I know it should have been earlier, but that really is the last straw for buying Nintendo products for me.
what a shame.
- Comment on GUYS I found Candy Mountain, who wants to go in with me? 4 weeks ago:
I laughed at this, but now I might actually show it to her.
the longer that story goes on the less ridiculous it seems. I have a more favorable impression of the skibidi toilet series than I do of the official transformers movies.

I just got to show this to someone yesterday for the first time.
they were confused, but want to keep going.

- Comment on What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good? 5 weeks ago:
memeoffice.
didn’t think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.
I actually didn’t even know office could build something that complicated.
thanks

huh, i much prefer libreoffice to msoffice, i can’t even think of a reason why anyone could prefer msoffice.
Im a but gobsmacked at the notion.
what do you use the drawing for?

- Comment on Remember when she fucked up the economy 1 month ago:
thank you I was wondering about the public reaction to the mines closing, since it does seem like a good thing on its face, no you’re absolutely right that a problem doesn’t need to be handled the hardest way.
interesting to hear about the cycle coming around again with steel workers now.
that was a great write up and an appreciated explanation, have a good one!
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
You’re incorrect, residency and language fluency are not new residency requirements for Italian citizenship, although the proposals I brought up(that have not been signed into law yet) are being expanded specifically for ancestry petitions.
You can try again.

nothing says they were.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.
The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.
thanks!

that’s the article I was originally referencing.
did you read something different?

Thanks, I meant intentional deportations of US citizens.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
yea, those are all the restrictions I mentioned above.
as far as I’m aware it’s just the “great” part that changed.
but those citizenship restrictions are no less onerous and still a great deal easier than most pther countries.
basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
oh shoot I just thought they got rid of the “great” part and you can still become a citizen if you have italian grandparents, what are the new restrictions?
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
Italy and Ireland were like the last two countries that you could claim citizenship through great-grandparents, but I think Italy just ended it this year.
thanks for posting this, it’s the first I’ve heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.
I’m looking into related posts to find corroboration and explanation for the term “parole” used here.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 month ago:
not with regard to this specific situation, since white people have been deported or turned away due to their visa status, but under this administration anyone not white should feel way more targeted than they might be under other administrations.
- Comment on Could you grind up a loaf of bread back into a flour and make a new loaf of bread? 1 month ago:
pretty rough and crumbly and crappy.
it was impossible with the kitchen tools I had on hand to grind it into a fine enough flour to my liking, I just had a generic blender, but my whole reasoning for the experiment was “i bet I could make bread out of bread.”
and it was moderately successful in that regard. what emerged was properly identified as bread.
although I chucked most of the loaf in the trash because that was its flavor profile.

i did this! yes.
- Comment on Remember when she fucked up the economy 1 month ago:
wow, yes I appreciate you adding that context, that’s some important information to know
- Comment on Remember when she fucked up the economy 1 month ago:
wow, that’s crazy. thanks for the video, i just watched it.
if thatchers goal was to close the mines, wouldn’t miners voluntarily not working play into that?
or does strike in this context mean general protest rather than specifically not working?
- Comment on Remember when she fucked up the economy 1 month ago:
got it, thanks for the broad strokes and context

can one of the Brits lay out bullet points or just a short list of why Thatcher is so universally hated by the uk?
I really only know the memes and I’m finally curious about the substance.
thank you.
