Yes, the first half of my professional career. I went from nothing to working at the same level with the people on top of the system.

Which I all then promptly lost and now I work a shit job for shit money. One of many reasons I'm socialist leaning these days.

Oh, I didn't follow it closely but I was convinced he was convicted of sexual abuse. I guess it just speaks about the power of public opinion even if you don't get formally convicted. For better or worse.

Its easy if you have nothing to fear because you are already convicted

So I had to look up what an "autopen" is.

The US president not only has basically dictatorial powers to create laws (call them executive orders or whatever, they're still laws), he can delegate the actual signing to someone else by a device that imitates signatures. So basically the idea of the president can create laws.

How was that ever a functional country ....

Loud street beggars - never. They are usually members (or victims) of criminal organizations. Even if they are forced to do it, giving them anything only makes the business profitable for their bosses.

Poor people you know otherwise. Like for example a homeless person in your neighborhood who doesn't usually ask for anything. Help them if you can, especially with non-monetary support. Food, clothes you don't need, personal hygiene supplies, etc...

For all native English speakers, this is how the rest of us feel about any words in English

DoS on the universe

I mean it depends which ones are you watching.

True crime series usually deal with crimes where the perpetrator is undeniably guilty, and typically of very heinous crimes. It shows cases where the police is correctly doing what should be their job.

If there are any videos that show "we assaulted a random person on the street" type of police work in a positive way, I haven't seen it yet.

Aliens? Egyptians need no aliens.
Even today Egyptian builders cheat laws of physics.

That's quite a crossover

Do we have anyone here who works in US customs, or whichever agency is in charge of applying these tariffs?
How do you guys even keep track of what to charge when tariffs change daily?

This place is for "fuck cars" in the negative way, like for hating on cars.
Not "cars I'd like to fuck because it looks so good". And this car does look awesome.

At some point airlines stopped doing the hub-and-spoke model where all flight come into one big airport and then passengers change flights onward to their destination. Now they favor the point-to-point model, which as the name suggests means every destination pair is served by an individual flight.

As to why. It's probably financial but it don't know for sure really.

It's easy to see how someone might fall into an anti-immigrant pipeline with news like this.

• Thousands of immigrants are willing to risk death to reach the UK which they see as a promised land
• I live in the UK and see nothing of this promised land, on the contrary my life is quite shitty, I'm barely making the ends meet
• Therefore the good life opportunities are taken by the immigrants

Of course what's missing is the first-hand insight in the immigrant life, which is far from comfortable.

Which makes me think what is driving those people to see specifically the UK as a promised land. Rather than any other country. Mass hysteria/cultural phenomenon? An extreme case of FOMO?

Is the original satire? I know Americans are obsessed with presentism on the job, but even they understand the concept of a vacation?

Homophobes: resist those evil urges, don't give it to the gay sex, you can do it just say no...

The rest of us: uh, who's gonna tell them

Change imposed by force never works. Iranian people need to overwhelmingly decide to do it. Providing help is fine, but bombing them into "freedom" never works. It actually has the opposite effect, when you feel in danger (because for example bombs are falling around you) you'll less likely to start a revolution.

People from some cultures (typically those where Islam is dominant, but not exclusively) are more prone to behavior like this. Probably due to a system of values they have adopted in their environment and upbringing.
Call it Islamophobia or something else it does lend itself to the idea that some people should be regarded with more default suspicion than others, based on their origins. As long as each individual is treated as just that - individual, and not blamed for the crimes of others, a higher base level of suspicion is unfortunate but a normal human reaction that shouldn't be treated as some kind of horrible sin.
