Yeah… Neither of those disprove my comment. The first article is about temporary legal status being given by a previous administration. Key word there being temporary. I’m not going to argue the morality or legality of that whole situation but those appear to be special exceptions.
Second article just proves that ICE is being racist and doing their jobs of checking peoples legal status. I did only skim the article but it didn’t appear to report that any of them actually got deported. Just detained and questioned.

They get “lost” in boating accidents.
It’s crazy how many guns are at the bottom of every lake and river.

So if I am understanding your logic correctly you believe this is the same guy behind this account as “many others”. And your proof is that they have the same writing style?
I’m sorry but I don’t think that’s gonna hold up in a court of law. Good luck with that lmao.
- Comment on Lilo & Stitch | Official Trailer | In Theaters May 23 2 weeks ago:
You can see at the end that Pleakley shows his alien form when someone hits a button so I am guessing they will have human disguises for parts of the movie because it’s harder to dress up and alien to look human in a live action movie when the animated one just had them put on a hat and sunglasses.
I’ll withhold judgement until I’ve seen the whole movie but it looks like they captured the important parts of the original. Not gonna become a classic like the original but I’m sure it’ll be fun for the kids and at least possibly entertaining for the adults.

*illegal immigrants.
We still have many immigrants coming into the country legally every day.

Number 2 spot is Germany. All of the immigrants they have ever had would need to double while not a single soul immigrated into the US for the next ~30 years.

The godfather movies.
I understand they influenced many other movies but they are just so fucking boring.

Does America have racists and dumb people within its borders? Absolutely. What country doesn’t?
Is America the most racist country? Absolutely not. Is it the dumbest country? Also no.
Nowhere is perfect. Despite all its flaws America is still the number 1 immigration destination so clearly we must be doing something right.
- Comment on How can a military buy fighter jets that the seller has kill switches for? 2 weeks ago:
99.99% of the time I am a function over form kinda guy.
I just do not like the shape of the first couple generations of the Prius.
The newest generation I actual think looks pretty good.
I can’t deny they do run basically forever. My dad got one to replace his minivan once all the kids had moved out and he is able to take him and his wife to gigs with his whole drum set comfortably in the back.
I drive his Prius occasionally for various reasons and I just don’t like it each time. I find it unsatisfying to drive and unpleasant to look, but I cannot deny it’s utility and reliability.

If only it wasn’t one of the most hideous vehicles ever made.

My aunt had a pug and it couldn’t ever breath correctly. It was always drooling and snorting just to walk around. They always thought it was so adorable and I thought it was a cruel existence to purposely create something can’t fucking breath correctly.

Yeah like another comment said there is evidence of air benders collecting moisture from a cloud so I don’t really know. Then again maybe he was water bending? He did know how to water bend by that episode.
- Comment on Why is electricity not part of the classical alchemical elements? (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water) 2 weeks ago:
The problem is heat energy/fire would kinda get all the cool shit. Like lava was given to the earth benders in LoK and I always felt that didn’t make as much sense as fire benders having access to it.
Air, water and earth all just have the one thing that really makes much sense. Water can do ice and stuff since that’s just a phase change for the element they control but what do earth and air get?

Same way you can buy a car and it can be remotely disabled by the company that made the car if they want to.
Always online always connected products are never truly 100% yours to own and do with what you please.
This is why the early 2000s Honda Civic will continue to be the pinnical of cheap transportation until the end of time
- Comment on Why is electricity not part of the classical alchemical elements? (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water) 2 weeks ago:
Electricity is pretty much just very directed fire if you think about it in a sorta abstract way.
Thats why ATLA was objectively correct that fire benders could also handle lightning.
- Comment on "Algorithms are breaking how we think" 2 weeks ago:
Whenever I want to listen to someone eloquently rant about basic home appliances and the science behind how they function he is my favorite guy to listen to.
His personal hunt for the right “feeling” led Christmas lights I totally connected with. I miss the warm glow of the older energy wasting bulbs but the LED ones always looked/felt wrong. He pointed me towards a brand that does a pretty damn good job of replicating the color temperature of the old style colored string lights without the energy costs.
Video in question for anyone else that enjoys warm colored light strings: youtu.be/qSFNufruSKw?si=g2VriQ5nQpmGBE7d

Honestly planes are a little harder. Pretty much all airspace is monitored so it’s more likely to be noticed.
Then again I haven’t smuggled drugs for the cartels in years so maybe they figured out a way around that little problem.

I’m not gonna touch the insane ramblings of the Cheeto, but I will remind you that the oceans exist and you can very easily take a boat from Mexico to Canada without ever entering the US if you wanted to.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I think the left is way too anti-american these days and I think the right needs to recognize that we aren’t always so star spangled awesome anymore either.
It’s disingenuous to pretend that America has done nothing good and are nothing but a bunch of fat racist losers or whatever they say.
But it’s also disingenuous to try and pretend like America is number 1 in everything all the goddamn time.
Since this is Lemmy I pretty much only ever see people taking huge stinking turds all over America and aggressively so. I’m not normally patriotic in any major way but listening to these people just straight up lie about America constantly starts to get to me at some point.
- Comment on How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?" 3 weeks ago:
To add to this as someone who has a friend that owns a publicly accessible fountain that needs the coins cleaned out of frequently.
He doesn’t care if a kid steals a handful of coins once in awhile. Most parents will tell their kids to put the coins back so that the person’s wishes still come true, but he doesn’t like when adults try and take coins out for any reason.
The coins are a not insignificant amount of money that helps pay for the cost of running the fountain and having adults fish out all the quarters does make the value of the coins significantly worse when it comes to cleaning time. Granted most people toss pennies to begin with.
Basically don’t dig out coins from a fountain unless you have permission from the owner of said fountain.

I kept waiting for that comment you are replying to take a turn and be a joke, but it never did. They actually believe America never admitted they did anything wrong when it came to slavery?
I too am at a loss for words.

I appreciate you reiterating my point much better than I was going to.
Very weird how some people are in denial about Lemmy and it’s treatment of users that don’t align politically with the majority.
- Comment on uhh… my ex girlfriend and long-time friend is now cishet, very christian, and makes those “i identify as” jokes regarding trans people. would it end up bad for me if i continued to be her friend? 3 weeks ago:
Asking strangers on the Internet that don’t know you or your friend to tell you if you should maintain a friendship is wild.
If you have issues with their beliefs then you don’t have to be friends anymore. If you still want to be friends go right ahead.
Do whatever YOU want to do. It’s your relationship.
