Tue 00:37:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 105 points an hour ago*
Tue 00:37:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I’m an immigrant from the USSR. It never occurred to any of my family to go out waiving the Soviet flag. On the contrary, we never wanted to see one again. We were (still are) so grateful to be here that we wanted to learn English and assimilate and become Americans. Not Soviet- American, not Ukrainian-American, not Russian-American, but American.
Tue 00:37:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It’s mind boggling that someone can come here illegally, demand benefits, insist on being allowed to stay while waiving their home country flag and trashing America, attacking our citizens, lashing out at our police. How is that even remotely acceptable?"
Tue 00:37:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Tue 00:39:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, all these people that hate us come here, demand stuff, trash talk us, and fly the flag of the shitty country that they hated so much that they left.
Tue 00:39:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It is unbelievable that we even allow this.
Tue 00:39:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They should be dropping so much tear gas on these crowds waving foreign flags around that they run screaming the other way across the border.
Tue 00:40:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you don't want to live there, don't wave their flag. If you want to wave a Mexican flag, wave it in fucking Mexico.
Tue 00:40:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ freedom of speech?
Tue 00:40:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's going away.
Tue 00:40:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm not mad that Mexicans want to live here, so to speak.
Tue 00:40:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so i wouldn't worry too much about it.
Tue 00:41:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, the "conservative" method to keep people out of the country is being implemented already
Tue 00:41:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they should have to bring something to the table. Not just be perpetually needy and waving huge-ass flags in our face, Mexican flags.
Tue 00:41:13 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (make the country so shit that nobody will want to live in it)
Tue 00:41:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Refusing to speak to us in English.

Tue 00:41:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i suspect the people who hire them believe they do bring something to the table
Tue 00:42:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Probably.
Tue 00:42:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lower wages for American workers.
Tue 00:42:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's the only reason the companies like Walmart preferentially hired all those illegal immigrants Biden gave TPS to.
Tue 00:42:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump took it away and Walmart had to disgorge itself of them.
Tue 00:42:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And now wages are climbing again.
Tue 00:43:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because there's fewer people they can threaten you with who want jobs.
Tue 00:43:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm certainly no fan of Trump, I hage Kristi Noem...
Tue 00:43:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I would have taken the TPS away from all those people and give them their bag and baggage letters too.
Tue 00:43:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *hate
Tue 00:43:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We don't need 5 million people here who have no legal future in America.
Tue 00:44:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Who will get old but don't qualify for Social Security.
Tue 00:44:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they can get going now.
Tue 00:44:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And this also takes some of the strain off our welfare system.
Tue 00:44:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because without TPS they have to stop using food stamps and Medicaid.
Tue 00:45:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, I don't want 6 million Biden Peasants here.
Tue 00:45:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Bidding down wages by several dollars an hour, as all my bills go up.
Tue 00:45:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Fuck that.

Tue 00:47:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ok, but have you updated the formatting of the cover sheet of the TPS report?
Tue 00:51:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'll just go ahead and get you another copy of that memo, mmkay? Great!
Tue 00:51:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My landlord, only white.
Tue 00:51:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's just that we're trying to optimize my lipid before I have a stroke.
Tue 00:51:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Can't check out too early. The tenants might have some money left to steal and give to my son.
Tue 00:51:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Tue 00:52:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *lipid panel
Tue 00:52:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's all rich people do is steal from people "lower" than them and pass down stolen money to their vile children.
Tue 00:53:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Tue 01:01:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So his son is some nepo baby who is only racially Indian.
Tue 01:01:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's never been to India probably and wouldn't like it if he did go there.
Tue 01:01:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He won't ever have to work and his dad is likely raising a monster.
Tue 01:02:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ironic how the only real monsters don't have an entry in the Monster Manual
Tue 01:03:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, asshole landlord from India isn't in there.
Tue 01:03:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It would be considered offensive.
Tue 01:03:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Therefore you can't talk about what everyone fucking knows.
Tue 01:04:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I told my physical therapist all about him.
Tue 01:04:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said I have designated him a skinflint and a feather merchant.
Tue 01:04:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She asked what that meant.
Tue 01:04:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said a skinflint is a person who does not want to spend money and tends to extort money from others, and a feather merchant is a person who is lazy and doesn't want to do any work.
Tue 01:25:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Once he optimizes the lipid panel he can milk the cash cows and execute more 1035s.
Tue 01:25:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A life well lived, contributing to the economy.

Tue 02:49:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, So the landlord is basically warning his investors that mass deportation is not good for his business.
Tue 02:49:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because it lowers the heat on the rental market.
Tue 02:50:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When they're too scared to show up at work or have their work permits revoked there's less of them that can afford a house.
Tue 02:50:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or apartment.
Tue 02:50:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When people get deported, there's less that need one.
Tue 02:50:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] what does dave ramsey say?
Tue 02:50:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So suddenly the rental market is no longer red hot.

