It’s a misdemeanor though in line with being drunk at Kroger or crossing through someone’s garden without permission.

I’m a legal immigrant (to the USA), there absolutely should be a legal path to emigrate to any and all countries.

The only difference between me and her is that I could afford not to work for the 7 months between landing in the country and my green card arriving in the mail, as well as the roughly $10k in fees, and I don’t have kids so being apart from my (then fiancee, now) wife for 14 months while the paperwork went through was also not such a big burden.

Having the privilege to endure those hardships does not constitute the entirety of being a good citizen.

it’s not like physically attacking a child will neccessarily guarantee an end to your problems anyway. Like with everything: it kinda just depends

That label: “Add drop shadow”

“who’s the ideal buyer?”

“nobody”

ad tracking is only as personalized as the company running the ads

If I’m advertising fake nails, it’s personalized if you like fake nails and I advertise to fake nail fans, but if I advertise to all femme people - then it’s no longer personalized, and advertisers tend to do the latter.

I’d prefer 2008 rage comics to ai slop.

The cultural context of AI is an anathema to humor.

I dont think we have, or rather, it is superceded by other rulings, probably since 9/11

there often is no path to legality, and she is the caregiver of her American-born children.

Why would you not? Unless you were sure there were checks and balances in places to ensure it doesn’t happen. Say, something like, not tracking disabled people, and/or, not abandoning judicial process and habeas corpus, and/or respect for legal precedence and norms that affirm trust in the process

I think the intent of the comment was meant to be sarcastic? not sure

There’d have to be some significant milestones:

China would have to produce entertainment content that rivals Hollywood In Mandarin

A programming language based on Mandarin would have to gain popularity

A large diasporia of Chinese speakers

Probably a large Imperial expansion of Chinese territory to other parts of the world

A change in internet protocol to favor mandarin-speaking channels or a new communication channel to rival “the written word” “radio” “telephony” and “the internet” that is purely Mandarin

A change in medicinal practice, pharmaceutical manufacturing etc under which speaking Mandarin is easier than any other language

China would have to gain unilateral cultural cache such that kids and adults alike see China as cool, powerful, interesting, exciting, friendly, aspirational, rich and free.

british people also say “nahimsayin” fwiw.

Americans have plenty of words to add emphasis without adding meaning, yo, my dude, boy howdy.
