  1. Valuable and quite interesting. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What to Do When You're Canceled: A report from the front lines [...] If you find yourself the target of a cancellation campaign, as I did two years ago (about which more anon), you'll understand the difference. What follows is a guide for what to do if it happens to you. The most important task when facing a cancellation campaign is [...] https://www.city-journal.org/article/what-to-do-when-youre-canceled
  2. 'Hood, not city, see mam ma'am. --- I have set Cat T-B.'s annual fizzicle* exam for Tuesday. *should be the spelling She didn't escape the casa even once in 13 months, so maybe we can postpone the rabies shot. The chief agenda item is a thorough 4-wheel manicure.
  3. Can you call for assistance? There should be a phone number.
  4. This is a fine thing to say about Mr. mam ma'am, si and see and mam ma'am! We had to do everything, sigh man, and then-Mrs.-T-B. never even brought us a bottle of Powerade, no man.
  5. Having been on both sides, I can see both sides. Your comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gen Z job seeker refused to do 90-minute task because it 'looked like a lot of work'—now the CEO who complained about it is being slammed An employer has sparked fierce debate after being so shocked a Gen Z job seeker refused to spend 90 minutes on a hiring test because it "looked like a lot of work" that he vented about the situation on X, formerly known as Twitter. People who've job-hunted recently have probably quickly found out that getting hired is no longer as simple as submitting a résumé followed by an in-person interview or two.

  6. Let's send them all over there now, as a test, and they can report back.
  7. Immigration is Federal, so location doesn't matter. Less expensive and almost certainly more thorough than an attorney: https://www.visajourney.com/partners/platinum-immigration-services/
  8. Thrilling Monday-on-Tuesday report, see man: Awoke feeling poorly, oh well man. Took Mama T-B. to doctor caucus, chauffeur senior she man we man.

Miu was active all day, maybe miu excited at Big Bruddah's presence man. We had to brush miu Many (2+1) times, insistent miu man. No party with the rubias, too lethargic to cavort we man. Unsure of Tuesday plans, spontaneous we man.
  9. Looks like the French police got there before the encampments were fully established and populated.
  10. Most people here are pursuing their fiancé or spousal visas via do-it-themselves effort. Others have hired lawyers, which has yielded mixed results in terms of time and success. Others have hired a VJ Partner, one of which is: https://www.visajourney.com/partners/platinum-immigration-services/ The choice of which course to follow is up to you.
  11. Welcome to the forum! Yes, the process can feel daunting at first. Here's a comparison of the K-1 and CR-1 visas, as compiled by one of our fine members: ~~~~~~~~~~ K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse cannot leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse cannot work until she/he receives Employment Authorization (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status (I-485, I-131, I-765) required Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US ~~~~~~~~~~ If you haven't yet done so, read the Guides (drop-down menu atop any VisaJourney page) for more about the respective processes. Others here will be along with more to say.
  12. Biden Drops Support For Pro-Palestine Protestors After Realizing How Bad Their Hair Smells [...] "Not interested, folks," Biden said after briefly embracing the protestor. "While I am very much in favor of people engaging in their right to dissent, I thought their hair would… I thought it would smell a lot like... like… not so much like… less like rotten garbage. I caught a whiff of that gal's hair when I hugged her. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-drops-support-for-pro-palestine-protestors-after-realizing-how-bad-their-hair-smells

  14. I agree with all of the comments. See the 1-minute video. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jewish UCLA Student Forcibly Blocked from Attending Class by Pro Hamas Mob [...] This student is trying to get to his class. He is simply trying to attend class. He isn't trying to disrupt their protest or even counter protest. All he wants to do is go to class. The Hamas apologists won't allow it and the security guard won't intervene to help him either.

  16. Cal Poly Shuts Down Its Campus Until Autumn After Students Trash 'Intifada Hall' [...] Speaking of Intifada Hall … what is peaceful about seizing control of the school's administrative building and calling it Intifada Hall? That doesn't sound antisemitic at all. Apparently Cal Poly has just given up the fight and closed down the campus until the fall semester. Here's a quick tour of the makeover the "protesters" have given to school property: [...] https://twitchy.com/brettt/2024/04/29/cal-poly-shuts-down-its-campus-until-autumn-after-students-trash-intifada-hall-n2395698
  17. Sounds like colonizers and occupiers to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Pro-Palestine' Encampments Won't Allow Journalists to Enter or Ask Questions [...] Isn't that the whole point of these encampments? To amplify their message? But they don't allow "agitators." At Yale, a "demonstration marshal" requested that all reporters for the Yale Daily News leave the "liberated zone."

  19. Send one or two per quarter. What you have should be good. If you want more, consider finding a lawyer who can draft wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life."
  20. Left Coast Logic: San Francisco should arrest criminals, not burden businesses San Francisco Mayor London Breed is worried about crime in the city's Tenderloin district. So her solution is to make it even harder for small businesses to make a profit in the area. [...] https://www.texarkanagazette.com/news/2024/apr/28/editorial-left-coast-logic-san-francisco-should/
