  • a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

    While this is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

    as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

    I’ve heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

    I’m not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

    I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it’s demonized by them.

    I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn’t get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn’t be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.


  • All you do is a quick search on the case to see if it’s real or not.

    You could easily. We have resources such as LexusNexus or Westlaw which your firm should be paying for. Even searching on Google Scholar should be enough to verify. Stay away from Casetext though, it’s new and mostly AI. LN and WL also have AI integration but it’s not forced, you’re still capable of doing your own research.

    I’ve been telling people this for a while, but everyone needs to treat AI like how we used to treat the wiki. It’s a good secondary source that can be used to find other more reliable sources, but it should never be used as your single standalone source.

    I’m not going to sugarcoat it, AI is being forced everywhere you look and it is getting a bit difficult to get away from it, but it hasn’t taken over everything to the point where there is no longer any personal responsibility. People need to have some common sense and double check everything as they’ve been taught to do even before AI.



  • This hurt me to watch and it hurts me to see people supporting Trump’s actions.

    Suppose for whatever reason that you do disagree with providing more aid. Was humiliating the leader of another nation in this manner justified at all? Were these the actions that any reasonable, dignified leader would make? You could have just refused to meet with him and told him no. Instead they dehumanized him, made him grovel and beg for support from their king full well knowing he was just going to say no anyways.

    I keep trying to look for some good in the people of this nation, to see that there’s still some humanity left, but I don’t think there is at this point.



  • A bit of an exaggeration but a lot of people will never understand that some people do not have much of a social battery left at the end of the day.

    I have had so many people including rl friends, exs, or people I used to play online games with fail to understand that I don’t have that much energy in the evenings or even on the weekends sometimes. There’s dealing with my boss, dealing with my coworkers, dealing with people from other firms. Sometimes through teams, sometimes through the phone, sometimes in person.



  • (for those curious: the Ukrainian constitution prohibits electing a president during war, it’s especially hard with 20% of the country under hostile control; and regarding Zelensky’s rating, it’s about 70% currently)

    A lot of Ukrainians have also fled the country, it makes no sense to organize this before ending the war. Why do we have to have this discussion? They are at war, marshal law is common during times of war to keep your country unified during these periods. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have vast oceans between them and their adversaries to allow for elections of their highest office to continue uninterrupted.




  • It’ll take time before the damage starts to really, really be felt.

    Federal judges across the country have issued injunctions on everything he’s been writing up at this point. We’re all just waiting for what is left of our legal process to finish, if it’s allowed to do so given the current state of things. These judges will hopefully drag their feet on any ruling. If the appeals court does the same then you’ve got a while before the scotus can do Trump’s bidding.

    Inevitably when the process either finishes or Trump bullies these people out of their posts it’ll take about a month or two. When social services get cut so that people aren’t getting their social security, can’t access or afford medications and whatever else he’s cooked up they’ll cry. They probably won’t point the finger in the right place though.







  • There’s a Pokemon episode where Pikachu tapes its tail into the heart shape to feign being a female Pikachu(was one of the handful of episodes where Ash cd’ed for something). Really just isn’t political, trans pride colors and all.

    I am saying this as someone who regularly looks at topics that are either very political or very heated or both and decides that I simply do not have the energy for discourse. Also how much of an asshole do you have to be to throw a fit over what would have likely been a very positive and wholesome thread prior to people trying to tear it down?
