You can kinda trust them if you use an archived version of it from before.

TV show discussions

It’s non-existent on Lemmy

Tor still works

You just have to change the circuit like 10 times.

Becuase they’d be leaving a population that is gonna need be in need of doctors so it kinda goes against the part about helping people.

But like, I don’t blame them for leaving.

Yea, that’s gonna be more difficult.

My aunts/uncles in China just had to take care of my Grandmother until my mom became a citizen and filed a petition for my Grandmother. And now my Grandmother is here.

My mom also filed a petition for my aunts (her sisters) and that also would include their immediate family (their husbands and their unmarried children under 21). But seeing how the politics is now in the US, I’m not sure they would want to come when they get approved (or if they would even get approved). Unlike my parents, who worked shitty jobs in China and therefore the US is a much appealing option; my aunts are teachers, so they have like government pensions and stuff, and their kids would be over 21 when they finally get off the waitlist. (They’ve been on the waitlist for like almost a decade now. A lot has changed in politics and economy.)

I mean, they talk everyday through wechat, so its not like they are far apart anyways.

That’s a decision for a family conversation.

I was in Mainland China, I didn’t make the decision to come to the US either, since I was a kid. My parents decided and that’s it. Parent’s have to make the decision about the future of their children. If the adults agree, then move. Kids will understand when they grow up.

Learning another language was rough, but eventally, I grew to like this place. Much less pollution, much more diverse people.

(It’s a shame how politics can ruin what the US could’ve been)

Usually you can bring your immidiate family members with you (spouse and children) if its an immigration visa.

As for extended family. You can apply for your parents and siblings after a certain time residing in the new country or upon becoming citizen there.

You can also stay in touch via the internet while waiting.

If I was a Doctor, I’d just leave. Plenty of countries would welcome a doctor.

Screw the hippocraric oath, Hippocrates is dead and I’m not joining him.

He’d be using Bing (search engine) and be Chilling

Curious what “safe” list you are referring to?

This community’s wiki/megathread

AT&T has a whitelist system, they check IMEIs often and if your device is not approved, cell service stops working.

For Verizon, you have to call customer service to do a manual override.

Only T-Mobile allows any phone to work without explicit approval.

Probably some reason like they don’t want people complaining the service is bad because they use a “no-name brand” phone, so they just cut you off and blame your phpne because it’s easier for corporate. (Yay, capitalism! 🫠 /s)

I heard that Australia now has a Nationwide whitelist system that even block unapproved phones from calling the emergency number.

Technology is really getting enshittified. 😓

Most people left-of-center in the US are too afraid to touch a gun. Meanwhile the far-right collect guns like trophies.

Guns mean nothing if the “good guys” continue having their fantasy of non-violence.

Edit: And while there might be individuals left-of-center who do have guns, it doesn’t acomplish anything unless we have a lot of them also collectively take up arms to defend against tyranny, as in an organized militia.

There are currently more right-wing militias than any left-wing ones.

Well, thanks the Democrats for making it much harder to get a gun. But we “saved the kids” amirite?

So we’re doing the 25th and then have tariffs on couches?

Legally dead people can commit crimes. They’ll try you as a “John Doe”

Conversely, even if you kill someone who was legally marked as dead, you still murdered someone who cannot be identified, you murdered a “John Doe”

Just because you don’t legally exist, doesn’t mean people suddenly can’t see you.

Lol, they’re sending in en masse.

I’ll bet a straight white cisgender man also got it.

I mean, have you seen their OPSEC? They sent classified materials to some journalist 🤣

Not to mention, there are theives everywhere in tourist hotspots (in every country, no exceptions)

Also, you can’t really bring cats on vacations

Vacations cannot fix brain chemicals

This triggers my germaphobia so much… 🤮

gave up any semblence of rationality

Its funny to see how even though my brother is a racist that doesn’t like Black People and Mexicans, he still voted Harris out of self-interest. Guess there are still bigots that aren’t totally braindead.

(For context: We’re non-white Naturalized Citizens and working class)
