Yes.

Evidence shows both undocumented and legal immigrants in the U.S. consistently have much lower crime and incarceration rates than natives across crime categories. This trend challenges popular beliefs and highlights the importance of accurate data for fair immigration and criminal justice policies, emphasizing immigrant contributions to safety.
So, its literally true that if you deported all native born citizens and left only immigrants, the crime rate would go down.
Thus, if you deport a subset of native born citizens, the same still applies.

I am also reasonably confident that you can explain Trump’s 2020 election loss by way of the disproportionate number of COVID casualties and deaths in Red areas vs Blue areas.
Basically, if Trump/MAGA had actually responded to COVID sensibly, as sensibly as Blue areas did, on average, accounting for population density…
Trump would have actually won.
But so many MAGA voters died or were disabled from voting, by COVID, that they instead lost, snd then further went nuts, and didn’t believe it, and attempted an insurrection.

… Lime juice through an IV is probably going to be extremely painful to endure, and could just kill you.
For starters: “My blood is on fire” is roughly what that would feel like, lime juice is extremely acidic.
Beyond that: It isn’t sterile.
So you’re literally mainlining bacterial infections.
Extremely bad idea, its such a bad idea that it would basically constitute a horrific form of torture/execution.

My point is you got the causation backwards.
Women generally have a stronger preference for taller men, than men have a preference for shorter women.
But you framed the entire scenario as being caused by men.
Its… also amazing that you yourself date someone 20cm shorter than you.
So, what, if you yourself were 5cm shorter than you are, and your partner was 5cm shorter than she is… would that be such a difference that the woman would now be ‘child sized’?
Short people do just exist, the image is an intentional joke making fun of height difference that is present in this consensual relationship.
You describe this as jailbait despite the woman looking like she’s in her upper 20s or lower 30s in age.
Like, not to be rude to the woman in the picture, but how many under 21 or under 18 girls… have forehead wrinkles, bags under their eyes?

… Women generally, statistically, indicate an ideal preference to date men who are ~21cm / ~8 inches taller than themself.
www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0191886913000020
Women prefer, on average, a larger height difference between themselves and their partner (i.e. males being much taller than themselves) than men do. This effect is even more pronounced when examining satisfaction with actual partner height: women are most satisfied when their partner was 21 cm taller, whereas men are most satisfied when they were 8 cm taller than their partner.
So a roughly average height 5’4" woman, on average, would ideally pick a 6’ tall man, all else held equal.
By the same kinds of math, on average, men prefer to be ~8cm / ~3 inches taller than their ideal height female partner.
So a roughly average height man of 5’10" would ideally prefer their gal to be 5’7".
So I don’t know, you tell me why generally speaking, women ideally prefer their men to be ~8 inches taller than themself, but men ideally prefer being only ~3 inches taller than their women.

Yeah.
For about 4 months in 99 and 2000, Trump actually did try to run for President, as the candidate of the Reform Party.
Apparently it was Jesse Ventura that convinced him, and Trump stated that Oprah Winfrey would be his ideal VP running mate.

- Comment on PB&J 4 days ago:
I did try and explain how to avoid potential infections in an edit… before any insertions, make sure the involved areas, and a certain radius around them are thoroughly cleaned off of any uh, food product.
Like, clean up the whole area around people’s thighs and groin before you go ‘in’ to anything, for the gal, probably just don’t ever get any food product too directly close to where it could end up inside anywhere that has its own kind of sensitive self-regulating environment.
Sort of like with ‘never go ass to mouth’… either eat the gal out before food stuffs get into your mouths, or, have the other party just actually brush their teeth.
We had a number of disposable and non disposable towels and such on hand, beyond uh, orally prepping each other. Along with the pre prep of shower curtains, we put all our clothes into an unused garbage bag before we started… we realized that we’d only be able to lie or stand on or press against things or surfaces that we’d pre setup a shower curtain over, otherwise we’d leave a vaguely human shaped pb&j blotch on it…
…we did a significant amount of preplanning to account for just how generally messy this likely would be.
Then, the thorough shower afterward really is needed to get stuff off of the rest of your bodies, totally out of each other’s hair and such. You… kind of actually do need both people present to help the other get their hair as clean as possible, as gently as possible. If somebody has longer hair, probably tie it into a bun or ponytail or something, do your best not to intentionally palm or grab it.
Now, I cannot with any confidence speak to how well this kind of procedure would like… generally work with other people following it, repeating 10s or 100s of instances of it.
YMMV, there way be factors I am not remembering or considering that could be relevant.
Like obviously we both did not have any STDs, had been fairly recently screened, weren’t fucking anybody else in the interim.
Also, though I don’t think either of us knew it at the time… pretty sure we’re both autistic, hence the… mutual attention to details and contingency planning.
But anyway, I can say that the one time that we did this, nobody had any kind of infection afterward, yeast or otherwise.
As to Ratatat?
Perks of being a hipster, I guess, lol?

