Sat 22:15:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article310501590.html
Sat 22:15:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're not technically wrong.
Sat 22:15:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The government has always had the right to put people with green cards into proceedings to lose them for a serious criminal record.
Sat 22:15:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ To some extent it is a privilege. They have no right to put you in proceedings until you decide to become a problem with the law.
Sat 22:16:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But then, it's up to them.
Sat 22:17:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've been advising people that if they have anything on their record that's even technically a crime, do not leave the US and try to come back in because CBP can make an issue out of things ICE probably never will.
Sat 22:17:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they know exactly where you are at and you are not technically inside the US.
Sat 22:18:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article310993130.html
Sat 22:18:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're tightening up on public charge and fees for benefits including green cards and US citizenship.
Sat 22:19:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I do agree with the part about charging some nominal processing fees for asylum.
Sat 22:19:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's being abused.
Sat 22:19:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Anyone can say they fear going back, and up until now you just file a form, for free, even when it's obviously going nowhere, but they gave you a court date 12 years from now and a card that said you can work.
Sat 22:20:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now they will charge $100 for the filing, $100 per year it remains undecided, $565 for a work authorization, and $225 every 6 months to renew that authorization.
Sat 22:21:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If they're going to be here while their case plays out, it makes sense that they pay for that. It's not "free" to taxpayers to have someone here competing with people who are already on the fringes of employability filing all sorts of bullshit forms.
Sat 22:22:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Walmart managers are already screaming that their ignorant disposable workforce of grateful peasants who are glad to be anywhere other than Haiti just lost their permission to fill jobs at Walmart.
Sat 22:23:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If Walmart is laying off thousands of people and going on a hiring freeze because the economy is getting really bad, then why did we have nearly 4 million people who are basically illegal non-immigrants with some sort of pseudo-status who were not even paying for the privilege to be here?
Sat 22:25:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Told my dad:
Sat 22:26:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Yeah, I had a nail go into my left knee once. It was painful. I'm glad that doctor gave me the Tetanus series when I was in the hospital over a workplace accident or that might have turned into an above-the-knee amputation.
Sat 22:26:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Worse than shoulder reconstruction... I would imagine.

Sat 22:35:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The ones who can barely read or write stay where they are and support Hamas and Crime Minister Netanyahu.
Sat 22:36:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The ones who can educate themselves and get out are not a representative sample.
Sat 22:36:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like that woman on Instagram in Israel, running towards the bomb shelter with a selfie stick, smacked herself in the head on a lamppost because she wasn't looking at where she was going.

Sun 21:25:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The hit and run is two crimes, at least.
Sun 21:25:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One for hit and run, and one for failure to report an accident.
Sun 21:25:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Those sound like the same thing, but they're actually not.
Sun 21:26:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you fled the scene and called 911 within a certain time frame it wouldn't be failure to report, but it would be leaving the scene.
Sun 21:26:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So people flee because they're drunk.
Sun 21:26:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it's better to stop and call 911 even if you're drunk.
Sun 21:27:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You'll get in way less trouble for drunk driving than you will for fleeing and failure to report.
Sun 21:27:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So, the law is set up like this on purpose.
Sun 21:27:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Out of one incident, there's potentially between 3 and 7 criminal charges that could potentially come from it.
Sun 21:28:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They do this because it makes it easier to get you to plead down in exchange for almost nothing in return.
Sun 21:28:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If there's only one crime on the indictment, you have not only less incentive to take a guilty plea, but the prosecutor has more incentive to come way down because he could only take one thing to trial.
Sun 21:29:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But when it's 3-7 charges, then you have a lot less room to negotiate.
Sun 21:29:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they'll hit you with everything it could possibly be.
Sun 21:29:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They know that you know you won't get away from all of it.
Sun 21:30:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's why they're so good at "winning".
Sun 21:30:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have ways of making innocent or "not so bad" people admit to things and try to move on.
Sun 21:30:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It may seem crude, but the sledgehammer is the only tool they really need.

