There’s lots of shit there, but it’s not in a hole, unfortunately. It just sits there right on the pavement.

Why do Americans keep comparing crime rates to 30-50 years ago? Compare to other societies now. There’s supposed to be progress, and in other places, there has been.

How does it feel to post outright incorrect information? Do you delete now or leave it up?

Not an expert on GDPR but can't imagine privacy strict EU agreeing to this. US shutting down visa waiver for EU would be dumb as the Consulates are already swamped and absolutely cannot handle that level of B1/B2 visa applications

you're an ass. my child is a toddler. they need to be exploring and interacting with other children, in person, playing, learning and receiving stimuli, not locked at home staring at screens.

Sounds to me they likely don't have children. Even one week at home for my kid is damaging let alone a year. The kids weren't spreading covid to teachers. Teachers could have worn respirators and been fine. Governments should have

It's easy to romanticise the early days of the internet but seeing this brought a tinge of depression.

We are back in offices in Sydney for a while now. I think Singapore too. Most flexibly and tech the slowest to return. Trust me things get back to normal quickly, it's just about momentum

We check in with a govt app and QR codes in NSW and all of Australia does this and venues confirm before letting you in. It's integrated into the Service NSW app so I don't need a separate one. Same app where my digital drivers li

We had a 5% decline in suicide this year in Sydney. Although it wasn’t a very hard or long lockdown. The hypothesis is that increased welfare payments may be the reason but personally I believe the slow down/pause to what was a hectic

I keep saying this about the silly island argument. It's not like the virus is coming into the US via Mexico and Canada. And domestic travel was halted with state border closures. The key is slowing movement. It's been perplexing

It's probably not the office people dislike, it's the commute. If your office was next door to your house and all your colleagues were there you wouldn't go? You could come back for lunch and go back and forth as needed.

Americans are just race obsessed. There's basically no argument in the national discourse about race being a human construct with no basis in science.

WTF is going on here? This man was followed into his condo by a man dressed in a black suit and a mask carrying an electric saw. That man killed him and was in the process of cutting his body into parts. Is this a random serial killer or so

Right people always bring up that quote "nobody on their deathbed wished they worked more." But how many people on their deathbed regret a life passed in mediocrity, without at least attempting to master or excel at something; may

Not possible for me. The behaviour of others around me on the train stresses me out immensely, especially sneezing and coughing (and that was pre-COVID), listening to music or phone calls on speakerphone on crowded trains, stupid conversati

Why do you struggle with staying home so much? What exactly are you missing? You can socialise at home, and maintain distance easily. You can still do outdoor activities. It's basically concerts, sporting events, restaurants and bars?

what? NYC has been dropping significantly, with a positivity rate of under 2%. Texas is at 10%. Nobody's freaking out about NYC right now.

Yes this appears to be a loophole, wherein anyone in the US on June 24 who has a valid nonimmigrant visa (could be a tourist or student visa) is able to obtain a visa label in a banned category at a US Consulate. That said whether DOS inter

He should apply for B2 then change status to H1B once in the US using the H1B petition. They may deny it but... Worth it. Btw not correct that you need to show no American workers available for an H1B.

yes you are right. You eventually need a visa label as soon as you abroad. Upon renewal even the most trivial thing can be used with no transparency or accountability or review and keep you out of the country for life. Bam. Can't get b

is this satirical? that's entirely the point, they have to train Americans rather than hiring foreigners. the entire point is to benefit WORKERS, not businesses.