One person gets a good deal of their nude body covered in peanut butter.
The other gets jam.
You can start in little dollops on specific areas, neckline, tip of an ear, maybe tip of the nose if you’re feeling kinda funny… other areas… and then uh… clean them up… as if it was edible…
… or you can just get right down to being bread and making the sandwich.
Just make sure to keep the actual uh … lock and key, make sure they are well good and clean before you try to unlock any doors.
Don’t wanna end up with a yeast infection or any other kind of infection.
Its basically impossible to totally keep all your hair 100% clean, (unless you both use hair nets i guess maybe?), hence the thorough and rigorous and lengthy shower afterward.
Do let me know if this piques your friend’s … appetite.

I find this funny because I actually did once have a peanut butter jelly sex sandwich with someone.
Long story short, she dared me to, we used shower curtains over the bed… and floor… and took our sweet and sticky time showering off afterward.
… didn’t think to uh, make any pictures or anything of it, fortunately or unfortunately.
So uh, good memories from this image, lol.

Carmageddon is a respawnable, resetable, impermanent world.
Its a toy.
Fallout 1 and 2 are not, they are deterministic, event driven, complex, and permanent.
Its a story.
You don’t tend to care too much about if some random team mate of yours dies in a team based shooter like Battlefield or COD.
Generally, they’re all randos you’ll never see again, despite being actual human beings on the other end of a screen.
You tend to care a lot if its one of your soldiers in XCOM or Xenonauts or one of your crew from ShadowRun Returns or Fire Emblem.
They’re literally fictional characters, sometimes barely even actually characterized, but, you have history with them, shared struggles.
Your brain tends to care more about things that are harder to replace, decisions with irreversible results… morality kicks in when we realize permanence is at play.
… thats a long way of saying I do not know if there is a specific psychological term for all this, lol.

Hah, oh god I remember Rainbow Six on the N64, yes, the controls were clunky as fuck, but, it… was a pretty insane thing to even attempt a tactical shooter with specific squad commands.
I remember just basically figuring out how to map out a good engagement plan for like… an hour.
Then you hit go and basically, the game can often basically just play itself.

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark both actually have a set of control schemas…
Where you play with two of these, at the same time.
As well as a number of different one handed configurations, that essentially make it possible to play those games with hands on the left and right prongs, left and center, or right and center.
You may or may not find some of them wonky, but … yeah, it was a perhaps needlessly versatile design, though also very innovative, though also a bit weird.
I’m pretty sure it was literally the first home game console controller with an analog stick, an actual true analog stick, not counting joysticks with huge bases and a button or two.
This is also the same era where the early Mario party games had minigames where you were supposed to spin thr control stick in a circle very fast.
So uh, beyond that being terrible for the controller…
A good number of kids figured out that you can just grip the center prong and then palm the stick, move it much much faster… but also tearing through your own hand and giving you blisters.
So Nintendo stopped putting those kinds of minigames in Mario Party, and basically issued a health advisory telling people not to do that.

… Apparently they actually got sued.
… and offered to give the injured parties… gloves.

Take the smoke break.
You’re not nuts.
But most people think you are, because they are morons.
You do actually have to calm down, or you’ll end up in a psych hold, which is probably highly undesirable if you now no longer have immigration type paper work.
Think of it this way:
You are a crisis management and resolution reaponse team of one.
Seems like everyone else involved in your network, wherever you are living, is an idiot, as well as the cops you’ve talked to thus far.
Sounds like you’re probably also making backups and records of everything you can, which is good.
Now, what I would suggest is to do an inventory of what kinds of documents you lost, which can be replaced, which can’t.
The ones you can get replaced, start the process of getting them replaced.
Calmly.
Put out whatever the equivalent of a credit freeze is wherever you are, for… basically everything.
Banks, any kind of ID that’s tied to you and/or your physical address… you’re gonna need to contact all of them, try to explain what’s happened, tell them you’ve already contacted law enforcement, give them a name or number of something so they can liaise, and also take you more seriously.
Again, you have to do this calmly.
It also probably would be best to show up to as many of such places as you can, in person, to explain things, with the physical IDs and such you hopefully/presumably still have.
… This is all gonna take a while to iron out.
A marathon, not a sprint.
Eventually, what would probably be ideal is getting new bank cards, new/updated IDs, new phone number… but do not try to change everything all at the same time, otherwise their own internal systems will flag you trying to recover from an identity theft as you potentially doing fraud.