Tue 02:50:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or did jim cramer say that?
Tue 02:51:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They avoided building much.
Tue 02:51:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At the same time Biden let over 6 million people come pouring in.
Tue 02:51:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Too many people competing for not enough stuff = massive price hikes.
Tue 02:51:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I do agree with my dad on that aspect of it.
Tue 02:52:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "You'd better pray they can get them out of here fast before they completely drain us."
Tue 02:52:26 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ "These things are largely unreported because of fear and people don't speak of for fear of their job or being labeled a bigot or "co-n."" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k139h48h

Tue 02:53:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They made life hell for citizens, so the birthrate crashes.
Tue 02:54:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only ones who were having kids were idiots and immigrants.
Tue 02:54:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Both for the same reason.
Tue 02:54:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're used to living in hell anyway.

Tue 02:55:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Anywhere they ended up would be better, including Mexico.
Tue 02:55:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mexico offered to take them all in.
Tue 02:55:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they kept going to the US because it was never about asylum.
Tue 02:55:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When it's asylum you apply at the first safe place that offers you help.
Tue 02:55:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mexico is safer and more stable than Venezuela.
Tue 02:57:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Pretty much every country on Earth, even Russia, has refugee travel documents.
Tue 02:57:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're basically like a passport.
Tue 02:57:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The one in the US is a green book that cites the treaty and is granted by the Department of Homeland Security.
Tue 02:58:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But no treaty requires us to approve any particular case.

Tue 08:00:48 │ 〖geert〗 │ also, i don't think sexuality is prescribed in dna, such as hetero sexuality or otherwise, i think dna kind of describes gender, not sexuality though
Tue 08:01:21 │ 〖geert〗 │ to me sexuality more of seem nurture effects so to speak, with i think quite much evidence around
Tue 08:02:17 │ 〖geert〗 │ imagine e.g. about that tribe in africa where women kinda get off to LARGE bellies with men
Tue 08:02:46 │ 〖geert〗 │ if a girl or boy who got born in western countries with western dna so to speak grows up there, they will most likely follow up to those nurture effects
Tue 08:03:27 │ 〖geert〗 │ thats also how i think people would appear more paedophile when growing up in areas where it is considered more socially acceptable
Tue 08:04:02 │ 〖geert〗 │ or people born in those areas would appear less pedo when they would grow up in areas offering them different social constraints
Tue 08:04:30 │ 〖geert〗 │ i think sexuality is kind of similar to taste development, if a kid with whatever specific dna grows up in particular areas in thailand, this kid is likely to enjoy hot food at young age
Tue 08:05:18 │ 〖geert〗 │ if the same kid (or say e.g. other twin dna) grows up in areas where this hot spicy food is less appreciated, the kid is most likely to reject the same hot foods in the same age, with the same dna
Tue 08:05:49 │ 〖geert〗 │ i think with sexuality it is pretty similar, which development i see related to social / cultural constraints

Tue 08:09:30 │ 〖geert〗 │ e.g. one might get to consider how specific sexuality issues were considered (much) more of socially acceptable throughout western countries many years ago..
Tue 08:10:02 │ 〖geert〗 │ such as in regard to forced marriage, the practice of parents giving their childs away to others to gain/maintain social status etc.
Tue 08:10:20 │ 〖geert〗 │ at staggering young ages even, pretty much part of much western history
Tue 08:11:36 │ 〖geert〗 │ i even got information about it already being considered way past established science in some supposed 'world leaders' eyes, who currently appear to try misposition sexuality stuff to instill conflict to exploit with
Tue 08:12:41 │ 〖geert〗 │ who pretty much deliberately try keep it from many common faculty peoples eyes, likewise to subjects as what somewhat sensationally gets called psychotronics or still trying to position current economical system as if anything like capitalism
Tue 08:13:32 │ 〖geert〗 │ basically trying to keep issues in tact, considering knowledge as power, lusting for power disguised as if eager to know, trying to keep issues in tact to try keep others from the knowledge they consider their power so to speak
Tue 08:15:38 │ 〖geert〗 │ like e.g. some state that during conflict more rapid development would be achieved, in partly such manner aiming for conflict as if profitable, shifting approach from conflict as undesirable that should be mitigated as common interest to conflict as desirable / profitable that should be directed to maximize common interest perspective
Tue 08:16:14 │ 〖geert〗 │ 'some state' should rather be formulated as 'some people stating'
Tue 08:18:49 │ 〖geert〗 │ to describe in another manner; some say conflict is basically inevitable with humans and thus pretty much constantly happening though the ones constitutionally positioning conflict as undesirable hence enforce themselves to follow up on the inevitably happening conflict then directed by others as opposed to those who embrace the conflict as inevitable who try to direct it pretty much taking lead and
Tue 08:18:55 │ 〖geert〗 │ forcing others to follow up, some say such 'taking lead' would be AND more profitable plus they direct instead of follow up others so to speak
