So that’s how the US leaves NATO

Ah bon! Merci :)

Don’t fuck ICE in the sexual sense of the expression. Those incels can fuck each other

Cybertrucks are (supposedly) deadlier than Ford Pintos so it really depends on the comparison

Keep a reflective umbrella in the passenger seat. When an asshole with death beams tailgates you, have the passenger open it across the back seats

To test the --no-preserve-root safeguard. It’s like playing Russian roulette

I’ve only blocked a few people, but I’m quick to tag people as assholes/MAGA

That’s a different group of people. If you want to cut them off, take a look at who CPC leadership is working with

Oui c’est ça. J’ai décidé tôt que je voudrais apprendre le français pendant mon séjour. J’adore l’apprentissage culturel et je parle déjà une autre langue, l’espagnol. J’ai plusieurs amis québécois qui m’aident et je prends aussi des cours pour adultes maintenant (j’habite en Ontario). Le français est tellement fascinant, je l’apprend depuis 2024 :)

(Veuillez excuser mes torts)

We had a lawyer help us with the documentation to make sure it’s airtight, but that cost is optional. Other than that we had costs for each record we requested - both in the US and Canada. The cost to request a formal birth record from Quebec alone (via the BANQ) recently went from $30 to over $300

Overall it’s nothing crazy as far as immigration is concerned, but it’s not nothing

I helped my partner apply earlier this year (as the law is still relatively new). As a warning, since then, the costs associated have skyrocketed due to the number of people applying. You better be ready to dig up all the birth/marriage records to prove it. For us, this also required parsing through old Québécois church logbooks written in liturgical French. Wait times have also gone up across the board, the current wait time once you apply is over a year

That said, I did quite enjoy the research and I’m happy to say que mon français est assez bon pour lire un ancien document écrit à main pendant les années 50

Edit: we applied since we already live here

Because these are things that real people say wholeheartedly

The difference is that we have all the tools and resources to not live like caveman nowadays. We could feed everyone if we wanted to, but the government would rather fire another barrage of missiles at impoverished people

Thank you for saying this, I was gonna comment something similar. Machine learning has some actually good uses but it gets so completely overshadowed by pop AI that it’s hard to discuss in nuance.

For the record, I’m as anti AI as it gets. I used to work in it in tech (not by choice) until I got laid off. But I acknowledge it has some legitimate uses, generally in the sciences and medicine (I don’t mean those stupid AI transcribers)

It’s just another thing that popular AI has tarnished

This was in Ontario, California if I’m not mistaken

Edit: Yup

He’d replace them with bike lanes just to have the opportunity to rip up yet another bike lane

I hate Kamala, I think she’s a terrible candidate and don’t disagree that she would’ve just bought us more time. But it’s easier to fight back with a persistent cold than with supertuberculosis.

Because Trump got elected, my partner and I uprooted our lives, said goodbye to a massive community of people, gave up multiple career prospects, and moved to another country. I’m a trans latina immigrant in a gay relationship, so enemy of the state #1. The battle isn’t over either as we’re now dealing with immigration. I’m not legally allowed to work so I’m just living off savings right now, and effectively starting from 0. I still worry about my friends back home, many of which are also trans immigrants but who lack the opportunity to move, who are now scrambling to stockpile meds and fighting daily to continue living. I’ve had to talk friends down from suicide. I have never cried as much as I have in the last year. And I’m just one person.

So thank you for that, your direct lack of action contributed to it. I hope your horse was worth the blood on your hands. You’re no better than the other centrists eager to throw us under the bus while calling it “progress”

My best pair of sunglasses are a pair of dark lenses with a snake motif that I got at a thrift shop for like $15. Keep them in a glasses case and they won’t get scratched.

Fwiw, if I see someone wearing fancy looking thick black rectangular lenses nowadays I assume they’re a predator thanks to Meta

You’re thinking about yourself for the next couple years,

How dare I think about my own desire to not starve to death in a repurposed K-Mart

When you take responsibility for contributing to the fear many of us are feeling. Many of us have been forced to relocate or even flee the country because the government wants us dead. You essentially decided that one genocide wasn’t enough, and when shit really hits the fan, you better be on the fucking front lines

I have the same words for DNC leadership