Sun 21:36:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 21:36:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hitler in a biomechanical suit with twin chainguns.
Sun 21:37:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Best boss fight ever.
Sun 21:37:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 4 chainguns
Sun 21:37:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh, did he?
Sun 21:37:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ he drops down to 2 when the armor's destroyed
Sun 21:37:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (of course, what id calls "chaingun" is actually a gatling gun)
Sun 21:37:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 4 with hitscan damage is pretty severe.
Sun 21:37:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 21:38:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ How does it calculate a hit in that engine?
Sun 21:38:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sun 21:38:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Do all of them hit if you're in the line of sight?
Sun 21:38:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's probably documented online but i don't know
Sun 21:38:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or does it calculate hits and misses as well?
Sun 21:40:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "While his sprites suggest he would cause more damage when armored, in fact, he doesn't. The armor is most likely an excuse to give Hitler an amount of HP much higher than that of the other bosses. Both his forms combined have close to double the HP of Hans Grösse."
Sun 21:40:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, So whether Hitler has four or two chainguns, he causes the same damage.
Sun 21:40:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 21:41:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "In the 2nd Encounter episode of the Mac Family, Hitler is always the ultimate boss. The censored SNES port renamed Hitler to Staatmeister (Adolf Trautmann in the Japanese version) who uses Hitler's sprite, though edited somewhat - he lacks a mustache and has a completely redrawn death animation. The paintings of Hitler in the SNES port were also changed, Staatmeister has no mustache nor swastika armband."
Sun 21:41:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh gee, the Staatmeister.
Sun 21:41:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wonder who that could be.

Sun 21:47:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ “People are going to die. Some people are going to go untreated,” Alicia Hardy, chief executive officer of CommuniCARE+OLE clinics in California, said of the state’s Medicaid changes. “It’s hard to see the humanity in the decision-making that’s happening right now.”
Sun 21:47:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Communicare shouldn't use Object Linking and Embedding.
Sun 21:47:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's been obsolete for years.
Sun 21:48:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I mean, they still use Windows 3 and wonder why government IT isn't wrotking very well?
Sun 21:48:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ to be fair, there are worse versions of Backdoors than 3
Sun 21:48:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ probably most of them
Sun 21:49:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sure, it crashes a lot, but at least it starts a lot more quickly than the newer ones
Sun 21:49:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ plus it doesn't push ads or ruscist propaganda in your face
Sun 21:49:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and doesn't tell you to schedule reboots
Sun 21:50:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, Windows 3 didn't do auto updates or really any updates.
Sun 21:50:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ indeed
Sun 21:50:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You got the version that came on the floppy disk.
Sun 21:51:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could add internet software if you wanted.
Sun 21:51:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and there's no point in updating MICROS~1 products anyway, it's not like they'll ever improve
Sun 21:51:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's better to keep it offline
Sun 21:51:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Networking software for Windows 3.1 was better than you might think.
Sun 21:51:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ could be, but only because i've seen too much of their crap to expect anything good
Sun 21:51:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most people were not trying to exploit vulnerabilities in that.
Sun 21:51:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They were much more interested in getting malware onto the newer Windows 9x systems.
Sun 21:52:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ first time i moused over the "widgets" icon on freshly installed Backdoors 11 (not my computer, of course) what i got is a panel full of index.hu articles
Sun 21:52:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ index.hu is a propaganda site of the hungarian pedophile alliance

Sun 21:57:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Jose Carcamo hmmm
Sun 21:57:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Wonder if he's here legally.
Sun 21:58:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's the thing about illegal immigrants. No vetting.
Sun 21:58:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you get more people who we would absolutely never let in through legal channels.
Sun 21:58:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ where's vetting working, though?
Sun 21:58:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if it works, you should have tried it on your presidential candidates before one of them became king...
Sun 21:58:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, you basically ask their home country "Hey, do they have crime records there?"
Sun 21:59:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ trusting a state? bad idea.
Sun 21:59:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And you look at their online presence.
Sun 21:59:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, it's worse when they just sneak in.
Sun 21:59:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then you don't get to investigate them at all.
Sun 21:59:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When a person breaks into the country and doesn't even bother to ask if it's okay...
Sun 21:59:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They've already committed a crime.
Sun 22:00:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So most illegal immigrants are criminals already.
Sun 22:00:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If we have no record of this person even entering the country, it means illegal entry.
Sun 22:00:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Illegally entering the country is a crime.
Sun 22:01:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Overstaying a visa isn't a crime, but it's a civil matter with legal consequences.
Sun 22:01:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Such as being deported and banned for years, or even forever.
Sun 22:01:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And if you re-enter when you've been banned that's an automatic felony.
Sun 22:01:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ none of it seems worse than what states, megacorporations and cults do
Sun 22:01:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, I'd like them to get to know these people a little better.
Sun 22:02:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We'd have less stuff like the decapitated woman in bleach on the front lawn.
Sun 22:02:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or the Venezuelan man and the Honduran man who killed a guy in Chicago that they met on Grindr.

