Charlie Kirk was killed by someone because he had an apathy for gun violence in education which, inevitably, then happened to him. In a way, the death of Charlie Kirk is an almost perfect encapsulation of his own beliefs. If we are to liste

Will this actually fix anything though, or will it just make it so we can't "blame immigrants for America's problems"? Because if that's the only reason we're doing it, then frankly that's a very stupid re

Also consider that these "new people" are assets to our economy. They're tax payers, many are highly educated, and their presence over the last hundred years is the exact reason you have the privilege of being in a wealthy co

The evidence for the need of immigration reform was always weak and, frankly, basically non-existent. What happened was white people saw brown people coming in and got uncomfortable. That's it. The rest was just "fill in the blank

Sweden is a white hegemony, the US is not and has never been. It's not a fair comparison when the US has literally always been composed of immigrants. If you want a white hegemony, move to goddamn Sweden and leave us alone. That's

The implication for Trump and his constituency is that this only applies to brown people. White people are, naturally, not immigrants, even when they are. That's why 100% of the examples Trump would use would be of brown people.

The "only" is doing A LOT of heavy lifting. Also, you're being a bit dishonest here, because this does not only apply to H1B visa holders. Also, are those people not the exact demographic that so-called "anti illegal&quo

Okay so? Just saying "buh buh immigration!" doesn't demonstrate why the immigration is bad, which was the posters point. Also, the fascism isn't enforcement, lol, and you know that. I hate people who try to be cheeky and

Well their either racist or they're too stupid to realize why it's racist. Which is... better? Maybe? But not by much.

Okay but this has not been the case in the US and everyone knows that. We can try to make things up to rationalize why this being done. Or, we can be honest, and acknowledge these actors have proven themselves to be irrational. What is happ

Literally how could he possibly know that? He's just saying racist things because he's obviously a racist. Haitian immigrants aren't eating cats or dogs either, we need to stop listening to him as an authority on anything. If

It very obviously was not self defense. People will always lie in these situations and claim self defense. But, driving near an ICE officer and saying mean things is not life threatening. Maybe ICE are more cowardly than we should expect, a

The US in particular has always been made up of immigrants. I don't know how it works for canada. But for the US, that's always been the case. We're a country by immigrants, for immigrants. An American identity is not one of

The point is your parents, or their parents, were immigrants. But those very same people we are now trying to restrict from coming here. Meaning, if we time travel and apply these restrictions, you yourself would have never been a citizen

They almost certainly are, at least before we account for education. Education is, of course, not uniform. But... the US also has not the best education, so.

Most people in the US are immigrants, including white people. Very few white people have a lineage to the revolution. Most came from Europe following WWII or, perhaps, before. This most likely includes you. The idea that the US is composed

To show that they're not freeloaders. A lot of right-wingers have a belief that immigrants are implicitly freeloaders, and therefore getting rid of them will make the economy better. Of course it's just not true. Like most current

No? If you're born in the US you have US citizenship, you're American. You don't just magically get citizenship for your parents home country, at least not for most countries.

This maybe doesn't feel like an lol type comment. It really stinks that our processes are this broken, and frankly it's a bit embarrassing.

Many interpreted languages have this feature, including PHP these days. But they're still quite slow, because dynamic languages are just slow. Dynamic typing is very suboptimal because generally you have to box A LOT of stuff and burn

Realistically you're much more likely to be searched in a motor vehicle than on the subway. I've had my car searched - it's very easy for the police to do.

I mean naturally the question is why do some people's soft palate collapse while sleeping while others don't. Could it possible be due to musculature and structure of the palate and tongue? And, if it is, could therapy help mitiga

You can generally see who has sleep apnea just by looking at their face - there's a particular anatomy that comes with heavy mouth breathing and obstructive sleep apnea. If you speak to people who have obstructive sleep apnea, virtuall

The result of this might be NGO money being used to fund inefficiency or even corruption. By maintaining their own channels, the NGOs can be more certain their funds are being used responsibly. It's possible otherwise local government

As it currently stands the police already do almost nothing. Any kind of push back or critique of the police leads to inaction by the union. Meaning, police twiddle their thumbs and take your tax money because they can. It's a very eff

I mean, what's the goal here? AI does everything and then... and then what? We all die? Most of us die except a select few who rule the world (which, by the way, would not include you or me)? The reason we won't let AI run rampant

But what you and others have to understand is that real life is not simple and linear. There's no garauntee that things just continue to get better and better. I mean, it's not like we kept building cars and then eventually everyo
