for senior engineers

it’s just that software isn’t there yet.

I put about 2000 hours of work into $open_source_project. After a huge release 10xing the quality, we had about 1000x as many users.

The existing user base was ecstatic- for many of them, it was all they ever wanted and more. But we had 1000x new people saying “it just isn’t there yet”

Why you posting my girlfriend’s content

They used asbestos in the towers though?

Texas just defunded their rail project

Legend is missing their cape

I know you’re in denial, but the comment literally specified “100+” and “useful skills” implying you’re, you know, getting a visa. Most countries aren’t like the US where the populace will protect illegal immigrants

I, too, love victim blaming

The report said Musk sent Fong a direct message asking if she wanted to have his baby — despite never having met her in person. Fong confided in friends about the advance, and once Musk found out, he unfollowed her, and her X earnings reportedly nosedived. At the peak of Musk’s engagement with her posting, she apparently raked in $21,000 over a two-week stretch on his platform.

That’s kind of messed up

Why do people insist on staying in the US when they are so miserable there?

You have a US passport. If you’re healthy and have useful skills, you can immigrated to like 100+ countries. How many people are able to move but afraid? For them, their misery is a choice (or a hobby)

I used cp to refer to code pointer at work. Got very weird looks…

The US has immigration
