Trash country continues circling the drain.

Remember folks, always vote against Republicans in the most likely manner to prevent them from having any level of power.

@DarkFuture@lemmy.world

@return2ozma@lemmy.world That's a pretty short sighted view considering just ~150 years ago the Democrats were the party against abolishing slavery. Times change, but American politics really don't.

Limiting the choice to the lesser of two evils only benefits one of the classes in the real fight. As Alaska (since 2022) and NYC (this week) have shown, RCV allows voters to select who they really want to lead regardless of whether polls say they are "wasting" their vote.

Yet another reason not to study there. Ideological screening, what a joke.

So an applicant with dangerous people in their life, maybe an abusive family member or a stalker ex, is forced to expose their accounts they would otherwise keep private. That's the first bad-case scenario that comes to mind, I'm sure there are more.

I propose a new rule - if so for me, then so for thee. Anything imposed on legal applicants is also imposed on the lawmakers who put it in place.

There is no rule against deleting accounts, my friend.

applicants for several kinds of student visas would be required to "adjust the privacy settings on all of their personal social media accounts to 'public'

They are so ridiculous.

But ofc it's not going to happen. They can lick my.

It already is happening. Source: a person getting a visa now-ish.

Are kids living under helicopter parents that want them to study abroad even allowed to have a social media account by the parents?

Most based article from a Libertarian news site I've ever read.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago
