Started immigration paperwork in nov 2016, final move date April 2018, got green card Dec 2018.
It is dumb, but also I see that the line of doctors, lawyers, officials, bureaucrats all have a job to do and so are probably just trying to do something, in a job that likely has a lot of pressure to find reasons to turn down applications - both from internal factors and societal.
As someone who emigrated to marry an American - this judgement is in line with my experience. The process was long, difficult, often in jeopardy (I almost couldn’t get on the plane because in the week before I left for the US they were quibbling whether my use of antidepressants for a year which ended 6 years prior counted as disqualification criteria on public health grounds).
Then, the visa is strictly, only to fly to the US and get married, it doesn’t cover staying in the US or working in the US, those are separate processes.
I emigrated in my early 30s as a white, professional male born and raised in England.
Also, porn sites can just white label their UX/content kinda like how there’s a million pirate Bay proxies
it doesn’t need it. Anyone convinced by the argument will not be dissuaded by mere proof.
Sadly, its likely the only resolution is for them to meet with community groups regularly and form a relationship with LGBTQIA+ people that slowly changes their world view through lived experience.
ok fair, I meant - via synecdoche - the cluster of (or lack of) employment laws that make things flexible for employers works both ways.
It is very different in countries with strict employment laws
it literally says they were fired for using a mouse jiggler.
However, I live in a so-called right-to-work state, which means my employer can do whatever the fuck they like - but the flip side is - so can I.
The contract I signed doesn’t mention which or how many hours I work, just that I don’t disclose privileged information to competitors.
it’s more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn’t marketed towards men.
honestly, I preferred reddit. But I’m here out of principle.
Agree to disagree - to me the Uk office was a Gervais vehicle with the Tim/Dawn romance Christmas special episode as a nice bonus and Gareth as an occasional funny victim of his own hubris. Keith and Finchy having a couple of good scenes. Neil, Donna, Rachel, Jennifer, Jamie, Ralph… all very forgettable.
In the US office, as mentioned, I think its a well rounded ensemble comedy where you can feel it’s a collab of a writers room and a complicit cast. Everyone has their favorite moments from pretty much any character…
In the early 2000s I probably would’ve liked the UK office more because I was an edgy teen. 25 years later and after an 8 year run, 200 episodes vs 14 - I feel like I’d much rather turn on the US one if I wanted a laugh.
heres a controversial opinion: The American Office vs the UK Office.
While I respect the original, Gervais’ external antics and the much meaner, darker humor just don’t create as good a comedy vehicle that enables the viewer to laugh and have fun and enjoy themselves watching the show
no one is immune to drone bombs or sniper rifles. The best way to survive a conflict is to not be in it.
Allow me to use the same amount of brain power in my rebuttal as you used in your argument:
No.
the former is known as “audience left/right”
but allow me to use a more dated theatrical terminology:
prompt side and bastard prompt.
“too” implies
a) they don’t matter yet
and
b) mattering is a new concept we should consider.
The statement is clear without modifier and requires no qualification, clarification or context: do black lives matter or not?
Or to take the inverse: under what circumstances do black lives not matter? If the answer is “there are none” then obviously black lives matter.
I don’t get what’s centrist about LGBTQ+ rights.
Anything restricting equal rights for all based on sexuality, gender and orientation, color or creed is surely a far right, extremist position?
Whats centrist about “gay people exist?”
lemmy is not as America centric as reddit was. some of us say cunt out here.
I swear if it was up to Democrats and the Left, anyone and everyone could just cross the road whenever they want. I am talking about killing JAYWALKERS. Only in the United States is this so controversial. Go to any country in Earth and try to cross the road without a marked crossing and see how long you last. Democrats seems to think the country will fall apart and blow itself up without Jaywalkers.
I’ve had similar thoughts, but also then I was worried about legal liability if there’s drugs, violence, arson (not saying homeless are bad - these things happen even amongst middle aged middle class people)
I prefer to become a big benefactor of a charity that does good work and attend the board meetings.
paragraph 4 in the article states how they corrected for this.