Sun 22:12:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which is why he gave Jesse specific instructions to go out and find a #4 plastic tub, and Jesse gave up after trying one home improvement store.
Sun 22:12:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah
Sun 22:12:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And went back and smoked some meth and decided that dissolving a body in his upstairs bathtub would be a quick way to dispose of it.
Sun 22:13:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, That's how they killed a T-1000 in Terminator Genesys.
Sun 22:13:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ #4, is that LDPE?
Sun 22:13:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They tricked it into running after one of them under a vat of acid and then ripped open the vat with bullets.
Sun 22:13:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yep.
Sun 22:14:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could see the T-1000 dissolving in parts and pieces and trying to keep its form together to kill them before it was destroyed completely.
Sun 22:14:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's job dedication for you I guess.

Mon 02:04:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They almost always catch black murderers eventually, because the crime tends to be sloppy and obvious, committed in front of witnesses or even cameras, and gang or drug related.

Mon 03:28:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Last year Capital One said they had a special card offer just for Mandy, $300 bonus after $500 spend.
Mon 03:28:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They did a triple pull and declined it saying "too many credit cards". In other words, "We're not competing with all that."
Mon 03:29:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Mon 03:29:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I found out this is one state where Capital One does do triple pulls on everyone (pulls all of the major bureaus).
Mon 03:30:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So every time they say they have a special offer for him I start singing "Baby come back! You can get a triple pull!"
Mon 03:32:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what's a triple pull?
Mon 03:33:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In the US, you have all kinds of credit scores.
Mon 03:34:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It depends on the model and submodel.
Mon 03:34:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And there's also more than one credit bureau.
Mon 03:34:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They may not have the same information about you.
Mon 03:34:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ To make it even worse, they can modify the FICO software and even if they have the exact same information about you, your score can still be different between the bureaus.
Mon 03:35:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Banks that are really averse to risk and want to know everything about you, will use two or even three of the major bureaus, while others just use one.
Mon 03:35:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because it costs them to do things with those bureaus.
Mon 03:36:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ For example, American Express will pull your Experian and TransUnion reports and use FICO 8 if you're a new customer, you will get hard pulls on both.
Mon 03:36:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hard pulls damage your credit rating whether or not you get the card, but American Express is unique in that they tell you if you would get the card and you only get hard pulls if you accept it.
Mon 03:37:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Other banks make you apply, get the hard pulls, and then find out whether you're approved or not.
Mon 03:37:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ After you have one American Express personal credit card, you usually will not get hard pulls if you want another personal credit or charge card from them.
Mon 03:38:00 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Mon 03:38:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They will base their decisions on their internal data about how you're managing the one they already gave you, plus the latest soft pull on Experian FICO 8.
Mon 03:38:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They usually soft pull that one every month, but sometimes 3-4 times a month. Seems to depend on what mood the bank is in.
Mon 03:38:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ However, if you have personal cards and apply for a business, you'll get TU and EX hard pull again, and vice versa.
Mon 03:39:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So if you only have business cards, they'll hard pull you for personal ones.
Mon 03:39:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You're allowed to have five credit cards, any mix of personal and business.
Mon 03:39:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But charge cards don't count.

Mon 03:40:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So even though Mandy has a Hilton Honors and a Blue Cash Everyday and a Gold, that only counts as two.
Mon 03:40:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because the Gold is a charge card.
Mon 03:41:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's the hard limit anyway. What they'll actually approve YOU for is another story, but the hard limit for everyone is up to 5 personal and/or business credit cards, and theoretically unlimited charge cards.
