- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 days ago:
On the one hand, it has to be a mistake, right?
On the other, malicious harassment of an immigration lawyer with a “foreign” sounding name is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect right now.
Absolute best case scenario for this administration is that they are prone to making stupid, dangerous, embarrassing mistakes that will end up getting someone hurt or worse. And that’s giving them way more benefit of the doubt than they’ve earned.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 5 days ago:
President Mike Johnson outlaws women going out in public alone and institutes daily Bible reading classes. Attendance is mandatory if you don’t want to end up in an El Salvador slave prison.

- Comment on Will Box Office Rebound? Captain America, Black Bag, Mickey 17 Struggle 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been wondering how continued cord cutting is playing a role in the movie business. It seems like live TV was one of the more aggressive marketing avenues for upcoming movies, but with fewer and fewer people watching traditional TV (and the ads they bring) there is bound to be some level of collateral damage.

- Comment on Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5 5 weeks ago:
FH4 and 5 are effectively MMOs. There is plenty to do alone, and the other players can mostly be ignored, but it’s still a shared world.

- Comment on what is the actual name of this type of „logic”? 2 months ago:
In addition to the others this is also an association fallacy.

For example, a fallacious arguer may claim that “bears are animals, and bears are dangerous; therefore your dog, which is also an animal, must be dangerous.”

- Comment on you are the democratically elected leader of a liberal democratic country which so far has had a good relationship with the US, how do you and your country survive 4 years of trump? 2 months ago:
It’s probably a good thing I’m not a national leader because the first thing I’d do is recall all diplomats and cut off relations. He wants isolationism? Give it to him and let him feel it for real, not just his tough-guy head-canon version of it.
Use whatever human rights violation justifications necessary (shouldn’t be hard) to hit the US in the wallet. Cut off US businesses from customers abroad. Expel military personnel. Pull travel visas. All the tricks America uses against everyone else. Make the people feel the inconvenience of not being a world citizen.
- Comment on Are there specific terms for the different types of monetary inflation? 2 months ago:
Your first type (treasury) isn’t typically used as a growth percentage that one would typically think of as ‘inflation’ AFAIK.
That’s a metric more widely referred to as ‘money supply,’ and it has a number of different types even within that (M0, M1, M2, etc), depending on if you’re talking about simple cash, bank deposits, and other liquid assets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply#Measures_of_mo…

I haven’t played the remake, but the original AoM is the only RTS I’ve ever played for more than a game or two. Is the Retold version a real upgrade? Worth the cost of buying again?

Wait 'til you see the child size soda.
It’s 512 ounces, or roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It’s a real bargain at $1.59.

Australia is on the underside of the earth. “Down Under” isn’t just some funny saying.
The flip over the edge happens near the island from Lost. New Zealand is in a superposition, existing on the top and the bottom, and also neither. That’s why some maps don’t include it at all.

Best - find a new job and quit when the new one is all lined up.
Next - get laid off and collect any severance and unemployment benefits while you search.
Worst - quit with nothing else lined up, struggle while you get back on your feet. - Comment on Reddit morals vs Lemmy morals in the greentext community 4 months ago:
