In your melodramatic fantasy, the government would be the ones putting people in “conversion camps” and post-Luigi demonstrated very clearly that the ruling elite are not allowed to be seen as subject to the same reality as the rest of us. Tim Cook won’t end up anywhere and if he does, I’ll eat my hat. Screenshot this post.
The frothing troglodyte Trump fanatics may care about stuff like that, but the ruling class don’t break ranks over petty stuff like that. Culture war nonsense is to keep the plebs divided and pliable.
It’s about it being a low effort post that doesn’t add much to the discussion. A description of why someone would want to click on the link would go a long way.
[That’s aside from the fact that the only people who seem to want to turn a nice textual discussion into a passive, ad-ridden video feed are illiterates and boomers.]
Which all comes from the temporary and restrictive nature of the visa. They’re tied to a specific employer and must leave the country if their employment with that company ends (or set up another visa with another company in a very short time).
If these people represent deficiencies in our country’s skill set, then we should be welcoming them with open arms not locking them into an exploitative indentured servitude.
Of course, removing the strong tie to a specific sponsoring employer would let them leave the company for more competitive pay and work environment, which makes the whole thing less appealing to companies. It’s also at odds with the idea of the visa serving to bring in extraordinary talent not available in the country. Needing extraordinary talent and skimping on pay don’t exactly go hand in hand.
Alyx was fantastic and is the best VR game ever made, also. You’ll enjoy it when you play it
It’s like the literal progression of the poem and people still act surprised.
Anybody care to sum this up for people who can’t watch videos?
I see what you mean about Jesse. It’s been a while since I played it, but I remember her being cast as an unwilling and unlikely hero, which can be a hard role to write well. Also, the acting was a bit stilted at first. I think she got better as it went (both the character and the voice acting).
Dude, I’m agreeing with you. Getting hung up on past wrongs that one group’s parents did to another group’s parents is totally more important than mending rifts in our society and working together for a better future for ourselves and our children. After all, it’s totally the other group’s fault anyway.
Let’s make sure to undermine any growing solidarity by taking shots at each other over race/culture war BS at every opportunity. It’d be a shame if we were all on the same side.
Look at the dumb cops in the picture with so little self-awareness that they think they’re on the same side as the CEOs.
I think it’s time we let this man have his peace. Let’s call off the search.
Oh yeah, that’s definitely a bad outcome, I agree. Thankfully retroactive laws seem to be much harder to pass.
I concur with your interpretation. But as for your final line, I’m not sure why this interpretation is unfortunate. We need to streamline and overhaul the immigration process for sure, but why is encouraging unregulated immigration a good thing?
The American people are finally united against a common threat. Don’t derail this with their “divide and rule” race war.
This case is a great reminder of who the police really work for. If/when the shit hits the fan, you know whose side they’ll be on.

I’m pretty sure the phrase “kneecapped by crap executions” is in the USB working groups’s charter. It’s like one of their core guiding principles.
I guess, man. We’ve been playing your realpolitik strategy game for the last few decades and here we are. My strategy didn’t involve electing Trump yet again…
The last president we had that appealed to “dreamers” was Obama, who had two terms and got some stuff accomplished. Since then, we’ve had a set of “pragmatic” choices who have outright lost or at least failed to keep the fascists out: Clinton, Biden, and now Harris. Should we stick with the “pragmatic” route in hopes that it starts making returns someday?
Subsidies to the health insurance industry so that we can avoid fixing our health care system.
