I’m a Canadian living in the US with an H1B. I’ve exited and returned to the US multiple times including after Trump and thankfully no issues despite my extreme anxiety each time.

Why? To reduce paperwork?

Agreed, I wasn’t trying to be sarcastic. I’m afraid that the officer was simply being a sicko rather than actually “investigating”.

Hope it wasn’t the underwear specifically.

How can I follow this book? I’m interested too.

Nukes for everyone yay! Hey Georgia is also under Russian threat, why don’t they also get a nuke or two? Then maybe their neighbor Armenia will think to themselves “why not me, I’m also under threat by an ex-Soviet country”? Then maybe Azerbaijan, then Turkey, then Saudi Arabia, everyone gets a nuke, I freaking love it! Then maybe other countries that got invaded by a bigger power like maybe Vietnam? Iraq? Why not!

Sorry, there’s absolutely zero context behind whether a group of humans deserve human rights.

Would you know if I already started a project on my personal account can I still move it to a new LLC account?

Also, assume I already have an LLC then how do I indicate this account is an LLC? Can you sign up as an organization on Firebase?

How do you do that?

Distraction from what? It’s not like you’re driving your car as you type.

I’d wager this is a more common view than a lot of people admit. The mass murder, starvation, absolute disregard of international law, and basic human rights.

Extremely Western biased, at least last time I visited several months ago. You’d get the sense that Ukraine is absolutely winning the war and kicking Russia’s ass from what I saw on there only to realize there’s much, much more to the story.

As a Palestinian living in North America for over 20 years, I totally hear you about it being a sad thing. Feels heartbreaking and scary to me, given that it was part of my identity.

Why don’t you say the same about Hasidic Jewish communities? Or you wouldn’t be so okay to be labeled antisemitic?
