  • German teens denied entry to US for traveling ‘under false pretenses’ and ‘intended to work’: Border Patrol

    Jump

  • I was responding to the original comment above : "Having not fully booked your accommodation for the entire trip could get you denied entry to the US before Trump. Just saying. Especially if you aren’t white. Same with not having an outbound ticket."

    Not to the strip searching, abuse, etc.

    I agree it is absolutely heinous what is happening in the US and I wouldnt travel here either but the process of denying entry for a combination of limited/no accommodations, limited funds, varying answers, etc does lead to denial of entry in some countries.

  • It's not the only thing. It's a combination of limited/no living accommodations and no income. If you don't have the income to stay for 5 weeks for example, they will send you back.I'm talking like going to Australia or US with just $500 or something for 5 weeks. I can cite some episodes when I get off work today and you can see the process.

  • I unfortunately believe it may play some role too for some voters. There are Americans who still embrace their cultures, where there is an emphasis more on men being in charge. Think of some middle eastern cultures for example. And of course, there's the sexists.

    Sad reality also is there is a lot of racism still within our country...

  • I'm sort of happy for any local book stores!! The more the better but yes smaller ones preferred! They have their own unique personalities!

  • If fleeing a country, what items would have good resale value?

    Jump

  • I think its like $10k for in or out of the US and items of value

  • What is your favorite pen brand?

  • HIPAA will still and should get him terminated. It was not an accidental HIPAA violation for sure and HIPAA is one of strongest privacy laws. Healthcare gets slapped with fines all the time. They do not get ignored and most healthcare agencies have harsh policies around it. Ive known some incidents of fines, corrective actions, and terminations

  • What's the weirdest thing you have ever seen on someone's phone or computer?

    Jump

  • Our friend had his phone opened on IG. A random picture of an Asian girl with literal "airbag" boobs popped up, rather naked. Those boobs were so artificially inflated though that it reminds me of an AI image.

    We now clown him constantly

  • What's your cutoff year for reading books?

    Jump

  • No cut off. AI may have some books out there but not all. There will always be authors out there like Martha Wells, Sanderson, john Scalzi and even new debut authors all the time trying to write. Agree with other poster, you're only going to miss out by limiting yourself

  • If this was your last day alive. What would you do?

    Jump

  • Mine is similar. Just a day with my husband and dog and I will be happy.

  • What TV shows are you watching and would recommend?

    Jump

  • I just finished Only Murders in the Building. I love it. Its a whodunit with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The whole cast always feels to me like they're always having a lot of fun!

  • United Healthcare denies claim of woman in coma

    Jump

  • 100% agree. Our healthcare sucks and I won't deny that. It would be so much cheaper and more efficient to have single-payer/universal healthcare. Studies and data consistently show that Americans pay the most and have worse healthcare outcomes (especially comparing mortality rates: overall, maternal, infant, etc). People are paying into it with high premiums and still having copays, out of pocket costs, etc. Single payer is the way to go for sure.

    My job still exists in other countries like Australia, Japan, etc. But yes they dont have to worry about the healthcare services patients get being paid for or covered as much.

  • Americans struggling with student debt expect ‘much worse’ under Trump

    Jump

  • Very good point. I was fortunate enough to take a finance class in high school and be very vigilant, so theres some privledge there.

    I think its been said like 1/3 people aren't financially literate both in US and globally in general.
