Just a few years ago, im pretty sure you had to get married, they had to go out of country and file the residency paperwork, and then wait until they could be issued a permanent residency. If they stay married and lived in the country for at least 3 years (i think they could spend some time away) , they could file to become a citizen. The residency process took about 6 months.

Biden made it so if the spouse was already in the country, and overstayed thier original travelers / residency / student / whatever visa, or just entered the country illegally, they could apply for the permanent residency without having to leave.

The court reverted it back to the old rules.

Some tried. Reddit told them to pay a ridiculous amount.

That said, you can still use the old apps through revanced. I haven’t had a rate limit yet, but I also might not make that many requests, as I don’t use it that much.

The original Frito Burrito!

I mean, they still make pop rocks…

Kava. I thought it was the way I was describing it. But they’ll go straight for hard liquor that tastes like shit.

Pretty sad when I’m relieved, instead of annoyed.

Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.

The real question is if your grandma, on the other side, is from the same generation as your dad. Then shit gets weird.

Your right, not for rushed workday mornings.

There is definitely time and patience involved to get it right on a consistent basis.

Never tried it camping before. Great idea!

Moka pot all the way!

Apparently Bangor maine has a big outdoor backyard, is probably relatively cheaper than other places along the east coast and is supposedly pretty lbgtq friendly.

Although that is not south of Maryland. Nevemind.

They’re trying to bring It back with slide elmo doing…well… the elmo slide.

I was like noooooo

“If I don’t do everything right, then my kid will end up living on my couch forever or be a serial killer. … I don’t know if or when I’ll have what it takes to be a ‘good’ parent."

These are pretty much the words I’ve heard spoken. Especially when there’s a lack of a support system / a support system you trust to help raise the kid right. The fear of permanently screwing up some poor soul is real.

I think stability is a pretty big factor too. It’s not just owning a house and having a job that pays the bills. It’s about being in a place where you feel able to really give the kid everything they will need, emotionally and monetarily, in the long term. If one can’t count on a job to see the humanity in people, or even pay a living wage, how can they trust that their employer won’t let them go if their “metrics” go to crap, or that they wont just drive them insane. It’s nice to think you can leave the baggage at the door, but I’ve definitely been employed at places that have permanently changed me as a person, and not for the better.

Obviously, everyone has their own reasons for not wanting a child, but, at its core, it’s our screwed up society and what it demands from us, with so little of a return.

Awesome, thanks! I’ll check it out.

Yeah, accidentally got the alarm too. I think it started a countdown to actually dialing 911, but didnt make it to 0 before i cancelled it. Well, I hope thats what it was anyways. Freaked me out.

Then I started thinking about if it did that when I was actually in trouble. I mean, if i was being held at gunpoint, I don’t think I want a giant alarm going off. I worry that would be a great way to get myself shot.

But, then I was ultimately thankful for it, in the circumstance at least, cause then it definitely would have dialed 911 and wouldn’t have known…

I still wish there was a way to call silently though. Or, maybe there is, but im not gonna purposefully get to the point where I could find out.

It’s almost like you started reading this Time Article but never finished.

Or maybe this sciences times article

While the consensus is out about whether or not or attention spans are really shortening, most sources say whatever is going on, isn’t permanent…yet.

We still have the ability to unplug and find something that’s truly interesting to us, something that we care about, and focus on it. We just have to find it, and then, actually do it.

If a good friend or best friend tells you a ridiculous secret, don’t under any circumstances, no matter how much time has past, no matter how silly the secret seems, don’t tell it to anyone else, ever.

I learned this the hard way…it’s usually a test.

Wow, a whole 2 mile evacuation zone? At least they kept the school closed for an extra day.

So considerate of them…

This.

You get some gear. It’s nice, but heavy…then you realize there’s so much lighter stuff out there.

$100/lbs later your congratulating yourself that your base weight is 15lbs until you add food and water, and you realize that your pack still is too heavy. You finally shave off another 2 lbs by buying all new luxury items at $30-$50 a pop, and getting a lighter stove.

Then winter comes, and that 4 season, dyneema tent looks mighty appealing. Not to mention you need a better rated sleeping bag (cause that hammock ain’t gonna cut it) and a pad, a better puffy and fleece, crampons, maybe an ice pick, and another stove that works in the cold…

Edit. Damn it, I forgot I need new shoes…even if I wanted to brave it using my summer pair, those trail running shoes are destroyed over the course of 1 season.

Thank you for the clarification.
