this is pretty brutal but im not familiar with the dataset and i imagine i might be missing some context

what i'm most curious about is, something like 10x as many applications are approved as visas can be granted by statute

so do most of these just go unfilled?
or is the limit just ignored (i assume not but who knows) or what
asstd comments from the boys and also response from OP, thanks all 🙏

natch

i think the actual optimal policy is "reform this" but i also understand the willingness of people to throw out the baby with the bathwater because they dont trust any reform to actually be implemented as intended

im not sure theyre wrong to doubt
this is one reason why you

Don't
Fucking
Lie

for short term political gain

if you fuck people with a policy after lying about it they're not gonna trust you again and you may be unable to get a sensible compromise position during the backlash
further discussion re: h1b and reported entry level jobs shortages

good grief

i get it now, this is legit. reddit objects are objects recommended to _entry-level enthusiasts_ by topical subreddits because they work well to improve lives over baseline with a relatively low level of effort for a majority of cases

reddit objects are high ROI!

for example,
r/strength_training reddit object

yeah i know other forums came first but its quintessential

is it right everywhere? does everyone need to be doing squats all the time? does it ignore aesthetics?

who cares! way better than default gym behavior Image
another example. r/malefashionadvice reddit objects for casual and business dress

unfortunately yeah all are not what they used to be and yeah those jeans should be selvedge Image

nearly broke a tooth eating a frozen pizza tonight

wonder how that got baked in Image
ive probably had several hundred frozen pizzas in my life so odds are its safe and economical to continue eating red baron pizzas at $5 a pop
this is good

im gonna mail it back and let them know their part went missing. im sure theyll be happy to be able to replace it

i think maybe the term of art for this is "pickme"? idk

shes minmaxxing and shamelessly trading off homosocial status for heterosexual appeal

my theory is that women who are mad about this arent wrong to be but the specific reason for their anger is that shes a gender traitor

realistically there's no way to stop people from tacitly or explicitly allocating taxes and benefits on the basis of race and large portions of the country have interests in this happening or ideological commitments to doing so

this is just our life now
supreme court rulings arent gonna change anything, no one gives a shit about the law on principle and its easy to obfuscate discrimination to taste

any direct government enforcement will i expect inevitably be straightforwardly politically motivated
the norms to which new immigrants are assimilating and young natives inculcated are immensely ethnically charged without any public and common ideal of transcending race for an american identity, an identity which frankly doesnt even exist anymore

as long as we're sending insane ideas to @JDVance

does the federal government have to enforce laws everywhere or can it announce it won't?

because one funny thing the administration could do would be to deprioritize the enforcement of most federal laws in sanctuary states
>“congrats, california, you're now libertarian af. no OSHA, no IRS audits, no EPA. enjoy.”

it’d be legally coherent and politically thermonuclear. which means someone will definitely try it. Image

alternatively trump could target blue states by actually enforcing marijuana law which would be very funny too

hmmm sure ok i'll bite

the rheinweisenlager don't seem that bad tbh

i havent looked at the wikipedia page and wont, just going to attach some commentary and notes on context
the rheinweisenlager were a bunch of concentration camps in the original sense where surrendered wehrmacht soldiers were held for several months in 1945

the camps were run by the US, apparently, and that's important
during the closing months of the war absolutely insane numbers of encircled and overwhelmed german soldiers surrendered . . . in the west

less so in the east, where they were more inclined to fight to the death against the red army
